Leo Meyerovich commented on ARROW-7513:
---------------------------------------
_nudge:_ [~paul.e.taylor] / [~bhulette] - need to do anything to get the PR
link merged?
Need to take care of some things, and then will see about extracting Part II
out from the earlier versions on Data+Builders.
> [JS] Arrow Tutorial: Common data types
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-7513
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-7513
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: JavaScript
> Reporter: Leo Meyerovich
> Assignee: Leo Meyerovich
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Time Spent: 20m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The JS client lacks basic introductory material around creating the common
> basic data types such as turning JS arrays into ints, dicts, etc. There is no
> equivalent of Python's [https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/data.html] .
> This has made use for myself difficult, and I bet for others.
>
> As with prev tutorials, I started sketching on
> [https://observablehq.com/@lmeyerov/rich-data-types-in-apache-arrow-js-efficient-data-tables-wit]
> . When we're happy can make sense to export as an html or something to the
> repo, or just link from the main readme.
> I believe the target topics worth covering are:
> * Common user data types: Ints, Dicts, Struct, Time
> * Common column types: Data, Vector, Column
> * Going from individual & arrays & buffers of JS values to Arrow-wrapped
> forms, and basic inspection of the result
> Not worth going into here is Tables vs. RecordBatches, which is the other
> tutorial.
>
> 1. Ideas of what to add/edit/remove?
> 2. And anyone up for helping with discussion of Data vs. Vector, and ingest
> of Time & Struct?
> 3. ... Should we be encouraging Struct or Map? I saw some PRs changing stuff
> here.
