Read the project’s introduction
mori A simple bridge to ClojureScript's persistent data structures and supporting APIs for vanilla JavaScript. Pull requests welcome. Breaking changes in 0.3.0 The API now uses idiomatic JavaScript naming conventions. Improvements to 0.3.0 Faster Mori is considerably faster across the board thanks to recent enhancements to the ClojureScript compiler. For users who would like to benchmark their immutable data structure implementations against Mori, Mori now exposes direct arity invokes which eliminates previous calling overheads from arity dispatching. See Benchmarking for more information. Mori hash maps now default to ClojureScript ArrayMaps that are automatically promoted to PersistentHashMaps as needed. ArrayMaps deliver considerably better performance at small sizes and when simple keys are at play. For example a Mori hash map with less than or equal to eight keys can now be built nearly an order of magnitude faster than Immutable.js 3.6.2 Maps. More ES6 All Mori collections support ES6 iteration via foo[Symbol.iterator] or foo["@@iterator"]. Differences from Immutable.js A functional API, data structures do not have public methods Faster, ClojureScript data structures have been subjected to more real world usage and continuous benchmarking for nearly 4 years Larger, gzipped the base Mori module is about 6K larger than Immutable.js Getting it You can install the latest release via npm: npm install mori The installed package contains a single optimized JavaScript file mori.js. Load mori in your Node.js programs as you would any other module: var mori = require("mori"); In a browser, you can load mori with a script tag, as you would any other JavaScript library: <script src="mori.js" type="text/javascript"></script> You can also load it as an AMD module, e.g. with RequireJS. Usage You can use it from your projects like so: var inc = function(n) { return n+1; }; mori.intoArray(mori.map(inc, mori.vector(1,2,3,4,5))); // => [2,3,4,5,6] Efficient non-destructive updates! var v1 = mori.vector(1,2,3); var v2 = mori.conj(v1, 4); v1.toString(); // => '[1 2 3]' v2.toString(); // => '[1 2 3 4]' var sum = function(a, b) { return a + b; }; mori.reduce(sum, mori.vector(1, 2, 3, 4)); // => 10 Lazy sequences! var _ = mori; _.intoArray(_.interpose("foo", _.vector(1, 2, 3, 4))); // => [1, "foo", 2, "foo", 3, "foo", 4] Or if it's more your speed, use it from CoffeeScript! inc = (x) -> x+1 r = mori.map inc, mori.vector(1,2,3,4,5) mori.intoArray r Documentation You can find extensive documentation and examples here. More Examples Efficient Freeze/Thaw For vectors and maps we provide an efficient thaw and freeze operations: var m = mori; // ~220ms with V8 version 3.29.80 MBP 2.26ghz for(var j = 0; j < 10; j++) { var s = new Date(); var arr = []; for(var i = 0; i < 10000000; i++) { arr.push(i); } print("Array push " + arr.length + " items " + ((new Date())-s)); gc(); } // ~70ms for(var j = 0; j < 10; j++) { s = new Date(); var mv = m._thaw(m.vector()); for(var i = 0; i < 10000000; i++) { mv = m._conj.f2(mv, i); } var v = m._freeze(mv); print("Mutable vector conj " + m.count(v) + " items " + ((new Date())-s)); gc(); } ES6 Map/Set inspired interfaces All Mori maps and sets support all the non-mutating methods of the proposed ES6 Map and Set interfaces. The main difference with the spec is that key lookup is based on value not reference. keys, values, and entries methods return the proposed mutable iterators: var m = mori; var h = m.hashMap("foo", 1, "bar", 2); h.has("foo"); // => true h.get("foo"); // => 1 var iter = h.keys(); iter.next(); // => {done: false, value: "foo"} This feature is subject to changes in the ES6 proposal. Transducers Mori includes Transducers. Zero allocation collection operations FTW: var m = mori; var a = []; for(var i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) { a.push(i); } // make it immutable var v = m.into(m.vector(), a); function time(f) { var s = new Date(); f(); console.log(((new Date())-s)+"ms"); } // ~190ms V8 version 3.29.80 MBP 2.26ghz time(function() { var xf = m.comp(m.map(m.inc), m.map(m.inc), m.map(m.inc)); return m.transduce(xf, m.completing(m.sum), 0, v); }, 10); // ~440ms time(function() { return a.map(m.inc).map(m.inc).map(m.inc).reduce(function(a,b){return a+b;}, 0); }, 10); Build Prerequisites You will first need to install the Java SDK, if it's not already installed on your system. On Windows, you will need to manually install Leiningen. On UNIX-like systems, Leiningen will be installed within the project automatically if the lein executable is not found on your path or if your lein version predates 2.0.0. Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/swannodette/mori.git cd mori On a UNIX-like system build with ./scripts/build.sh Alternatively using npm npm run-script build On Windows ./scripts/build.ps1 The build process will generate an optimized JavaScript file mori.js, which is suitable for use with Node.js, or in a Web browser or other JavaScript environments. You can also load it as an AMD module. Copyright (C) 2012-2015 David Nolen and contributors Distributed under the Eclipse Public License, the same as Clojure.

What Hacker News says

I've been playing around with getting Mori[0] more js-like, from more idiomatic function names and argument order (fn as the last argument, released) to playing around with a chaining API. Ideally we should be able to wrap javascript values, manipulate via idiomatic chaining (similar to Lodash), while getting most of the benefits from highly-tuned persistent data structures, lazy sequences, etc. e.g. expect(_([1,1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5,6,6]).distinct().conj(7).out()).toEqual([1,2,3,4,5,6,7]); Here's a small set of specs showing early ideas https://github.com/swannodette/mori/blob/8e82b15b35b2989d4a2...
