tiny-pipe

A minimal composition utility. For when every byte counts! Creates a new function that applies the arguments to the left-most function and applies the result of that call to the function to its right and so on for all functions passed. That function returns the result of these nested calls.

pipe(fn1, fn2, fn3)('yeah!')

// is equivalent to
fn3(fn2(fn1('yeah!')))

Install

npm install @ngard/tiny-pipe

Syntax

pipe(/* function1 [, function2 [, ...] ] */);

Parameters

function1 - Any function

Return

A new function that applies the arguments to the left-most function and applies the result of that call to the function to its right and so on for all functions passed. That function returns the result of these nested calls.

Examples

import { pipe } from '@ngard/tiny-pipe';

function biggerThanZero(n) {
  return Math.max(0, n);
}
function lessThanTen(n) {
  return Math.min(10, n);
}
const betweenZeroAndTen = pipe(biggerThanZero, lessThanTen);

betweenZeroAndTen(4); // returns 4
betweenZeroAndTen(14); // returns 10
betweenZeroAndTen(-8); // returns 0

import { pipe } from '@ngard/tiny-pipe';

function double(n) {
  return 2 * n;
}
function addFive(n) {
  return 5 + n;
}
const doubleAndAddFive = pipe(double, addFive);
doubleAndAddFive(4); // 13

const addFiveAndDouble = pipe(addFive, double);
addFiveAndDouble(4); // 18
