Collection

True if this and the other Collection have value equality, as defined by Immutable.is().

Note: This is equivalent to Immutable.is(this, other), but provided to allow for chained expressions.

Computes and returns the hashed identity for this Collection.

The hashCode of a Collection is used to determine potential equality, and is used when adding this to a Set or as a key in a Map, enabling lookup via a different instance.

const a = List([ 1, 2, 3 ]);
const b = List([ 1, 2, 3 ]);
assert.notStrictEqual(a, b); // different instances
const set = Set([ a ]);
assert.equal(set.has(b), true);run it

If two values have the same hashCode, they are not guaranteed to be equal. If two values have different hashCodes, they must not be equal.

True if a key exists within this Collection, using Immutable.is to determine equality

True if a value exists within this Collection, using Immutable.is to determine equality

In case the Collection is not empty returns the first element of the Collection. In case the Collection is empty returns the optional default value if provided, if no default value is provided returns undefined.

In case the Collection is not empty returns the last element of the Collection. In case the Collection is empty returns the optional default value if provided, if no default value is provided returns undefined.

Returns the value found by following a path of keys or indices through nested Collections.

const { Map, List } = require('immutable')
const deepData = Map({ x: List([ Map({ y: 123 }) ]) });
deepData.getIn(['x', 0, 'y']) // 123run it

Plain JavaScript Object or Arrays may be nested within an Immutable.js Collection, and getIn() can access those values as well:

const { Map, List } = require('immutable')
const deepData = Map({ x: [ { y: 123 } ] });
deepData.getIn(['x', 0, 'y']) // 123run it

True if the result of following a path of keys or indices through nested Collections results in a set value.

This can be very useful as a way to "chain" a normal function into a sequence of methods. RxJS calls this "let" and lodash calls it "thru".

For example, to sum a Seq after mapping and filtering:

const { Seq } = require('immutable')

function sum(collection) {
  return collection.reduce((sum, x) => sum + x, 0)
}
Seq([ 1, 2, 3 ])
  .map(x => x + 1)
  .filter(x => x % 2 === 0)
  .update(sum)
// 6run it

Deeply converts this Collection to equivalent native JavaScript Array or Object.

Collection.Indexed, and Collection.Set become Array, while Collection.Keyed become Object, converting keys to Strings.

Shallowly converts this Collection to equivalent native JavaScript Array or Object.

Collection.Indexed, and Collection.Set become Array, while Collection.Keyed become Object, converting keys to Strings.

Shallowly converts this collection to an Array.

Collection.Indexed, and Collection.Set produce an Array of values. Collection.Keyed produce an Array of [key, value] tuples.

Shallowly converts this Collection to an Object.

Converts keys to Strings.

Converts this Collection to a Map, Throws if keys are not hashable.

Note: This is equivalent to Map(this.toKeyedSeq()), but provided for convenience and to allow for chained expressions.

Converts this Collection to a Map, maintaining the order of iteration.

Note: This is equivalent to OrderedMap(this.toKeyedSeq()), but provided for convenience and to allow for chained expressions.

Converts this Collection to a Set, discarding keys. Throws if values are not hashable.

Note: This is equivalent to Set(this), but provided to allow for chained expressions.

Converts this Collection to a Set, maintaining the order of iteration and discarding keys.

Note: This is equivalent to OrderedSet(this.valueSeq()), but provided for convenience and to allow for chained expressions.

Converts this Collection to a List, discarding keys.

This is similar to List(collection), but provided to allow for chained expressions. However, when called on Map or other keyed collections, collection.toList() discards the keys and creates a list of only the values, whereas List(collection) creates a list of entry tuples.

const { Map, List } = require('immutable')
var myMap = Map({ a: 'Apple', b: 'Banana' })
List(myMap) // List [ [ "a", "Apple" ], [ "b", "Banana" ] ]
myMap.toList() // List [ "Apple", "Banana" ]run it

Converts this Collection to a Stack, discarding keys. Throws if values are not hashable.

Note: This is equivalent to Stack(this), but provided to allow for chained expressions.

Converts this Collection to a Seq of the same kind (indexed, keyed, or set).

Returns a Seq.Keyed from this Collection where indices are treated as keys.

