rope-sequence

This module implements a single data type, RopeSequence, which is a persistent sequence type implemented as a loosely-balanced rope. It supports appending, prepending, and slicing without doing a full copy. Random access is somewhat more expensive than in an array (logarithmic, with some overhead), but should still be relatively fast.

class `RopeSequence<T>`

staticfrom(?union<[T], RopeSequence<T>>) → RopeSequence<T>

Create a rope representing the given array, or return the rope itself if a rope was given.

staticempty: RopeSequence<T>

The empty rope.

length: number

The length of the rope.

append(union<[T], RopeSequence<T>>) → RopeSequence<T>

Append an array or other rope to this one, returning a new rope.

prepend(union<[T], RopeSequence<T>>) → RopeSequence<T>

Prepend an array or other rope to this one, returning a new rope.

slice(from: ?number = 0, to: ?number = this.length) → RopeSequence<T>

Create a rope repesenting a sub-sequence of this rope.

get(index: number) → T

Retrieve the element at the given position from this rope.

forEach(f: fn(element: T, index: number) → ?bool, from: ?number, to: ?number)

Call the given function for each element between the given indices. This tends to be more efficient than looping over the indices and calling get, because it doesn't have to descend the tree for every element.

to may be less then from, in which case the iteration will happen in reverse (starting at index from - 1, down to index to.

The iteration function may return false to abort iteration early.

map(f: fn(element: T, index: number) → U, from: ?number, to: ?number) → [U]

Map the given functions over the elements of the rope, producing a flat array.

flatten() → [T]

Return the content of this rope as an array.
