The aim of dataseries.js is to provide a lightweight and intuitive interface for modeling data series.

Applications

Generate test vectors for automated software tests
Generate data series for data visualization prototyping
Assess the robustness and edge-case behavior of data visualizations

Features

Data generation by sophisticated generators
Data filtering by applying predicate functions
Data transformation to produce custom data structures
and much more

Usage

Generate data series from ranges

ds.range(2);
// => [0, 1, 2]

ds.range(-2, 2);
// => [-2, -1, 0, 1, 2]

ds.range(0, 2, 0.5);
// => [0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2]

Generate data series from functions y = f(x)

ds.generators.f(ds.functions.linear, { a: 2, b: 1 })
  .inputs(ds.range(2))
  .values();
// f(x) = 2·x + 1 for x in [0, 1, 2] => [1, 3, 5]

ds.generators.f(ds.functions.exp, { a: 2 })
  .inputs(ds.range(2))
  .values();
// f(x) = 2ˣ for x in [0, 1, 2] => [1, 2, 4]

Filter data series using predicate functions

ds.generators.f(ds.functions.identity)
  .inputs(ds.range(-2, 2))
  .filter(ds.predicates.isPositiveNumber)
  .values();
// => [0, 1, 2]

Transform data series using transform functions

ds.generators.f(ds.functions.identity)
  .inputs(ds.range(-2, 2))
  .transform(function(y, x, i) {
      return y >= 0 ? y : null;
  })
  .values();
// => [null, null, 0, 1, 2]

ds.generators.f(ds.functions.identity)
  .inputs(ds.range(2))
  .transform(ds.transforms.point)
  .values();
// => [{x: 0, y: 0}, {x: 1, y: 1}, {x: 2, y: 2}]

Arbitrarily process data series

ds.generators.f(ds.functions.identity)
  .inputs(ds.range(2))
  .call(ds.normalize)
  .values();
// => [0, 0.5, 1]

ds.generators.f(ds.functions.identity)
  .inputs(ds.range(2))
  .transform(ds.transforms.point)
  .call(ds.normalize, 0, 1, 'y')
  .values();
// => [{x: 0, y: 0}, {x: 1, y: 0.5}, {x: 2, y: 1}]

Configure a time dimension on a data series generator

ds.generators.f(ds.functions.identity)
  .inputs(ds.range(2))
  .time(new Date(2013, 0, 1), ds.time.DAY)
  .transform(ds.transforms.point)
  .values();
// => [{x: new Date(2013, 0, 1), y: 0},
//     {x: new Date(2013, 0, 2), y: 1},
//     {x: new Date(2013, 0, 3), y: 2}]
