@masaeedu/infix v1.2.1

Infix

Summary

A simple trick for applying a bag of static functions where the data goes last as infix functions.

Usage

const { infix, uncurry } = require("@masaeedu/infix");

const Int = {
  "+": x => y => y + x,
  "-": x => y => y - x,
  "*": x => y => y * x,
  "/": x => y => y / x
};

const result = infix(Int) (1) ["+"] (2) ["+"] (5) ["*"] (5) ["+"] (2) .unwrap;
// => 42

Properties

The expression:

infix(F)(a)
  .f(b)
  .g(c).unwrap

desugars to:

F.g(c)(F.f(b)(a))

Note that this only works when F.f, F.g etc. are binary functions with the data as the second argument.

Some functions may not fit this mould. Functions of arbitrary arity are supported using uncurrying. The expression:

infix(F)(a)
  .f(b)
  [uncurry](g)([c, d])
  .h(e).unwrap

desugars to:

F.h(e)(
  F.g(c)(d)(
    F.f(b)(
      a)))
