Seq.Set

Seq which represents a set of values.

type Seq.Set<T> extends Seq<T, T>, Collection.Set<T>

Discussion

Because Seq are often lazy, Seq.Set does not provide the same guarantee of value uniqueness as the concrete Set.

Construction

Seq.Set()

Always returns a Seq.Set, discarding associated indices or keys.

Seq.Set<T>(collection?: Iterable<T> | ArrayLike<T>): Seq.Set<T>

Discussion

Note: Seq.Set is a conversion function and not a class, and does not use the new keyword during construction.

Static methods

Seq.Set.of()

Seq.Set.of<T>(...values: Array<T>): Seq.Set<T>

Conversion to JavaScript types

toJS()

Deeply converts this Set Seq to equivalent native JavaScript Array.

toJS(): Array<DeepCopy<T>>

Overrides

Collection#toJS()

toJSON()

Shallowly converts this Set Seq to equivalent native JavaScript Array.

toJSON(): Array<T>

Overrides

Collection#toJSON()

toArray()

Shallowly converts this collection to an Array.

toArray(): Array<T>

Overrides

Conversion to Seq

toSeq()

Returns itself

toSeq(): this

Overrides

Collection#toSeq()

toKeyedSeq()

Returns a Seq.Keyed from this Collection where indices are treated as keys.

toKeyedSeq(): Seq.Keyed<T, T>

Inherited from

Collection#toKeyedSeq()

Discussion

This is useful if you want to operate on an Collection.Indexed and preserve the [index, value] pairs.

The returned Seq will have identical iteration order as this Collection.

const { Seq } = require('immutable') const indexedSeq = Seq([ 'A', 'B', 'C' ]) // Seq [ "A", "B", "C" ] indexedSeq.filter(v => v === 'B') // Seq [ "B" ] const keyedSeq = indexedSeq.toKeyedSeq() // Seq { 0: "A", 1: "B", 2: "C" } keyedSeq.filter(v => v === 'B') // Seq { 1: "B" }run it

toIndexedSeq()

Returns an Seq.Indexed of the values of this Collection, discarding keys.

toIndexedSeq(): Seq.Indexed<T>

Inherited from

Collection#toIndexedSeq()

toSetSeq()

Returns a Seq.Set of the values of this Collection, discarding keys.

toSetSeq(): Seq.Set<T>

Inherited from

Collection#toSetSeq()

Combination

concat()

Returns a new Seq with other collections concatenated to this one.

concat<U>(...collections: Array<Iterable<U>>): Seq.Set<T | U>

Overrides

Collection#concat()

Discussion

All entries will be present in the resulting Seq, even if they are duplicates.

flatten()

flatten(depth?: number): Collection<unknown, unknown> flatten(shallow?: boolean): Collection<unknown, unknown>

Inherited from

Collection#flatten()

Sequence algorithms

map()

Returns a new Seq.Set with values passed through a mapper function.

map<M>(
mapper: (value: T, key: T, iter: this) => M,
context?: unknown
): Seq.Set<M>

Overrides

Seq#map()

Example

Seq.Set([ 1, 2 ]).map(x => 10 * x) // Seq { 10, 20 }

Note: map() always returns a new instance, even if it produced the same value at every step.

flatMap()

Flat-maps the Seq, returning a Seq of the same type.

flatMap<M>(
mapper: (value: T, key: T, iter: this) => Iterable<M>,
context?: unknown
): Seq.Set<M>

Overrides

Seq#flatMap()

Discussion

Similar to seq.map(...).flatten(true).

filter()

filter<F>(
predicate: (value: T, key: T, iter: this) => boolean,
context?: unknown
): Seq.Set<F>
filter(
predicate: (value: T, key: T, iter: this) => unknown,
context?: unknown
): this

Overrides

Seq#filter()

partition()

partition<F, C>(
predicate: (this: C, value: T, key: T, iter: this) => boolean,
context?: C
): [Seq.Set<T>, Seq.Set<F>]
partition<C>(
predicate: (this: C, value: T, key: T, iter: this) => unknown,
context?: C
): [this, this]

Overrides

Seq#partition()

filterNot()

Returns a new Collection of the same type with only the entries for which the predicate function returns false.

filterNot(
predicate: (value: T, key: T, iter: this) => boolean,
context?: unknown
): this

Inherited from

Collection#filterNot()

