A double-ended priority queue based on min-max heaps.
npm install priority-deque{ PriorityDeque }.
new PriorityDeque(opts?: { compare?: (a: T, b: T) => number, limit?: number, items?: Iterable }) Constructs a new PriorityDeque. By default, there are no size limits, numbers will be compared numerically, and all other objects will be compared by converting to strings and calling String.localeCompare(). If a finite non-negative limit is provided, the deque will automatically prune maximal elements to keep the total size of the structure less than or equal to limit.
clone(): PriorityDeque Creates a shallow copy of the deque with the same size limits and comparison function in O(n) time.
set(elements: Iterable) Replaces the contents of the deque with the smallest members, up to the size limit, of a new element set.
append(elements: T[]) Adds new elements to the deque.
clear() Empties the deque.
[Symbol.iterator](): IterableIterator Returns an iterator over all of the currently-stored values in the deque, suitable for use with for(... of ...) loops. No particular iteration order is guaranteed.
readonly length: number Indicates how many total items are currently stored in the deque.
push(...elements: T[]) Adds new elements to the deque.
pop(): T | undefined Removes and returns the minimum element from the deque, or undefined if length is zero.
shift(): T | undefined Removes and returns the maximum element from the deque, or undefined if lengt is zero.
unshift(...elements: T[]) Synonym for push().
map(fn: (e: T) => U, compare?: (a: U, b: U) => number): PriorityDeque Creates a new PriorityDeque with the same limits as the current one by applying a mapping function to each element of the current deque. If an explicit comparison function is not provided for the new deque, the default numeric / string comparator will be used.
filter(fn: (e: T) => boolean): PriorityDeque Creates a new PriorityDeque with the same limits and comparison function as the current one but containing only a subset of the current deque's elements which satisfy the provided filtering predicate.
collect(fn: (e: T) => Iterable, compare?: (a: U, b: U) => number): PriorityDeque Creates a new PriorityDeque with the same limits as the current one by applying a collection function return 0 or more mapped elements to each element of the current deque. This is more efficient than calling filter() and map() in sequence. If an explicit comparison function is not provided for the new deque, the default numeric / string comparator will be used.
contains(e: T): boolean Determines whether or not the deque contains a specific element, via === comparison.
some(fn: (e: T) => boolean): boolean Determines whether or not any element of the deque satisfies the given predicate.
every(fn: (e: T) => boolean): boolean Determines whether or not all elements of the deque satisfy the given predicate.
find(fn: (e: T) => boolean): T | undefined Returns an element of the deque which satisfies the given predicate, or undefined if there is no such element.
forEach(fn: (e: T) => void) Executes the given callback function once for each element of the deque; no specific ordering is guaranteed.
findMin(): T | undefined Returns the minimum element of the deque, or undefined if length is zero.
findMax(): T | undefined Returns the maximum element of the deque, or undefined if length is zero.
replaceMin(e: T): T | undefined Removes and returns the minimum element of the deque, or undefined if length is zero, and inserts the new element e. This is more efficient than calling pop() and push(e) separately.
replaceMax(e: T): T | undefined Removes and returns the maximum element of the deque, or undefined if length is zero, and inserts the new element e. This is more efficient than calling shift() and push(e) separately.
remove(e: T): boolean Removes the element e from the deque and returns true if e is in the deque; returns false otherwise.
replace(a: T, b: T): boolean Removes the element a from the deque, inserts the element b, and returns true if a is in the deque. If a is not in the deque, b is not inserted, and false is returned. This is more efficient than calling remove(a) and push(b) separately.
