About

Collection of ~170 lightweight, composable transducers, reducers, generators, iterators for functional data transformations.

This library provides altogether ~170 transducers, reducers, sequence generators (ES6 generators/iterators) and additional supporting functions for composing data transformation pipelines.

The overall concept and many of the core functions offered here are directly inspired by the original Clojure implementation by Rich Hickey, though the implementation does heavily differ (also in contrast to some other JS based implementations) and dozens of less common, but generally highly useful operators have been added. See full list below.

Furthermore, most transducers & reducers provided here accept an optional input iterable, which allows them to be used directly as transformers instead of having to wrap them in one of the execution functions (i.e. transduce()/transduceRight(), reduce()/reduceRight(), iterator(), run(), step()). If called this way, transducer functions will return a transforming ES6 iterator (generator) and reducing functions will return a reduced result of the given input iterable.

STABLE - used in production

9.0.0 release

This release corrects a longstanding stylistic issue regarding the order of generic type args given to Reducer<A, B>, which now uses the swapped & more logical order (i.e. reduce from A to B) and is the same order of generic type args for Transducer and AsyncTransducer / AsyncReducer (in the thi.ng/transducers-async package). Most userland code should be unimpacted by this change - this is only a breaking change for custom reducer impls.

Basic usage patterns

import { comp, distinct, filter, map } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

// compose transducer
xform = comp(
    filter((x) => (x & 1) > 0), // odd numbers only
    distinct(),                 // distinct numbers only
    map((x) => x * 3)           // times 3
);

import { transduce, push } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

// collect into array (push)
transduce(xform, push(), [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]);
// [ 3, 9, 15 ]

// re-use same xform, but collect into ES6 Set
transduce(xform, conj(), [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]);
// Set { 3, 9, 15 }

import { iterator } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

// or apply as transforming iterator
// no reduction, only transformations
[...iterator(xform, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])]
// [ 3, 9, 15]

// alternatively provide an input iterable and
// use xform as transforming iterator
[...filter((x) => /[A-Z]/.test(x), "Hello World!")]
// ["H", "W"]

import { step } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

// single step execution
// returns undefined if transducer returned no result for this input
// returns array if transducer step produced multiple results
f = step(xform);
f(1) // 3
f(2) // undefined
f(3) // 9
f(4) // undefined

f = step(take)

Interpolation & SVG generation

This example uses the @thi.ng/geom package for quick SVG generation.

example output

import { asSvg, svgDoc, circle, polyline } from "@thi.ng/geom";

// source values
const values = [5, 10, 4, 8, 20, 2, 11, 7];

// interpolate values and transform into 2D points
const vertices = [...iterator(
    comp(
        interpolateHermite(10),
        mapIndexed((x, y) => [x, y])
    ),
    // duplicate first & last vals (1x LHS / 2x RHS)
    // this is only needed for hermite interpolation
    // (see doc string for `interpolateHermite`)
    extendSides(values, 1, 2)
)];

// generate SVG
asSvg(
    svgDoc(
        { width: 800, height: 200, "stroke-width": 0.1 },
        // interpolated points as polyline
        polyline(vertices, { stroke: "red" }),
        // original values as dots
        ...values.map((y, x) => circle([x * 10, y], 0.2))
    )
)

Fuzzy search

import { filterFuzzy } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

[...filterFuzzy("ho", ["hello", "hallo", "hey", "heyoka"])]
// ["hello", "hallo", "heyoka"]
[...filterFuzzy("hlo", ["hello", "hallo", "hey", "heyoka"])]
// ["hello", "hallo"]

// works with any array-like values & supports custom key extractors
[...filterFuzzy(
    [1, 3],
    { key: (x) => x.tags },
    [
        { tags: [1, 2, 3] },
        { tags: [2, 3, 4] },
        { tags: [4, 5, 6] },
        { tags: [1, 3, 6] }
    ]
)]
// [ { tags: [ 1, 2, 3 ] }, { tags: [ 1, 3, 6 ] } ]

