Define and work with number (integer) ranges easily. Instead of requiring the full ranges in memory it allows for easy checks on containment, size and can turn ranges (or collections of ranges) into short string notations.
Range is a scoped package, the scope needs to be provided for both the installation and usage
$ npm install --save @konfirm/range
The range package consists of two exported classes; Range
and RangeCollection
. A Range
is created with zero or more numeric arguments, from which the minimum and maximum values are used to determine the full range. A RangeCollection
is a wrapper for multiple Range
instances providing the same API as Range
so it can be used in the same places.
import { Range, RangeCollection } from '@konfirm/range';
const small = new Range(0, 100);
const large = new Range(10000, 99999);
const combi = new RangeCollection(small, large);
small.contains(50); // true
large.contains(50); // false
combi.contains(50); // true
small.contains(500); // false
large.contains(500); // false
combi.contains(500); // false
small.contains(12345); // false
large.contains(12345); // true
combi.contains(12345); // true
NOTE While the examples use the import
syntax, the require
syntax has remained unchanged as the Range package is also published as CJS (CommonJS) package. Simply replace import { ... } from '@konfirm/range';
to const { ... } = require('@konfirm/range');
.
A Range is the full sequence of integer values between the given minimum and maximum.
As Infinity
is a recognized valid value (despite it not being an integer number) and it is not well represented in the JSON format, it will always be represented by the string 'INF'
. This is true for all of the string(able) formatters (toString
, toHex
and toJSON
) as well as the Range creator methods (fromString
, fromHex
and fromJSON
).
Construct new Range instances by providing zero or more numeric values, the values will be processed using parseInt(<value>, 10)
(ensuring decimal integers) and will contain every integer value from the minimum value up to and including the maximum value.
import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(0, 10);
range.contains(0); // true
range.contains(10); // true
range.contains(11); // false
If more than two values are provided, Range will use only the lowest and highest values, ignoring everything in between.
import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(0, 2, 3, 7, 8, 10);
range.contains(0); // true
range.contains(10); // true
range.contains(11); // false
If a single value is provided, the full range consists of that value
import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(10);
range.contains(9); // false
range.contains(10); // true
range.contains(11); // false
If no values are provided, the Range will be from -Infinity
to Infinity
, basically containing every possible integer value. Be very careful not to use an iterator on it, as that will try to generate an infite number of values, which means a never ending loop.
import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range();
range.contains(-Infinity); // true
range.contains(Infinity); // true
A Range has various properties indication the min
, max
values and the size
.
property | type | description |
---|---|---|
min |
Number (integer) | the lowest value (lower limit) of the Range |
max |
Number (integer) | the highest value (upper limit) of the Range |
size |
Number (integer) | the number of values represented by the Range |
import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(100, 199);
range.min; // 100
range.max; // 199
range.size; // 100
Verify whether one or more values are within the Range min and max values (inclusive).
argument | type | default | description |
---|---|---|---|
...values |
Number |
Zero or more number values to verify the containment in the Range |
import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(100, 199);
range.contains(100); // true
range.contains(150); // true
range.contains(200); // false
range.contains(100, 150); // true
range.contains(100, 200); // false
Casts a Range instance into its string representation. The separator can be specified, the default is '..'
(double full-stop).
argument | type | default | description |
---|---|---|---|
separator |
String |
'..' |
The separator between the Ranges' min and max values |
import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(100, 199);
range.toString(); // '100..199'
String(range); // '100..199'
'range:' + range; // 'range:100..199'
`range:${range}`; // 'range:100..199'
Or with a different separator (note that specifying arguments only works when called manually)
import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(100, 199);
range.toString('/'); // '100/199'
Like toString, but using a hexadecimal representation for the numbers. Optinally the length of the hexadecimal number and the separator can be specified.
argument | type | default | description |
---|---|---|---|
length |
Number |
0 |
The minimum hexadecimal string length |
separator |
String |
'..' |
The separator between the Ranges' min and max values |
Specifying the length of the hexadecimal representation does not take the minus (-
) into consideration, nor does it pad the INF
symbol which represents Infinity
.
import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(100, 199);
range.toHex(); // '64..c7'
Or with a different length
import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(100, 199);
range.toHex(4); // '0064..00c7'
range.toHex(7); // '0000064..00000c7'
Or with a different separator
import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(100, 199);
range.toHex(0, '/'); // '64/c7'
range.toHex(4, '/'); // '0064/00c7'
range.toHex(7, '/'); // '00000064/00000c7'
Represent the Range in a JSON-able format.
import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(100, 199);
range.toJSON(); // {min:100,max:199}
JSON.stringify(range); // '{"min":100,"max":199}'
If the Range consists of a single value, only min
will be specified
import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(100);
range.toJSON(); // {min:100}
JSON.stringify(range); // '{"min":100}'
Range implements the Symbol.iterator
method as generator, allowing it to be used in a for..of
loop and for Array destructing
import { Range } from '@konfirm/range';
const range = new Range(0, 5);
for (const value of range) {
console.log(value);
}
// expected output: 0
// expected output: 1
// expected output: 2
// expected output: 3
// expected output: 4
// expected output: 5
const array = [...range]; // [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
