NAME

Data::LnArray - The great new Data::LnArray!

VERSION

Version 0.04

SYNOPSIS

        use Data::LnArray;

        my $foo = Data::LnArray->new(qw/last night in paradise/);
        

        $foo->push('!');

        ...

        use Data::LnArray qw/all/;

        my $okay = arr(qw/one two three/);

Exports

arr

Shorthand for generating a new Data::LnArray Object.

        my $dlna = arr(qw/.../);

        $dlna->$method;

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

get

Returns the value of the passed index

        $foo->get(0);

set

Sets the value of the passed index.

        $foo->set(0, 'patience');

length

Returns an Integer that represents the length of the array.

        $foo->length;

from

Creates a new Data::LnArray instance from a string, array reference or hash reference.

        Data::LnArray->from(qw/foo/); # ['f', 'o', 'o']
        
        $foo->from([qw/one two three four/]); # ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four']
        
        $foo->from([qw/1 2 3/], sub { $_ + $_ }); # [2, 4, 6]

        $foo->from({length => 5}, sub { $_ + $_ }); # [0, 2, 4, 6, 8]

isArray

Returns a boolean, true if value is an array or false otherwise.

        $foo->isArray($other); 

of

Creates a new Array instance with a variable number of arguments, regardless of number or type of the arguments.

        my $new = $array->of(qw/one two three four/);

copyWithin

Copies a sequence of array elements within the array.

        my $foo = Data::LnArray->new(qw/one two three four/);
        my $bar = $foo->copyWithin(0, 2, 3); # [qw/three four three four/];

        ...

        my $foo = Data::LnArray->new(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
        my $bar = $array->copyWithin(-2, -3, -1); # [1, 2, 3, 3, 4]

fill

Fills all the elements of an array from a start index to an end index with a static value.

        my $foo = Data::LnArray->new(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
        $foo->fill(0, 2) # 0, 0, 0, 4, 5

pop

Removes the last element from an array and returns that element.

        $foo->pop;

push

Adds one or more elements to the end of an array, and returns the new length of the array.

        $foo->push(@new);

reverse

Reverses the order of the elements of an array in place. (First becomes the last, last becomes first.)

        $foo->reverse;

shift

Removes the first element from an array and returns that element.

        $foo->shift;

sort

Sorts the elements of an array in place and returns the array.

        $foo->sort(sub {
                $a <=> $b
        });

splice

Adds and/or removes elements from an array.

        $foo->splice(0, 1, 'foo');

unshift

Adds one or more elements to the front of an array, and returns the new length of the array.

        $foo->unshift;

concat

Returns a new array that is this array joined with other array(s) and/or value(s).

        $foo->concat($bar);

filter

Returns a new array containing all elements of the calling array for which the provided filtering callback returns true.

        $foo->filter(sub {
                $_ eq 'one'
        });

includes

Determines whether the array contains the value to find, returning true or false as appropriate.

        $foo->includes('one');

indexOf

Returns the first (least) index of an element within the array equal to search string, or -1 if none is found.

        $foo->indexOf('one');   

join

Joins all elements of an array into a string.

        $foo->join('|');

lastIndexOf

Returns the last (greatest) index of an element within the array equal to search string, or -1 if none is found.

        $foo->lastIndexOf('two');

slice

Extracts a section of the calling array and returns a new array.

        $foo->slice(0, 2);

toString

Returns a string representing the array and its elements.

        $foo->toString;

toLocaleString

Returns a localized string representing the array and its elements. Overrides the Object.prototype.toLocaleString() method.

        TODO

entries()

Returns a new Array Iterator object that contains the key/value pairs for each index in the array.

        $foo->entries;
        # {
        #       0 => 'one',
        #       1 => 'two'

map

Returns a new array containing the results of calling the callback on every element in this array.

        my %hash = $foo->map(sub { ... });

some

Returns true if at least one element in this array satisfies the provided testing callback.

        my $bool = $foo->some(sub { ... });
