👔Iterable+ext

extends iterables with custom methods.

JS⟩ iteration ⟩ iterable ⟩ extension

extends iterables with methods such as filter, map, take, ... etc.

👉 custom

// ⭐️ check if iterable
array.isIterable,    // true
object.isIterable,   // false
(3).isIterable,      // false

// ⭐️ extended methods
'xyz'.forEach(x => log(x));    // x, y, z
'abc'.map(x=>x+2).array,       // [ 'a2', 'b2', 'c2' ]
'abcdefg'.take(4).array,       // [ 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd' ]
'abcd'.some(x => x > 'm'),     // false

// ⭐️ (closed) range
range(0, 3).map(x => x * 2).array,     // [0, 2, 4, 6]
range(0, 10).every(x => x < 10),       // false
