## React Integration

### Use Case: Sorted State Management

```tsx
import { useCallback, useMemo, useState } from 'react';
import { RedBlackTree } from 'data-structure-typed';

interface TodoItem {
  id: number;
  text: string;
  completed: boolean;
  priority: number;
}

   * Delete a todo efficiently
   *
   * Performance Analysis:
   * ──────────────────
   * ✅ RedBlackTree.delete(): O(log n)
   *    - For 1000 items: ~10 tree operations
   *    - No need to shift array elements
   *    - Red-Black Tree rebalances automatically
   *
   * ❌ Array Alternative:
   *    - Array.findIndex(): O(n) to find the item
   *    - Array.splice(): O(n) to remove and shift all elements
   *    - For 1000 items: ~500 operations per delete
   *    - Note: Actual wall-clock impact depends on your workload (rendering, GC, object shapes, etc.).

## Express Integration

### Use Case: LRU Cache Middleware

```javascript
const  {DoublyLinkedList} = require('data-structure-typed');

class LRUCache {
  constructor(capacity = 100) {
    this.cache = new Map();
    this.order = new DoublyLinkedList();
    this.capacity = capacity;
  }
  get(key) {
    if (!this.cache.has(key))
      return null;
    const { value, node } = this.cache.get(key);
    // Move to end (most recently used)
    this.order.delete(node);
    const newNode = this.order.push(key);
    this.cache.set(key, { value, node: newNode });
    return value;
  }
  set(key, value) {
    if (this.cache.has(key)) {
      this.get(key); // Mark as recently used
      this.cache.get(key).value = value;
      return;
    }
    if (this.cache.size >= this.capacity) {
      const lru = this.order.shift();
      this.cache.delete(lru);
    }
    const node = this.order.push(key);
    this.cache.set(key, { value, node });
  }
}

module.exports = LRUCache;
```

```javascript
// Usage in Express
const app = express();
const responseCache = new LRUCache(50);
app.use((req, res, next) => {
  const cachedResponse = responseCache.get(req.url);
  if (cachedResponse) {
    return res.status(cachedResponse.status).json(cachedResponse.data);
  }
  // Wrap original send to cache response
  const originalSend = res.send;
  res.send = function (data) {
    responseCache.set(req.url, { status: res.statusCode, data });
    return originalSend.call(this, data);
  };
  next();
});
app.get('/api/data', (req, res) => {
  res.json({ message: 'Cached response' });
});
app.listen(3000);
```

### Use Case: Rate Limiting with Deque

```typescript
import { Deque } from 'data-structure-typed';

class RateLimiter {
  private requests = new Map<string, Deque<number>>();
  private limit: number;
  private windowMs: number;

  constructor(limit: number = 100, windowMs: number = 60000) {
    this.limit = limit;
    this.windowMs = windowMs;
  }

  isAllowed(clientId: string): boolean {
    const now = Date.now();
    
    if (!this.requests.has(clientId)) {
      this.requests.set(clientId, new Deque());
    }

    const deque = this.requests.get(clientId)!;

    // Remove old requests outside window
    while (!deque.isEmpty && deque.peekFirst()! < now - this.windowMs) {
      deque.shift();
    }

    // Check limit
    if (deque.size >= this.limit) {
      return false;
    }

    // Add new request
    deque.push(now);
    return true;
  }
}

// Usage in Express
const app = express();
const limiter = new RateLimiter(10, 60000); // 10 requests per minute

app.use((req: Request, res: Response, next: Function) => {
  const clientId = req.ip;

  if (!limiter.isAllowed(clientId)) {
    return res.status(429).json({ error: 'Too many requests' });
  }

  next();
});

app.get('/api/data', (req, res) => {
  res.json({ data: 'Your data here' });
});
```

    this.taskQueue.add(task);
    return {
      success: true,
      queueSize: this.taskQueue.size,
    };
  }

  @Post('process')
  processNext(): { success: boolean; task: QueuedTask | null } {
    const task = this.taskQueue.poll();
    return {
      success: !!task,
      task: task || null,
    };
  }

  @Get('queue-size')
  getQueueSize(): { size: number } {
    return { size: this.taskQueue.size };
  }
}
```