This is useful if you want to operate on an Collection.Indexed and preserve the [index, value] pairs.

The returned Seq will have identical iteration order as this Collection.

const { Seq } = require('immutable')
const indexedSeq = Seq([ 'A', 'B', 'C' ])
// Seq [ "A", "B", "C" ]
indexedSeq.filter(v => v === 'B')
// Seq [ "B" ]
const keyedSeq = indexedSeq.toKeyedSeq()
// Seq { 0: "A", 1: "B", 2: "C" }
keyedSeq.filter(v => v === 'B')
// Seq { 1: "B" }run it

Returns an Seq.Indexed of the values of this Collection, discarding keys.

Returns a Seq.Set of the values of this Collection, discarding keys.

An iterator of this Collection's keys.

Note: this will return an ES6 iterator which does not support Immutable.js sequence algorithms. Use keySeq instead, if this is what you want.

An iterator of this Collection's values.

Note: this will return an ES6 iterator which does not support Immutable.js sequence algorithms. Use valueSeq instead, if this is what you want.

An iterator of this Collection's entries as [ key, value ] tuples.

Note: this will return an ES6 iterator which does not support Immutable.js sequence algorithms. Use entrySeq instead, if this is what you want.

Returns a new Seq.Indexed of the keys of this Collection, discarding values.

Returns an Seq.Indexed of the values of this Collection, discarding keys.

Returns a new Seq.Indexed of [key, value] tuples.

Returns a new Collection of the same type with values passed through a mapper function.

const { Collection } = require('immutable')
Collection({ a: 1, b: 2 }).map(x => 10 * x)
// Seq { "a": 10, "b": 20 }run it

Note: map() always returns a new instance, even if it produced the same value at every step.

Returns a new Collection of the same type with only the entries for which the predicate function returns false.

const { Map } = require('immutable')
Map({ a: 1, b: 2, c: 3, d: 4}).filterNot(x => x % 2 === 0)
// Map { "a": 1, "c": 3 }run it

Note: filterNot() always returns a new instance, even if it results in not filtering out any values.

Returns a new Collection of the same type in reverse order.

Returns a new Collection of the same type which includes the same entries, stably sorted by using a comparator.

If a comparator is not provided, a default comparator uses < and >.

comparator(valueA, valueB):

• Returns 0 if the elements should not be swapped.
• Returns -1 (or any negative number) if valueA comes before valueB
• Returns 1 (or any positive number) if valueA comes after valueB
• Is pure, i.e. it must always return the same value for the same pair of values.

When sorting collections which have no defined order, their ordered equivalents will be returned. e.g. map.sort() returns OrderedMap.

const { Map } = require('immutable')
Map({ "c": 3, "a": 1, "b": 2 }).sort((a, b) => {
  if (a < b) { return -1; }
  if (a > b) { return 1; }
  if (a === b) { return 0; }
});
// OrderedMap { "a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3 }run it

Note: sort() Always returns a new instance, even if the original was already sorted.

Note: This is always an eager operation.

Like sort, but also accepts a comparatorValueMapper which allows for sorting by more sophisticated means:

const { Map } = require('immutable')
const beattles = Map({
  John: { name: "Lennon" },
  Paul: { name: "McCartney" },
  George: { name: "Harrison" },
  Ringo: { name: "Starr" },
});
beattles.sortBy(member => member.name);run it

Note: sortBy() Always returns a new instance, even if the original was already sorted.

Note: This is always an eager operation.

Returns a Collection.Keyed of Collection.Keyeds, grouped by the return value of the grouper function.

Note: This is always an eager operation.

const { List, Map } = require('immutable')
const listOfMaps = List([
  Map({ v: 0 }),
  Map({ v: 1 }),
  Map({ v: 1 }),
  Map({ v: 0 }),
  Map({ v: 2 })
])
const groupsOfMaps = listOfMaps.groupBy(x => x.get('v'))
// Map {
//   0: List [ Map{ "v": 0 }, Map { "v": 0 } ],
//   1: List [ Map{ "v": 1 }, Map { "v": 1 } ],
//   2: List [ Map{ "v": 2 } ],
// }run it

The sideEffect is executed for every entry in the Collection.

Unlike Array#forEach, if any call of sideEffect returns false, the iteration will stop. Returns the number of entries iterated (including the last iteration which returned false).

Returns a new Collection of the same type representing a portion of this Collection from start up to but not including end.

If begin is negative, it is offset from the end of the Collection. e.g. slice(-2) returns a Collection of the last two entries. If it is not provided the new Collection will begin at the beginning of this Collection.

If end is negative, it is offset from the end of the Collection. e.g. slice(0, -1) returns a Collection of everything but the last entry. If it is not provided, the new Collection will continue through the end of this Collection.

If the requested slice is equivalent to the current Collection, then it will return itself.

Returns a new Collection of the same type containing all entries except the first.

Returns a new Collection of the same type containing all entries except the last.

Returns a new Collection of the same type which excludes the first amount entries from this Collection.

Returns a new Collection of the same type which excludes the last amount entries from this Collection.

List([ 'dog', 'frog', 'cat', 'hat', 'god' ])
  .takeWhile(x => x.match(/o/))
// List [ "dog", "frog" ]run it

Returns a new Collection of the same type which includes entries from this Collection as long as the predicate returns false.

const { List } = require('immutable')
List([ 'dog', 'frog', 'cat', 'hat', 'god' ])
  .takeUntil(x => x.match(/at/))
// List [ "dog", "frog" ]run it

Returns a new Collection of the same type with other values and collection-like concatenated to this one.

For Seqs, all entries will be present in the resulting Seq, even if they have the same key.

Flat-maps the Collection, returning a Collection of the same type.

Similar to collection.map(...).flatten(true). Used for Dictionaries only.

True if predicate returns true for all entries in the Collection.

True if predicate returns true for any entry in the Collection.

Joins values together as a string, inserting a separator between each. The default separator is ",".

Returns true if this Collection includes no values.

For some lazy Seq, isEmpty might need to iterate to determine emptiness. At most one iteration will occur.

Returns a Seq.Keyed of counts, grouped by the return value of the grouper function.

Note: This is not a lazy operation.

Returns the first value for which the predicate returns true.

Returns the last value for which the predicate returns true.

Note: predicate will be called for each entry in reverse.

Returns the last [key, value] entry for which the predicate returns true.

Note: predicate will be called for each entry in reverse.

Returns the key for which the predicate returns true.

Returns the last key for which the predicate returns true.

Note: predicate will be called for each entry in reverse.

Returns the key associated with the search value, or undefined.

Returns the last key associated with the search value, or undefined.

Returns the maximum value in this collection. If any values are comparatively equivalent, the first one found will be returned.

The comparator is used in the same way as Collection#sort. If it is not provided, the default comparator is >.

When two values are considered equivalent, the first encountered will be returned. Otherwise, max will operate independent of the order of input as long as the comparator is commutative. The default comparator > is commutative only when types do not differ.

If comparator returns 0 and either value is NaN, undefined, or null, that value will be returned.

Like max, but also accepts a comparatorValueMapper which allows for comparing by more sophisticated means:

const { List, } = require('immutable');
const l = List([
  { name: 'Bob', avgHit: 1 },
  { name: 'Max', avgHit: 3 },
  { name: 'Lili', avgHit: 2 } ,
]);
l.maxBy(i => i.avgHit); // will output { name: 'Max', avgHit: 3 }run it

Returns the minimum value in this collection. If any values are comparatively equivalent, the first one found will be returned.

The comparator is used in the same way as Collection#sort. If it is not provided, the default comparator is <.

When two values are considered equivalent, the first encountered will be returned. Otherwise, min will operate independent of the order of input as long as the comparator is commutative. The default comparator < is commutative only when types do not differ.

If comparator returns 0 and either value is NaN, undefined, or null, that value will be returned.

Like min, but also accepts a comparatorValueMapper which allows for comparing by more sophisticated means:

const { List, } = require('immutable');
const l = List([
  { name: 'Bob', avgHit: 1 },
  { name: 'Max', avgHit: 3 },
  { name: 'Lili', avgHit: 2 } ,
]);
l.minBy(i => i.avgHit); // will output { name: 'Bob', avgHit: 1 }run it

True if iter includes every value in this Collection.

True if this Collection includes every value in iter.
