set.reduceRight()

Reduce a Set to a single, accumulated value by applying a provided function to each element. Iterates through elements from right to left. Uses the first element as the initial value.

Signature

reduceRight(reducer: ((A, A) => A)) => A | Null

Description

Iterates through each element in a Set to perform a rolling operation. For example, you can use reduceRight() to calculate a rolling sum, concatenate elements, or perform complex transformations.

reduceRight() calls a reducer callback function on every element of the Set from right to left. The reducer function takes two arguments:

  • The accumulator that holds the running result from previous iterations. The last element in the Set serves as the initial accumulator.

  • The current element’s value.

The method returns the result of the last iteration. The calling Set isn’t changed.

Eager loading

This method uses eager loading and requires a read of each document in the calling Set. For large Sets, this may result in poor performance and high costs.

Fold family methods

FQL supports several methods for folds, which iteratively reduce a Set to a single value. These methods include:

The methods are similar but have the following differences:

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Description

reducer

Function

Yes

Anonymous FQL function to call on each element in the Set.

Reducer function parameters:

Parameter Type Required Description

accumulator

Generic

Yes

Value returned by the previous reducer function call. On the first call, seed is passed as the accumulator.

current

Generic

Yes

The current element’s value.

Return value

One of:

Type Description

Generic

Result of the last reducer function call.

Null

Returns Null if the calling Set is empty.

Examples

Reduce the Set item, right to left:

// `toSet()` converts an Array to a Set.
let set = [1, 2, 3].toSet()
set.reduceRight((acc, elem) => acc + elem)
