Упорядоченные наборы данных

Данная глава знакомит читателя с объектами набора данных, упорядоченных по индексу. Глава включает в себя описание массивов и массивоподобных структур, таких как Array объекты и TypedArray объекты.

Array объект

Массив представляется собой упорядоченный набор значений, к которому вы обращаетесь по некоторому имени и индексу.  Допустим, у вас есть массив с именем emp, содержащий имена сотрудников и упорядоченный по номеру сотрудников. Следовательно, emp[1] будет представлять собой имя сотрудника номер один, emp[2] -- имя сотрудника номер два, и т.д.

Язык JavaScript не содержит встроенного типа данных "массив". Тем не менее, возможно использовать предопределенный объект Array и его методы для работы с массивами в создаваемых приложениях. Объект Array содержит методы для работы с массивами самыми различными способами, например, есть методы для объединения,  переворачивания и сортировки массивов. Объект содержит свойство для определения длины массива, а также свойства для работы с регулярными выражениями.

Создание массива

Следующие выражения создают одинаковые массивы:

var arr = new Array(element0, element1, ..., elementN);
var arr = Array(element0, element1, ..., elementN);
var arr = [element0, element1, ..., elementN];

element0, element1, ..., elementN - список значений элементов массива. Если значения заданы, то эти значения будут являться элементами массива после его инициализации. Свойство length у массива будет равно количеству аргументов.

Синтаксис с использованием квадратных скобок называется "литерал массива" (array literal) или "инициализатор массива". Такая запись короче, чем другие способы создания массива, и, как правило, более предпочтительна. Cм. Array literals.

Для создания массива без элементов и ненулевой длины, возможно использовать одно из следующих выражений:

var arr = new Array(arrayLength);
var arr = Array(arrayLength);

// This has exactly the same effect
var arr = [];
arr.length = arrayLength;

Замечание: в примере ниже arrayLength должно иметь числовой тип. В противном случае будет создан массив с единственным элементом (указанное значение). Вызванная функция arr.length вернет значение  arrayLength, но на самом деле массив будет содержать пустые элементы (undefined). Использование цикла for...in для обработки значний массива вернет нулевое значение элементов массива.

In addition to a newly defined variable as shown above, arrays can also be assigned as a property of a new or an existing object:

var obj = {};
// ...
obj.prop = [element0, element1, ..., elementN];

// OR
var obj = {prop: [element0, element1, ...., elementN]}

If you wish to initialize an array with a single element, and the element happens to be a Number, you must use the bracket syntax. When a single Number value is passed to the Array() constructor or function, it is interpreted as an arrayLength, not as a single element.

var arr = [42];
var arr = Array(42); // Creates an array with no element, 
                     // but with arr.length set to 42

// The above code is equivalent to
var arr = [];
arr.length = 42;

Calling Array(N) results in a RangeError, if N is a non-whole number whose fractional portion is non-zero. The following example illustrates this behavior.

var arr = Array(9.3);  // RangeError: Invalid array length

If your code needs to create arrays with single elements of an arbitrary data type, it is safer to use array literals. Or, create an empty array first before adding the single element to it.

Populating an array

You can populate an array by assigning values to its elements. For example,

var emp = [];
emp[0] = "Casey Jones";
emp[1] = "Phil Lesh";
emp[2] = "August West";

Note: if you supply a non-integer value to the array operator in the code above, a property will be created in the object representing the array, instead of an array element.

var arr = [];
arr[3.4] = "Oranges";
console.log(arr.length);                // 0
console.log(arr.hasOwnProperty(3.4));   // true

You can also populate an array when you create it:

var myArray = new Array("Hello", myVar, 3.14159);
var myArray = ["Mango", "Apple", "Orange"]

Referring to array elements

You refer to an array's elements by using the element's ordinal number. For example, suppose you define the following array:

var myArray = ["Wind", "Rain", "Fire"];

You then refer to the first element of the array as myArray[0] and the second element of the array as myArray[1]. The index of the elements begins with zero.

