Immutable collections and tools for TypeScript

Rimbu is a TypeScript library focused on immutable, performant, and type-safe collections and more. It offers a powerful and efficient way to work with data in a safe and predictable manner. With Rimbu, you can easily create and manipulate collections of data, such as lists and maps, without the risk of accidentally modifying the original data. This not only ensures data integrity, but also makes it easier to reason about your code and catch bugs early on. Plus, our library is fully compatible with TypeScript, providing you with improved type safety and a seamless development experience. Get started with our immutable collections library today and experience the benefits of working with truly immutable data.

To get started with the immutable collections, which are exported through @rimbu/core, you can use the following.

Yarn / NPM / Bun

For yarn:

yarn add @rimbu/core

For npm:

npm i @rimbu/core

For bun:

bun add @rimbu/core

Deno

For Deno, the following approach is recommended:

In the root folder of your project, create or edit a file called import_map.json with the following contents (where you should replace x.y.z with the desired version of Rimbu):

{
  "imports": {
    "@rimbu/": "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/"
  }
}