Discussion

const { Map } = require('immutable') Map({ a: 1, b: 2, c: 3, d: 4}).filterNot(x => x % 2 === 0) // Map { "a": 1, "c": 3 }run it

Note: filterNot() always returns a new instance, even if it results in not filtering out any values.

reverse()

Returns a new Collection of the same type in reverse order.

reverse(): this

Inherited from

Collection#reverse()

sort()

Returns a new Collection of the same type which includes the same entries, stably sorted by using a comparator.

sort(comparator?: Comparator<T>): this

Inherited from

Collection#sort()

Discussion

If a comparator is not provided, a default comparator uses < and >.

comparator(valueA, valueB):

  • Returns 0 if the elements should not be swapped.
  • Returns -1 (or any negative number) if valueA comes before valueB
  • Returns 1 (or any positive number) if valueA comes after valueB
  • Alternatively, can return a value of the PairSorting enum type
  • Is pure, i.e. it must always return the same value for the same pair of values.

When sorting collections which have no defined order, their ordered equivalents will be returned. e.g. map.sort() returns OrderedMap.

const { Map } = require('immutable') Map({ "c": 3, "a": 1, "b": 2 }).sort((a, b) => { if (a < b) { return -1; } if (a > b) { return 1; } if (a === b) { return 0; } }); // OrderedMap { "a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3 }run it

Note: sort() Always returns a new instance, even if the original was already sorted.

Note: This is always an eager operation.

sortBy()

Like sort, but also accepts a comparatorValueMapper which allows for sorting by more sophisticated means:

sortBy<C>(
comparatorValueMapper: (value: T, key: T, iter: this) => C,
comparator?: Comparator<C>
): this

Inherited from

Collection#sortBy()

Discussion

const { Map } = require('immutable') const beattles = Map({ John: { name: "Lennon" }, Paul: { name: "McCartney" }, George: { name: "Harrison" }, Ringo: { name: "Starr" }, }); beattles.sortBy(member => member.name);run it

Note: sortBy() Always returns a new instance, even if the original was already sorted.

Note: This is always an eager operation.

groupBy()

Returns a Map of Collection, grouped by the return value of the grouper function.

groupBy<G>(
grouper: (value: T, key: T, iter: this) => G,
context?: unknown
): Map<G, this>

Inherited from

Collection#groupBy()

Discussion

Note: This is always an eager operation.

const { List, Map } = require('immutable') const listOfMaps = List([ Map({ v: 0 }), Map({ v: 1 }), Map({ v: 1 }), Map({ v: 0 }), Map({ v: 2 }) ]) const groupsOfMaps = listOfMaps.groupBy(x => x.get('v')) // Map { // 0: List [ Map{ "v": 0 }, Map { "v": 0 } ], // 1: List [ Map{ "v": 1 }, Map { "v": 1 } ], // 2: List [ Map{ "v": 2 } ], // }run it

Iterators

[Symbol.iterator]()

[Symbol.iterator](): IterableIterator<T>

Overrides

Collection#[Symbol.iterator]()

keys()

An iterator of this Collection's keys.

keys(): IterableIterator<T>

Inherited from

Collection#keys()

Discussion

Note: this will return an ES6 iterator which does not support Immutable.js sequence algorithms. Use keySeq instead, if this is what you want.

values()

An iterator of this Collection's values.

values(): IterableIterator<T>

Inherited from

Collection#values()

Discussion

Note: this will return an ES6 iterator which does not support Immutable.js sequence algorithms. Use valueSeq instead, if this is what you want.

entries()

An iterator of this Collection's entries as [ key, value ] tuples.

entries(): IterableIterator<[T, T]>

Inherited from

Collection#entries()

Discussion

Note: this will return an ES6 iterator which does not support Immutable.js sequence algorithms. Use entrySeq instead, if this is what you want.

Members

size

Some Seqs can describe their size lazily. When this is the case, size will be an integer. Otherwise it will be undefined.

size: number | undefined

Inherited from

Seq#size

Discussion

For example, Seqs returned from map() or reverse() preserve the size of the original Seq while filter() does not.

Note: Range, Repeat and Seqs made from Arrays and Objects will always have a size.

Force evaluation

cacheResult()

Because Sequences are lazy and designed to be chained together, they do not cache their results. For example, this map function is called a total of 6 times, as each join iterates the Seq of three values.

cacheResult(): this

Inherited from

Seq#cacheResult()

Discussion

var squares = Seq([ 1, 2, 3 ]).map(x => x x) squares.join() + squares.join()

If you know a Seq will be used multiple times, it may be more efficient to first cache it in memory. Here, the map function is called only 3 times.

var squares = Seq([ 1, 2, 3 ]).map(x => x x).cacheResult() squares.join() + squares.join()

Use this method judiciously, as it must fully evaluate a Seq which can be a burden on memory and possibly performance.

