jducers

jducers

A js transducers-like implementation using generators and async generators.

A composed function expecting a combination function to make a reducer is called transducer. Transducers are useful to compose adjacent map(), filer() and reduce() operations together to improve performaces.

A jducer is similar to a transducer because it is a composed function and can be used to compose map(), filer() and reduce() operations together, but there are some differences.

It was a challenge against myself to see how far could I go using generators.

install

$ npm i --save jducers

utility

A little fp utility library used by jducers and available for you with pipe, compose, curry, partial and partialRight

import { pipe, compose, curry, partial, partialRight } from 'jducers/src/utility';

sync

Sync's jducers helpers:

import { map, filter, reduce, run }  from 'jducers/src/jducers/sync'

or

import * as SJ from 'jducers/src/jducers/sync'

• map: accepts only a mapper function that is up to you and returns a function used in the creation of a jducer
• filter: accepts only a predicate function that is up to you and returns a function used in the creation of a jducer
• reduce: accepts two parameters: a reducer function with some constraints and an optional initial value and returns a function used in the creation of a jducer. The reducer function will be called with only two parameters: the accumulator and the current processed value
• run: accepts two parameters: a composition (you can use pipe or compose from my utility library) and a sync iterable like an array. Returns the resuling array or a single value.It depends on the functions used in the composition

import * as SJ from 'jducers/src/jducers/sync'
import { pipe, partialRight } from 'jducers/src/utility';

let array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20];

const isOdd = i => !!(i % 2); // predicate function
const double = i => i * 2; // mapper function
const sum = (acc, val) => acc + val; // reducer

const syncIsOddFilter = SJ.filter(isOdd);
const syncDoubleMap = SJ.map(double);
const syncSumReduce = SJ.reduce(sum);

const run = partialRight(SJ.run, array);

let jducer = pipe(syncIsOddFilter, syncDoubleMap);
let res = run(jducer);
console.log(res); // [2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30, 34, 38]

jducer = pipe(syncIsOddFilter, syncDoubleMap, syncSumReduce);
res = run(jducer);
console.log(res); // 200

async

Async's jducers helpers (useful for async iterables and concurrent iterations):

import { map, filter, reduce, run, observerFactory }  from 'jducers/src/jducers/async'

or

import * as AJ from 'jducers/src/jducers/async'

• map: accepts only a mapper function that is up to you and returns a function used in the creation of a jducer
• filter: accepts only a predicate function that is up to you and returns a function used in the creation of a jducer
• reduce: accepts two parameters: a reducer function with some constraints and an optional initial value and returns a function used in the creation of a jducer. The reducer function will be called with only two parameters: the accumulator and the current processed value
• run: accepts two parameters: a composition (you can use pipe or compose from my utility library) and an async iterable like an array of promises. Returns a promise that will be fulfilled with the resulting array or a single value. It depends on the functions used in the composition
• observerFactory: accepts one or more callbacks and returns a simple observer that calls them when each single value of our async iterable flows through it. The observer has to be placed in a composition to form the jducer

import * as AJ from 'jducers/src/jducers/async'
import { pipe, partialRight } from 'jducers/src/utility';

const asyncArray = {
    array: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20],
    [Symbol.asyncIterator]: async function* () {
        for (const x of this.array) {
            await new Promise(ok => setTimeout(() => ok(x), 2000));
            yield x;
        }
    }
}

const isOdd = i => !!(i % 2); // predicate function
const double = i => i * 2; // mapper function
const sum = (acc, val) => acc + val; // reducer

const asyncIsOddFilter = AJ.filter(isOdd);
const asyncDoubleMap = AJ.map(double);
const asyncSumReduce = AJ.reduce(sum);

const run = partialRight(AJ.run, asyncArray);

let jducer = pipe(asyncIsOddFilter, asyncDoubleMap);
let res = run(jducer); 
res.then(x => console.log(x)); // [2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30, 34, 38]

jducer = pipe(asyncIsOddFilter, asyncDoubleMap, asyncSumReduce);
res = run(jducer);; 
res.then(x => console.log(x)); // 200

const observer = AJ.observerFactory(console.log);
/*
  const observer = observerFactory();
  observer.add(console.log);
*/
  
jducer = pipe(observer, asyncDoubleMap, observer, asyncSumReduce);
// we will se each value before and after the double mapper function
// 1 2 2 4 3 6 4 8 5 10 6 12 ...
res = run(jducer); 
res.then(x => console.log(x)); // 420