Note: the array operator (square brackets) is also used for accessing the array's properties (arrays are also objects in JavaScript). For example,

var arr = ["one", "two", "three"];
arr[2];  // three
arr["length"];  // 3

Understanding length

At the implementation level, JavaScript's arrays actually store their elements as standard object properties, using the array index as the property name. The length property is special; it always returns the index of the last element plus one (in following example Dusty is indexed at 30 so cats.length returns 30 + 1). Remember, JavaScript Array indexes are 0-based: they start at 0, not 1. This means that the length property will be one more than the highest index stored in the array:

var cats = [];
cats[30] = ['Dusty'];
console.log(cats.length); // 31

You can also assign to the length property. Writing a value that is shorter than the number of stored items truncates the array; writing 0 empties it entirely:

var cats = ['Dusty', 'Misty', 'Twiggy'];
console.log(cats.length); // 3

cats.length = 2;
console.log(cats); // logs "Dusty,Misty" - Twiggy has been removed

cats.length = 0;
console.log(cats); // logs nothing; the cats array is empty

cats.length = 3;
console.log(cats); // [undefined, undefined, undefined]

Iterating over arrays

A common operation is to iterate over the values of an array, processing each one in some way. The simplest way to do this is as follows:

var colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue'];
for (var i = 0; i < colors.length; i++) {
  console.log(colors[i]);
}

If you know that none of the elements in your array evaluate to false in a boolean context — if your array consists only of DOM nodes, for example, you can use a more efficient idiom:

var divs = document.getElementsByTagName('div');
for (var i = 0, div; div = divs[i]; i++) {
  /* Process div in some way */
}

This avoids the overhead of checking the length of the array, and ensures that the div variable is reassigned to the current item each time around the loop for added convenience.

The forEach() method provides another way of iterating over an array:

var colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue'];
colors.forEach(function(color) {
  console.log(color);
});

The function passed to forEach is executed once for every item in the array, with the array item passed as the argument to the function. Unassigned values are not iterated in a forEach loop.

Note that the elements of array omitted when the array is defined are not listed when iterating by forEach,but are listed when undefined has been manually assigned to the element:

var array = ['first', 'second', , 'fourth'];

// returns ['first', 'second', 'fourth'];
array.forEach(function(element) {
  console.log(element);
})

if(array[2] === undefined) { console.log('array[2] is undefined'); } // true

var array = ['first', 'second', undefined, 'fourth'];

// returns ['first', 'second', undefined, 'fourth'];
array.forEach(function(element) {
  console.log(element);
})

Since JavaScript elements are saved as standard object properties, it is not advisable to iterate through JavaScript arrays using for...in loops because normal elements and all enumerable properties will be listed.

Array methods

The Array object has the following methods:

concat() joins two arrays and returns a new array.

var myArray = new Array("1", "2", "3");
myArray = myArray.concat("a", "b", "c"); 
// myArray is now ["1", "2", "3", "a", "b", "c"]

join(deliminator = ',') joins all elements of an array into a string.

var myArray = new Array("Wind", "Rain", "Fire");
var list = myArray.join(" - "); // list is "Wind - Rain - Fire"

push() adds one or more elements to the end of an array and returns the resulting length of the array.

var myArray = new Array("1", "2");
myArray.push("3"); // myArray is now ["1", "2", "3"]

pop() removes the last element from an array and returns that element.

var myArray = new Array("1", "2", "3");
var last = myArray.pop(); 
// myArray is now ["1", "2"], last = "3"

shift() removes the first element from an array and returns that element.

var myArray = new Array ("1", "2", "3");
var first = myArray.shift(); 
// myArray is now ["2", "3"], first is "1"

unshift() adds one or more elements to the front of an array and returns the new length of the array.

var myArray = new Array ("1", "2", "3");
myArray.unshift("4", "5"); 
// myArray becomes ["4", "5", "1", "2", "3"]

slice(start_index, upto_index) extracts a section of an array and returns a new array.

var myArray = new Array ("a", "b", "c", "d", "e");
myArray = myArray.slice(1, 4); // starts at index 1 and extracts all elements
                               // until index 3, returning [ "b", "c", "d"]

splice(index, count_to_remove, addElement1, addElement2, ...) removes elements from an array and (optionally) replaces them.

var myArray = new Array ("1", "2", "3", "4", "5");
myArray.splice(1, 3, "a", "b", "c", "d"); 
// myArray is now ["1", "a", "b", "c", "d", "5"]
// This code started at index one (or where the "2" was), 
// removed 3 elements there, and then inserted all consecutive
// elements in its place.

reverse() transposes the elements of an array: the first array element becomes the last and the last becomes the first.

var myArray = new Array ("1", "2", "3");
myArray.reverse(); 
// transposes the array so that myArray = [ "3", "2", "1" ]

sort() sorts the elements of an array.

var myArray = new Array("Wind", "Rain", "Fire");
myArray.sort(); 
// sorts the array so that myArray = [ "Fire", "Rain", "Wind" ]

sort() can also take a callback function to determine how array elements are compared. The function compares two values and returns one of three values:

