About stdlib...
We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
Group values according to an indicator function and return group counts.
npm install @stdlib/utils-async-count-by
Alternatively,
- To load the package in a website via a
script
tag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on theesm
branch (see README). - If you are using Deno, visit the
deno
branch (see README for usage intructions). - For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the
umd
branch (see README).
The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.
To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.
var countByAsync = require( '@stdlib/utils-async-count-by' );
Groups values according to an indicator
function, which specifies which group an element in the input collection
belongs to, and returns group counts.
function indicator( value, next ) {
setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
function onTimeout() {
console.log( value );
next( null, (value > 2000) );
}
}
function done( error, result ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
console.log( result );
}
var arr = [ 3000, 2500, 1000 ];
countByAsync( arr, indicator, done );
/* =>
1000
2500
3000
{ 'true': 2, 'false': 1 }
*/
The function accepts the following options
:
limit
: the maximum number of pending invocations at any one time. Default:infinity
.series
:boolean
indicating whether to sequentially invoke theindicator
function for eachcollection
element. Iftrue
, the function setsoptions.limit=1
. Default:false
.thisArg
: the execution context forindicator
.
By default, all elements are processed concurrently, which means that the function does not guarantee completion order. To process each collection
element sequentially, set the series
option to true
.
function indicator( value, next ) {
setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
function onTimeout() {
console.log( value );
next( null, (value > 2000) );
}
}
function done( error, result ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
console.log( result );
}
var arr = [ 3000, 2500, 1000 ];
var opts = {
'series': true
};
countByAsync( arr, opts, indicator, done );
/* =>
3000
2500
1000
{ 'true': 2, 'false': 1 }
*/
To limit the maximum number of pending function invocations, set the limit
option.
function indicator( value, next ) {
setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
function onTimeout() {
console.log( value );
next( null, (value > 2000) );
}
}
function done( error, result ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
console.log( result );
}
var arr = [ 3000, 2500, 1000 ];
var opts = {
'limit': 2
};
countByAsync( arr, opts, indicator, done );
/* =>
2500
3000
1000
{ 'true': 2, 'false': 1 }
*/
To set the execution context of the indicator
function, set the thisArg
option.
function indicator( value, next ) {
this.count += 1;
setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
function onTimeout() {
next( null, (value > 2000) );
}
}
var arr = [ 3000, 2500, 1000 ];
var context = {
'count': 0
};
var opts = {
'thisArg': context
};
countByAsync( arr, opts, indicator, done );
function done( error, result ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
console.log( result );
// => { 'true': 2, 'false': 1 }
console.log( context.count );
// => 3
}
When invoked, the indicator
function is provided a maximum of four arguments:
value
: collection value.index
: collection index.collection
: the inputcollection
.next
: a callback which should be called once theindicator
function has finished processing a collectionvalue
.
The actual number of provided arguments depends on function length
. If the indicator
function accepts two arguments, the indicator
function is provided value
and next
. If the indicator
function accepts three arguments, the indicator
function is provided value
, index
, and next
. For every other indicator
function signature, the indicator
function is provided all four arguments.
function indicator( value, i, collection, next ) {
console.log( 'collection: %s. %d: %d', collection.join( ',' ), i, value );
setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
function onTimeout() {
console.log( value );
next( null, (value > 2000) );
}
}
function done( error, result ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
console.log( result );
}
var arr = [ 3000, 2500, 1000 ];
countByAsync( arr, indicator, done );
/* =>
collection: 3000,2500,1000. 0: 3000
collection: 3000,2500,1000. 1: 2500
collection: 3000,2500,1000. 2: 1000
1000
2500
3000
{ 'true': 2, 'false': 1 }
*/
Returns a function
which invokes an indicator
function once for each element in a collection
and returns group counts.
function indicator( value, next ) {
setTimeout( onTimeout, value );
function onTimeout() {
console.log( value );
next( null, (value > 2000) );
}
}
function done( error, result ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
console.log( result );
}
var f = countByAsync.factory( indicator );
var arr1 = [ 3000, 2500, 1000 ];
f( arr1, done );
/* =>
1000
2500
3000
{ 'true': 2, 'false': 1 }
*/
var arr2 = [ 300, 250, 100 ];
f( arr2, done );
/* =>
100
250
300
{ 'false': 3 }
*/
The function accepts the same options
as countByAsync()
.
-
A
collection
may be either anArray
,Typed Array
, or an array-likeObject
(excludingstrings
andfunctions
). -
If a provided function calls the
next
callback with a truthyerror
argument, the function suspends execution and immediately calls thedone
callback for subsequenterror
handling. -
The function does not support dynamic
collection
resizing. -
The function does not skip
undefined
elements. -
If provided an empty
collection
, the function calls thedone
callback with an emptyobject
for the group results. -
Neither
countByAsync
nor the function returned by thefactory
method guarantee asynchronous execution. To guarantee asynchrony, wrap thedone
callback in a function which either executes at the end of the current stack (e.g.,nextTick
) or during a subsequent turn of the event loop (e.g.,setImmediate
,setTimeout
). -
The
group
returned by anindicator
function should be a value which can be serialized as anobject
key. As a counterexample,function indicator( value, next ) { setTimeout( onTimeout, value ); function onTimeout() { console.log( value ); next( null, {} ); } } function done( error, result ) { if ( error ) { throw error; } console.log( result ); } var arr = [ 3000, 2500, 1000 ]; countByAsync( arr, indicator, done ); /* => 1000 2500 3000 { '[object Object]': 3 } */
while each group identifier is unique, all collection elements resolve to the same group because each group identifier serializes to the same
string
.
var resolve = require( 'path' ).resolve;
var readFile = require( '@stdlib/fs-read-file' );
var countByAsync = require( '@stdlib/utils-async-count-by' );
var files = [
resolve( __dirname, 'package.json' ),
resolve( __dirname, 'README.md' ),
resolve( __dirname, 'beep.boop.md' )
];
function done( error, result ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
console.log( result );
}
function indicator( file, next ) {
var opts = {
'encoding': 'utf8'
};
readFile( file, opts, onFile );
function onFile( error ) {
if ( error ) {
return next( null, 'nonreadable' );
}
next( null, 'readable' );
}
}
countByAsync( files, indicator, done );
