Utils for piping and composing functions.
import { flow, pipe } from "@gordonb/pipe";
const double = (n: number) => n * 2;
const addOne = (n: number) => n + 1;
const toString = (n: number) => n.toString();
const result = pipe(5, double, addOne, toString);
// "11"
const combined = flow(double, addOne, toString);
combined(5);
// "11"
This module offers four functions:
pipe(value, ...fns)
pipe value through one-argument functions, returning result.pipeAsync(value, ...fns)
pipe value through async functions, returning promise for result. The return value of each step is awaited. The next function in the chain will receive the awaited value. pipeAsync allows using sync or async functions in the pipeline.flow(...fns)
composes many one-argument functions into a single one-argument function that will apply them left-to-right. This is the opposite direction of traditional function composition, but it reads more nicely with the way JavaScript is typically read/written.flowAsync(...fns)
composes many one-argument async functions into a single one-argument async function that will apply them left-to-right. flowAsync supports using both async and ordinary one-argument functions.
All functions support typesafe overloads for up to 20 functions.
