- # yallist
-
- Yet Another Linked List
-
- There are many doubly-linked list implementations like it, but this
- one is mine.
-
- For when an array would be too big, and a Map can't be iterated in
- reverse order.
-
-
- [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/isaacs/yallist.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/isaacs/yallist) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/isaacs/yallist/badge.svg?service=github)](https://coveralls.io/github/isaacs/yallist)
-
- ## basic usage
-
- ```javascript
- var yallist = require('yallist')
- var myList = yallist.create([1, 2, 3])
- myList.push('foo')
- myList.unshift('bar')
- // of course pop() and shift() are there, too
- console.log(myList.toArray()) // ['bar', 1, 2, 3, 'foo']
- myList.forEach(function (k) {
- // walk the list head to tail
- })
- myList.forEachReverse(function (k, index, list) {
- // walk the list tail to head
- })
- var myDoubledList = myList.map(function (k) {
- return k + k
- })
- // now myDoubledList contains ['barbar', 2, 4, 6, 'foofoo']
- // mapReverse is also a thing
- var myDoubledListReverse = myList.mapReverse(function (k) {
- return k + k
- }) // ['foofoo', 6, 4, 2, 'barbar']
-
- var reduced = myList.reduce(function (set, entry) {
- set += entry
- return set
- }, 'start')
- console.log(reduced) // 'startfoo123bar'
- ```
-
- ## api
-
- The whole API is considered "public".
-
- Functions with the same name as an Array method work more or less the
- same way.
-
- There's reverse versions of most things because that's the point.
-
- ### Yallist
-
- Default export, the class that holds and manages a list.
-
- Call it with either a forEach-able (like an array) or a set of
- arguments, to initialize the list.
-
- The Array-ish methods all act like you'd expect. No magic length,
- though, so if you change that it won't automatically prune or add
- empty spots.
-
- ### Yallist.create(..)
-
- Alias for Yallist function. Some people like factories.
-
- #### yallist.head
-
- The first node in the list
-
- #### yallist.tail
-
- The last node in the list
-
- #### yallist.length
-
- The number of nodes in the list. (Change this at your peril. It is
- not magic like Array length.)
-
- #### yallist.toArray()
-
- Convert the list to an array.
-
- #### yallist.forEach(fn, [thisp])
-
- Call a function on each item in the list.
-
- #### yallist.forEachReverse(fn, [thisp])
-
- Call a function on each item in the list, in reverse order.
-
- #### yallist.get(n)
-
- Get the data at position `n` in the list. If you use this a lot,
- probably better off just using an Array.
-
- #### yallist.getReverse(n)
-
- Get the data at position `n`, counting from the tail.
-
- #### yallist.map(fn, thisp)
-
- Create a new Yallist with the result of calling the function on each
- item.
-
- #### yallist.mapReverse(fn, thisp)
-
- Same as `map`, but in reverse.
-
- #### yallist.pop()
-
- Get the data from the list tail, and remove the tail from the list.
-
- #### yallist.push(item, ...)
-
- Insert one or more items to the tail of the list.
-
- #### yallist.reduce(fn, initialValue)
-
- Like Array.reduce.
-
- #### yallist.reduceReverse
-
- Like Array.reduce, but in reverse.
-
- #### yallist.reverse
-
- Reverse the list in place.
-
- #### yallist.shift()
-
- Get the data from the list head, and remove the head from the list.
-
- #### yallist.slice([from], [to])
-
- Just like Array.slice, but returns a new Yallist.
-
- #### yallist.sliceReverse([from], [to])
-
- Just like yallist.slice, but the result is returned in reverse.
-
- #### yallist.toArray()
-
- Create an array representation of the list.
-
- #### yallist.toArrayReverse()
-
- Create a reversed array representation of the list.
-
- #### yallist.unshift(item, ...)
-
- Insert one or more items to the head of the list.
-
- #### yallist.unshiftNode(node)
-
- Move a Node object to the front of the list. (That is, pull it out of
- wherever it lives, and make it the new head.)
-
- If the node belongs to a different list, then that list will remove it
- first.
-
- #### yallist.pushNode(node)
-
- Move a Node object to the end of the list. (That is, pull it out of
- wherever it lives, and make it the new tail.)
-
- If the node belongs to a list already, then that list will remove it
- first.
-
- #### yallist.removeNode(node)
-
- Remove a node from the list, preserving referential integrity of head
- and tail and other nodes.
-
- Will throw an error if you try to have a list remove a node that
- doesn't belong to it.
-
- ### Yallist.Node
-
- The class that holds the data and is actually the list.
-
- Call with `var n = new Node(value, previousNode, nextNode)`
-
- Note that if you do direct operations on Nodes themselves, it's very
- easy to get into weird states where the list is broken. Be careful :)
-
- #### node.next
-
- The next node in the list.
-
- #### node.prev
-
- The previous node in the list.
-
- #### node.value
-
- The data the node contains.
-
- #### node.list
-
- The list to which this node belongs. (Null if it does not belong to
- any list.)
