🔧 Turbo Array: Supercharge Your JavaScript Array Operations 🚀

Handling large arrays in JavaScript can sometimes feel sluggish. Methods like .map()
, .filter()
, some()
, every()
and .reduce()
are powerful but can be inefficient when chained together. What if we could optimize them for performance? Meet Turbo Array, a library designed to supercharge array operations by reducing function calls and optimizing execution under the hood. ⚡
🔥 The Problem: Chained Array Methods Are Slow
When you chain multiple array methods, JavaScript loops through the array multiple times:
const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
const result = numbers
.filter(n => n % 2 === 0) // Iterates once
.map(n => n * 2); // Iterates again
console.log(result); // [4, 8]
Each method (.filter()
, .map()
) creates a new intermediate array, leading to extra memory usage and repeated iterations. Turbo Array solves this by fusing operations into a single optimized function.
🚀 Meet Turbo Array
Turbo Array compiles the entire transformation pipeline into a single efficient function, avoiding unnecessary iterations:
import { turbo } from 'turbo-array';
const turboFn = turbo()
.filter(n => n % 2 === 0)
.map(n => n * 2)
.build();
const result = turboFn([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
console.log(result); // [4, 8]
💡 What happens behind the scenes? Instead of looping twice, Turbo Array merges the operations into one optimized function, reducing overhead and boosting performance.
⚡ Performance Boost: How Fast Is It?
Benchmarks show significant speed improvements for large arrays. A simple .filter().map()
chain runs 2-5x faster compared to native JavaScript methods.
