fp 0.1.1

A library enabling functional programming in Dart similar to Underscore.js.

FP in Dart

Symbolize

test("returns a map with symbolized keys", () {
   var s = _.symbolize({"one" : 1});
   expect(s[const Symbol("one")], equals(1));
});

Invoke

class Obj {
  noArguments() => "no arguments";
  withArguments(posArg) => posArg;
}

var obj = new Obj();

test("invokes a method without arguments", (){
  var invoke = _.invoke("noArguments");
  expect(invoke(obj), equals("no arguments"));
});

test("invokes a method with arguments", (){
  var invoke = _.invoke("withArguments", ["pos"]);
  expect(invoke(obj), equals("pos"));
});

Field

class Obj {
  var field;
}

var obj = new Obj();

test("invokes a getter", (){
  obj.field = "value";
  var getField = _.getField("field");
  expect(getField(obj), equals("value"));
});

test("invokes a setter", (){
  obj.field = "old";

  var setField = _.setField("field", "new");
  setField(obj);

  expect(obj.field, equals("new"));
});

Compose

test("composes two or more functions", () {
  var compose = _.compose([_.getField("length"), _.invoke("trim")]);
  expect(compose("   abc  "), equals(3));
});

Partial

func(pos1, pos2) => "$pos1 $pos2";

test("partially applies an argument", () {
  var partial = _.partial(func, ["pos1"]);
  expect(partial("pos2"), equals("pos1 pos2"));
});

Tap

add(a, b) => a + b;
var addWithLogging = _.tap((a,b) => print("arguments are $a and $b"), add);
expect(addWithLogging(1,2), equals(3)); //also prints arguments are 1 and 2

Any Args

test("ignores all args", () {
  var c = () => "RES";
  var anyArgsC = _.anyArgs(c);

  expect(anyArgsC(1,2,3), equals("RES"));
  expect(anyArgsC(one: 'one', two: 'two'), equals("RES"));
});