For instance, the following will sort by the last letter of a string:

var sortFn = function(a, b){
  if (a[a.length - 1] < b[b.length - 1]) return -1;
  if (a[a.length - 1] > b[b.length - 1]) return 1;
  if (a[a.length - 1] == b[b.length - 1]) return 0;
}
myArray.sort(sortFn); 
// sorts the array so that myArray = ["Wind","Fire","Rain"]
  • if a is less than b by the sorting system, return -1 (or any negative number)
  • if a is greater than b by the sorting system, return 1 (or any positive number)
  • if a and b are considered equivalent, return 0.

indexOf(searchElement[, fromIndex]) searches the array for searchElement and returns the index of the first match.

var a = ['a', 'b', 'a', 'b', 'a'];
console.log(a.indexOf('b')); // logs 1
// Now try again, starting from after the last match
console.log(a.indexOf('b', 2)); // logs 3
console.log(a.indexOf('z')); // logs -1, because 'z' was not found

lastIndexOf(searchElement[, fromIndex]) works like indexOf, but starts at the end and searches backwards.

var a = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'a', 'b'];
console.log(a.lastIndexOf('b')); // logs 5
// Now try again, starting from before the last match
console.log(a.lastIndexOf('b', 4)); // logs 1
console.log(a.lastIndexOf('z')); // logs -1

forEach(callback[, thisObject]) executes callback on every array item.

var a = ['a', 'b', 'c'];
a.forEach(function(element) { console.log(element);} ); 
// logs each item in turn

map(callback[, thisObject]) returns a new array of the return value from executing callback on every array item.

var a1 = ['a', 'b', 'c'];
var a2 = a1.map(function(item) { return item.toUpperCase(); });
console.log(a2); // logs A,B,C

filter(callback[, thisObject]) returns a new array containing the items for which callback returned true.

var a1 = ['a', 10, 'b', 20, 'c', 30];
var a2 = a1.filter(function(item) { return typeof item == 'number'; });
console.log(a2); // logs 10,20,30

every(callback[, thisObject]) returns true if callback returns true for every item in the array.

function isNumber(value){
  return typeof value == 'number';
}
var a1 = [1, 2, 3];
console.log(a1.every(isNumber)); // logs true
var a2 = [1, '2', 3];
console.log(a2.every(isNumber)); // logs false

some(callback[, thisObject]) returns true if callback returns true for at least one item in the array.

function isNumber(value){
  return typeof value == 'number';
}
var a1 = [1, 2, 3];
console.log(a1.some(isNumber)); // logs true
var a2 = [1, '2', 3];
console.log(a2.some(isNumber)); // logs true
var a3 = ['1', '2', '3'];
console.log(a3.some(isNumber)); // logs false

The methods above that take a callback are known as iterative methods, because they iterate over the entire array in some fashion. Each one takes an optional second argument called thisObject. If provided, thisObject becomes the value of the this keyword inside the body of the callback function. If not provided, as with other cases where a function is invoked outside of an explicit object context, this will refer to the global object (window).

The callback function is actually called with three arguments. The first is the value of the current item, the second is its array index, and the third is a reference to the array itself. JavaScript functions ignore any arguments that are not named in the parameter list so it is safe to provide a callback function that only takes a single argument, such as alert.

reduce(callback[, initialValue]) applies callback(firstValue, secondValue) to reduce the list of items down to a single value.

var a = [10, 20, 30];
var total = a.reduce(function(first, second) { return first + second; }, 0);
console.log(total) // Prints 60

reduceRight(callback[, initalvalue]) works like reduce(), but starts with the last element.

reduce and reduceRight are the least obvious of the iterative array methods. They should be used for algorithms that combine two values recursively in order to reduce a sequence down to a single value.

Multi-dimensional arrays

Arrays can be nested, meaning that an array can contain another array as an element. Using this characteristic of JavaScript arrays, multi-dimensional arrays can be created.

The following code creates a two-dimensional array.

var a = new Array(4);
for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
  a[i] = new Array(4);
  for (j = 0; j < 4; j++) {
    a[i][j] = "[" + i + "," + j + "]";
  }
}

This example creates an array with the following rows:

Row 0: [0,0] [0,1] [0,2] [0,3]
Row 1: [1,0] [1,1] [1,2] [1,3]
Row 2: [2,0] [2,1] [2,2] [2,3]
Row 3: [3,0] [3,1] [3,2] [3,3]

Arrays and regular expressions

When an array is the result of a match between a regular expression and a string, the array returns properties and elements that provide information about the match. An array is the return value of RegExp.exec(), String.match(), and String.split(). For information on using arrays with regular expressions, see Regular Expressions.

Working with array-like objects

Some JavaScript objects, such as the NodeList returned by document.getElementsByTagName() or the arguments object made available within the body of a function, look and behave like arrays on the surface but do not share all of their methods. The arguments object provides a length attribute but does not implement the forEach() method, for example.