Histogram generation & result grouping

import { frequencies, map, reduce, transduce } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

// use the `frequencies` reducer to create
// a map counting occurrence of each value
transduce(map((x) => x.toUpperCase()), frequencies(), "hello world");
// Map { 'H' => 1, 'E' => 1, 'L' => 3, 'O' => 2, ' ' => 1, 'W' => 1, 'R' => 1, 'D' => 1 }

// reduction only (no transform)
reduce(frequencies(), [1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4]);
// Map { 1 => 3, 2 => 1, 3 => 1, 4 => 2 }

// direct reduction if input is given
frequencies([1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4]);
// Map { 1 => 3, 2 => 1, 3 => 1, 4 => 2 }

// with optional key function, here to bin by word length
frequencies(
    (x) => x.length,
    "my camel is collapsing and needs some water".split(" ")
);
// Map { 2 => 2, 5 => 3, 10 => 1, 3 => 1, 4 => 1 }
import { groupByMap } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

// actual grouping (here: by word length)
groupByMap(
    { key: (x) => x.length },
    "my camel is collapsing and needs some water".split(" ")
);
// Map {
//   2 => [ 'my', 'is' ],
//   3 => [ 'and' ],
//   4 => [ 'some' ],
//   5 => [ 'camel', 'needs', 'water' ],
//   10 => [ 'collapsing' ]
// }

Pagination

import { page, comp, iterator, map, padLast, range } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

// extract only items for given page id & page length
[...page(0, 5, range(12))]
// [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ]

// when composing with other transducers
// it's most efficient to place `page()` early on in the chain
// that way only the page items will be further processed
[...iterator(comp(page(1, 5), map(x => x * 10)), range(12))]
// [ 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 ]

// use `padLast()` to fill up missing values
[...iterator(comp(page(2, 5), padLast(5, "n/a")), range(12))]
// [ 10, 11, 'n/a', 'n/a', 'n/a' ]

// no values produced for invalid pages
[...page(3, 5, range(12))]
// []

Multiplexing / parallel transducer application

multiplex and multiplexObj can be used to transform values in parallel using the provided transducers (which can be composed as usual) and results in a tuple or keyed object.

import { map, multiplex, multiplexObj, push, transduce } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

transduce(
    multiplex(
        map((x) => x.charAt(0)),
        map((x) => x.toUpperCase()),
        map((x) => x.length)
    ),
    push(),
    ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"]
);
// [ [ "A", "ALICE", 5 ], [ "B", "BOB", 3 ], [ "C", "CHARLIE", 7 ] ]

transduce(
    multiplexObj({
        initial: map((x) => x.charAt(0)),
        name: map((x) => x.toUpperCase()),
        len: map((x) => x.length)
    }),
    push(),
    ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"]
);
// [ { len: 5, name: 'ALICE', initial: 'A' },
//   { len: 3, name: 'BOB', initial: 'B' },
//   { len: 7, name: 'CHARLIE', initial: 'C' } ]

Moving average using sliding window

import { comp, map, mean, partition, push, reduce transduce } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

// use nested reduce to compute window averages
transduce(
    comp(
        partition(5, 1),
        map(x => reduce(mean(), x))
    ),
    push(),
    [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10]
)
// [ 2.6, 3.4, 4, 4.6, 5.4, 6.2, 6.8, 7.6, 8.4 ]

This combined transducer is also directly available as:

import { movingAverage } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

[...movingAverage(5, [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10])]
// [ 2.6, 3.4, 4, 4.6, 5.4, 6.2, 6.8, 7.6, 8.4 ]

Benchmark function execution time

import { benchmark, mean, repeatedly, transduce } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

// function to test
fn = () => {
    let x;
    for (i = 0; i < 1e6; i++) {
        x = Math.cos(i);
    }
    return x;
};

