Build Status

Install: npm install --save iox

What?

Instead of passing dependencies to your functions, instead arrange for them return:

  • A description of what IO operation they would like carried out.
  • What to do after the IO operation has completed.

For example:

function lowerCaseInput() {
    return { io: 'read-file', file: '/etc/hosts', then: (str) => str.toLowerCase() }
}

So how do you run this? Check out the full example at examples/lowercase-file.js

Why?

Functions that perform input & output operations are usually quite hard to test. (As opposed to pure functions)

  • You might use mocking techniques - painful.
  • You might use dependency injection (to inject mocks and genuine implementations)

Dependency injection can be problematic because you have to pass your dependencies all the way through your function call hierarchy. With iox, your functions compose easier because you're never passing down dependencies.
