array

Types

A JavaScript array, in Gleam!

Unlike most data structures in Gleam this one is mutable.

pub type Array(element)

</>

pub fn fold(over over: Array(a), from from: b, with with: fn(b, a) ->
    b) -> b

Reduces a list of elements into a single value by calling a given function on each element, going from left to right.

fold(from_list([1, 2, 3]), 0, add) is the equivalent of add(add(add(0, 1), 2), 3).

Runs in linear time.

</>

pub fn fold_right(over over: Array(a), from from: b, with with: fn(
    b,
    a,
  ) -> b) -> b

Reduces a list of elements into a single value by calling a given function on each element, going from right to left.

fold_right(from_list([1, 2, 3]), 0, add) is the equivalent of add(add(add(0, 3), 2), 1).

Runs in linear time.

</>

pub fn from_list(a: List(a)) -> Array(a)

Convert a Gleam list to a JavaScript array.

Runs in linear time.

</>

pub fn get(a: Array(a), b: Int) -> Result(a, Nil)

Get the element at the given index.

> get(from_list([2, 4, 6]), 1)
Ok(4)

> get(from_list([2, 4, 6]), 4)
Error(Nil)

</>

pub fn map(a: Array(a), with with: fn(a) -> b) -> Array(b)

Returns a new array containing only the elements of the first array after the function has been applied to each one.

Runs in linear time.

> map(from_list([2, 4, 6]), fn(x) { x * 2 })
from_list([4, 8, 12])

</>

pub fn size(a: Array(a)) -> Int

Get the number of elements in the array.

Runs in constant time.

</>

pub fn to_list(a: Array(a)) -> List(a)

Convert a JavaScript array to a Gleam list.

Runs in linear time.