// compute the mean of 100 runs
transduce(benchmark(), mean(), repeatedly(fn, 100));
// 1.93 (milliseconds)

Apply inspectors to debug transducer pipeline

import { comp, filter, map, push, trace, transduce } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

// alternatively, use sideEffect() for arbitrary side fx
transduce(
    comp(
        trace("orig"),
        map((x) => x + 1),
        trace("mapped"),
        filter((x) => (x & 1) > 0)
    ),
    push(),
    [1, 2, 3, 4]
);
// orig 1
// mapped 2
// orig 2
// mapped 3
// orig 3
// mapped 4
// orig 4
// mapped 5
// [ 3, 5 ]

Stream parsing / structuring

The struct transducer is simply a composition of: partitionOf -> partition -> rename -> mapKeys. See code here.

import { struct } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

// Higher-order transducer to convert linear input into structured objects
// using given field specs and ordering. A single field spec is an array of
// 2 or 3 items: `[name, size, transform?]`. If `transform` is given, it will
// be used to produce the final value for this field. In the example below,
// it is used to unwrap the ID field values, e.g. from `[0] => 0`
[
    ...struct(
        [["id", 1, (id) => id[0]], ["pos", 2], ["vel", 2], ["color", 4]],
        [0, 100, 200, -1, 0, 1, 0.5, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 5, 4, 0, 0, 1, 1]
    )
];
// [ { color: [ 1, 0.5, 0, 1 ],
//     vel: [ -1, 0 ],
//     pos: [ 100, 200 ],
//     id: 0 },
//   { color: [ 0, 0, 1, 1 ],
//     vel: [ 5, 4 ],
//     pos: [ 0, 0 ],
//     id: 1 } ]

CSV parsing

import { comp, map, mapcat, push, rename, transduce } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

transduce(
    comp(
        // split into rows
        mapcat((x) => x.split("\n")),
        // split each row
        map((x) => x.split(",")),
        // convert each row into object, rename array indices
        rename({ id: 0, name: 1, alias: 2, num: "length" })
    ),
    push(),
    ["100,typescript\n101,clojure,clj\n110,rust,rs"]
);
// [ { num: 2, name: 'typescript', id: '100' },
//   { num: 3, alias: 'clj', name: 'clojure', id: '101' },
//   { num: 3, alias: 'rs', name: 'rust', id: '110' } ]

Early termination

import { comp, flatten, push, take, transduce } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

// result is realized after max. 7 values, irrespective of nesting
transduce(comp(flatten(), take(7)), push(), [
    1,
    [2, [3, 4, [5, 6, [7, 8], 9, [10]]]]
]);
// [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

Scan operator

import {
    comp, count, iterator, map, push, pushCopy, repeat, scan, transduce
} from "@thi.ng/transducers";

// this transducer uses 2 scans (a scan = inner reducer per item)
// 1) counts incoming values
// 2) forms an array of the current counter value `x` & repeated `x` times
// 3) emits results as series of reductions in the outer array produced
//    by the main reducer
// IMPORTANT: since arrays are mutable we use `pushCopy` as the inner reducer
// instead of `push` (the outer reducer)
xform = comp(
    scan(count()),
    map(x => [...repeat(x,x)]),
    scan(pushCopy())
)

[...iterator(xform, [1, 1, 1, 1])]
// [ [ [ 1 ] ],
//   [ [ 1 ], [ 2, 2 ] ],
//   [ [ 1 ], [ 2, 2 ], [ 3, 3, 3 ] ],
//   [ [ 1 ], [ 2, 2 ], [ 3, 3, 3 ], [ 4, 4, 4, 4 ] ] ]

// more simple & similar to previous, but without the 2nd xform step
transduce(comp(scan(count()), scan(pushCopy())), push(), [1,1,1,1])
// [ [ 1 ], [ 1, 2 ], [ 1, 2, 3 ], [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] ]

Weighted random choices

import { choices, frequencies, take, transduce } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

