Collection.Keyed

Keyed Collections have discrete keys tied to each value.

type Collection.Keyed<K, V> extends Collection<K, V>

Discussion

When iterating Collection.Keyed, each iteration will yield a [K, V] tuple, in other words, Collection#entries is the default iterator for Keyed Collections.

Construction

Collection.Keyed()

Collection.Keyed<K, V>(collection?: Iterable<[K, V]>): Collection.Keyed<K, V> Collection.Keyed<V>(obj: {[key: string]: V}): Collection.Keyed<string, V>

toKeyedSeq()

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

toKeyedSeq(): Seq.Keyed<K, V>

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

concat<KC, VC>(
...collections: Array<Iterable<[KC, VC]>>
): Collection.Keyed<K | KC, V | VC>
concat<C>(
...collections: Array<{[key: string]: C}>
): Collection.Keyed<K | string, V | C>

Overrides

Collection#concat()

map()

Returns a new Collection.Keyed with values passed through a mapper function.

map<M>(
mapper: (value: V, key: K, iter: this) => M,
context?: unknown
): Collection.Keyed<K, M>

Overrides

Collection#map()

Example

const { Collection } = require('immutable') Collection.Keyed({ a: 1, b: 2 }).map(x => 10 * x) // Seq { "a": 10, "b": 20 }

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

mapKeys()

Returns a new Collection.Keyed of the same type with keys passed through a mapper function.

mapKeys<M>(
mapper: (key: K, value: V, iter: this) => M,
context?: unknown
): Collection.Keyed<M, V>

Discussion

const { Map } = require('immutable') Map({ a: 1, b: 2 }).mapKeys(x => x.toUpperCase()) // Map { "A": 1, "B": 2 }run it

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

mapEntries()

Returns a new Collection.Keyed of the same type with entries ([key, value] tuples) passed through a mapper function.

mapEntries<KM, VM>(
mapper: (entry: [K, V], index: number, iter: this) => [KM, VM] | undefined,
context?: unknown
): Collection.Keyed<KM, VM>

Discussion

const { Map } = require('immutable') Map({ a: 1, b: 2 }) .mapEntries(([ k, v ]) => [ k.toUpperCase(), v * 2 ]) // Map { "A": 2, "B": 4 }run it

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

If the mapper function returns undefined, then the entry will be filtered

flatMap()

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

flatMap<KM, VM>(
mapper: (value: V, key: K, iter: this) => Iterable<[KM, VM]>,
context?: unknown
): Collection.Keyed<KM, VM>

Overrides

Collection#flatMap()

Discussion

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

filter()

filter<F>(
predicate: (value: V, key: K, iter: this) => boolean,
context?: unknown
): Collection.Keyed<K, F>
filter(
predicate: (value: V, key: K, iter: this) => unknown,
context?: unknown
): this

Overrides

Collection#filter()

predicate: (this: C, value: V, key: K, iter: this) => unknown,
context?: C
): [this, this]

Overrides

Collection#partition()

[Symbol.iterator]()

[Symbol.iterator](): IterableIterator<[K, V]>

Overrides

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: K, notSetValue: NSV): V | NSV get(key: K): V | undefined

Inherited from

Collection#get()

has()

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

has(key: K): boolean

Inherited from

Collection#has()

includes()

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

includes(value: V): boolean

Inherited from

alias

contains()

first()

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<K, V>

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<K, V>

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<V>

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<V>

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<V>

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<V>

Inherited from

Collection#toStack()

Discussion

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

Iterators

keys()

An iterator of this Collection's keys.

keys(): IterableIterator<K>

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<V>

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<[K, V]>

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.

Collections (Seq)

keySeq()

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

keySeq(): Seq.Indexed<K>

Inherited from

Collection#keySeq()

valueSeq()

Inherited from

Collection#valueSeq()

Sequence algorithms

filterNot()

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

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

Inherited from

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<V>): 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: V, key: K, 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: V, key: K, 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

Side effects

forEach()

The sideEffect is executed for every entry in the Collection.

forEach(
sideEffect: (value: V, key: K, 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()

butLast()

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

predicate: (value: V, key: K, iter: this) => boolean,
context?: unknown
): this

Inherited from

Collection#skipWhile()

join(separator?: string): string

Inherited from

Collection#join()

max()

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

max(comparator?: Comparator<V>): V | 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:
