stdlib/lib/node_modules/@stdlib/utils/inmap at develop

Invoke a function for each element in a collection and update the collection in-place.

Usage

var inmap = require( '@stdlib/utils/inmap' );

inmap( collection, fcn[, thisArg ] )

Invokes a function for each element in a collection and updates the collection in-place.

function scale( value, index ) {
    return value * index;
}

var arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

var out = inmap( arr, scale );
// returns [ 0, 2, 6, 12 ]

var bool = ( out === arr );
// returns true

The invoked function is provided three arguments:

value: collection element.
index: collection index.
collection: input collection.

Basic support for dynamic collections is provided. Note, however, that index incrementation is monotonically increasing.

function scale1( value, index, collection ) {
    if ( index === collection.length-1 && collection.length < 10 ) {
        collection.push( index+2 );
    }
    return value * index;
}

var arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

var out = inmap( arr, scale1 );
// returns [ 0, 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, 42, 56, 72, 90 ]

function scale2( value, index, collection ) {
    collection.shift();
    return value * index;
}

arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

out = inmap( arr, scale2 );
// returns [ 3, 3 ]

To set the function execution context, provide a thisArg.

function sum( value ) {
    this.sum += value;
    this.count += 1;
    return value;
}

var arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

var context = {
    'sum': 0,
    'count': 0
};

var out = inmap( arr, sum, context );
// returns [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]

var mean = context.sum / context.count;
// returns 2.5

Notes

A collection may be either an Array, Typed Array, or an array-like Object (excluding strings and functions).
The function differs from Array.prototype.map in the following ways:
- The function returns the input collection.
- The function modifies collection elements in-place.
- The function does not skip undefined elements.
```
function log( value, index ) {
    console.log( '%s: %s', index, value );
    return value;
}

var arr = [ 1, , , 4 ];

var out = inmap( arr, log );
/* =>
    0: 1
    1: undefined
    2: undefined
    3: 4
*/
```
- The function provides limited support for dynamic collections (i.e., collections whose length changes during execution).

Examples

var isEven = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-even' ).isPrimitive;
var inmap = require( '@stdlib/utils/inmap' );

var bool;
var arr;
var out;
var i;

function scale( value, index, collection ) {
    if ( isEven( index ) ) {
        collection.shift();
    } else {
        collection.push( index+1 );
    }
    return value * index;
}

arr = new Array( 100 );
for ( i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ ) {
    arr[ i ] = i;
}
out = inmap( arr, scale );

bool = ( out === arr );
console.log( bool );

console.log( out );

Usage

inmap( collection, fcn[, thisArg ] )
