# HashMap Class for JavaScript

## Installation

[![NPM](https://nodei.co/npm/hashmap.png?compact=true)](https://npmjs.org/package/hashmap)

Using [npm](https://npmjs.org/package/hashmap):

    $ npm install hashmap

Using bower:

    $ bower install hashmap

You can download the last stable version from the [releases page](https://github.com/flesler/hashmap/releases).

If you like risk, you can download the [latest master version](https://raw.github.com/flesler/hashmap/master/hashmap.js), it's usually stable.

To run the tests:

    $ npm test

## Description

This project provides a `HashMap` class that works both on __Node.js__ and the __browser__.
HashMap instances __store key/value pairs__ allowing __keys of any type__.

Unlike regular objects, __keys will not be stringified__. For example numbers and strings won't be mixed, you can pass `Date`'s, `RegExp`'s, DOM Elements, anything! (even `null` and `undefined`)

## HashMap constructor overloads
- `new HashMap()` creates an empty hashmap
- `new HashMap(map:HashMap)` creates a hashmap with the key-value pairs of `map`
- `new HashMap(key:*, value:*, key2:*, value2:*, ...)` creates a hashmap with several key-value pairs

## HashMap methods

- `get(key:*) : *` returns the value stored for that key.
- `set(key:*, value:*) : HashMap` stores a key-value pair
- `multi(key:*, value:*, key2:*, value2:*, ...) : HashMap` stores several key-value pairs
- `copy(other:HashMap) : HashMap` copies all key-value pairs from other to this instance
- `has(key:*) : Boolean` returns whether a key is set on the hashmap
- `search(value:*) : *` returns key under which given value is stored (`null` if not found)
- `remove(key:*) : HashMap` deletes a key-value pair by key
- `type(key:*) : String` returns the data type of the provided key (used internally)
- `keys() : Array<*>` returns an array with all the registered keys
- `values() : Array<*>` returns an array with all the values
- `count() : Number` returns the amount of key-value pairs
- `clear() : HashMap` removes all the key-value pairs on the hashmap
- `clone() : HashMap` creates a new hashmap with all the key-value pairs of the original
- `hash(key:*) : String` returns the stringified version of a key (used internally)
- `forEach(function(value, key)) : HashMap` iterates the pairs and calls the function for each one

### Method chaining

All methods that don't return something, will return the HashMap instance to enable chaining.

## Examples

Assume this for all examples below

```js
var map = new HashMap();
```

If you're using this within Node, you first need to import the class

```js
var HashMap = require('hashmap');
```

### Basic use case

```js
map.set("some_key", "some value");
map.get("some_key"); // --> "some value"
```
### No stringification

```js
map.set("1", "string one");
map.set(1, "number one");
map.get("1"); // --> "string one"
```

A regular `Object` used as a map would yield `"number one"`

### Objects as keys

```js
var key = {};
var key2 = {};
map.set(key, 123);
map.set(key2, 321);
map.get(key); // --> 123
```
A regular `Object` used as a map would yield `321`

### Iterating

```js
map.set(1, "test 1");
map.set(2, "test 2");
map.set(3, "test 3");

map.forEach(function(value, key) {
    console.log(key + " : " + value);
});
```

### Method chaining

```js
map
  .set(1, "test 1")
  .set(2, "test 2")
  .set(3, "test 3")
  .forEach(function(value, key) {
      console.log(key + " : " + value);
  });
```

## To-Do

* (?) Allow extending the hashing function in a AOP way or by passing a service
* Make tests work on the browser
