Methods

  • Identical to Array.at(). Returns the item at a given index, allowing for positive and negative integers. Negative integers count back from the last item in the collection.

    Parameters

    • index: number

      The index of the element to obtain

    Returns undefined | Value

  • Returns void

  • Creates an identical shallow copy of this collection.

    Returns Collection<Key, Value>

    const newColl = someColl.clone();
    
  • Combines this collection with others into a new collection. None of the source collections are modified.

    Parameters

    const newColl = someColl.concat(someOtherColl, anotherColl, ohBoyAColl);
    
  • Parameters

    Returns boolean

    true if an element in the Map existed and has been removed, or false if the element does not exist.

  • Returns a new collection containing the items where the key is present in this collection but not the other.

    Parameters

    Returns Collection<Key, Value>

    const col1 = new Collection([['a', 1], ['b', 2]]);
    const col2 = new Collection([['a', 1], ['c', 3]]);

  • The sort method sorts the items of a collection in place and returns it. The sort is not necessarily stable in Node 10 or older. The default sort order is according to string Unicode code points.

    Parameters

    • OptionalcompareFunction: Comparator<Key, Value>

      Specifies a function that defines the sort order. If omitted, the collection is sorted according to each character's Unicode code point value, according to the string conversion of each element.

    Returns this

    collection.sort((userA, userB) => userA.createdTimestamp - userB.createdTimestamp);
    
  • Removes items that satisfy the provided filter function.

    Parameters

    • fn: (value: Value, key: Key, collection: this) => unknown

      Function used to test (should return a boolean)

    • thisArg: This

      Value to use as this when executing the function

    Returns number

    The number of removed entries

  • Returns a new collection containing only the items where the keys are present in either collection, but not both.

    Type Parameters

    • OtherValue

    Parameters

    Returns Collection<Key, Value | OtherValue>

    const col1 = new Collection([['a', 1], ['b', 2]]);

  • Returns a new collection containing the items where the key is present in either of the collections.

    Type Parameters

    • OtherValue

    Parameters

    Returns Collection<Key, Value | OtherValue>

    If the collections have any items with the same key, the value from the first collection will be used.