## TypeScript Configuration

### tsconfig.json for data-structure-typed

```json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES2020",
    "module": "ES2020",
    "lib": ["ES2020", "DOM"],
    "strict": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "declaration": true,
    "declarationMap": true,
    "sourceMap": true
  }
}
```

### Package.json Setup

```json
{
  "dependencies": {
    "data-structure-typed": "^latest"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "typescript": "^5.0.0",
    "@types/node": "^latest"
  }
}
```

## Import Patterns

### All Structures

```typescript
import {
  // Trees
  BST,
  AVLTree,
  RedBlackTree,
  BSTNode,
  TreeMultiMap,
  
  // Linear
  Stack,
  Queue,
  Deque,
  LinkedList,
  SinglyLinkedList,
  DoublyLinkedList,
  
  // Heap
  Heap,
  MinHeap,
  MaxHeap,
  MinPriorityQueue,
  MaxPriorityQueue,
  
  // Special
  Trie,
  DirectedGraph,
  UndirectedGraph,
  
  // Utilities
  SegmentTree,
  FenwickTree
} from 'data-structure-typed';
```

### Module Systems

```js
// ES Module (ESM)
import { RedBlackTree } from 'data-structure-typed';

// CommonJS
const { RedBlackTree } = require('data-structure-typed');

// TypeScript with full typing
import { RedBlackTree } from 'data-structure-typed/dist/esm/red-black-tree';

// CDN (for browsers)
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/data-structure-typed/dist/umd/data-structure-typed.min.js"></script>
<script>
  const tree = new DataStructureTyped.RedBlackTree();
</script>
```

---

## Common Integration Patterns

### Pattern 1: Dependency Injection (Nest.js)

```typescript
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { ProductInventoryService } from './product-inventory.service';

@Module({
  providers: [ProductInventoryService],
  exports: [ProductInventoryService]
})
export class ProductInventoryModule {}

// Use in other services
@Injectable()
export class OutherService {
  constructor(private inventoryService: ProductInventoryService) {}

  async addProduct(product: Product): Promise<void> {
    this.inventoryService.addProduct(product);
  }
}
```

### Pattern 2: React Hooks

```tsx
import {useCallback, useRef, useState} from 'react';
import {RedBlackTree} from 'data-structure-typed';

function useSortedList<T>(initialData: T[] = []) {
  const treeRef = useRef(new RedBlackTree<number, T>(initialData));
  const [, setUpdateTrigger] = useState({});

  const add = useCallback((index: number, item: T) => {
    treeRef.current.set(index, item);
    setUpdateTrigger({});
  }, []);

  const remove = useCallback((index: number) => {
    treeRef.current.delete(index);
    setUpdateTrigger({});
  }, []);

  const getAll = useCallback(() => {
    return [...treeRef.current.values()];
  }, []);

  return {add, remove, getAll};
}

// Usage
function MyComponent() {
  const {add, remove, getAll} = useSortedList<string>([]);

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => add(1, 'Item 1')}>Add Item</button>
      <ul>
        {getAll().map((item, i) => (
          <li key={i} onClick={() => remove(i)}>{item}</li>
        ))}
      </ul>
    </div>
  );
}

export default MyComponent;
```

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: Import Error

```typescript
// ❌ Wrong
import RedBlackTree from 'data-structure-typed';

// ✅ Correct
import { RedBlackTree } from 'data-structure-typed';
```

### Issue: Type Not Found

```shell
// Make sure TypeScript configuration is correct
// and you have the latest type definitions
npm update data-structure-typed
```

### Issue: Performance in Development

```shell
// Development mode is slower due to hot reload
// Use production build for benchmarking:
npm run build
NODE_ENV=production node your-app.js
```
