babel-plugin-function-composition

babel-plugin-function-composition

This plugin is made to work with point-free (tacit) functional programming by composing functions over piping. It is inspired by the work of babel-plugin-pipe-operator-curry, but with a very different purpose, with focus on omitting arguments. I've overloaded the operator & for that. You can built more complex functions from simple ones.

Examples

import { add, multiply } from 'ramda';

const add5AndMul5 = add(5) & multiply(5);

Turn into

import { add, multiply } from 'ramda';

const add5AndMul5 = (...args) => multiply(5)(add(5)(...args));

Disabling in current scope

If you want to use the original bitwise and operator, you can disable this plugin in current scope (and it children scopes) using 'no composition directive.
