Can’t call OrderedSet.empty

[mxcl]

rimbu 0.12.3 via Deno:

I've tried a variety of imports, with the same error, current code is:

import { OrderedSet } from "rimbu/ordered/mod.ts"

const foo = OrderedSet.empty<string>()

which gives the error:

Property 'empty' does not exist on type 'OrderedSetCreators'.deno-ts(2339)

However, empty() does work with OrderedSortedSet, it’s just I don’t want the order to be sorted.

The ordered collections take an existing collection and add the order administration to them. Therefore, the OrderedSet can be seen as an interface that can be used for all ordered sets.

To instantiate ordered sets, there are the following options:

• use the OrderedHashSet to have an ordered collection that internally uses a HashSet. So this would become OrderedHashSet.empty<string>()
• use the OrderedSortedSet to have an ordered collection that internally uses a SortedSet. So this would become OrderedSortedSet.empty<string>()
• Create a custom context with a configured collection: OrderedSet.createContext(...options...).empty<string>()

If you don't need your collection to be sorted, the OrderedHashSet would be the best and easiest option.

Let me know if you need more information.

Thank you. I found a few references to OrderedSet.empty() in the docs, will submit a PR to correct this if I can find them again.

I see. Thanks for sharing, I'll also do a search. I do see now that there are incorrect mentions of OrderedSet.of(...) in the README. I've created a PR for it.
