__ Function

Returns

A special placeholder value used to specify "gaps" within curried functions, allowing partial application of any combination of arguments, regardless of their positions.

If g is a curried ternary function and _ is R.__, the following are equivalent:

  • g(1, 2, 3)
  • g(_, 2, 3)(1)
  • g(_, _, 3)(1)(2)
  • g(_, _, 3)(1, 2)
  • g(_, 2, _)(1, 3)
  • g(_, 2)(1)(3)
  • g(_, 2)(1, 3)
  • g(_, 2)(_, 3)(1)
var greet = R.replace('{name}', R.__, 'Hello, {name}!');
greet('Alice'); //=> 'Hello, Alice!'

add Math

  • Number a

    The first value.

  • Number b

    The second value.

Returns Number

The result of a + b.

Adds two numbers (or strings). Equivalent to a + b but curried.

R.add(2, 3);       //=>  5
R.add(7)(10);      //=> 17

addIndex Function

  • function fn

    A list iteration function that does not pass index/list to its callback

Returns

An altered list iteration function thats passes index/list to its callback

Creates a new list iteration function from an existing one by adding two new parameters to its callback function: the current index, and the entire list.

This would turn, for instance, Ramda's simple map function into one that more closely resembles Array.prototype.map. Note that this will only work for functions in which the iteration callback function is the first parameter, and where the list is the last parameter. (This latter might be unimportant if the list parameter is not used.)

var mapIndexed = R.addIndex(R.map);
mapIndexed(function(val, idx) {return idx + '-' + val;}, ['f', 'o', 'o', 'b', 'a', 'r']);
//=> ['0-f', '1-o', '2-o', '3-b', '4-a', '5-r']

adjust List

  • function fn

    The function to apply.

  • Number idx

    The index.

  • Array list

    An array-like object whose value at the supplied index will be replaced.

Returns Array

A copy of the supplied array-like object with the element at index idx replaced with the value returned by applying fn to the existing element.

Applies a function to the value at the given index of an array, returning a new copy of the array with the element at the given index replaced with the result of the function application.

See also update.
R.adjust(R.add(10), 1, [0, 1, 2]);     //=> [0, 11, 2]
R.adjust(R.add(10))(1)([0, 1, 2]);     //=> [0, 11, 2]

f(12); //=> true

always Function

  • * val

    The value to wrap in a function

  • * a

    any value

  • * b

    any other value

Returns *

the first argument if falsy otherwise the second argument.

A function that returns the first argument if it's falsy otherwise the second argument. Note that this is NOT short-circuited, meaning that if expressions are passed they are both evaluated.

Dispatches to the and method of the first argument if applicable.

R.and(false, true); //=> false
R.and(0, []); //=> 0
R.and(null, ''); => null

any List

aperture List

  • Number n

    The size of the tuples to create

  • Array list

    The list to split into n-tuples

Returns Array

R.append(['tests'], ['write', 'more']); //=> ['write', 'more', ['tests']]

apply Function

  • function fn
  • Array args
Returns *

Applies function fn to the argument list args. This is useful for creating a fixed-arity function from a variadic function. fn should be a bound function if context is significant.

var nums = [1, 2, 3, -99, 42, 6, 7];
R.apply(Math.max, nums); //=> 42

arity Function

Deprecated since v0.15.0
  • Number n

    The desired arity of the returned function.

  • function fn

    The function to wrap.

Returns function

A new function wrapping fn. The new function is guaranteed to be of arity n.

Wraps a function of any arity (including nullary) in a function that accepts exactly n parameters. Unlike nAry, which passes only n arguments to the wrapped function, functions produced by arity will pass all provided arguments to the wrapped function.

var takesTwoArgs = function(a, b) {
  return [a, b];
};
takesTwoArgs.length; //=> 2
takesTwoArgs(1, 2); //=> [1, 2]

var takesOneArg = R.arity(1, takesTwoArgs);
takesOneArg.length; //=> 1
// All arguments are passed through to the wrapped function
takesOneArg(1, 2); //=> [1, 2]

assoc Object

  • String prop

    the property name to set

  • * val

    the new value

  • Object obj

    the object to clone

Returns Object

a new object similar to the original except for the specified property.

