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!

bifurcateOwn

Split an object's own property values into two groups according to a predicate function.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/utils-bifurcate-own

Usage

var bifurcateOwn = require( '@stdlib/utils-bifurcate-own' );

bifurcateOwn( obj, [options,] predicate )

Splits an object's own property values into two groups according to a predicate function, which specifies which group a value in the input object belongs to. If a predicate function returns a truthy value, a value belongs to the first group; otherwise, a value belongs to the second group.

function predicate( v ) {
    return v[ 0 ] === 'b';
}
var obj = {
    'a': 'beep',
    'b': 'boop',
    'c': 'foo',
    'd': 'bar'
};

var out = bifurcateOwn( obj, predicate );
// e.g., returns [ [ 'beep', 'boop', 'bar' ], [ 'foo' ] ]

A predicate function is provided two arguments:

• value: object value
• key: object index

function predicate( v, k ) {
    console.log( '%s: %s', k, v );
    return v[ 0 ] === 'b';
}
var obj = {
    'a': 'beep',
    'b': 'boop',
    'c': 'foo',
    'd': 'bar'
};

var out = bifurcateOwn( obj, predicate );
// e.g., returns [ [ 'beep', 'boop', 'bar' ], [ 'foo' ] ]

The function accepts the following options:

• returns: specifies the output format. If the option equals 'values', the function outputs values. If the option equals 'keys', the function outputs keys. If the option equals '*', the function outputs both keys and values. Default: 'values'.
• thisArg: execution context.

By default, the function returns object values. To return object keys, set the returns option to 'keys'.

function predicate( v ) {
    return v[ 0 ] === 'b';
}
var obj = {
    'a': 'beep',
    'b': 'boop',
    'c': 'foo',
    'd': 'bar'
};

var opts = {
    'returns': 'keys'
};
var out = bifurcateOwn( obj, opts, predicate );
// e.g., returns [ [ 'a', 'b', 'd' ], [ 'c' ] ]

To return key-value pairs, set the returns option to '*'.

function predicate( v ) {
    return v[ 0 ] === 'b';
}
var obj = {
    'a': 'beep',
    'b': 'boop',
    'c': 'foo',
    'd': 'bar'
};

var opts = {
    'returns': '*'
};
var out = bifurcateOwn( obj, opts, predicate );
// e.g., returns [ [ [ 'a', 'beep' ], [ 'b', 'boop ], [ 'd', 'bar' ] ], [ [ 'c', 'foo' ] ] ]

To set the predicate execution context, provide a thisArg.

function predicate( v ) {
    this.count += 1;
    return v[ 0 ] === 'b';
}
var context = {
    'count': 0
};
var opts = {
    'thisArg': context
};
var obj = {
    'a': 'beep',
    'b': 'boop',
    'c': 'foo',
    'd': 'bar'
};
var out = bifurcateOwn( obj, opts, predicate );
// e.g., returns [ [ 'beep', 'boop', 'bar' ], [ 'foo' ] ]

console.log( context.count );
// => 4

Notes

• Iteration order is not guaranteed, as object key enumeration is not specified according to the ECMAScript specification. In practice, however, most engines use insertion order to sort an object's keys, thus allowing for deterministic iteration.
• Because iteration order is not guaranteed, result order is not guaranteed.
• The function determines the list of own enumerable properties before invoking the provided function. Hence, any modifications made to the input object after calling this function (such as adding and removing properties) will not affect the list of visited properties.

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var fromCodePoint = require( '@stdlib/string-from-code-point' );
var bifurcateOwn = require( '@stdlib/utils-bifurcate-own' );

var key;
var obj;
var out;
var i;

// Generate a random object...
obj = {};
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    key = fromCodePoint( 97+i );
    obj[ key ] = randu();
}

function predicate( v ) {
    return ( v < 0.5 );
}

// Compute the groups:
out = bifurcateOwn( obj, predicate );
console.log( out );
