Implementation of an OrderedDict data structure.

Adict – Ordered Dictionary

OrderedDict is a data structure that preservers order of inserted keys. And is a sub-class of a regular object/dictionary. In addition it provides couple of convenient methods to push elements to start or end of a dict.

As an example: this data structure can be used to implement LRU-cache.

let OrderedDict = require("adict");

let dict = new OrderedDict();

dict.set(1, 2);

• Small 593b min and gzip
• Zero dependencies
• O(1) runtime complexity for all operations

API

OrderedDict()

OrderedDict is a data structure that preservers order of inserted keys. And is a sub-class of a regular object/dictionary. Implementation is inspired by python's OrderedDict and this particular gist: https://gist.github.com/joequery/12332f410a05e6c7c949