Makes a shallow clone of an object, setting or overriding the specified property with the given value. Note that this copies and flattens prototype properties onto the new object as well. All non-primitive properties are copied by reference.

R.assoc('c', 3, {a: 1, b: 2}); //=> {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}

assocPath Object

  • Array path

    the path to set

  • * val

    the new value

  • Object obj

    the object to clone

Returns Object

a new object similar to the original except along the specified path.

Makes a shallow clone of an object, setting or overriding the nodes required to create the given path, and placing the specific value at the tail end of that path. Note that this copies and flattens prototype properties onto the new object as well. All non-primitive properties are copied by reference.

R.assocPath(['a', 'b', 'c'], 42, {a: {b: {c: 0}}}); //=> {a: {b: {c: 42}}}

binary Function

  • function fn

    The function to wrap.

Returns function

A new function wrapping fn. The new function is guaranteed to be of arity 2.

Wraps a function of any arity (including nullary) in a function that accepts exactly 2 parameters. Any extraneous parameters will not be passed to the supplied function.

var takesThreeArgs = function(a, b, c) {
  return [a, b, c];
};
takesThreeArgs.length; //=> 3
takesThreeArgs(1, 2, 3); //=> [1, 2, 3]

var takesTwoArgs = R.binary(takesThreeArgs);

bind Function

  • function fn

    The function to bind to context

  • Object thisObj

    The context to bind fn to

Returns function

A function that will execute in the context of thisObj.

See also partial.

both Logic

  • function f

    a predicate

  • function g

    another predicate

Returns function

a function that applies its arguments to f and g and &&s their outputs together.

A function wrapping calls to the two functions in an && operation, returning the result of the first function if it is false-y and the result of the second function otherwise. Note that this is short-circuited, meaning that the second function will not be invoked if the first returns a false-y value.

var gt10 = function(x) { return x > 10; };
var even = function(x) { return x % 2 === 0 };
var f = R.both(gt10, even);
f(100); //=> true
f(101); //=> false

call Function

  • function fn

    The function to apply to the remaining arguments.

  • * args

    Any number of positional arguments.

Returns *

Returns the result of calling its first argument with the remaining arguments. This is occasionally useful as a converging function for R.converge: the left branch can produce a function while the right branch produces a value to be passed to that function as an argument.

var indentN = R.pipe(R.times(R.always(' ')),
                     R.join(''),
                     R.replace(/^(?!$)/gm));

var format = R.converge(R.call,
                        R.pipe(R.prop('indent'), indentN),
                        R.prop('value'));

format({indent: 2, value: 'foo\nbar\nbaz\n'}); //=> '  foo\n  bar\n  baz\n'

chain List

  • function fn
  • Array list
Returns Array

chain maps a function over a list and concatenates the results. This implementation is compatible with the Fantasy-land Chain spec, and will work with types that implement that spec. chain is also known as flatMap in some libraries

var duplicate = function(n) {
  return [n, n];
};
R.chain(duplicate, [1, 2, 3]); //=> [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3]

clone Object

  • * value

    The object or array to clone

Returns *

A new object or array.

Creates a deep copy of the value which may contain (nested) Arrays and Objects, Numbers, Strings, Booleans and Dates. Functions are not copied, but assigned by their reference.

var objects = [{}, {}, {}];
var objectsClone = R.clone(objects);
objects[0] === objectsClone[0]; //=> false

commute List

  • function of

    A function that returns the data type to return

  • Array list

    An array of functors of the same type

See also commuteMap.
R.commute(R.of, [[1], [2, 3]]);   //=> [[1, 2], [1, 3]]
R.commute(R.of, [[1, 2], [3]]);   //=> [[1, 3], [2, 3]]
R.commute(R.of, [[1], [2], [3]]); //=> [[1, 2, 3]]
R.commute(Maybe.of, [Just(1), Just(2), Just(3)]);   //=> Just([1, 2, 3])

  • function of

    A function that returns the data type to return

  • Array list

    An array of functors of the same type

Returns *

Turns a list of Functors into a Functor of a list, applying a mapping function to the elements of the list along the way.

