lazymacro

macros for javascript

tutorial

• install

  npm install lazymacro
  

• require lazymacro in your source code

  require('lazymacro');
  

• enjoy the macros:

  ["I", "am"].WITH(v => v.push("lazynode.")).WITH(console.log).PIPE(v => v.join(" ")).PIPE(v => console.log(`${v}`))?.PIPE(v => console.log("null safety features can be used together!"));
  

reference

the macros provided in lazymacro

basic macros

• PIPE: O.PIPE(F) returns F(O)

  "OK".PIPE(v => v + "!") == "OK!"
  

• WITH: O.WITH(F) runs F(O) and returns O

  ["O", "K"].WITH(v => v.push("!")).PIPE(v => v.join('')) == 'OK!'
  

  "OK".WITH(v => v + "!") == "OK!"
  

• THEN: O.THEN(F) returns O.then(F)

  await Promise.resolve(5).THEN(v => v + 1) === 6
  

• WAIT: O.WAIT(F) awaits O.then(F) returns O

  await Promise.resolve(["O", "K"]).WAIT(async v => await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(() => resolve(v.push("!")), 1000))).THEN(v => v.join('')) == "OK!"
  

• XMAP: O.XMAP(F) returns an array of F(o, k) where o and k are each element of O

  ["O", "K"].XMAP(v => v.toLowerCase()).PIPE(v => v.join('')) == "ok"
  

  ({ o: "O", k: "K" }).XMAP((v, k) => k + v.toLowerCase()).PIPE(v => v.join('')) == "ookk"
  

lazy macro

LAZY will automatically choose one from PIPE, WITH, THEN and WAIT for you

for O.LAZY(F):

• WAITis chosen if O is a Promise and O.then(F) is an empty promise
• THENis chosen if O is a Promise and O.then(F) is not an empty promise
• WITHis chosen if O is not a Promise and F(O) is an empty promise
• PIPEis chosen if O is not a Promise and F(O) is not an empty promise

example:

["I", "am"].LAZY(v => { v.push("lazynode.") }).LAZY(v => { console.log(v) }).LAZY(v => v.join(" ")).LAZY(v => { console.log(`${v}`) })?.LAZY(v => console.log("null safety features can be used together!"));

this macros

same as the related basic macro but use this instead of the function paramter

arrow fuction expressions cannot be used as parameter of this macros because this is lost in arrow function expressions

• PIPETHIS

  "OK".PIPETHIS(function () { return this.toLowerCase() }) == "ok"
  

• WITHTHIS

  ["O", "K"].WITHTHIS(function () { this.push("!") }).PIPE(v => v.join('')) == 'OK!'
  

• THENTHIS

  await Promise.resolve("OK").THENTHIS(function () { return this.toLowerCase() }) == "ok"
  

• WAITTHIS

  await Promise.resolve(["O", "K"]).WAITTHIS(async function () { await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000)); this.push("!") }).THEN(v => v.join('')) == "OK!"
  

• XMAPTHIS

  ["O", "K"].XMAPTHIS(function () { return this.toLowerCase() }).PIPE(v => v.join('')) == "ok"