Note: after calling cacheResult, a Seq will always have a size.

Value equality

equals()

True if this and the other Collection have value equality, as defined by Immutable.is().

equals(other: unknown): boolean

Inherited from

Collection#equals()

Discussion

Note: This is equivalent to Immutable.is(this, other), but provided to allow for chained expressions.

hashCode()

Computes and returns the hashed identity for this Collection.

hashCode(): number

Inherited from

Collection#hashCode()

Discussion

The hashCode of a Collection is used to determine potential equality, and is used when adding this to a Set or as a key in a Map, enabling lookup via a different instance.

const a = List([ 1, 2, 3 ]); const b = List([ 1, 2, 3 ]); assert.notStrictEqual(a, b); // different instances const set = Set([ a ]); assert.equal(set.has(b), true);run it

If two values have the same hashCode, they are not guaranteed to be equal. If two values have different hashCodes, they must not be equal.

Reading values

get()

get<NSV>(key: T, notSetValue: NSV): T | NSV get(key: T): T | undefined

Inherited from

Collection#get()

has()

True if a key exists within this Collection, using Immutable.is to determine equality

has(key: T): boolean

Inherited from

Collection#has()

includes()

True if a value exists within this Collection, using Immutable.is to determine equality

includes(value: T): boolean

Inherited from

Collection#includes()

alias

contains()

first()

In case the Collection is not empty returns the first element of the Collection. In case the Collection is empty returns the optional default value if provided, if no default value is provided returns undefined.

first<NSV>(notSetValue?: NSV): T | NSV

Inherited from

Collection#first()

last()

In case the Collection is not empty returns the last element of the Collection. In case the Collection is empty returns the optional default value if provided, if no default value is provided returns undefined.

last<NSV>(notSetValue?: NSV): T | NSV

Inherited from

Collection#last()

Reading deep values

getIn()

Returns the value found by following a path of keys or indices through nested Collections.

getIn(searchKeyPath: Iterable<unknown>, notSetValue?: unknown): unknown

Inherited from

Collection#getIn()

Discussion

const { Map, List } = require('immutable') const deepData = Map({ x: List([ Map({ y: 123 }) ]) }); deepData.getIn(['x', 0, 'y']) // 123run it

Plain JavaScript Object or Arrays may be nested within an Immutable.js Collection, and getIn() can access those values as well:

const { Map, List } = require('immutable') const deepData = Map({ x: [ { y: 123 } ] }); deepData.getIn(['x', 0, 'y']) // 123run it

hasIn()

True if the result of following a path of keys or indices through nested Collections results in a set value.

hasIn(searchKeyPath: Iterable<unknown>): boolean

Inherited from

Collection#hasIn()

Persistent changes

update()

This can be very useful as a way to "chain" a normal function into a sequence of methods. RxJS calls this "let" and lodash calls it "thru".

update<R>(updater: (value: this) => R): R

Inherited from

Collection#update()

Discussion

For example, to sum a Seq after mapping and filtering:

const { Seq } = require('immutable')

function sum(collection) { return collection.reduce((sum, x) => sum + x, 0) }

Seq([ 1, 2, 3 ]) .map(x => x + 1) .filter(x => x % 2 === 0) .update(sum) // 6run it

Conversion to Collections

toMap()

Converts this Collection to a Map, Throws if keys are not hashable.

toMap(): Map<T, T>

Inherited from

Collection#toMap()

Discussion

Note: This is equivalent to Map(this.toKeyedSeq()), but provided for convenience and to allow for chained expressions.

toOrderedMap()

Converts this Collection to a Map, maintaining the order of iteration.

toOrderedMap(): OrderedMap<T, T>

Inherited from

Collection#toOrderedMap()

Discussion

Note: This is equivalent to OrderedMap(this.toKeyedSeq()), but provided for convenience and to allow for chained expressions.

toSet()

Converts this Collection to a Set, discarding keys. Throws if values are not hashable.

toSet(): Set<T>

Inherited from

Collection#toSet()

Discussion

Note: This is equivalent to Set(this), but provided to allow for chained expressions.

toOrderedSet()

