Array utilities for functional programming in TypeScript.
- Battle tested performance;
- Meant to be used with a proper FP library, such as fp-ts;
- Extensive tests.

Indicates whether an array contains the same set of items with another array, irrelevant of position (sorting).
Note: only accepts arrays of primitive values.

Indicates whether an array contains the same set of items with another array, irrelevant of position (sorting), using a comparator function.

This library is a collection of array utils, written with FP principles. They focus on performance instead of compatibility.
The alternative would be to use a library like lodash
. However, lodash
in an attempt to be backwards compatible with older browsers, falls behind on performance. In addition, lodash/groupBy
changes the initial order of the array items.
Source code contributions are most welcome. Please open a PR, ensure the linter is satisfied and all tests pass.
