Work with sets and maps without friction in TypeScript

Patrick Smith — Product Developer & Design Engineer

• 🕸️ I’m working on Orb, a language for writing WebAssembly with Elixir, and other platform-agnostic WebAssembly demos at Calculated.World
• 💬 I’m fascinated by the intersection between user experience design, software engineering, and product strategy, all of which I talk about on my podcast Runtime Reverie.
• 🪺 I’ve written up my approach to building UIs at components.guide.
• 🌱 I’m enjoy creating with Elixir, WebAssembly, Rust, Deno, Cloudflare Workers, Golang, sharing thoughts with writing, and making video.
• 💡 I'm working on collected.press to create buildless sites and blogs. It’s what this site you are currently reading is built with. The content is fetched directly from a GitHub repo and then rendered on-the-fly on a CloudFlare edge server.

boxset's Issues

Rename source() to conform()

Allow passing any supported collection directly instead of wrapping with `source()`

Before:

union(source(firstSet), source(secondSet));

After:

union(firstSet, secondSet);

Add support for dataset

Make have same API as ReadonlySet and ReadonlyMap

Can drop in where these are used in apps.

Support Regex as source

Could provide tests (does this string pass this regex?) and matching (what elements match this regex?)

Add number sequences?

Work with numbers and string sets:

• Linear sequence
• Alphabet
• Alphanumeric
• Filter them (e.g. only odd numbers), intersect them.
• Lowercase to uppercase map

Add some() and every()

Prevents needing to convert collections to Arrays to get those methods.