See also commute.
R.commuteMap(R.map(R.add(10)), R.of, [[1], [2, 3]]);   //=> [[11, 12], [11, 13]]
R.commuteMap(R.map(R.add(10)), R.of, [[1, 2], [3]]);   //=> [[11, 13], [12, 13]]
R.commuteMap(R.map(R.add(10)), R.of, [[1], [2], [3]]); //=> [[11, 12, 13]]
R.commuteMap(R.map(R.add(10)), Maybe.of, [Just(1), Just(2), Just(3)]);   //=> Just([11, 12, 13])
R.commuteMap(R.map(R.add(10)), Maybe.of, [Just(1), Just(2), Nothing()]); //=> Nothing()

comparator Function

  • function pred

    A predicate function of arity two.

Returns function

A Function :: a -> b -> Int that returns -1 if a < b, 1 if b < a, otherwise 0.

Makes a comparator function out of a function that reports whether the first element is less than the second.

var cmp = R.comparator(function(a, b) {
  return a.age < b.age;
});
var people = [
  // ...
];
R.sort(cmp, people);

complement Logic

  • function f
Returns function

Takes a function f and returns a function g such that:

  • applying g to zero or more arguments will give true if applying the same arguments to f gives a logical false value; and

  • applying g to zero or more arguments will give false if applying the same arguments to f gives a logical true value.

var isEven = function(n) { return n % 2 === 0; };
var isOdd = R.complement(isEven);
isOdd(21); //=> true
isOdd(42); //=> false

compose Function

  • function functions

    A variable number of functions.

Returns function

A new function which represents the result of calling each of the input functions, passing the result of each function call to the next, from right to left.

Creates a new function that runs each of the functions supplied as parameters in turn, passing the return value of each function invocation to the next function invocation, beginning with whatever arguments were passed to the initial invocation.

Note that compose is a right-associative function, which means the functions provided will be invoked in order from right to left. In the example var h = compose(f, g), the function h is equivalent to f( g(x) ), where x represents the arguments originally passed to h.

var triple = function(x) { return x * 3; };
var double = function(x) { return x * 2; };
var square = function(x) { return x * x; };
var squareThenDoubleThenTriple = R.compose(triple, double, square);

//≅ triple(double(square(5)))
squareThenDoubleThenTriple(5); //=> 150

composeL Function

  • function lenses

    A variable number of lenses.

Returns function

A new lens which represents the result of calling each of the input lenses, passing the result of each getter/setter as the source to the next, from right to left.

Creates a new lens that allows getting and setting values of nested properties, by following each given lens in succession.

Note that composeL is a right-associative function, which means the lenses provided will be invoked in order from right to left.

See also lens.
var headLens = R.lensIndex(0);
var secondLens = R.lensIndex(1);
var xLens = R.lensProp('x');
var secondOfXOfHeadLens = R.composeL(secondLens, xLens, headLens);

var source = [{x: [0, 1], y: [2, 3]}, {x: [4, 5], y: [6, 7]}];
secondOfXOfHeadLens(source); //=> 1
secondOfXOfHeadLens.set(123, source); //=> [{x: [0, 123], y: [2, 3]}, {x: [4, 5], y: [6, 7]}]

composeP Function

  • function functions

    A variable number of functions.

Returns function

A new function which represents the result of calling each of the input functions, passing either the returned result or the asynchronously resolved value) of each function call to the next, from right to left.

Similar to compose but with automatic handling of promises (or, more precisely, "thenables"). The behavior is identical to that of compose() if all composed functions return something other than promises (i.e., objects with a .then() method). If one of the function returns a promise, however, then the next function in the composition is called asynchronously, in the success callback of the promise, using the resolved value as an input. Note that composeP is a right- associative function, just like compose.

var Q = require('q');
var triple = function(x) { return x * 3; };
var double = function(x) { return x * 2; };
var squareAsync = function(x) { return Q.when(x * x); };
var squareAsyncThenDoubleThenTriple = R.composeP(triple, double, squareAsync);

//≅ squareAsync(5).then(function(x) { return triple(double(x)) };
squareAsyncThenDoubleThenTriple(5)
  .then(function(result) {
    // result is 150
  });

concat List

  • Array list1

    The first list to merge.

