lazit v1.0.0-rc.3

lazit

Lazy, composable operations on iterators/generators for ES6 and beyond.

Use lazit right now with transpilers like babeljs or the Google Traceur Compiler or by using build/lazit.js or build/lazit.min.js which are precompiled using babeljs and browserified.

Lazit lets you do stuff like:

let lazit   = require('lazit');
let iterate = lazit.iterate;
let take    = lazit.take;
let zip     = lazit.zip;
let map     = lazit.map;
let result;

// use infinite lists without any worries since everything is lazy
// here `iterate` is an infinite list builder function
result  = [...take(4, zip(iterate(x => x+1, 0), map(v => v*v, [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8])))];
console.log(result); // [[0,1],[1,4],[2,9],[3,16]]

// or stuff like

let f = (a,b) => { b = b.slice(); b.unshift(a); return b; };
let g = (a,b) => { a = a.slice(); a.unshift(b); return a; };

console.log([...scanl(g, [], [1,2,3,4])]); // [[],[1],[2,1],[3,2,1],[4,3,2,1]]
console.log(scanr(f, [], take(4, iterate(v => ++v, 1)))); // [[1,2,3,4],[2,3,4],[3,4],[4],[]]

// or

let map  = lazit.map;
let take = lazit.take;
console.log([...take(3, map(v => { if (v === 0) throw Error('Divide by zero error'); else return 1/v; }, [1,2,3,0,5]))]);
// output is [ 1, 0.5, 0.3333333333333333 ]
// it doesn't blow up since the evaluation is lazy

Lazit exposes the same api whether you're dealing with infinite lists or finite lists. Also, the functions in lazit compose pretty much like they do in haskell, etc.

Also, all functions that require more than one argument auto-curry in lazit. So you can do stuff like:

let lazit    = require('lazit');
let mapIncFn = lazit.map(v => ++v); // pass only one out of the 2 args required by map

console.log([...mapIncFn([1,2,3])]); // [2,3,4]