[...take(10, choices("abcd", [1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125]))]
// [ 'a', 'a', 'b', 'a', 'a', 'b', 'a', 'c', 'd', 'b' ]

transduce(
    take(1000),
    frequencies(),
    choices("abcd", [1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125])
);
// Map { 'c' => 132, 'a' => 545, 'b' => 251, 'd' => 72 }

Keyframe interpolation

See tween() docs for details.

import { tween } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

[
    ...tween(
        10,
        0,
        100,
        (a, b) => [a, b],
        ([a, b], t) => Math.floor(a + (b - a) * t),
        [20, 100],
        [50, 200],
        [80, 0]
    )
];
// [ 100, 100, 100, 133, 166, 200, 133, 66, 0, 0, 0 ]

API

Generated API docs

Types

Apart from type aliases, the only real types defined are:

Reducer

Reducers are the core building blocks of transducers. Unlike other implementations using OOP approaches, a Reducer in this lib is a simple 3-element array of functions, each addressing a separate processing step.

The bundled reducers are all wrapped in functions to provide a uniform API (and some of them can be preconfigured and/or are stateful closures). However, it's completely fine to define stateless reducers as constant arrays.

A Reducer is a 3-tuple of functions defining the different stages of a reduction process: A Reducer<A, B> reduces values of type A to a single value of type B.

The tuple items/functions in order:

  1. Initialization function used to produce an initial default result (only used if no such initial result was given by the user)
  2. Completion function to post-process an already reduced result (for most reducers this is merely the identity function)
  3. Accumulation function, merging a new input value with the currently existing (partially) reduced result/accumulator
type Reducer<A, B> = [
    // init
    () => B,
    // completion
    (x: B) => B,
    // accumulation
    (acc: B, x: A) => B
];

// A concrete example:
const push: Reducer<any, any[]> = [
    // init
    () => [],
    // completion (nothing to do in this case)
    (acc) => acc,
    // accumulation
    (acc, x) => (acc.push(x), acc)
];

Reduced

Simple type wrapper to mark & identify a reducer's early termination. Does not modify wrapped value by injecting magic properties.

import type { IDeref } from "@thi.ng/api";

class Reduced<T> implements IDeref<T> {
    protected value: T;
    constructor(val: T);
    deref(): T;
}

Instances can be created via reduced(x) and handled via these helper functions:

  • reduced(x: any): any
  • isReduced(x: any): boolean
  • ensureReduced(x: any): Reduced<any>
  • unreduced(x: any): any

IReducible

By default reduce() consumes inputs via the standard ES6 Iterable interface, i.e. using a for..of.. loop, but the function also supports optimized routes for some types: Array-like inputs are consumed via a traditional for-loop and custom optimized iterations can be provided via implementations of the IReducible interface in the source collection type. Examples can be found here:

Note: The IReducible interface is only used by reduce(), transduce() and run().

Transducer

From Rich Hickey's original definition:

A transducer is a transformation from one reducing function to another

As shown in the examples above, transducers can be dynamically composed (using comp()) to form arbitrary data transformation pipelines without causing large overheads for intermediate collections.

type Transducer<A, B> = (rfn: Reducer<B, any>) => Reducer<A, any>;

// concrete example of a stateless transducer (expanded for clarity)
function map<A, B>(fn: (x: A) => B): Transducer<A, B> {
    return ([init, complete, reduce]: Reducer<B, any>) => {
        return <Reducer<A, any>>[
            init,
            complete,
            (acc, x: A) => reduce(acc, fn(x))
        ];
    };
}

// stateful transducer
// removes successive value repetitions
function dedupe<T>(): Transducer<T, T> {
    return ([init, complete, reduce]: Reducer<T, any>) => {
        // state initialization
        let prev = {};
        return <Reducer<T, any>>[
            init,
            complete,
            (acc, x) => {
                if (prev !== x) acc = reduce(acc, x);
                prev = x;
                return acc;
            }
        ];
    };
}

