nnmap (No nulls map)

A function for selectively mapping through arrays

• Just return null to exclude values from map
• Quit from map at any time

No dependencies

Usage:

function returnIfEven(n: any): any | null {
  return (n % 2 === 0) ? n : null;
}

function quitIfThree(n: any): boolean {
  if (n === 3) return true;
  return false;
}

function quitOnThirdItem(n: any, index: number): boolean {
  if (index >= 3) return true;
  return false;
}

// skip nulls
const evenValues = nnmap([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], returnIfEven); // [2, 4, 6]

// quit when value is 3
const quitWhenThree = nnmap([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]), (n) => n, quitIfThree); // [1, 2]

// map until the third index (maps indexes 0, 1, 2)
const firstThreeMappedItems = nnmap([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]), (n) => n, quitOnThirdItem); // [1, 2, 3]

const mappedArray = nnmap([]), (n) => n, (n, i) => null); 

cb: Callback

Whatever this callback returns is inserted in the resulting array

Parameters

Name	type	Description
currentItem	any	The current array item to map to a new value

(item) => item.foo

qcb?: QuitCallback

Name	type	Description
currentItem	any[]	The current array item to map to a new value
currentIndex	number	The current index being mapped

// quit based on the current value
(item) => item.quit === true;

// quit based on the current index
