About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

forEach

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Invoke a function for each element in a collection.

Usage

import forEach from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/utils-for-each@esm/index.mjs';

forEach( collection, fcn[, thisArg ] )

Invokes a function for each element in a collection.

function log( value, index ) {
    console.log( '%s: %d', index, value );
}

var arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

forEach( arr, log );
/* =>
    0: 1
    1: 2
    2: 3
    3: 4
*/

The invoked function is provided three arguments:

  • value: collection element
  • index: collection index
  • collection: input collection

Basic support for dynamic collections is provided. Note, however, that index incrementation is monotonically increasing.

function log1( value, index, collection ) {
    console.log( '%s: %d', index, value );
    if ( index === collection.length-1 && collection.length < 10 ) {
        collection.push( index+2 );
    }
}

var arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

forEach( arr, log1 );
/* =>
    0: 1
    1: 2
    2: 3
    3: 4
    4: 5
    5: 6
    6: 7
    7: 8
    8: 9
    9: 10
*/

function log2( value, index, collection ) {
    console.log( '%s: %d', index, value );
    collection.shift();
}

arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

forEach( arr, log2 );
/* =>
    0: 1
    1: 3
*/

To set the function execution context, provide a thisArg.

function sum( value ) {
    this.sum += value;
    this.count += 1;
}

var arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

var context = {
    'sum': 0,
    'count': 0
};

forEach( arr, sum, context );

var mean = context.sum / context.count;
// returns 2.5

Notes

  • A collection may be either an Array, Typed Array, or an array-like Object (excluding strings and functions).

  • The function differs from Array.prototype.forEach in the following ways:

    • The function returns the input collection.

    • The function does not skip undefined elements.

      function log( value, index ) {
          console.log( '%s: %s', index, value );
      }
      
      var arr = [ 1, , , 4 ];
      
      forEach( arr, log );
      /* =>
          0: 1
          1: undefined
          2: undefined
          3: 4
      */
    • The function provides limited support for dynamic collections (i.e., collections whose length changes during execution).

Examples

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
<script type="module">

var isEven = require( 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/assert-is-even' ).isPrimitive;
import forEach from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/utils-for-each@esm/index.mjs';

function log( value, index, collection ) {
    console.log( '%s: %d', index, value );
    if ( isEven( index ) ) {
        collection.shift();
    } else {
        collection.push( index+1 );
    }
}

var arr;
var i;

arr = new Array( 100 );
for ( i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ ) {
    arr[ i ] = i;
}

forEach( arr, log );

</script>