IXform interface

Interface for types able to provide some internal functionality (or derive some related transformation) as Transducer. Implementations of this interface can be directly passed to all functions in this package where a Transducer arg is expected.

import { map, push, range, transduce, type IXform } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

class Mul implements IXform<number, number> {

    constructor(public factor = 10) {}

    xform() {
        return map((x) => this.factor * x);
    }
}

transduce(new Mul(11), push(), range(4))
// [0, 11, 22, 33, 44]

import { comp, drop, push, range, takeNth, transduce } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

// also usable w/ comp(), iterator(), step(), run() etc.
transduce(
    comp(drop(1), new Mul(11), takeNth(2)),
    push(),
    range(4)
)
// [11, 33]

Composition & execution

comp

comp(f1, f2, ...)

Returns new transducer composed from given transducers. Data flow is from left to right. Offers fast paths for up to 10 args. If more are given, composition is done dynamically via for loop.

compR

compR(rfn: Reducer<any, any>, fn: (acc, x) => any): Reducer<any, any>

Helper function to compose reducers.

iterator

iterator<A, B>(tx: Transducer<A, B>, xs: Iterable<A>): IterableIterator<B>

Similar to transduce(), but emits results as ES6 iterator (and hence doesn't use a reduction function).

reduce

reduce<A, B>(rfn: Reducer<A, B>, acc?: A, xs: Iterable<B>): A

Reduces xs using given reducer and optional initial accumulator/result. If xs implements the IReducible interface, delegates to that implementation. Likewise, uses a fast route if xs is an ArrayLike type.

reduceRight

reduceRight<A, B>(rfn: Reducer<A, B>, acc?: A, xs: ArrayLike<B>): A

Similar to reduce, however only accepts ArrayLike sources and reduces them into right-to-left order.

transduce

transduce<A, B, C>(tx: Transducer<A, B>, rfn: Reducer<C, B>, acc?: C, xs: Iterable<A>): C

Transforms iterable using given transducer and combines results with given reducer and optional initial accumulator/result.

transduceRight

transduceRight<A, B, C>(tx: Transducer<A, B>, rfn: Reducer<C, B>, acc?: C, xs: ArrayLike<A>): C

Similar to transduce, however only accepts ArrayLike sources and processes them into right-to-left order.

run

run<A, B>(tx: Transducer<A, B>, fx: (x: B) => void, xs: Iterable<A>)

Transforms iterable with given transducer and optional side effect without any reduction step. If fx is given it will be called with every value produced by the transducer. If fx is not given, the transducer is assumed to include at least one sideEffect() step itself. Returns nothing.

consume

consume(src: Iterable<any>): void

Similar to run(), consumes given iterable, presumably for any implicit side-effects. Iterable MUST be finite!

import { consume, repeatedly2d } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

// here the function given to repeatedly2d() has only a side-effect, however
// repeatedly2d() itself is lazy. Using consume() then forces this lazy iterator/generator
// to be realized and so also the side-effects to be executed
consume(repeatedly2d((x, y) => console.log("output:", [x, y]), 2, 3));
// output: [ 0, 0 ]
// output: [ 1, 0 ]
// output: [ 0, 1 ]
// output: [ 1, 1 ]
// output: [ 0, 2 ]
// output: [ 1, 2 ]

Transducers

All of the following functions can be used and composed as transducers. With a few exceptions, most also accept an input iterable and then directly yield a transforming iterator, e.g.

import { map, push, range, transduce } from "@thi.ng/transducers";

// as transducer
transduce(map((x) => x*10), push(), range(4))
// [ 0, 10, 20, 30 ]

// as transforming iterator
[...map((x) => x*10, range(4))]
// [ 0, 10, 20, 30 ]

Generators / Iterators

Reducers

As with transducer functions, reducer functions can also given an optional input iterable. If done so, the function will consume the input and return a reduced result (as if it would be called via reduce()).
