Question 1

Is Quetie faster than using JavaScript arrays for queue operations?

Accepted Answer

Quetie is optimized for queue-specific operations with amortized O(1) complexity, while arrays can have O(n) shifts. For pure FIFO/LIFO tasks, Quetie is likely more performant, but always benchmark for your specific use case to confirm.

Question 2

How to use Quetie with TypeScript?

Accepted Answer

Quetie includes TypeScript definitions, so you can import it directly in TypeScript projects. The type definitions are available in the source, providing full type safety for queue and deque operations as mentioned in the README.

Question 3

Can I implement a priority queue with Quetie?

Accepted Answer

No, Quetie only provides standard queue and deque structures. For priority queues, you'd need to extend it or use a different library that supports custom comparators or heap implementations, as it lacks such features.

Question 4

Quetie vs other queue libraries like 'yocto-queue'?

Accepted Answer

Quetie and yocto-queue are both minimal queue libraries. Quetie adds deque support and is slightly smaller at ~360 bytes, but yocto-queue might have different performance trade-offs. Compare based on your specific needs for features, size, and compatibility.

Question 5

How to save and load a queue state in Quetie?

Accepted Answer

Quetie doesn't have built-in serialization. You can save the queue by converting it to an array using spread syntax ([...queue]) and restore it by pushing elements back, which requires manual implementation for persistence.

Question 6

Does Quetie work in Node.js environments?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Quetie is a JavaScript library that works in both Node.js and browser environments. Install it via npm and import it as shown in the README examples, making it versatile for various runtime settings.
