array_

Conversion of JavaScript's Array methods to AutoHotkey

AHK supports functors but no built in functions for functional style operations. Funky. JavaScript's Array object has some nice methods; so I stole them.

Since AHK is also prototypical in nature, these could have been added to a base object. But that didn't happen for simplicities sake, they are all prefixed with array_.

Stolen Methods

• concat
• every
• fill
• filter
• find
• findIndex
• forEach
• includes
• indexOf
• join
• lastIndexOf
• map
• reduce
• reduceRight
• reverse
• shift
• slice
• some
• splice
• toString
• unshift

Sort?

Considered implementing a array_sort quicksort; but currently no immediate need.

Tests

Nothing is truely complete without testing, so each array_ has a test case file in the tests/ directory.

Built a few primitive test classes to collect test cases. Management of this test class is located in testrunner.ahk. Results are output to an edit control in a new window.

Sample of test runner results:
