Turbo Array: Supercharge Your JavaScript Array Operations 🚀

Handling large arrays in JavaScript can sometimes feel sluggish. Methods like .map(), .filter(), some(), every() and .reduce() are powerful but can be inefficient when chained together. What if we could optimize them for performance? Meet Turbo Array, a library designed to supercharge array operations by reducing function calls and optimizing execution under the hood. ⚡

🔥 The Problem: Chained Array Methods Are Slow

When you chain multiple array methods, JavaScript loops through the array multiple times:

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; const result = numbers .filter(n => n % 2 === 0) // Iterates once .map(n => n * 2); // Iterates again console.log(result); // [4, 8] 

Each method (.filter(), .map()) creates a new intermediate array, leading to extra memory usage and repeated iterations. Turbo Array solves this by fusing operations into a single optimized function.

🚀 Meet Turbo Array

Turbo Array compiles the entire transformation pipeline into a single efficient function, avoiding unnecessary iterations:

import { turbo } from 'turbo-array'; const turboFn = turbo() .filter(n => n % 2 === 0) .map(n => n * 2) .build(); const result = turboFn([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]); console.log(result); // [4, 8] 

💡 What happens behind the scenes? Instead of looping twice, Turbo Array merges the operations into one optimized function, reducing overhead and boosting performance.

⚡ Performance Boost: How Fast Is It?

Benchmarks show significant speed improvements for large arrays. A simple .filter().map() chain runs 2-5x faster compared to native JavaScript methods.
