linq.js - LINQ for JavaScript

Project Description
linq.js - LINQ for JavaScript

Features

• implement all .NET 4.0 methods and many extra methods (inspiration from Rx, Achiral, Haskell, Ruby, etc...)
• complete lazy evaluation
• full IntelliSense support for VisualStudio
• two versions - linq.js and jquery.linq.js (jQuery plugin)
• support Windows Script Host
• binding for Reactive Extensions for JavaScript(RxJS) and IntelliSense Generator -> see documentation
• NuGet install support(linq.js, linq.js-jQuery, linq.js-Bindings)

Query objects or json

• sample from http://twitter.com/statuses/public_timeline.json

var jsonArray = [
    { "user": { "id": 100, "screen_name": "d_linq" }, "text": "to objects" },
    { "user": { "id": 130, "screen_name": "c_bill" }, "text": "g" },
    { "user": { "id": 155, "screen_name": "b_mskk" }, "text": "kabushiki kaisha" },
    { "user": { "id": 301, "screen_name": "a_xbox" }, "text": "halo reach" }
]
// ["b_mskk:kabushiki kaisha", "c_bill:g", "d_linq:to objects"]
var queryResult = Enumerable.From(jsonArray)
    .Where(function (x) { return x.user.id < 200 })
    .OrderBy(function (x) { return x.user.screen_name })
    .Select(function (x) { return x.user.screen_name + ':' + x.text })
    .ToArray();
// shortcut! string lambda selector
var queryResult2 = Enumerable.From(jsonArray)
    .Where("$.user.id < 200")
    .OrderBy("$.user.screen_name")
    .Select("$.user.screen_name + ':' + $.text")
    .ToArray();

High compatibility with C# Linq

// C# LINQ (delegate)
Enumerable.Range(1, 10)
    .Where(delegate(int i) { return i % 3 == 0; })
    .Select(delegate(int i) { return i * 10; });
// linq.js - anonymous function
Enumerable.Range(1, 10)
    .Where(function(i) { return i % 3 == 0; })
    .Select(function(i) { return i * 10; });
// C# LINQ (lambda)
Enumerable.Range(1, 10).Where(i => i % 3 == 0).Select(i => i * 10);
// linq.js - lambda expression
Enumerable.Range(1, 10).Where("i => i % 3 == 0").Select("i => i * 10");
// $ is default iterator variable like Scala's "_" or Groovy's "it"
Enumerable.Range(1, 10).Where("$ % 3 == 0").Select("$ * 10");
 // "" is shorthand of "x => x" (identity function)
Enumerable.Range(4, 7).Join(Enumerable.Range(8, 5), "", "", "outer,inner=>outer*inner");

// Enumerable.From is wrap from primitive array, string(to charArray), object(to KeyValuePair[]) etc..
var array = [100, 200, 30, 40, 500, 40, 200];
var ex1 = Enumerable.From(array).Distinct().ToArray(); // [100, 200, 30, 40, 500]
var ex2 = Enumerable.From("foobar").ToArray(); // ["f", "o", "o", "b", "a", "r"];
var ex3 = Enumerable.From({foo:10, bar:20}).ToArray(); // [{Key:"foo",Value:10}, {Key:"bar",Value:20}]

// C# - AnonymousType
array.Select((val, i) => new { Value = val, Index = i });
// linq.js - object literal
Enumerable.From(array).Select("val,i=>{Value:val, Index:i}")

jQuery plugin version

// $.Enumerable
$.Enumerable.Range(1, 10).Where("$%2==0").ForEach("alert($)");

// TojQuery - Enumerable to jQuery
$.Enumerable.Range(1, 10)
    .Select(function (i) { return $("").text(i)[0] })
    .TojQuery()
    .appendTo("#select1");

// toEnumerable - jQuery to Enumerable
var sum = $("#select1").children()
    .toEnumerable()
    .Select("parseInt($.text())")
    .Sum(); // 55

// normally

// linq.js
var itemNames2 = Enumerable.From(dir.SubFolders).Concat(dir.Files).Select("$.Name").ToArray();
