comparison based algorithms:
- bubble sort
- insertion sort
- selection sort
- heap sort
divide and conqure algorithms:
- quick sort
- merge sort
- counting sort
randomized algorithms
- bogo sort
coming soon:
- radix sort (coming soon)
- bucket sort (coming soon)
API
bubble(arr[, sortKey])
insertion(arr[, sortKey])
selection(arr[, sortKey])
merge(arr[, sortKey])
heap(arr[, sortKey])
bogo(arr, [, sortKey])
counting(arr, [, sortKey])parameter | type | required | default | notes
----------|------|----------|---------|------
arr | number[] or obj[] | yes | - | A 1D array of numbers or an array of objects. If an array of objects is passed, a key must be provided.
sortKey | string | no* | - | The key for the values that the array of objects will be sorted against
quick(array[, sortKey[, low [, high]]])parameter | type | required | default | notes
----------|------|----------|---------|------
arr | number[] or obj[] | yes | - | A 1D array of numbers or an array of objects. If an array of objects is passed, a key must be provided.
sortKey | string | no* | - |The key for the values that the array of objects will be sorted against. If you want to configure the high and low sorting conditions for an array of numbers you must pass null.
low | number | no | 0 | The starting index.
high | number | no | array.length - 1 | The ending index.
* required for arrays of objects only
Example implementation
import { bubble } from 'algo-sorter';
const myArray = [6, 10, 3];
const myArray2 = [{myKey: 6}, {myKey: 10}, {myKey: 3}];
bubble(myArray); // [3, 6, 10]
bubble(myArray2, 'myKey'); // [{myKey: 3}, {myKey: 6}, {myKey: 10}]Testing locally
