Extension of TypeScript-STL Containers dispatching Events.

TSTL is an open-source project providing features of STL, migrated from C++ to TypeScript. You can enjoy the STL's own specific containers, algorithms and functors in the JavaScript. If TypeScript, you also can take advantage of type restrictions and generic programming with the TypeScript.

ECOL is an extension module of such TSTL, providing special collections dispatching events. The special collections are almost similar with the original STL Containers, but you also can observe elements' I/O events with the special collections. Types of the event dispatched by the special collections are "insert", "erase" and "refresh".

Features

Linear Collections

  • ArrayCollection
  • DequeCollection
  • ListCollection

Set Containers

  • Tree-based Collections
    • TreeSetCollection
    • TreeMultiSetCollection
  • Hash-buckets based Collections
    • HashSetCollection
    • HashMultiSetCollection

Map Collections

  • Tree-based Collections
    • TreeMapCollection
    • TreeMultiMapCollection
  • Hash-buckets based Collections
    • HashMapCollection
    • HashMultiMapCollection

Installation

NPM Module

Installing ECOL in NodeJS is very easy. Just install with the npm.

# Install TSTL from the NPM module
npm install --save ecol

Usage

import {TreeMapCollection} from "ecol";

function listener(event: TreeMapCollection.Event<number, string>): void
{
    console.log("Event type is: " + event.type);

    for (let it = event.first; !it.equals(event.last); it = it.next())
        console.log("\t", "An element by that event:", it.value);
}

function main(): void
{
    // CONSTRUCT EVENT TREE-MAP
    let map: TreeMapCollection<number, string> = new TreeMapCollection();
    map.addEventListener("insert", listener);
    map.addEventListener("erase", listener);

    // DISPATCHES INSERT EVENT
    map.set(1, "One");
    map.set(2, "Two");
    map.set(3, "Three");

    // DISPATCHES ERASE EVENT
    map.erase(2);
    map.erase(3);

    // DISPATCHES REFRESH EVENT
    map.set(2, "Second"); // AUTOMATIC
    map.refresh(); // BY USER
}
main();
