# @fabienjuif/astar

> an A\* algorithm in javascript

## Installation

`npm install --save @fabienjuif/astar`

## Usage

```js

const getClosestPath = require('@fabienjuif/astar')

getClosestPath(

  // array of rows that contains cells

  graph,

  // starting cell { x, y }

  start,

  // ending cell { x, y }

  end,

  // all the rest of parameters are **not required**

  // but you can use them to tweak the engine

  ({

    // function to test two node are the same

    sameNode = defaultSameNode,

    // function that map the given graph to the one that the engine needs

    mapGraph = identity,

    // function to get neighbours of a cell (default works with squared cells)

    getNeighbours = defaultGetNeighbours,

    // function to get distance between 2 cells, default use pythagore (without the square root)

    distance = defaultDistance,

    // your heuristic

    heuristic = () => 1,

    // max loops before stoping the engine

    maxLoops = Infinity,

  } = {}),

)

```

- Node are representated in object `x, y`

- Graph is an array of cells

```js

const graph = [

  // first line (x === 0)

  [0, 0], [0, 1], [0, 2], [0, 3], [0, 4], [0, 5],

  // second line (x === 1)

  [1, 0], [1, 1], [1, 2],

  // third line (x === 2)

  [2, 0], [2, 1], [2, 2], [2, 3],[2, 4],[2, 5],

]

console.log(graph[2][3])

```
