call-if

A micro-library of functions that call a given function if a given condition is met.

This library was created for both convenience purposes and for the cleaner code that can be produced by using its provided functions.

NOTE: Compatible with ES4+ browsers, AMD, CommonJS, ES6 Imports, and HTML script references.
