💡 Why dslib-core?
dslib-core
is your go-to toolkit for advanced data structures in TypeScript and JavaScript. It bridges the gap left by standard libraries, empowering developers with the tools they need for efficient data management and manipulation.
Whether you're building a complex algorithm or optimizing application performance, dslib-core
provides the building blocks you need to succeed.
Note: Currently only compatible with ESM projects.
📦 Installation
Install the package via npm:
npm install dslib-core
🚀 Getting Started
Import using ESM syntax:
import { Queue } from 'dslib-core';
Quick start example:
const queue = new Queue<number>();
queue.enqueue(3);
console.log(queue.dequeue()); // Output: 3
🚧 Using dslib-core
in CommonJS Projects
dslib-core
is primarily designed for ESM (ECMAScript Module) environments. However, you can still use it in CommonJS projects with a few adjustments.
To use dslib-core
in a CommonJS project, we suggest using a dynamic import()
within an async IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expression). Here's an example:
// CommonJS project example
(async function () {
const { Queue } = await import('dslib-core');
// Your code here
const queue = new Queue();
queue.enqueue(1);
console.log(queue.dequeue()); // Output: 1
})();
This approach allows you to use the ESM-native dslib-core
package within your CommonJS environment while maintaining asynchronous module loading.
🏗️ Data Structures
🔄 Queue
Implemented using a circular buffer to ensure efficient enqueue and dequeue operations.
Features
- Performance: Enqueue and dequeue operations with amortized O(1) complexity.
- Dynamic Resizing: Automatically resizes to manage memory usage efficiently.
- Iterable: Implements the
Iterable
interface, allowing you to use the queue withfor...of
loops, spread (...
) syntax and other iterable contexts. - Enhanced Runtime Privacy: Leverages ES2022 private class fields (
#
) for robust encapsulation, ensuring data privacy during execution. - Type Safety: Fully typed for TypeScript, ensuring type safety and IntelliSense support.
- Versatility: Suitable for handling numbers, strings, objects, and more.
Methods
enqueue(item: T): number
- Adds an item to the back of the queue.
- Time complexity: amortized O(1).
- Parameters:
item: T
- The item to add to the queue.
- Returns: The new size of the queue.
dequeue(): T | undefined
- Removes and returns the item at the front of the queue.
- Time complexity: amortized O(1).
- Returns: The item at the front of the queue, or
undefined
if the queue is empty.
peek(): T | undefined
- Returns the item at the front without removing it.
- Time complexity: guaranteed O(1).
- Returns: The item at the front of the queue, or
undefined
if the queue is empty.
get(index: number): T | undefined
- Retrieves the element at the specified index without removing it.
- Time complexity: guaranteed O(1) for any index.
- Parameters:
index: number
- The zero-based index of the element to retrieve.
- Returns: The item at the front of the queue, or
undefined
if the index is out of bounds.
size: number
(Getter)- Returns the number of items in the queue.
internalSize: number
(Getter)- Returns the internal capacity of the queue's buffer (useful for debugging or analysis).
clear(): void
- Removes all items from the queue.
[Symbol.iterator](): Iterator<T>
- Returns an iterator over the elements in the queue (allows for use with
for...of
loops and spread (...
) syntax).
- Returns an iterator over the elements in the queue (allows for use with
entries(): Iterator<[T, number]>
- Returns an iterator over the elements in the queue along with their indices.
- Yields: Tuples of
[element, index]
.
toString(): string
- Returns a string representation of the queue.
- Format:
Queue(size) { item1, item2, ... }
forEach(callbackFn: (value: T, index: number, queue: Queue<T>) => void): void
- Executes a provided function once for each element in the queue.
- Parameters:
callbackFn
- Function to execute for each element, taking three arguments:value: T
- The current element being processed.index: number
- The index of the current element.queue: Queue<T>
- The queue object being traversed.
Example Usage
import { Queue } from 'dslib-core';
const queue = new Queue<string>();
queue.enqueue('first');
queue.enqueue('second');
queue.enqueue('third');
console.log(queue.peek()); // Output: 'first'
console.log(queue.get(1)); // Output: 'second'
console.log(queue.size); // Output: 3
queue.forEach((value, index) => {
console.log(`Index ${index}: ${value}`);
});
// Output:
// Index 0: first
// Index 1: second
// Index 2: third
for (const item of queue) {
console.log(item);
}
// Output:
// first
// second
// third
for (const [item, i] of queue.entries()) {
console.log(`Index ${i}: ${item}`);
}
// Output:
// Index 0: first
// Index 1: second
// Index 2: third
const arr = [...queue];
console.log(arr.length); // Output: 3
console.log(queue.dequeue()); // Output: 'first'
console.log(queue.size); // Output: 2
console.log(queue.toString()); // Output: 'Queue(2) { 'second', 'third' }'
queue.clear();
console.log(queue.size); // Output: 0
console.log(queue.dequeue()); // Output: undefined
Performance
Performance: enqueue
and dequeue
methods offer performance comparable to the built-in array push
and pop
methods.

- The first table compares the performance of the built-in
push
method (on an empty array) and theenqueue
method (on an emptyQueue
). Benchmarks tasks run sequentially for 500ms each. - The second table compares the performance of the built-in
pop
andshift
methods, and thedequeue
method. Each benchmark task starts with an array/queue (as applicable) of size2^24
(approx. 16 million). Benchmarks tasks run sequentially for 200ms each. - Demonstrates similar efficiency to native array methods under high load, with a massive improvement over the buit-in
shift
method.
Note: The above benchmarks are run using items of type
object
in order to better simulate real-world scenarios. Using primitive data types likestring
ornumber
would generally result in faster performance.
