				# sorted-array-functions
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Maintain and search through a sorted array using some low level functions
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
npm install sorted-array-functions
 | 
						|
```

## Usage
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
``` js
 | 
						|
var sorted = require('sorted-array-functions')
 | 
						|
var list = []
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
sorted.add(list, 1)
 | 
						|
sorted.add(list, 4)
 | 
						|
sorted.add(list, 2)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
console.log(list) // prints out [1, 2, 4]
 | 
						|
console.log(sorted.has(list, 2)) // returns true
 | 
						|
console.log(sorted.has(list, 3)) // returns false
 | 
						|
console.log(sorted.eq(list, 2)) // returns 1 (the index)
 | 
						|
console.log(sorted.gt(list, 2)) // returns 2
 | 
						|
console.log(sorted.gt(list, 4)) // returns -1
 | 
						|
```

## API
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### `sorted.add(list, value, [compare])`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Insert a new value into the list sorted.
 | 
						|
Optionally you can use a custom compare function that returns, `compare(a, b)` that returns 1 if `a > b`, 0 if `a === b` and -1 if `a < b`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### `sorted.addFromFront(list, value, [compare])`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Inserts a new value (same result as `sorted.add()`) optimized for prepend.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### `var bool = sorted.remove(list, value, [compare])`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Remove a value. Returns true if the value was in the list.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### `var bool = sorted.has(list, value, [compare])`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Check if a value is in the list.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### `var index = sorted.eq(list, value, [compare])`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Get the index of a value in the list (uses binary search).
 | 
						|
If the value could not be found -1 is returned.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### `var index = sorted.gte(list, value, [compare])`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Get the index of the first value that is `>=`.
 | 
						|
If the value could not be found -1 is returned.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### `var index = sorted.gt(list, value, [compare])`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Get the index of the first value that is `>`.
 | 
						|
If the value could not be found -1 is returned.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### `var index = sorted.lte(list, value, [compare])`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Get the index of the first value that is `<=`.
 | 
						|
If the value could not be found -1 is returned.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### `var index = sorted.lt(list, value, [compare])`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Get the index of the first value that is `<`.
 | 
						|
If the value could not be found -1 is returned.
