# digital tree

A trie data structure implementation.

- thorough testing
- utility: clonable and serializable (to/from json)
- search values by prefix

## Install

npm install --save digital-tree

***version 2.0.0 is almost a complete rewrite and mostly not backwards compatible***

## API

### create() / Ctor

using `create()`` is the recommended way to construct new digital trees:

```javascript
    const Trie = require('digital-tree')
    const trie = Trie.create()
```

### put(key, value)

Put something in the tree

```javascript
    trie.put(['a', 'path', 'to'], 'something')
    trie.put(['another', 'thing']) // equivalent to trie.put(['another', 'thing'], true)
    trie.put('strings also', 'work') // equivalent to trie.put('strings also'.split(''), 'work')
    
    // ** this only work with the exact key (reference) **
    const objectKey = [{ foo: 'bar' }, { bar: 'foo'}]
    trie.put(objectKey, { some: 'thing'})
```

### get(key)

Get something from the tree

```javascript
    const trie = Trie.create()
    trie.put(['a', 'path', 'to'], 'v1')
    trie.put('also strings', 'v2')

console.log(trie.get([])) // prints 'foo'
    console.log(trie.get(Trie.root)) // prints 'foo'
    console.log(trie.get(['a', 'path', 'to'])) // prints 'v1'
    console.log(trie.get('also strings')) // prints 'v2'
```

### Iteration

A trie is iterable. Iteration order is either [DFS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth-first_search) or [BFS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadth-first_search)

```javascript
    const Trie = require('digital-tree')
    const trie = Trie.create()
    trie.put('abc', 1)
    trie.put('abd', 2)
    trie.put('abe', 3)

for (let value of trie) {

}
```

### search(prefix)

Search and return all the values in the tree that are nested under the provided `prefix`.

The results will be an Iterator over the matching values. The order of iteration is defined based on the default ordering of the trie (BFS/DFS)

```javascript
    const trie = Trie.create()
    trie.put('abc', 1)
    trie.put('abd', 2)
    trie.put('abe', 3)

console.log(Array.from(trie.search('ab'))) // prints [ 3, 2, 1 ]
    console.log(Array.from(trie.search('ab', { includeKeys: true }))) // prints [ [['a','b','e'], 3 ], [['a','b','d'], 2], [['a','b','c'], 1] ]
```

### getSubTrie(key, [shallow=false])

Obtain either a cloned, or shallow copy of a subtree.

```javascript
trie.put('abc', 1)
trie.put('abd', 2)

const subTrie = trie.getSubTrie('ab')

console.log(subTrie.get('c')) // prints 1
console.log(subTrie.get('d')) // prints 2
console.log(subTrie.get('ab')) // prints undefined
```
*setting `shallow` to `true` will create a view rather than cloning the sub trie*

### remove(key)

Remove something from the tree. This will remove the entire subtree that exists under this specified key and return it
as a new trie.

```javascript
    trie.put(['a', 'b'], 'ab')
    trie.put(['a', 'b', 'c'], 'abc')
    trie.put(['a', 'b', 'c', 1], 'abc1')
    trie.put(['a', 'b', 'c', 2], 'abc2')

const removed = trie.remove(['a', 'b', 'c'])
    
    console.log(removed.get([1])) // prints 'abc1'
    console.log(removed.get([2])) // prints 'abc2'

console.log(trie.get(['a', 'b', 'c', 1])) // prints 'undefined'
    console.log(trie.get(['a', 'b'])) // prints 'ab'
```
