Usage

installation

To use the library just import it

import * as fjs from 'fjs-utils';

You can import just the pieces you want

import { functions } from 'fjs-utils';

or

import { curry } from 'fjs-utils/functions';

FAQ

• How is this different than lodash or ramda?
  • For one it's not the same set of functions
  • Lodash specifically puts the array or object first which limits the composability
  • This libraray has a different goal than ramda. Ramda's goal is to make functional programming easier in JS. While there are functional concepts here, that's only so it can remain external dependency free.
