The package **@flatten-js/interval-tree** is an implementation of interval binary search tree according to Cormen et al. Introduction to Algorithms (2009, Section 14.3: Interval trees, pp. 348–354).
Cormen shows that insertion, deletion of nodes and range queries take *O(log(n))* time where n is the number of items
stored in the tree.
This package is a part of [flatten-js](https://github.com/alexbol99/flatten-js) library.
An earlier implementation, in package [flatten-interval-tree](https://www.npmjs.com/package/flatten-interval-tree), is no longer supported and will be deprecated soon.
Please use this package ([@flatten-js/interval-tree](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@flatten-js/interval-tree)) instead.

## Installation
```bash
npm install --save @flatten-js/interval-tree
```
## Usage
```javascript
import IntervalTree from '@flatten-js/interval-tree'
```
### Notes
Tree stores pairs `````` where key is an interval, and value is an object of any type.
If value omitted, tree stores only keys.
In a `````` tree none of the ```value``` can be
```undefined```.
Interval can be simply a pair of numbers or it can be
a user-defined object that implements ```IntervalInterface``` described in
typescript declaration file ```index.d.ts```.
Axis aligned rectangle is an example of such interval.
We may look at rectangle as an interval between its low left and top right corners.
See **Box** class in [flatten-js](https://github.com/alexbol99/flatten-js) library as an example
of ```IntervalInterface``` implementation.
### Example
```javascript
let tree = new IntervalTree();
let intervals = [[6,8],[1,4],[5,12],[1,1],[5,7]];
// Insert interval as a key and string "val0", "val1" etc. as a value
for (let i=0; i < intervals.length; i++) {
tree.insert(intervals[i],"val"+i);
}
// Get array of keys sorted in ascendant order
let sorted_intervals = tree.keys; // expected array [[1,1],[1,4],[5,7],[5,12],[6,8]]
// Search items which keys intersect with given interval, and return array of values
let values_in_range = tree.search([2,3]); // expected array ['val1']
```
### Constructor
Create new instance of interval tree
```javascript
let tree = new IntervalTree()
```
### Insert(key[, value])
Insert new item into the tree. Key is an interval object or pair of numbers [low, high].
Value may represent any value or reference to any object. If value omitted, tree will store and retrieve keys as values.
Method returns reference to the inserted node
```javascript
let node = tree.insert(key, value)
```
### Exist(key,value)
Method returns true if item {key, value} exists in the tree.
Method may be useful if need to support unique items.
```javascript
let exist = tree.exist(key, value)
```
### Remove(key, value)
Removes item from the tree. Returns true if item was actually deleted, false if not found
```javascript
let removed = tree.remove(key, value)
```
### Search(interval[, outputMapperFn])
Returns array of values which keys intersected with given interval.
```javascript
let resp = tree.search(interval)
```
Optional *outputMapperFn(value, key)* enables to map search results into custom defined output.
Example:
```javascript
const composers = [
{name: "Ludwig van Beethoven", period: [1770, 1827]},
{name: "Johann Sebastian Bach", period: [1685, 1750]},
{name: "Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart", period: [1756, 1791]},
{name: "Johannes Brahms", period: [1833, 1897]},
{name: "Richard Wagner", period: [1813, 1883]},
{name: "Claude Debussy", period: [1862, 1918]},
{name: "Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky", period: [1840, 1893]},
{name: "Frédéric Chopin", period: [1810, 1849]},
{name: "Joseph Haydn", period: [1732, 1809]},
{name: "Antonio Vivaldi", period: [1678, 1741]}
];
const tree = new IntervalTree();
for (let composer of composers)
tree.insert(composer.period, composer.name);
// Great composers who lived in 17th century
const searchRes = tree.search( [1600,1700],
(name, period) => {return `${name} (${period.low}-${period.high})`});
console.log(searchRes)
// expected to be
// [ 'Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741)', 'Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)' ]
```
### Intersect_any(interval)
Returns true if intersection between given and any interval stored in the tree found
```javascript
let found = tree.intersect_any(interval)
```
### Size
Returns number of items stored in the tree (getter)
```javascript
let size = tree.size
```
### Keys
Returns tree keys in ascendant order (getter)
```javascript
let keys = tree.keys
```
### Values
Returns tree values in ascendant keys order (getter)
```javascript
let values = tree.values
```
### Items
Returns items in ascendant keys order (getter)
```javascript
let items = tree.items
```
### ForEach(visitor)
Enables to traverse the whole tree and perform operation for each item
```javascript
tree.forEach( (key, value) => console.log(value) )
```
### Map(callback)
Creates new tree with same keys using callback to transform (key,value) to a new value
```javascript
let tree1 = tree.map((value, key) => (key.high-key.low))
```
### Clear()
Clear tree
```javascript
tree.clear()
```
