Fork of the Hamt (hash array mapped trie) library. This fork adds a few important features in exchange for very slightly degraded performance:

The Hamt+ Api is a superset of Hamt's Api. Hamt+ supports any key type using the custom hash and key comparision functions.

Install

Source code is in hamt.js and generated from lib/hamt.js. The library supports node, AMD, and use as a global.

Node

$ npm install hamt
var hamt = require('hamt_plus');

var h = hamt.empty.set('key', 'value');

...

AMD

requirejs.config({
    paths: {
        'hamt': 'path/to/hamt_plus/'
    }
});

require(['hamt'], function(hamt) {
    var h = hamt.empty.set('key', 'value');
    ...
});

Usage

Hamt+ provides a method chaining interface and free functions for updating and querying the map. Both APIs provide identical functionality, but the free functions are designed for binding and composition, while the method chaining API is more legible and more Javascripty.

HAMTs are is persistent, so operations always return a modified copy of the map instead of altering the original.

Custom Hash Values

Most update and lookup methods have two versions: one that takes a key and uses an internal hash function to compute its hash, and a version that takes a custom computed hash value.

var h = hamt.empty.set('key', 'value');
var h2 = hamt.empty.setHash(5, 'key', 'value');


h.get('key') === 'value'
h2.getHash(5, 'key') === 'value'

If using a custom hash, you must only use the *Hash variant of functions to interact with the map.

// Because the internally computed hash of `key` is not `5`, a direct
// look will not work.
h2.get('key') === undefined

// You must use `getHash` with the same hash value originally passed in.
h2.getHash(5, 'key') === 'value'

API

hamt.make(config)

Create a new, empty map.

const Vec2 = (x, y) => ({ x: x, y: y });

const vecMap = hamt.make({
    hash: (value) => hamt.hash(value.x + ',' + value.y),
    keyEq: (a, b) => a.x === b.x && a.y === b.y
});

vecMap = vecMap.set(Vec2(1, 2), 'value');

vecMap.get(Vec2(1, 2)) === 'value'

hamt.empty

An empty map.

Uses default key compare function and hash functions.


hamt.isEmpty(map)

map.isEmpty()

Is a map empty?

This is the correct method to check if a map is empty. Direct comparisons to hamt.empty will not work.


hamt.get(key, map)

map.get(key)

Lookup the value for key in map.

var h = hamt.empty.set('key', 'value');

h.get('key') === 'value'
hamt.get('key', k) === 'value'

h.get('no such key') === undefined

hamt.getHash(hash, key, map)

map.getHash(hash, key)

Same as get but uses a custom hash value.


hamt.tryGet(alt, key, map)

map.tryGet(alt, key)

Same as get but returns alt if no value for key exists.


hamt.has(key, map)

map.has(key)

Does an entry for key exist in map?

var h = hamt.empty.set('key', 'value');

h.has('key') === true
h.has('no such key') === false

hamt.tryGetHash(alt, hash, key, map)

map.tryGetHash(alt, hash, key)

Same as tryGet but uses a custom hash value.


hamt.set(key, value, map)

map.set(key, value)

Set the value for key in map.

Returns a new map with the value set. Does not alter the original.

var h = hamt.empty
    .set('key', 'value');
    .set('key2', 'value2');

var h2 = h.set('key3', 'value3');

h2.get('key') === 'value'
h2.get('key2') === 'value2'
h2.get('key3') === 'value3'

// original `h` was not modified
h.get('key') === 'value'
h.get('key2') === 'value2'
h.get('key3') === undefined

hamt.setHash(hash, key, value, map)

map.setHash(hash, key, value)

Same as set but uses a custom hash value.


hamt.modify(f, key, map)

map.modify(key, f)

Update the value stored for key in map.

