chain-function

What is chain-function?

The chain-function npm package allows you to chain multiple functions together, creating a single function that executes all the chained functions in sequence. This can be particularly useful for event handling, middleware processing, or any scenario where you need to apply multiple functions in a specific order.

What are chain-function's main functionalities?

Chaining Multiple Functions

This feature allows you to chain multiple functions together. When the resulting chained function is called, it executes all the chained functions in the order they were provided.

const chainFunction = require('chain-function');

function firstFunction() {
  console.log('First function executed');
}

function secondFunction() {
  console.log('Second function executed');
}

const chainedFunction = chainFunction(firstFunction, secondFunction);

chainedFunction(); // Output: First function executed
                  //         Second function executed

Handling Event Listeners

This feature is useful for event handling. You can chain multiple event listeners together so that they all get executed when the event is triggered.

const chainFunction = require('chain-function');

function onClickHandler1() {
  console.log('First click handler');
}

function onClickHandler2() {
  console.log('Second click handler');
}

const chainedClickHandler = chainFunction(onClickHandler1, onClickHandler2);

document.getElementById('myButton').addEventListener('click', chainedClickHandler);

Other packages similar to chain-function

compose-function

The compose-function package allows you to compose multiple functions into a single function, but it applies them in reverse order. This is useful for functional programming paradigms where you want to apply a series of transformations to data.

async

The async package provides utilities for working with asynchronous JavaScript, including function chaining. It offers more advanced features like parallel execution, series execution, and waterfall execution, making it more versatile for complex asynchronous workflows.

lodash

Lodash is a utility library that provides a wide range of functions for common programming tasks, including function chaining. Its `_.flow` and `_.flowRight` methods allow you to create a pipeline of functions to be executed in sequence or reverse sequence, respectively.

chain a bunch of functions

npm i chain-function

 function foo() {
   console.log('foo')
 }
 
 function baz() {
   console.log('bar')
 }
 
 var foobar = chain(foo, bar)
 
 foobar() // "bar" "foo"
 
 //handles empty values just fine
 foobar = chain(foo, null, bar, undefined)
 
 foobar() // "bar" "foo"
