Roadmap

v0.11.x

• Features
  • option to fill up selected values that are outside the grid with undefined cells, so that result dimensions equal the requested dimensions (e.g. in getSubGrid(), crop(), ...)
  • rotate around an anchor point
  • search
    • findLast(grid, searchValue, walk): GridCell
    • lastPosition(grid, searchValue, walk): GridPosition
  • transformers
    • setCells({position, value}, {position, value}, ...) set multiple cells at once
    • setRows({y, row}, {y, row}, ...) set multiple cells at once
    • setColumns({x, column}, {x, column}, ...) set multiple cells at once
    • addColumnsLeft(columns)
    • addColumnsRight(columns)
    • addRowsLeft(rows)
    • addRowsRight(rows)
    • concat(otherGrid)
  • selectors
    • outline: selectOutline(subGrid)
    • edge: selectEdges() (like outline but inside the grid instead of outside)
    • corners: selectCorners()

v1.0.0

• QA
  • review code
  • double check docs for correctness
  • add tests for code examples
  • add snyk + vulnerabilities badge

Considered improvements

• Features
  • Sorting
  • transformers
    • reshape(newShape) sets a new shape, where the number of cells must remain the same
    • morph that is like reduce but must return a new valid grid, so that it's a valid grid-transformer
    • moveSubGrid(subGridArea, targetPosition)
  • walkers
    • provide walkers for createGrid
    • should be able to iterate just over a subset of cells
    • provide more walkers
  • performance
    • measure & improve
  • path module
    • path search algorithms
    • weighted paths
  • intersection of three or more areas
  • support typed arrays
  • infinite iterators (outside values/indexes are mapped to inside ones, e.g. x = columnCount -> x = 0, x = columnCount + 1 -> x = 1, ...)
  • pretty printed grid with toString() for debugging
  • get random cells: from the entire grid or a specific area
  • Look at Linear Algebra with JS
• CI/CD pipeline
  • consider using semantic-release
  • use github ci or travis or similar
  • build dist
  • tag commit
  • trigger update docs website
• Docs
  • add more badges
  • find out minimal nodejs version and set it in package.engines
  • encourage contribution (add badge)
  • add examples folder with real examples
• Tooling
  • create index.html that holds links to docs / stats / coverage
  • test bundles, see Run tests agains compiled bundles
  • add benchmark/performance tests to detect bottlenecks and inefficient algorithms
  • lint that tests import only from src/index.ts or src/types.ts
  • setup jsdelivr for umd bundle
• Spread the word
  • register at https://openbase.com/