Array generics, provide a way of running Array methods against other array-like objects. Each standard array method has a corresponding method on the Array object itself; for example:

function printArguments() {
  Array.forEach(arguments, function(item) {
    console.log(item);
  });
}

These generic methods can be emulated more verbosely in older versions of JavaScript using the call method provided by JavaScript function objects:

Array.prototype.forEach.call(arguments, function(item) {
  console.log(item);
});

Array generic methods can be used on strings as well, since they provide sequential access to their characters in a similar way to arrays:

Array.forEach("a string", function(chr) {
  console.log(chr);
});

Array comprehensions

Introduced in JavaScript 1.7 and proposed to be standardized in ECMAScript 7, array comprehensions provide a useful shortcut for constructing a new array based on the contents of another. Comprehensions can often be used in place of calls to map() and filter(), or as a way of combining the two.

The following comprehension takes an array of numbers and creates a new array of the double of each of those numbers.

var numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4];
var doubled = [i * 2 for (i of numbers)];
console.log(doubled); // logs 2,4,6,8

This is equivalent to the following map() operation:

var doubled = numbers.map(function(i){return i * 2;});

Comprehensions can also be used to select items that match a particular expression. Here is a comprehension which selects only even numbers:

var numbers = [1, 2, 3, 21, 22, 30];
var evens = [i for (i of numbers) if (i % 2 === 0)];
console.log(evens); // logs 2,22,30

filter() can be used for the same purpose:

var evens = numbers.filter(function(i){return i % 2 === 0;});

map() and filter() style operations can be combined into a single array comprehension. Here is one that filters just the even numbers, then creates an array containing their doubles:

var numbers = [1, 2, 3, 21, 22, 30];
var doubledEvens = [i * 2 for (i of numbers) if (i % 2 === 0)];
console.log(doubledEvens); // logs 4,44,60

The square brackets of an array comprehension introduce an implicit block for scoping purposes. New variables (such as i in the example) are treated as if they had been declared using let. This means that they will not be available outside of the comprehension.

The input to an array comprehension does not itself need to be an array; iterators and generators can also be used.

Even strings may be used as input; to achieve the filter and map actions (under Array-like objects) above:

var str = 'abcdef';
var consonantsOnlyStr = [c for (c of str) if (!(/[aeiouAEIOU]/).test(c))  ].join(''); // 'bcdf'
var interpolatedZeros = [c+'0' for (c of str) ].join(''); // 'a0b0c0d0e0f0'

Again, the input form is not preserved, so we have to use join() to revert back to a string.

Typed Arrays

JavaScript typed arrays are array-like objects and provide a mechanism for accessing raw binary data. As you already know, Array objects grow and shrink dynamically and can have any JavaScript value. JavaScript engines perform optimizations so that these arrays are fast. However, as web applications become more and more powerful, adding features such as audio and video manipulation, access to raw data using WebSockets, and so forth, it has become clear that there are times when it would be helpful for JavaScript code to be able to quickly and easily manipulate raw binary data in typed arrays.

Buffers and views: typed array architecture

To achieve maximum flexibility and efficiency, JavaScript typed arrays split the implementation into buffers and views. A buffer (implemented by the ArrayBuffer object) is an object representing a chunk of data; it has no format to speak of, and offers no mechanism for accessing its contents. In order to access the memory contained in a buffer, you need to use a view. A view provides a context — that is, a data type, starting offset, and number of elements — that turns the data into an actual typed array.

Typed arrays in an ArrayBuffer

ArrayBuffer

The ArrayBuffer is a data type that is used to represent a generic, fixed-length binary data buffer. You can't directly manipulate the contents of an ArrayBuffer; instead, you create a typed array view or a DataView which represents the buffer in a specific format, and use that to read and write the contents of the buffer.

Typed array views

Typed array views have self descriptive names and provide views for all the usual numeric types like Int8, Uint32, Float64 and so forth. There is one special typed array view, the Uint8ClampedArray. It clamps the values between 0 and 255. This is useful for Canvas data processing, for example.

Type Size in bytes Description Web IDL type Equivalent C type
Int8Array 1 8-bit two's complement signed integer byte int8_t
Uint8Array 1 8-bit unsigned integer octet uint8_t
Uint8ClampedArray 1 8-bit unsigned integer (clamped) octet uint8_t
Int16Array 2 16-bit two's complement signed integer short int16_t
Uint16Array 2 16-bit unsigned integer unsigned short uint16_t
Int32Array 4 32-bit two's complement signed integer long int32_t
Uint32Array 4 32-bit unsigned integer unsigned long uint32_t
Float32Array 4 32-bit IEEE floating point number unrestricted float float
Float64Array 8 64-bit IEEE floating point number unrestricted double double
