@llselect/core/dist/grouping.d.ts

Low-level select: a minimal, flexible, framework-agnostic replacement for the native HTML select element.

/**
 * Stable-bucket `items` so that every group is contiguous, without touching
 * the caller's array.
 *
 * - Groups appear in order of each key's FIRST appearance.
 * - Within a group, items keep their relative order.
 * - Items whose key is `null` (ungrouped) form their own single-item segment
 *   at their walk position; they never merge.
 * - Already-contiguous input is detected in one scan and returned AS-IS (the
 *   input array itself, no copy); otherwise a new array is returned.
 *
 * This is exactly what `LLSelectBase` runs internally while the
 * `gatherGroups` setting is on (the default). Exported for callers who switch
 * `gatherGroups` off and gather once themselves (e.g. ahead of many
 * `setItems` calls on the same data).
 *
 * @param items - the item list to gather
 * @param itemToGroupKeyFn - item to group key; `null` = the item is in no group
 * @param groupKeyCompareFn - key equality; `null` / omitted = identity (`===`,
 *   plus `NaN` equals `NaN` - the rule the internal `Map` uses; same contract
 *   as the `groupKeyCompareFn` setting)
 * @group Grouping
