Utility functions for dealing with Arrays.
- Source - utils/ArrayUtils.js, line 13
Methods
-
<static> findClosest(value, arr) → {number}
-
Snaps a value to the nearest value in an array. The result will always be in the range
[first_value, last_value]
.Parameters:
Name Type Description value
number The search value
arr
number[] The input array which must be sorted.
Returns:
number -The nearest value found.
- Source - utils/ArrayUtils.js, line 174
-
<static> getRandomItem(objects, startIndex, length) → {object}
-
Fetch a random entry from the given array.
Will return null if there are no array items that fall within the specified range or if there is no item for the randomly choosen index.
Parameters:
Name Type Description objects
any[] An array of objects.
startIndex
integer Optional offset off the front of the array. Default value is 0, or the beginning of the array.
length
integer Optional restriction on the number of values you want to randomly select from.
Returns:
object -The random object that was selected.

-
<static> removeRandomItem(objects, startIndex, length) → {object}
-
Removes a random object from the given array and returns it.
Will return null if there are no array items that fall within the specified range or if there is no item for the randomly choosen index.
Parameters:
Name Type Description objects
any[] An array of objects.
startIndex
integer Optional offset off the front of the array. Default value is 0, or the beginning of the array.
length
integer Optional restriction on the number of values you want to randomly select from.
Returns:
object -The random object that was removed.

-
<static> rotate(array) → {any}
-
Moves the element from the start of the array to the end, shifting all items in the process. The "rotation" happens to the left.
Parameters:
Name Type Description array
any[] The array to shift/rotate. The array is modified.
Returns:
any -The shifted value.
- Source - utils/ArrayUtils.js, line 197
-
<static> rotateMatrix(matrix, direction) → {Array.<Array.<any>>}
-
Rotates the given matrix (array of arrays).
Based on the routine from ">http://jsfiddle.net/MrPolywhirl/NH42z/}.
Parameters:
Name Type Description matrix
Array.<Array.<any>> The array to rotate; this matrix may be altered.
direction
number | string The amount to rotate: the roation in degrees (90, -90, 270, -270, 180) or a string command ('rotateLeft', 'rotateRight' or 'rotate180').
Returns:
Array.<Array.<any>> -The rotated matrix. The source matrix should be discarded for the returned matrix.

-
<static> shuffle(array) → {any[]}
-
A standard Fisher-Yates Array shuffle implementation which modifies the array in place.
Parameters:
Name Type Description array
any[] The array to shuffle.
Returns:
any[] -The original array, now shuffled.

-
<static> transposeMatrix(array) → {Array.<Array.<any>>}
-
Transposes the elements of the given matrix (array of arrays).
Parameters:
Name Type Description array
Array.<Array.<any>> The matrix to transpose.
Returns:
Array.<Array.<any>> -A new transposed matrix
