matrix-transpose

Transposes a matrix by switching the row and column indices of a multidimensional array:

transpose(array)

In other words, it flips a matrix over its diagonal. Inspired by the Replit.

Example

const { transpose } = require('matrix-transpose');

transpose([
  [1, 2],
  [3, 4],
  [5, 6],
]);

Output:

[
  [1, 3, 5],
  [2, 4, 6]
]

Install

NPM:

npm install matrix-transpose --save

Yarn:

yarn add matrix-transpose

CDN:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/matrix-transpose@latest/umd/matrix-transpose.min.js"></script>
<script>
  window.MatrixTranspose.transpose(/* array */);
</script>

Usage

Import module:

// ES Modules
import { transpose } from 'matrix-transpose';

// CommonJS
const { transpose } = require('matrix-transpose');

Transpose matrix:

transpose([
  [1, 2],
  [3, 4],
  [5, 6],
]);

Output:

[
  [1, 3, 5],
  [2, 4, 6]
]

Transpose matrix with inconsistent column lengths:

transpose([[1], [2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]);

Output:

[
  [1, 2, 4],
  [, 3, 5],
  [, , 6]
]

Options

excludeEmpty

When option excludeEmpty is set to true, then empty items are excluded:

transpose([[1], [2, 3], [4, 5, 6]], { excludeEmpty: true });

Output:

[[1, 2, 4], [3, 5], [6]]
