USA Array 🇺🇸
Dumb name, useful package
A lightweight dependancy free module to enhance JavaScript's array functionality.
npm i unitedstatesofamerica
Creating a New Array 🇺🇸
Import the wrapper from the module to use the extended methods without exposing the methods to standard arrays
const usa = require('unitedstatesofamerica');
// Wrap array in wrapper
const choices = usa([10, 20, 30, 40, 50]);
// Access custom array methods
choices.shuffle(); // [30, 50, 10, 40, 20]
To create a new iterable USA Array of a set length without specifying the values contained, use the .withLength(n)
method of the USA Array module.
const usa = require('unitedstatesofamerica');
// Using .withLength() to create an iterable array with a length of 5
const arr = usa.withLength(5); // Expected: [undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined]
// Able to access standard array methods
// Set each item in the array to a random value between 1 and 3
const randomValues = arr.map(() => Math.floor(Math.random() * 3) + 1);
console.log(randomValues); // Example: [ 3, 1, 2, 1, 2 ]
// Also able to access Array USA methods
randomValues.countOf(1); // Expected: 2
Extending Prototypes 🇺🇸
Optionally, invoke the .exposeProtos()
method to expose all arrays to the extended methods.
require('unitedstatesofamerica').exposeProtos();
const choices = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50];
// Access custom array methods
choices.shuffle(); // [30, 50, 10, 40, 20]
Chaining 🇺🇸
All Array USA methods that return arrays will return a new instance of Array USA, so standard JS Array methods, as well as Array USA methods can be chained.
require('unitedstatesofamerica').exposeProtos();
const grades = ['80', '60', '76', '100', '58', '96', '92', '62', '78', '84'];
const sortedPassingGrades = grades
.toNum() // ARRAY USA METHOD
.filter((score) => score > 72) // STANDARD ARRAY METHOD
.descending(); // ARRAY USA METHOD
console.log(sortedPassingGrades); // Expected: [100, 96, 92, 84, 80, 78, 76]

Shuffle
.shuffle()
will randomize the order of an array using the Fisher–Yates shuffle Algorithm
Example
Array USA Wrapper
const usa = require('unitedstatesofamerica');
const options = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
const unshuffled = usa(options); // Use the spread operator to pass in an existing array
const shuffled = unshuffled.shuffle(); // Expected: array in randomized order, like [8,3,4,2,10,5,1,9,6,7]
Extending Prototype
require('unitedstatesofamerica').exposeProtos();
const unshuffled = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
const shuffled = unshuffled.shuffle(); // Expected: array in randomized order, like [8,3,4,2,10,5,1,9,6,7]
Without Duplicates
.withoutDuplicates()
will return a new array without duplicate items
Example
Array USA Wrapper
const usa = require('unitedstatesofamerica');
const users = usa(['Justin', 'Justin', 'Jack', 'Amanda', 'Mary', 'Amanda']); // Pass values directly into the wrapper
const uniqueUsers = users.withoutDuplicates(); // Expected: ["Justin", "Jack", "Amanda", "Mary"]
Extending Prototype
require('unitedstatesofamerica').exposeProtos();
const users = ['Justin', 'Justin', 'Jack', 'Amanda', 'Mary', 'Amanda'];
const uniqueUsers = users.withoutDuplicates(); // Expected: ["Justin", "Jack", "Amanda", "Mary"]
Duplicates
.duplicates()
filters an array to include only items whose values appear more than once in the array.
Example
Array USA Wrapper
const usa = require('unitedstatesofamerica');
const logins = usa(['Justin', 'Justin', 'Jack', 'Amanda', 'Mary', 'Amanda']);
const duplicateLogins = logins.duplicates(); // Expected: ["Justin", "Amanda"]
Extending Prototype
require('unitedstatesofamerica').exposeProtos();
const logins = ['Justin', 'Justin', 'Jack', 'Amanda', 'Mary', 'Amanda'];
const duplicateLogins = logins.duplicates(); // Expected: ["Justin", "Amanda"]
Batch
.batch(limit)
will batch an array's elements into several nested arrays of a specified length.
Parameters
limit
(Integer) - Length of batch
Example
Array USA Wrapper

Extending Prototype
require('unitedstatesofamerica').exposeProtos();
const unbatched = ['Justin', 'Amanda', 'Mary', 'Kelly', 'Jonathan', 'Tom'];

Example
Array USA Wrapper
const usa = require('unitedstatesofamerica');
const words = usa(['foo', 'bar', 'baz']);

Extending Prototype
require('unitedstatesofamerica').exposeProtos();
const words = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'];
const wordsCopy = words.copy(); // Expected: ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
Deep Copy
.deepCopy()

Example
Array USA Wrapper
const usa = require('unitedstatesofamerica');
const original = usa([
{ foo: 'bar', foobar: ['foo', 'bar'] },
{ bar: 'foo', barfoo: ['bar', 'foo'] },

30,
20,
'Why does this array have so many types',
Symbol(),
'Oh yeah, to show you how to it can make a deep copy of any type',
]);
const copied = original.deepCopy(); // Makes a deep copy
// Object reference comparison
copied[0].foo = 'baz';
console.log(original[0].foo === copied[0].foo); // Expected: false
Extending Prototype
require('unitedstatesofamerica').exposeProtos();
const original = [
{ foo: 'bar', foobar: ['foo', 'bar'] },
{ bar: 'foo', barfoo: ['bar', 'foo'] },
{ foobar: ['foo', 'bar'] },
30,
20,
'Why does this array have so many types',
Symbol(),
'Oh yeah, to show you how to it can make a deep copy of any type',
];
const copied = original.deepCopy(); // Makes a deep copy
// Object reference comparison
copied[0].foo = 'baz';
console.log(original[0].foo === copied[0].foo); // Expected: false
Random
.random()

Example 1: With Callback Function
const usa = require('unitedstatesofamerica').exposeProtos();
const data = [
{ id: 'abc123', score: 97 },
{ id: 'def456', score: 82 },
{ id: 'hij789', score: 90 },
{ id: 'klm012', score: 78 },
];
// Expected: { abc123: 97, def456: 82, hij789: 90, klm012: 78 }
const scores = data.toObject((item) => ({ key: item.id, value: item.score }));
Example 2: Without Callback Function
const usa = require('unitedstatesofamerica');
// If array is already in [{ key, value }] format
// No callback function is required to convert to an object
const houseAttributes = [
{ key: 'sqFt', value: 2000 },
{ key: 'yearBuilt', value: 1998 },
{ key: 'bedrooms', value: 4 },
{ key: 'bathrooms', value: 2.5 },
];
// Expected: { sqFt: 2000, yearBuilt: 1998, bedrooms: 4, bathrooms: 2.5 }
const home = houseAttributes.toObject();
