Only Sort

A powerful and flexible TypeScript library for sorting arrays and collections. The library supports sorting of various data types, including strings, numbers, booleans, dates, objects, and arrays.

Features

• Typed Sorting: TypeScript-powered type safety for all sorting functions.
• Automatic Sorting: sortAuto automatically determines how to sort based on the type.
• Custom Sorters: Create and use custom sorting functions easily.
• Nullish Handling: Handles null and undefined values gracefully.
• High Modularity: Import only what you need.

Installation

Install the library via npm:

npm install sortit

Or via Yarn:

yarn add sortit

Or via pnpm:

pnpm add sortit

Or via Bun:

bun add sortit

Usage

Importing the Library

import { sortAuto, sortNumbers, sortStrings } from "sortit";

Sorting Examples

Sort Numbers

const numbers = [5, 2, 9, 1];
const sortedNumbers = sortNumbers(numbers);
console.log(sortedNumbers); // [1, 2, 5, 9]

Sort Strings

const strings = ["apple", "orange", "banana"];
const sortedStrings = sortStrings(strings);
console.log(sortedStrings); // ["apple", "banana", "orange"];

Sort Dates

const dates = [new Date(2022, 5, 1), new Date(2021, 1, 1)];
const sortedDates = sortAuto(dates);
console.log(sortedDates); // [2021-01-01T00:00:00.000Z, 2022-06-01T00:00:00.000Z]

Custom Sorter

import { sorter } from "sortit";

const customSorter = sorter((item) => item.length);
const words = ["short", "very long", "medium"];
const sortedWords = words.sort(customSorter);
console.log(sortedWords); // ["short", "medium", "very long"];
