Pipe (Functional Programming)

P(propertyName)

Get object property

const obj = { name: "Peter", address: { street: "123" } };
 
const getName = P("name");
const getStreet = P("address", "street");
 
console.log(getName(obj)); // => Peter
console.log(getStreet(obj)); // => 123

P.invoke(methodNameOrFunction, ...args)

Invoke object method without parameters

const obj = { getName: () => "Peter" };
 
const getName = P("getName()");
 
console.log(getName(obj)); // => Peter

Invoke object method with specified parameters

const obj = { getPhone: type => (type === "home" ? "1234" : "4321") };
 
const getHomePhone = P.invoke("getPhone", "home");
const getWorkingPhone = P.invoke("getPhone", "working");
 
console.log(getHomePhone(obj)); // => 1234
console.log(getWorkingPhone(obj)); // => 4321

Invoke object method with specified parameters and placeholder

const wrapMe = P.invoke(console.log, "Before", P, "After");
 
console.log(wrapMe("Hello World")); // => Before Hello World After

P.if(condition, thenHandler, elseHandler)

Single Conditional

import P from "pipx";
 
const isOdd = x => x % 2;
 
const left = x => `${x} is odd`;
const right = x => `${x} is even`;
 
const fn = P.if(isOdd, left, right);
 
console.log(fn(2)); // returns 2 is even
console.log(fn(1)); // returns 1 is odd

P.when(conditions[], unlessHandler)

Multiple Conditionals

const waterWithTemperature = P.when(
  [
    [P.is("equalTo", 0), P.always("water freezes at 0°C")],
    [P.is("equalTo", 100), P.always("water boils at 100°C")]
    /*
    // other method
    [
        P.case(P.is('equalTo', 0), P.always('water freezes at 0°C')),
        P.case(P.is('equalTo', 100), P.always('water boils at 100°C'))
    ],
     */
  ],
  temperature => `nothing special happens at ${temperature}°C`
);
 
print(waterWithTemperature(0));
print(waterWithTemperature(50));
print(waterWithTemperature(100));

P.always(value)

Returns a function that always returns the given value

const t = R.always("Tee");
t(); //=> 'Tee'
 
// There are some shorthands:
P.true; // => true
P.null; // => null
P.undefined; // => undefined
P.empty; // => ''
P.zero; // => 0

P.is(operator, value)

Compare value

const equalToZero = P.is("equalTo", 0); // or P.is('=', 0)
console.log(equalToZero(0)); // => true
console.log(equalToZero(1)); // => false

There are some various comparisons:

P.is('notEqualTo', value)

P.is('!=', value)

P.is('greaterThan', value)

P.is('>', value)

P.is('lessThan', value)

P.is('<', value)

P.is('greaterOrEqualTo', value)

P.is('>=', value)

P.is('lessOrEqualTo', value)

P.is('<=', value)

P.is('null')

P.is('undefined')

P.is('nil') null or undefined

P.is('empty')

P.is('zero')

P.await(funcReturnsPromise, failHandler)

const login = P(
  P.await(
    submitCredential,
    // handle promise fail
    P.invoke(
      console.error,
      "User name or pass does not match. The exception is: ",
      P
    )
  ),
  action1,
  action2
);
 
login({ user: "admin", pass: "admin" });

P.and(...conditions)

Returns true if all results are true.

const userNameMustHaveAtLeastSixCharacters = username =>
  username && username.length >= 6;
const usernameMustNotContainSpecialCharacters = username =>
  /^\w+$/.test(username);
const registerUser = P(
  P.and(
    userNameMustHaveAtLeastSixCharacters,
    usernameMustNotContainSpecialCharacters
  ),
  P.if(
    null,
    () => console.log("User registered"),
    () => console.log("Username is not valid")
  )
);
 
/* method 2
  const registerUser = P.if(
     P.and(
       userNameMustHaveAtLeastSixCharacters,
       usernameMustNotContainSpecialCharacters
     ),
     () => console.log('User registered'),
     () => console.log('Username is not valid')
   );
*/
 
registerUser("test");
registerUser("validuser");
registerUser("invalid$%");

There are some various of logical functions

P.every(...conditions) ~ P.and

p.some(...conditions) ~ P.or

P.not or P.not(condition)

P.catch(handler)

const doSomethingWrongIf = flag => {
  if (!flag) {
    throw new Error('Invalid operation');
  }
  return flag;
};
 
const doSomething = P(P.catch(console.error), doSomethingWrongIf, value =>
  console.log(`Result is ${value}`)
);
 
doSomething(true); // => Result is true
doSomething(false); // Invalid operation exception thrown
