Frozen arrays utilities

Typescript functions to manipulate frozen arrays.

All functions leave the original Array untouched, and return a new frozen Array with the modification.

Install:

npm install @wildpeaks/frozen

Function: arrayPush

Appends a single element at the end of an Array.

Usage:

function arrayPush<T>(frozenArray: ReadonlyArray<T>, newValue: T): ReadonlyArray<T>

Example:

import {arrayPush} from '@wildpeaks/frozen';

type MyArray = ReadonlyArray<string | number>;
const srcArray: MyArray = Object.freeze(['zero', 111, 'TWO']);
const newArray: MyArray = arrayPush(srcArray, 333);

// Result:
//  srcArray  ['zero', 111, 'TWO']
//  newArray  ['zero', 111, 'TWO', 333]

---

arrayRemove

Removes a single element, by index.

Usage:

function arrayRemove<T>(frozenArray: ReadonlyArray<T>, index: number): ReadonlyArray<T>

Example:

import {arrayRemove} from '@wildpeaks/frozen';

type MyArray = ReadonlyArray<string | number>;
const srcArray: MyArray = Object.freeze(['zero', 111, 'TWO']);
const newArray: MyArray = arrayRemove(srcArray, 0);

// Result:
//   srcArray  ['zero', 111, 'TWO']
//   newArray    [111, 'TWO']

---

arrayUniquePush

Appends a single element at the end of an Array like arrayPush, but only if the array doesn't already contain the value. The Array is expected to contain only unique values.

Usage:

function arrayUniquePush<T>(frozenArray: ReadonlyArray<T>, newValue: T): ReadonlyArray<T>

Example (the Array doesn't contain the value):

import {arrayUniquePush} from '@wildpeaks/frozen';

type MyArray = ReadonlyArray<string | number>;
const srcArray: MyArray = Object.freeze(['zero', 111, 'TWO']);
const newArray: MyArray = arrayUniquePush(srcArray, 333);

// Result:
//   srcArray  ['zero', 111, 'TWO']
//   newArray    ['zero', 111, 'TWO', 333]

Example (the Array already contains the value):

import {arrayUniquePush} from '@wildpeaks/frozen';

type MyArray = ReadonlyArray<string | number>;
const srcArray: MyArray = Object.freeze(['zero', 111, 'TWO']);
const newArray: MyArray = arrayUniquePush(srcArray, 111);

// Result:
//   srcArray  ['zero', 111, 'TWO']
//   newArray  ['zero', 111, 'TWO']

---

arrayUniqueRemove

Removes a single element from an Array, by value (whereas arrayRemove removes by index). The Array is expected to contain only unique values.

Usage:

function arrayUniqueRemove<T>(frozenArray: ReadonlyArray<T>, value: T): ReadonlyArray<T>

Example:

import {arrayUniqueRemove} from '@wildpeaks/frozen';

type MyArray = ReadonlyArray<string | number>;
const srcArray: MyArray = Object.freeze(['zero', 111, 'TWO']);
const newArray: MyArray = arrayUniqueRemove(srcArray, 111);

// Result:
//   srcArray  ['zero', 111, 'TWO']
//   newArray  ['zero', 'TWO']
