Usage

With Arguments

Many of the lodash decorators can contain arguments.

• debounce
• throttle
• memoize
• after
• before
• ary
• curry
• curryRight
• restParam
• partial
• partialRight
• wrap
• compose
• flow
• flowRight
• backflow
• delay
• defer
• bind
• modArgs

Example

import { after, debounce, memoize, curry } from 'lodash-decorators'

class Person {
  constructor(firstName, lastName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
    this.lastName = lastName;
  }

  @after(3)
  @debounce(100)
  getFullName() {
    return `${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`
  }

  @curry(2)
  @memoize()
  doSomeHeavyProcessing(arg1, arg2) {
  }
}

Without Arguments

Some decorators don't take any arguments at all.

• once
• spread
• rearg
• negate
• tap

Example

import { uniqueId } from 'lodash';
import { once } from 'lodash-decorators'

class Person {
  constructor(firstName, lastName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
    this.lastName = lastName;
  }

  @once
  getFullName() {
    return `${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`
  }

  @tap
  popIt(list) {
    list.pop();
  }
}

const person = new Person();

person.popIt([1, 2, 3]); //=> [1, 2]

Partials

Some decorators work slightly differently than you would expect them to work than lodash.

• partial
• partialRight
• wrap

These can take a Function as their first argument or a String. If the argument is a String then a Function is resolved from the current object.

Example

import { partial } from 'lodash-decorators'

class Person {
  constructor(firstName, lastName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
    this.lastName = lastName;
  }

  getName(type) {
    return type === 'firstName' ? this.firstName : this.lastName
  }

  @partial('getName', 'firstName')
  getFirstName() {}

  @partial('getName', null)
  getLastName() {}

  @wrap('getName')
  getUpperCaseName(fn) {
    return fn().toUpperCase();
  }
}

const person = new Person('Joe', 'Smith');

person.getFirstName(); // 'Joe'
person.getLastName(); // 'Smith'
person.getUpperCaseName(); // JOE SMITH

Composition

You can use methods like compose and flow similiar to partials. The arguments are resolved the same way partials are resolved.

Example

import { compose } from 'lodash-decorators'
import { kebabCase } from 'lodash';

class Person {
  constructor(firstName, lastName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
    this.lastName = lastName;
  }

  getName() {
    return `${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`;
  }

  @compose(kebabCase, 'getName')
  logName(name) {
    console.log(name);
  }
}

const person = new Person('Joe', 'Smith');

person.logName(); // joe-smith

Instance Decorators

Normally decorators are applied to the prototype method of the class you are working with, but with some of these decorators that is not the desired behavour. These decorators are applied at the instance level.

• debounce
• throttle
• memoize
• after
• before

Getters and Setters

Most decorators can be applied directly to getter and setter methods.

Example

import { once } from 'lodash-decorators'
import _ from 'lodash';

class Person {
  constructor() {}

  @once
  get name() {
    return `${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`;
  }

  @compose(_.trim)
  set name(name) {
    [this.firstName, this.lastName] = name.split(' ');
  }
}

const person = new Person();

person.name = '    Joe Smith   ';
person.name; //=> Joe Smith

Bind

Bind takes arguments based on lodash's bind and binds the Function to the current instance object.

Example

import { bind } from 'lodash-decorators'

class Person {
  constructor(firstName, lastName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
    this.lastName = lastName;
  }

  @bind()
  getName() {
    return `${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`;
  }

  // It can also function as a partial
  @bind('Joe')
  getUpperCaseName(name) {
    return name.toUpperCase();
  }
}

const person = new Person('Joe', 'Smith');

person.getName.call(null); // Joe Smith
person.getUpperCaseName(); // JOE

You can also bind entire classes.

Example

import { bind } from 'lodash-decorators'

@bind()
class Person {
  constructor(firstName, lastName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
    this.lastName = lastName;
  }

  getName() {
    return `${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`;
  }
}

const person = new Person('Joe', 'Smith');

person.getName.call(null); // Joe Smith

Extensions

Extensions are decorators that aren't necessarily Lodash functions, but use Lodash under the hood. They provided some more basic utilities not found in Lodash;

These can be found in src/extensions

Validate

The validate module contains decorators that can validate function arguments and return value.

These can be found in src/validate
