I can update the Readme to make it more clear that the return values are Iterators.
I'm not sure I see the value of collect() isn't iter.collect(fn) equivalent to fn(iter)?
from ecmascript-iterator-hof.
It is, but if we're dealing with several chained methods with line breaks, collect
would make the code much more readable.
deepValues.values()
.filter(value => value.isValid)
.map(value => value.children)
.flatten()
.collect(Array.from);
vs
Array.from(
deepValues.values()
.filter(value => value.isValid)
.map(value => value.children)
.flatten()
);
from ecmascript-iterator-hof.
The method could also attempt to construct the callback to be used with Map
and Set
:
Iterator.prototype.collect = function (collect) {
return Symbol.species in collect ? new collect[Symbol.species](this) : collect(this);
}
from ecmascript-iterator-hof.
I don't think all current and future uses of Species will accept that call signature
from ecmascript-iterator-hof.
Are there any examples in the wild that use a similarly named method?
from ecmascript-iterator-hof.
@leebyron No they won't. Neither will all functions accept the call signature either. It's up to the developer/ static type checker to know when to use them.

@RangerMauve I came across the name in these meeting notes: https://github.com/rwaldron/tc39-notes/blob/master/es6/2014-11/nov-19.md#58-mapprototypemap-and-mapprototypefilter-spec--set
My suggested implementation is different, but the essence is the same: a convenient API to put iterator results back into a collection after they have been transformed.
from ecmascript-iterator-hof.
I'd like to keep this proposal limited to just those higher-order operations on Iterators themselves to keep a well defined scope for an eventual proposal.
I was present for that particular conversation and remember the controversy around a collect method and introducing a collection prototype. The consensus there was to start with an Iterator prototype proposal, which inspired work on this.
If work begins on some kind of shared collection prototype, then perhaps that would be the right opportunity to define a protocol for creating collections from Iterators. Right now Symbol.species might not be the complete solution.
from ecmascript-iterator-hof.
@leebyron How about a more general purpose infix method such as D3's selection.call()
for chaining arbitrary functions.
class Iterator {
call(callback, ...args) {
return callback(this, ...args);
}
}
