Denque is a well tested, extremely fast and lightweight [double-ended queue](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-ended_queue)
implementation with zero dependencies and includes TypeScript types.
Double-ended queues can also be used as a:
- [Stack](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_\(abstract_data_type\))
- [Queue](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queue_\(data_structure\))
This implementation is currently the fastest available, even faster than `double-ended-queue`, see the [benchmarks](https://docs.page/invertase/denque/benchmarks).
Every queue operation is done at a constant `O(1)` - including random access from `.peekAt(index)`.
**Works on all node versions >= v0.10**
## Quick Start
Install the package:
```bash
npm install denque
```
Create and consume a queue:
```js
const Denque = require("denque");
const denque = new Denque([1,2,3,4]);
denque.shift(); // 1
denque.pop(); // 4
```
See the [API reference documentation](https://docs.page/invertase/denque/api) for more examples.