Returns a new map with the modified value. Does not alter the original.

var h = hamt.empty
    .set('i', 2);

var h2 = h.modify('i', x => x * x);

h2.get('i') === 4
h.get('i') === 2
h2.count() === 1
h.count() === 1

// Operate on value that does not exist
var h3 = h.modify('new', x => {
    if (x === undefined) {
        return 10;
    }
    return -x;
});

h3.get('new') === 10
h3.count() === 2

hamt.modifyHash(f, hash, key, map)

map.modifyHash(hash, key, f)

Same as modify but uses a custom hash value.


hamt.remove(key, map)

map.remove(key)

map.delete(key)

Remove key from map.

Returns a new map with the value removed. Does not alter the original.

var h = hamt.empty
    .set('a', 1)
    .set('b', 2)
    .set('c', 3);

var h2 = h.remove('b');

h2.count() === 2;
h2.get('a') === 1
h2.get('b') === undefined
h2.get('c') === 3

hamt.removeHash(hash, key, map)

map.removeHash(hash, key)

map.deleteHash(hash, key)

Same as remove but uses a custom hash value.


hamt.count(map)

map.count()

map.size

Get number of elements in map.

hamt.empty.count() === 0;
hamt.empty.set('a', 3).count() === 1;
hamt.empty.set('a', 3).set('b', 3).count() === 2;

hamt.fold(f, z, map)

map.fold(f, z)

Fold over the map, accumulating result value.

Order is not guaranteed.

var max = hamt.fold.bind(null,
    (acc, value, key) => Math.max(acc, value),
    0);

max(hamt.empty.set('key', 3).set('key', 4)) === 4;

hamt.entries(map)

map.entries()

Get an Javascript iterator to all key value pairs in map.

Order is not guaranteed.

Array.from(hamt.empty.entries()) === [];
Array.from(hamt.empty.set('a', 3).entries()) === [['a', 3]];
Array.from(hamt.empty.set('a', 3).set('b', 3).entries()) === [['a', 3], ['b', 3]];

You can also iterated directly over a map with ES6:

const h = hamt.empty.set('a', 3).set('b', 3);

for (let [key, value] of h)
    ...

Array.from(h) === [['a', 3], ['b', 3]];

hamt.key(map)

map.keys()

Get an Javascript iterator to all keys in map.

Order is not guaranteed.

Array.from(hamt.empty.keys()) === [];
Array.from(hamt.empty.set('a', 3).keys()) === ['a'];
Array.from(hamt.empty.set('a', 3).set('b', 3).keys()) === ['a', 'b'];

hamt.values(map)

map.values()

Get an Javascript iterator to all values in map.

Order is not guaranteed. Duplicate entries may exist.

Array.from(hamt.empty.values()) === [];
Array.from(hamt.empty.set('a', 3).values()) === [3];
Array.from(hamt.empty.set('a', 3).values('b', 3).values()) === [3, 3];

hamt.forEach(f, map)

map.forEach(f)

Invoke function f for each value in the map.

Order is not guaranteed.


hamt.beginMutation(map)

map.beginMutation()

Start the mutation of map. The number of calls to beginMutation is counted, but mutation itself is binary: the map is either mutable or immutable. Mutation cannot leak before the first call to beginMutation or after the matching call to endMutation.


hamt.endMutation(map)

map.endMutation()

End the mutation of map.


hamt.mutate(f, map)

map.mutate(f)

Mutate map within the context of function f.

const insert = ['a', 'b', 'c'];

const h = hamt.mutate(h =>
    // any operations within this block may mutate `h` internally.
    insert.forEach((x, i) => {
        h.set(x, i);
    }),
    hamt.empty);

h.count() === 3;
h.get('b') === 2;

Development

Any contributions to Hamt+ are welcome. Feel free to open an issues if you run into problems or have a suggested improvement.

To develop Hamt, fork the repo and install the development node packages:

cd hamt_plus
$ npm install

The source is written in ES6 and lives in lib/hamt.js. Gulp and Bable are used to translate the ES6 code to an ES5 distribution found in hamt.js. To start the compiler:

$ gulp default

Tests are written in Mocha and found in tests/*. To run the tests:

$ mocha tests
