| 37 | +## Usage |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +```javascript |
| 40 | +var fifo = require( '@stdlib/dstructs/fifo' ); |
| 41 | +``` |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +#### fifo() |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +Returns a new first-in-first-out (FIFO) queue instance. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +```javascript |
| 48 | +var queue = fifo(); |
| 49 | +// returns <FIFO> |
| 50 | +``` |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +##### queue.clear() |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +Clears a queue. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +```javascript |
| 57 | +var queue = fifo(); |
| 58 | +// returns <FIFO> |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +// Add values to the queue: |
| 61 | +queue.push( 'foo' ).push( 'bar' ); |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +// Peek at the first value: |
| 64 | +var v = queue.first(); |
| 65 | +// returns 'foo' |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +// Examine the queue length: |
| 68 | +var len = queue.length; |
| 69 | +// returns 2 |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +// Clear all queue items: |
| 72 | +queue.clear(); |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +// Peek at the first value: |
| 75 | +v = queue.first(); |
| 76 | +// returns undefined |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +// Examine the queue length: |
| 79 | +len = queue.length; |
| 80 | +// returns 0 |
| 81 | +``` |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +##### queue.first() |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +Returns the "oldest" queue value (i.e., the value which is "first-out"). If the queue is currently empty, the returned value is `undefined`. |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +```javascript |
| 88 | +var queue = fifo(); |
| 89 | +// returns <FIFO> |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +// Add values to the queue: |
| 92 | +queue.push( 'foo' ).push( 'bar' ); |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +// Peek at the first value: |
| 95 | +var v = queue.first(); |
| 96 | +// returns 'foo' |
| 97 | +``` |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +##### queue.iterator() |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +Returns an iterator for iterating over a queue. If an environment supports `Symbol.iterator`, the returned iterator is iterable. |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +```javascript |
| 104 | +var queue = fifo(); |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +// Add values to the queue: |
| 107 | +queue.push( 'foo' ).push( 'bar' ); |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +// Create an iterator: |
| 110 | +var it = queue.iterator(); |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +// Iterate over the queue... |
| 113 | +var v = it.next().value; |
| 114 | +// returns 'foo' |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +v = it.next().value; |
| 117 | +// returns 'bar' |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +var bool = it.next().done; |
| 120 | +// returns true |
| 121 | +``` |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +**Note**: in order to prevent confusion arising from queue mutation during iteration, a returned iterator **always** iterates over a queue "snapshot", which is defined as the list of queue elements at the time of `queue.iterator()` invocation. |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +##### queue.last() |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +Returns the "newest" queue value (i.e., the value which is "last-out"). If the queue is currently empty, the returned value is `undefined`. |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +```javascript |
| 130 | +var queue = fifo(); |
| 131 | +// returns <FIFO> |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +// Add values to the queue: |
| 134 | +queue.push( 'foo' ).push( 'bar' ); |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +// Peek at the last value: |
| 137 | +var v = queue.last(); |
| 138 | +// returns 'bar' |
| 139 | +``` |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +##### queue.length |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +Queue length. |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +```javascript |
| 146 | +var queue = fifo(); |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +// Examine the initial queue length: |
| 149 | +var len = queue.length; |
| 150 | +// returns 0 |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +// Add values to the queue: |
| 153 | +queue.push( 'foo' ).push( 'bar' ); |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +// Retrieve the current queue length: |
| 156 | +len = queue.length; |
| 157 | +// returns 2 |
| 158 | +``` |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +##### queue.pop() |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +Removes a value from the queue. If the queue is currently empty, the returned value is `undefined`. |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +```javascript |
| 165 | +var queue = fifo(); |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +// Add values to the queue: |
| 168 | +queue.push( 'foo' ).push( 'bar' ); |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | +// Remove the first value: |
| 171 | +var v = queue.pop(); |
| 172 | +// returns 'foo' |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | +// Add a new value to the queue: |
| 175 | +queue.push( 'beep' ); |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | +// Remove the "oldest" queue value: |
| 178 | +v = queue.pop(); |
| 179 | +// returns 'bar' |
| 180 | +``` |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | +##### queue.push( value ) |
| 183 | + |
| 184 | +Adds a value to the queue. |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | +```javascript |
| 187 | +var queue = fifo(); |
| 188 | + |
| 189 | +// Add values to the queue: |
| 190 | +queue.push( 'foo' ).push( 'bar' ); |
| 191 | + |
| 192 | +// Remove the first value: |
| 193 | +var v = queue.pop(); |
| 194 | +// returns 'foo' |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +// Add a new value to the queue: |
| 197 | +queue.push( 'beep' ); |
| 198 | + |
| 199 | +// Remove the "oldest" queue value: |
| 200 | +v = queue.pop(); |
| 201 | +// returns 'bar' |
| 202 | +``` |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | +##### queue.toArray() |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | +Returns an array of queue values. |
| 207 | + |
| 208 | +```javascript |
| 209 | +var queue = fifo(); |
| 210 | + |
| 211 | +// Add values to the queue: |
| 212 | +queue.push( 'foo' ).push( 'bar' ); |
| 213 | + |
| 214 | +// Get an array of queue values: |
| 215 | +var vals = queue.toArray(); |
| 216 | +// returns [ 'foo', 'bar' ] |
| 217 | +``` |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +##### queue.toJSON() |
| 220 | + |
| 221 | +Serializes a queue as JSON. |
| 222 | + |
| 223 | +```javascript |
| 224 | +var queue = fifo(); |
| 225 | + |
| 226 | +// Add values to the queue: |
| 227 | +queue.push( 'foo' ).push( 'bar' ); |
| 228 | + |
| 229 | +// Serialize to JSON: |
| 230 | +var o = queue.toJSON(); |
| 231 | +// returns { 'type': 'fifo', 'data': [ 'foo', 'bar' ] } |
| 232 | +``` |
| 233 | + |
| 234 | +**Note**: `JSON.stringify()` implicitly calls this method when stringifying a queue instance. |
