# | Filter Extensions
# 
# This module implements extensions to the `filters` commands.
#
# They are prefixed with `iter` so as to avoid conflicts with the inbuilt filters.

# Returns the first element of the list that matches the closure predicate, `null` otherwise
#
# # Invariant
#
# The closure must be a predicate (returning a bool value), otherwise `null` is returned.
# The closure also has to be valid for the types it receives.
# These will be flagged as errors later as closure annotations are implemented.
@example "Find an element starting with 'a'" {
    ["shell", "abc", "around", "nushell", "std"] | iter find {|e| $e starts-with "a" }
} --result "abc"
@example "Try to find an even element" { ["shell", "abc", "around", "nushell", "std"] | iter find {|e| $e mod 2 == 0} } --result null
export def find [
    fn: closure # the closure used to perform the search 
]: [
    list -> any
    range -> oneof<number, nothing>
] {
    where {|e| try {do $fn $e} } | first
}

# Returns the index of the first element that matches the predicate, or `null` if none
@example "Find the index of an element starting with 's'" {
    ["iter", "abc", "shell", "around", "nushell", "std"] | iter find-index {|x| $x starts-with 's'}
} --result 2
@example "Try to find the index of an even element" {
    [3 5 13 91] | iter find-index {|x| $x mod 2 == 0}
} --result -1
export def find-index [
    fn: closure # the closure used to perform the search
]: [
    list -> oneof<int, nothing>
    range -> oneof<int, nothing>
] {
    enumerate
    | find {|e| $e.item | do $fn $e.item }
    | try { get index }
}

# Returns a new list with the separator between adjacent items of the original list
@example "Intersperse the list with `0`" {
    [1 2 3 4] | iter intersperse 0
} --result [1 0 2 0 3 0 4]
export def intersperse [
    separator: any # the separator to be used
]: [
    list -> list
    range -> list

# Returns a list of intermediate steps performed by `reduce` (`fold`).
#
# It takes two arguments:
# * an initial value to seed the initial state
# * a closure that takes two arguments
#   1. the list element in the current iteration
#   2. the internal state
#
# The internal state is also provided as pipeline input.
@example "Get a running sum of the input list." {
    [1 2 3] | iter scan {|x, y| $x + $y}
} --result [1, 3, 6]
@example "Append items to a list one at a time and receive all steps." {
    [1 2 3] | iter scan --fold [] {|e, acc| $acc ++ [$e]}
} --result [[], [1], [1, 2], [1, 2, 3]]

# Returns a list of values for which the supplied closure does not return `null` or an error.

# This is equivalent to
