Useful

Contains:

  • lerp (linear interpolation), animation, bezier algorithm, clamp, clampAngle, clampRadian, color percent, ecliptic, decasteljau algorithm, decasteljau curves, easing, smooth scrolling, three dimensional curves.

Animate

Animate(action: (pct: number) => void , options?: { fps?: number, duration?: number, stop?: () => boolean, cb?: () => void });

*Not available for commonjs libraries.*
import {Animate, Easing} from 'ts-useful';
function scoot(elm: HTMLElement, x: number): void {
  const move = (pct: number) => {
    elm.style.left = `${x * Easing.linear(pct)}px`;
  }
  Animate(move, { fps: 60, duration: 3000 });
}

Bezier

Bezier(number[]) returns (percentage: number) => number;

import {Bezier} from 'ts-useful';
bezier = Bezier([0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0]);
bezier(.2);

Boids

Boids(options?: boidOptions);
Method: Update() => coordinates[];

import {Boids} from 'ts-useful';
const boids = new Boids({ boids: 2 });
or
const boids = new Boids({ boids: [{ position: {x: 10, y: 10}, speed: { x: 0, y: 0 }, acceleration: { x: 0, y: 0 } }] });

boids.Update();

Clamp, ClampAngle, ClampRadian

These functions will make sure a number stays between the min and max values.
Clamp(amount: number, min: number, max: number);
ClampAngle(amount: number, min: number, max: number);
ClampRadian(amount: number, min: number, max: number);

import {Clamp, ClampAngle, ClampRadian} from 'ts-useful';
Clamp(8000, 0, 10);
ClampAngle(45, 0, 90);
ClampRadian(2, 0, 3);

ColorPercent

ColorPercent.getColor(colorList: string[], percent: number);

import {ColorPercent} from 'ts-useful';
ColorPercent.getColor(['#FF00FF', '#889900', '#336699'], .45);

Curves

Curves(points: { x: number, y: number }[], percent: number)

import {Curves} from 'ts-useful';
const points = [
  { x: 10, y: 0 },
  { x: 30, y: 30 },
  { x: 45, y: 10 },
  { x: 20, y: 50 }
];
Curves(points, .4);

Decasteljau

Decasteljau(points: number[], percent: number)

import {Decasteljau} from 'ts-useful';
Decasteljau([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,10], .22);

Easing

Static easing functions.

import {Easing} from 'ts-useful';
const easing = Easing.linear;
easing(.03);
*or*
Easing.linear(.03);

Random is a little different. Easing.random() should be placed outside iterative code otherwise you'll get erratic results from a new easing on every iteration.

import {Easing} from 'ts-useful';
const easing = Easing.random();
easing(.03);

Easing types include: linear, sineIn, sineOut, sineInOut, quadIn, quadOut, quadInOut, cubicIn, cubicOut, cubicInOut, quartIn, quartOut, quartInOut, quintIn, quintOut, quintInOut, expoIn, expoOut, expoInOut, circIn, circOut, circInOut, backIn, backOut, backInOut, boomerang, elasticIn, elasticOut, elasticInOut, bounceIn, bounceOut, bounceInOut, and random.

Ecliptic

Class to allow placing items at coordinates based on an HTMLElement or coordinate { x: number, y: number }
This function uses transform for performance as it will not cause a repaint of the screen.
For best results give the parent HTMLElement this style - transform-origin: 50% 50%;
Give the child HTMLElements these styles - transform-origin: 50% 50%; top: 50%; left: 50%; position: absolute;

Ecliptic.Degree(origin: coordinates, target: coordinates);
Ecliptic.Radian(origin: coordinates, target: coordinates);

Ecliptic.EqualRadians(count: number);
Ecliptic.EqualDegrees(count: number);

Ecliptic.LocationByDegree(center: htmlCoordinate, radius: number, degree: number);
Ecliptic.LocationByRadian(center: htmlCoordinate, radius: number, radian: number);

Ecliptic.ToDegree(radian: number);
Ecliptic.ToRadian(degree: number);

Ecliptic.TransformCoordinates(elm: HTMLElement);

Ecliptic.Surround(item: coordinate, amount: number, options: surroundOptions);
Ecliptic.SurroundHTML(item: htmlCoordinate, withItems: HTMLElement[] | HTMLCollection, options: surroundOptions);

type coordinate = { x: number, y: number };
type htmlCoordinate = HTMLElement | coordinate;
type surroundOptions = { distance?: number, degree?: number, spacing?: number, amplitudeX?: number, amplitudeY?: number };

Example Use:

import {Ecliptic} from 'ts-useful';

const parent = document.getElementById('toSurround');
const kids = document.getElementsByClassName('childItems');
Ecliptic.SurroundHTML(parent, kids, { degree: 90, distance: 120 });
Ecliptic.LocationByDegree(parent, 100, 180);

GravityVector (depricated. Use PhysicsVector)

GravityVector(options: { position: coordinate, gravity: number, mass: number, distanceClamp: { min: number, max: number } });
Extends Vector class.
Methods
attract(target: GravityVector);
applyForce(force: GravityVector);
update();
Properties: velocity: Vector, acceleration: Vector;

const gv1 = new GravityVector();
const gv2 = new GravityVector({ position: { x: 50, y: 50 } });
const force = gv1.attract(gv2);
gv2.applyForce(f);
gv2.update();

Lerp

Lerp(start: number, end: number, percent: number)

import {Lerp} from 'ts-useful';
Lerp(-600, 600, .5);

MobiusIndex

MobiusIndex(length: number, index: number)
If index is negative, it will return the last item and beyond.
If index is greater than length, it will wrap to the first item and beyond.

import {MobiusIndex} from 'ts-useful';
MobiusIndex(3, 0); // Output: 0;
MobiusIndex(3, 1); // Output: 1;
MobiusIndex(3, 2); // Output: 2;
MobiusIndex(3, 3); // Output: 0;
MobiusIndex(3, 4); // Output: 1;
MobiusIndex(3, -1); // Output: 2;

  framesPerSecond?: number;
  duration?: number;
  easingFunc?: (t: number) => number;
  done?: () => void;
}

  up?: () => void;
  down?: () => void;
}

ThreeD

import {ThreeD} from 'ts-useful';
const locations = ThreeD([{ x: 0, y: 0, z: 0}, { x: 10, y: 10, z: 10}], .5);
