just-curry-it

What is just-curry-it?

The just-curry-it npm package is a utility for currying functions. Currying is a functional programming technique where a function with multiple arguments is transformed into a sequence of functions each taking a single argument. This package simplifies the process of currying functions in JavaScript.

What are just-curry-it's main functionalities?

Basic Currying

This feature allows you to transform a function that takes multiple arguments into a curried function. The curried function can then be called with one argument at a time, or with multiple arguments at once.

const curry = require('just-curry-it');

function add(a, b, c) {
  return a + b + c;
}

const curriedAdd = curry(add);
console.log(curriedAdd(1)(2)(3)); // 6
console.log(curriedAdd(1, 2)(3)); // 6
console.log(curriedAdd(1)(2, 3)); // 6

Partial Application

This feature allows for partial application of functions. You can fix some arguments of the function and get a new function that takes the remaining arguments.

const curry = require('just-curry-it');

function multiply(a, b, c) {
  return a * b * c;
}

const curriedMultiply = curry(multiply);
const multiplyBy2 = curriedMultiply(2);
console.log(multiplyBy2(3, 4)); // 24
console.log(multiplyBy2(3)(4)); // 24
