# @rimbu/common
This package exports common types and objects used in many other Rimbu packages.
Here is a brief overview:
| Name | Description |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `CollectFun` | types and values used in various `collect` methods in the collection. |
| `Comp` | an interface and default implementations of comparison functions to order/sort values. |
| `Eq` | an interface and default implementations of equality functions to check value equality |
| `Err` | functions to easily create error throwing behavior as fallback values |
| `FastIterable` | an `Iterable` implementation that can be more performant than usual iterables |
| `IndexRange` | utilities to select index ranges in indexed collections |
| `OptLazy` | a utility to provide values that can optionally be lazy |
| `Range` | utility types to specify ranges for comparable types |
| `Reducer` | an API to create reusable pieces of logic that process streams of data that can be processed in parallel |
| `TraverseState` | a utility for loops to maintain the traversal state |
| `Update` | a standard way to update a value |
Other than these values, there are a number of utility types that are exported that are also used throughout the collection.

## Installation
### Compabitity
- [`Node >= 16` ](https://nodejs.org)
- [`Deno` ](https://deno.com/runtime)
- [`Bun >= 0.6.0` ](https://bun.sh/)
- `Web` 
### Yarn / NPM / Bun
For convenience, all main types are also exported through [`@rimbu/core`](../core).
To install this package only:
For `yarn`:
> `yarn add @rimbu/common`
For `npm`:
> `npm i @rimbu/common`
For `bun`:
> `bun add @rimbu/common`
### Deno
For Deno, the following approach is recommended:
In the root folder of your project, create or edit a file called `import_map.json` with the following contents (where you should replace `x.y.z` with the desired version of Rimbu):
```json
{
"imports": {
"@rimbu/": "https://deno.land/x/rimbu@x.y.z/"
}
}
```
**Note: The trailing slashes are important!**
In this way you can use relative imports from Rimbu in your code, like so:
```ts
import { List } from '@rimbu/core/mod.ts';
import { HashMap } from '@rimbu/hashed/mod.ts';
```
Note that for sub-packages, due to conversion limitations it is needed to import the `index.ts` instead of `mod.ts`, like so:
```ts
import { HashMap } from '@rimbu/hashed/map/index.ts';
```
To run your script (let's assume the entry point is in `src/main.ts`):
`deno run --import-map import_map.json src/main.ts`
## Usage
```ts
import { Eq } from '@rimbu/common';
console.log(Eq.stringCaseInsentitive()('abc', 'AbC'));
// => true
```
