[FP] utilities for authoring common JS programs in functional form.
---
This package is [ESM-only] and requires Node 12+.
``sh`
npm install uinix-fp
You may also install specific [packages] individually.
`sh`
npm install uinix-fp-i
npm install uinix-fp-map
npm install uinix-fp-noop
npm install uinix-fp-pipe
...
> Note: uinix-fp is tree-shakeable and we recommend simply installing the main package if your build supports [tree shaking].
The following example shows usage of some uinix-fp programs supporting [pointfree] and [currying] ways to express common JS data transformations in a pipeline.
`js
import {
filter,
isTruthy,
map,
pipe,
props
} from 'uinix-fp';
const greet = x => 'Hi ' + x;
const exclaim = x => x + '!';
const filterTruthy = filter(isTruthy); // curried
const users = [
null,
{user: {firstName: 'Jesse'}},
null,
{user: {firstName: 'Walter'}},
...
];
const pipeline = pipe([
filterTruthy, // [{user: {firstName: 'Jesse'}}, {user: {firstName: 'Walter'}}, ...]
map(props('user.firstName')), // ['Jesse', 'Walter', ...]
map(greet), // ['Hi Jesse', 'Hi Walter', ...]
map(exclaim), // ['Hi Jesse!', 'Hi Walter!', ...]
])(users);
`
uinix-fp is unopinionated and you you can express your code appropriately for your functional style and needs. The following pipeline is equivalent to the previous pipeline.
`js
const shoutFirstName = pipe([
props('user.firstName'),
greet,
exclaim,
]);
const pipeline = pipe([
filterTruthy,
map(shoutFirstName),
])(users)
`
This package has no default export and exports the following identifiers:
- filter
- filterEntries
- i
- isPlainObject
- isTruthy
- k
- map
- mapEntries
- merge
- noop
- pipe
- prop
- props
APIs are explorable via [JSDoc]-based [Typescript] typings accompanying the source code.
is fundamentally just a simple JS library of utilities. It aims to be JS-first and avoid opinionated domain-specific APIs.uinix-fp programs follow the [Unix philosophy], with each program maintaining simple and clear responsibilities, while remaining interoperable with other program and most importantly with core JS.Strict formalization of FP principles and typings should not impede on the primary goal of providing a minimal set of utilities to help express common JS programs in functional form. If you are looking for a formal and rigorous set of FP utilities, please explore other libraries such as [
sanctuary][sanctuary] and [fp-ts][fp-ts].$3
uinix-fp adheres to [semver] starting at 1.0.0.$3
uinix-fp is a collection of smaller FP utilities managed under a monorepo of [packages].Node 18+ is required for development.
Install dependencies with
npm i and run tests with npm test. You can also run other NPM scripts (e.g. lint) from the root of the monorepo.$3