Converts this Collection to a Set, maintaining the order of iteration and discarding keys.

toOrderedSet(): OrderedSet<T>

Inherited from

Collection#toOrderedSet()

Discussion

Note: This is equivalent to OrderedSet(this.valueSeq()), but provided for convenience and to allow for chained expressions.

toList()

Converts this Collection to a List, discarding keys.

toList(): List<T>

Inherited from

Collection#toList()

Discussion

This is similar to List(collection), but provided to allow for chained expressions. However, when called on Map or other keyed collections, collection.toList() discards the keys and creates a list of only the values, whereas List(collection) creates a list of entry tuples.

const { Map, List } = require('immutable') var myMap = Map({ a: 'Apple', b: 'Banana' }) List(myMap) // List [ [ "a", "Apple" ], [ "b", "Banana" ] ] myMap.toList() // List [ "Apple", "Banana" ]run it

toStack()

Converts this Collection to a Stack, discarding keys. Throws if values are not hashable.

toStack(): Stack<T>

Inherited from

Collection#toStack()

Discussion

Note: This is equivalent to Stack(this), but provided to allow for chained expressions.

Collections (Seq)

keySeq()

Returns a new Seq.Indexed of the keys of this Collection, discarding values.

forEach(
sideEffect: (value: T, key: T, iter: this) => unknown,
context?: unknown
): number

Inherited from

Collection#forEach()

Discussion

Unlike Array#forEach, if any call of sideEffect returns false, the iteration will stop. Returns the number of entries iterated (including the last iteration which returned false).

Creating subsets

slice()

Returns a new Collection of the same type representing a portion of this Collection from start up to but not including end.

slice(begin?: number, end?: number): this

Inherited from

Collection#slice()

Discussion

If begin is negative, it is offset from the end of the Collection. e.g. slice(-2) returns a Collection of the last two entries. If it is not provided the new Collection will begin at the beginning of this Collection.

If end is negative, it is offset from the end of the Collection. e.g. slice(0, -1) returns a Collection of everything but the last entry. If it is not provided, the new Collection will continue through the end of this Collection.

If the requested slice is equivalent to the current Collection, then it will return itself.

rest()

Returns a new Collection of the same type containing all entries except the first.

rest(): this

Inherited from

Collection#rest()

join(separator?: string): string

Inherited from

Collection#join()

isEmpty()

Collection#isEmpty()

Discussion

For some lazy Seq, isEmpty might need to iterate to determine emptiness. At most one iteration will occur.

count()

context?: unknown
): number

Inherited from

Collection#count()

Inherited from

Collection#countBy()

Discussion

Note: This is not a lazy operation.

Search for value

find()

Returns the first value for which the predicate returns true.

context?: unknown,
notSetValue?: T
): T | undefined

Inherited from

Collection#find()

Collection#lastKeyOf()

max()

Returns the maximum value in this collection. If any values are comparatively equivalent, the first one found will be returned.

max(comparator?: Comparator<T>): T | undefined

Inherited from

Collection#max()

Discussion

The comparator is used in the same way as Collection#sort. If it is not provided, the default comparator is >.

When two values are considered equivalent, the first encountered will be returned. Otherwise, max will operate independent of the order of input as long as the comparator is commutative. The default comparator > is commutative only when types do not differ.

If comparator returns 0 and either value is NaN, undefined, or null, that value will be returned.

maxBy()

Like max, but also accepts a comparatorValueMapper which allows for comparing by more sophisticated means:

): T | undefined

Inherited from

Collection#maxBy()

Discussion

const { List, } = require('immutable'); const l = List([ { name: 'Bob', avgHit: 1 }, { name: 'Max', avgHit: 3 }, { name: 'Lili', avgHit: 2 } , ]); l.maxBy(i => i.avgHit); // will output { name: 'Max', avgHit: 3 }run it

min()

Returns the minimum value in this collection. If any values are comparatively equivalent, the first one found will be returned.

min(comparator?: Comparator<T>): T | undefined

Inherited from

Collection#min()

Discussion

The comparator is used in the same way as Collection#sort. If it is not provided, the default comparator is <.

When two values are considered equivalent, the first encountered will be returned. Otherwise, min will operate independent of the order of input as long as the comparator is commutative. The default comparator < is commutative only when types do not differ.

If comparator returns 0 and either value is NaN, undefined, or null, that value will be returned.

minBy()

Like min, but also accepts a comparatorValueMapper which allows for comparing by more sophisticated means:
