Array2
Provides bindings to JavaScript’s Array
functions. These bindings are optimized for pipe-first (->
), where the array to be processed is the first parameter in the function.
Here is an example to find the sum of squares of all even numbers in an array. Without pipe first, we must call the functions in reverse order:
RElet isEven = (x) => {x mod 2 == 0};
let square = (x) => {x * x};
let result = Js.Array2.(
reduce(map(filter([|5, 2, 3, 4, 1|], isEven), square), (+), 0)
);
With pipe first, we call the functions in the “natural” order:
RElet isEven = (x) => {x mod 2 == 0};
let square = (x) => {x * x};
let result = Js.Array2.(
[|5, 2, 3, 4, 1|] ->
filter(isEven) ->
map(square) ->
reduce((+), 0)
);
t
REtype t('a) = array('a);
The type used to describe a JavaScript array.
array_like
REtype array_like('a);
A type used to describe JavaScript objects that are like an array or are iterable.
from
RElet from: array_like('a) => array('b);
Creates a shallow copy of an array from an array-like object. See Array.from
on MDN.
RElet strArr = Js.String.castToArrayLike("abcd");
Js.Array2.from(strArr) == [|"a", "b", "c", "d"|];
fromMap
RElet fromMap: (array_like('a), 'a => 'b) => array('b);
Creates a new array by applying a function (the second argument) to each item in the array_like
first argument. See Array.from
on MDN.

isArray
RElet isArray: 'a => bool;
Returns true
if its argument is an array; false

Applies the function (the second argument) to each item in the array, returning a new array. The function acceps two arguments: an item from the array and its index number. The result array does not have to have elements of the same type as the input array. See Array.map
on MDN.
RE// multiply each item in array by its position
let product = (item, index) => {item * index};
Js.Array2.mapi([|10, 11, 12|], product) == [|0, 11, 24|];
reduce
RElet reduce: (t('a), ('b, 'a) => 'b, 'b) => 'b;
The reduce()
function takes three parameters: an array, a reducer function, and a beginning accumulator value. The reducer function has two parameters: an accumulated value and an element of the array.
reduce()
first calls the reducer function with the beginning value and the first element in the array. The result becomes the new accumulator value, which is passed in to the reducer function along with the second element in the array. reduce()
proceeds through the array, passing in the result of each stage as the accumulator to the reducer function.
When all array elements are processed, the final value of the accumulator becomes the return value of reduce()
. See Array.reduce
on MDN.
RElet sumOfSquares = (accumulator, item) => {
accumulator + (item * item);
};
Js.Array2.reduce([|10, 2, 4|], sumOfSquares, 0) == 120;
Js.Array2.reduce([|10, 2, 4|], (*), 1) == 80;
Js.Array2.reduce([|"animal", "vegetable", "mineral"|],
(acc, item) => acc + Js.String.length(item), 0) == 22; // 6 + 9 + 7
Js.Array2.reduce([|2.0, 4.0|],
(acc, item) => {item /. acc}, 1.0) == 2.0; // 4.0 / (2.0 / 1.0)
reducei
RElet reducei: (t('a), ('b, 'a, int) => 'b, 'b) => 'b;
The reducei()
function takes three parameters: an array, a reducer function, and a beginning accumulator value. The reducer function has three parameters: an accumulated value, an element of the array, and the index of that element.
reducei()
first calls the reducer function with the beginning value, the first element in the array, and zero (its index). The result becomes the new accumulator value, which is passed to the reducer function along with the second element in the array and one (its index). reducei()
proceeds from left to right through the array, passing in the result of each stage as the accumulator to the reducer function.
When all array elements are processed, the final value of the accumulator becomes the return value of reducei()
. See Array.reduce
on MDN.
RE// find sum of even-index elements in array
let sumOfEvens = (accumulator, item, index) => {
if (index mod 2 == 0) {
accumulator + item;
} else {
accumulator;
}
};
Js.Array2.reducei([|2, 5, 1, 4, 3|], sumOfEvens, 0) == 6;
reduceRight
RElet reduceRight: (t('a), ('b, 'a) => 'b, 'b) => 'b;
The reduceRight()
function takes three parameters: an array, a reducer function, and a beginning accumulator value. The reducer function has two parameters: an accumulated value and an element of the array.
reduceRight()
first calls the reducer function with the beginning value and the last element in the array. The result becomes the new accumulator value, which is passed in to the reducer function along with the next-to-last element in the array. reduceRight()
proceeds from right to left through the array, passing in the result of each stage as the accumulator to the reducer function.
When all array elements are processed, the final value of the accumulator becomes the return value of reduceRight()
. See Array.reduceRight
on MDN.
NOTE: In many cases, reduce()
and reduceRight()
give the same result. However, see the last example here and compare it to the example from reduce()
, where order makes a difference.
RElet sumOfSquares = (accumulator, item) => {
accumulator + (item * item);
};
Js.Array2.reduceRight([|10, 2, 4|], sumOfSquares, 0) == 120;
Js.Array2.reduceRight([|2.0, 4.0|],
(acc, item) => {item /. acc}, 1.0) == 0.5; // 2.0 / (4.0 / 1.0)
reduceRighti
RElet reduceRighti: (t('a), ('b, 'a, int) => 'b, 'b) => 'b;
The reduceRighti()
function takes three parameters: an array, a reducer function, and a beginning accumulator value. The reducer function has three parameters: an accumulated value, an element of the array, and the index of that element. reduceRighti()
first calls the reducer function with the beginning value, the last element in the array, and its index (length of array minus one). The result becomes the new accumulator value, which is passed in to the reducer function along with the second element in the array and one (its index). reduceRighti()
proceeds from right to left through the array, passing in the result of each stage as the accumulator to the reducer function.
When all array elements are processed, the final value of the accumulator becomes the return value of reduceRighti()
. See Array.reduceRight
on MDN.
NOTE: In many cases, reducei()
and reduceRighti()
give the same result. However, there are cases where the order in which items are processed makes a difference.
RE// find sum of even-index elements in array
let sumOfEvens = (accumulator, item, index) => {
if (index mod 2 == 0) {
accumulator + item;
} else {
accumulator;
}
};
Js.Array2.reduceRighti([|2, 5, 1, 4, 3|], sumOfEvens, 0) == 6;
some
RElet some: (t('a), 'a => bool) => bool;
Returns true
if the predicate function given as the second argument to some()
returns true
for any element in the array; false
otherwise.
RElet isEven = (x) => {x mod 2 == 0};
Js.Array2.some([|3, 7, 5, 2, 9|], isEven) == true;
Js.Array2.some([|3, 7, 5, 1, 9|], isEven) == false;
somei
RElet somei: (t('a), ('a, int) => bool) => bool;
Returns true
if the predicate function given as the second argument to somei()
returns true
for any element in the array; false
otherwise. The predicate function has two arguments: an item from the array and the index value
RE// Does any string in the array
// have the same length as its index?
let sameLength = (str, index) => {
Js.String.length(str) == index;
}
// "ef" has length 2 and is it at index 2
Js.Array2.somei([|"ab", "cd", "ef", "gh"|], sameLength) == true;
// no item has the same length as its index
Js.Array2.somei([|"a", "bc", "def", "gh"|], sameLength) == false;
unsafe_get
RElet unsafe_get: (array('a), int) => 'a;
Returns the value at the given position in the array if the position is in bounds; returns the JavaScript value undefined
otherwise.
RElet arr = [|100, 101, 102, 103|];
Js.Array2.unsafe_get(arr, 3) == 103;
Js.Array2.unsafe_get(arr, 4); // returns undefined
unsafe_set
RElet unsafe_set: (array('a), int, 'a) => unit;
Sets the value at the given position in the array if the position is in bounds. If the index is out of bounds, well, “here there be dragons.“ This function modifies the original array.
RElet arr = [|100, 101, 102, 103|];
Js.Array2.unsafe_set(arr, 3, 99);
// result is [|100, 101, 102, 99|];
Js.Array2.unsafe_set(arr, 4, 88);
// result is [|100, 101, 102, 99, 88|]
Js.Array2.unsafe_set(arr, 6, 77);
// result is [|100, 101, 102, 99, 88, <1 empty item>, 77|]
Js.Array2.unsafe_set(arr, -1, 66);
// you don't want to know.
