JavaScript Set() as it should be.
ECMAScript 6 sets have no methods for computing the union (∪), intersection (∩) or difference (⊖).
Zet is an extension of ES6 Set and comes with all its functionality included with extra set logic.
The API is similar to how sets work in Python.
Features
Additions to the default ECMAScript 6 set
- Union (∪)
- Intersection (∩)
- Difference/subtract (-)
- Symmetric difference (⊖)
- Subset (⊆)
- Superset (⊇)
- Map
- Filter
- Reduce
Additionally, this module is delivered as:
- ES Module:
dist/zet.mjs - CommonJS:
dist/zet.js - UMD:
dist/zet.umd.js
Install
$ npm install --save zet
Usage
import Zet from 'zet';
let a = new Zet([1, 2, 3]);
let b = new Zet([3, 4, 5]);
let c = new Zet([2, 3, 4]);
Zet.union(a, b);
//=> [Zet] {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
a.union(b, c);
//=> [Zet] {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
a.intersection(b);
//=> [Zet] {3}
a.symmetricDifference(c);
//=> [Zet] {1, 4}
a.subset(b);
//=> false
a.filter(i => i % 2);
//=> [Zet] {1, 3}API
Zet([iterable])
Returns:Zet
Returns the Zet instance.
Zet extends Set() and inherit all its functionality, like has(), size() etc.
Zet.union(...sets) ∪
Returns:zet
Static variadic function that return a new set with elements from all other sets.
sets

Test whether every element in setA is in setB.
setA
Type: Zet|Set
Set of type Zet or Set.
setB
Type: Zet|Set
Set of type Zet or Set.
map(set, func)
Returns: Zet|Set
Creates a set with the results of calling the provided function on every element.
set
Type: Zet|Set
Set of type Zet or Set.
func
Type: Function
Function that produces an element of the new set.
filter(set, func)
Returns: Zet|Set
Creates a set with all elements that pass the test implemented by the provided function.
set
Type: Zet|Set
It is the set going to be examined.
func
Type: Function
It is a predicate, to test each element of the set.
reduce(set, func, initializer)
Returns: Number
Reduces the set to a single value, by executing the provided function for each element in the set (from left-to-right).
set
Type: Zet|Set
Set of type Zet or Set.
func
Type: Function
Function to be executed for each element in the set.
initializer
Type: Number
Optional. A value to be passed to the function as the initial value.
