About
-----
Provides some common helpers for functional-style programming.
Typescript definitions are included.
Issues can be reported on [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/thunderk/tk-functional/issues).
Functions
---------
**always** and **never** return true and false respectively
```typescript
always() // => true
never() // => false
```
**and** and **or** combines predicates
```typescript
const a = and((x: number) => x > 2, (x: number) => x < 5);
a(2) // => false
a(3) // => true
a(4) // => true
a(5) // => false
const o = or((x: number) => x < 2, (x: number) => x > 3);
o(1) // => true
o(2) // => false
o(3) // => false
o(4) // => true
```
**attr** gets an object's attribute:
```typescript
const getx = attr("x");
getx({x: 3}); // => 3
```
**bool** checks for boolean equivalence (in a broader sense than !(!(val))):
```typescript
bool(undefined); // => false
bool(null); // => false
bool(-1); // => true
bool(0); // => false
bool(1); // => true
bool(""); // => false
bool(" "); // => true
bool("abc"); // => true
bool([]); // => false
bool([1, 2, 3]); // => true
bool({}); // => false
bool({x: 1}); // => true
```
**cmp** simplifies the use of array sorting:
```typescript
[8, 3, 5].sort(cmp()) // => [3, 5, 8]
[8, 3, 5].sort(cmp({ reverse: true })) // => [8, 5, 3]
[-2, 8, -7].sort(cmp({ key: Math.abs })) // => [-2, -7, 8]
```
**identity** returns its argument untouched:
```typescript
a === identity(a) // => true
```
**is** and **isinstance** checks for strict equality and inheritance:
```typescript
const f = is(8);
f(8) // => true
f(5 + 3) // => true
f("8") // => false
f(null) // => false
class A { }
class A1 extends A { }
class A2 extends A { }
class B { }
const f: any[] = [5, null, undefined, new A, new A1, new B, new A2];
const result: A[] = f.filter(isinstance(A)); // => [f[3], f[4], f[6]]
```
**nn**, **nu** and **nnu** checks at run-time for null or undefined:
```typescript
nn(undefined) // => undefined
nn(null) // => Error
nn(1) // => 1
nu(undefined) // => Error
nu(null) // => null
nu(1) // => 1
nnu(undefined) // => Error
nnu(null) // => Error
nnu(1) // => 1
```
**nop** does nothing (useful for some callbacks):
```typescript
new ConstructorWithMandatoryCallback(nop)
```
**partial** applies a partial configuration object as first argument of compatible functions:
```typescript
const sum = (args: {a: number, b: number}) => args.a + args.b
const plus1 = partial({a: 1}, sum);
plus1({b: 8}) // => 9
```
**pipe** chains two functions as one:
```typescript
const f = pipe((x: number) => x * 2, (x: number) => x + 1);
f(3) // => 7 ((3 * 2) + 1)
```
