# @rimbu/table

A `Table` is an immutable 2-dimensional Map, containing row keys and column keys, where a combination of a row and column key can contain one value.

This package exports the following main types:

| Name                    | Description                                                         |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Table<R, C, V>`        | a generic `Table` with row keys R, column keys C, and values V      |
| `VariantTable<R, C, V>` | a type-variant `Table` with row keys R, column keys C, and values V |

## Installation

### Compabitity

- [`Node >= 16` ![NodeJS](https://img.shields.io/badge/node.js-6DA55F?logo=node.js&logoColor=white)](https://nodejs.org)
- [`Deno` ![Deno JS](https://img.shields.io/badge/deno%20js-000000?logo=deno&logoColor=white)](https://deno.com/runtime)
- [`Bun >= 0.6.0` ![Bun](https://img.shields.io/badge/Bun-%23000000.svg?logoColor=white)](https://bun.sh/)
- `Web` ![HTML5](https://img.shields.io/badge/html5-%23E34F26.svg?logoColor=white)

### 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/table`

For `npm`:

> `npm i @rimbu/table`

For `bun`:

> `bun add @rimbu/table`

### 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`