  • Array list2

    The second set to merge.

Returns Array

A new array consisting of the contents of list1 followed by the contents of list2. If, instead of an Array for list1, you pass an object with a concat method on it, concat will call list1.concat and pass it the value of list2.

Returns a new list consisting of the elements of the first list followed by the elements of the second.

R.concat([], []); //=> []
R.concat([4, 5, 6], [1, 2, 3]); //=> [4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3]
R.concat('ABC', 'DEF'); // 'ABCDEF'

cond Logic

  • function functions
Returns function

Returns a function, fn, which encapsulates if/else-if/else logic. Each argument to R.cond is a [predicate, transform] pair. All of the arguments to fn are applied to each of the predicates in turn until one returns a "truthy" value, at which point fn returns the result of applying its arguments to the corresponding transformer. If none of the predicates matches, fn returns undefined.

var fn = R.cond(
  [R.equals(0),   R.always('water freezes at 0°C')],
  [R.equals(100), R.always('water boils at 100°C')],
  [R.T,           function(temp) { return 'nothing special happens at ' + temp + '°C'; }]
);
fn(0); //=> 'water freezes at 0°C'

  // ...
];
R.map(R.construct(Widget), allConfigs); // a list of Widgets

constructN Function

  • Number n

    The arity of the constructor function.

  • function Fn

    The constructor function to wrap.

Returns function

A wrapped, curried constructor function.

Wraps a constructor function inside a curried function that can be called with the same arguments and returns the same type. The arity of the function returned is specified to allow using variadic constructor functions.

// Variadic constructor function
var Widget = function() {
  this.children = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
  // ...
};
Widget.prototype = {
  // ...
};
var allConfigs = [
  // ...

R.containsWith(function(a, b) { return a.x === b.x; }, {x: 1}, xs); //=> false

converge Function

  • function after

    A function. after will be invoked with the return values of fn1 and fn2 as its arguments.

  • function functions

    A variable number of functions.

Returns function

A new function.

Accepts at least three functions and returns a new function. When invoked, this new function will invoke the first function, after, passing as its arguments the results of invoking the subsequent functions with whatever arguments are passed to the new function.

var add = function(a, b) { return a + b; };
var multiply = function(a, b) { return a * b; };
var subtract = function(a, b) { return a - b; };

//≅ multiply( add(1, 2), subtract(1, 2) );
R.converge(multiply, add, subtract)(1, 2); //=> -3

var add3 = function(a, b, c) { return a + b + c; };

    The function used to map values to keys.

  • Array list

    The list to count elements from.

Returns Object

An object mapping keys to number of occurrences in the list.

Counts the elements of a list according to how many match each value of a key generated by the supplied function. Returns an object mapping the keys produced by fn to the number of occurrences in the list. Note that all keys are coerced to strings because of how JavaScript objects work.

var numbers = [1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, 3.0, 2.2];
var letters = R.split('', 'abcABCaaaBBc');
R.countBy(Math.floor)(numbers);    //=> {'1': 3, '2': 2, '3': 1}

  R.createMapEntry('must'),
  R.map(R.createMapEntry('match_phrase'))
);
matchPhrases(['foo', 'bar', 'baz']); //=> {must: [{match_phrase: 'foo'}, {match_phrase: 'bar'}, {match_phrase: 'baz'}]}

curry Function

  • function fn

    The function to curry.

Returns function

A new, curried function.

Returns a curried equivalent of the provided function. The curried function has two unusual capabilities. First, its arguments needn't be provided one at a time. If f is a ternary function and g is R.curry(f), the following are equivalent:

  • g(1)(2)(3)
  • g(1)(2, 3)
  • g(1, 2)(3)
  • g(1, 2, 3)

Secondly, the special placeholder value R.__ may be used to specify "gaps", allowing partial application of any combination of arguments, regardless of their positions. If g is as above and _ is R.__, the following are equivalent:

  • g(1, 2, 3)
  • g(_, 2, 3)(1)
  • g(_, _, 3)(1)(2)
  • g(_, _, 3)(1, 2)
  • g(_, 2)(1)(3)
  • g(_, 2)(1, 3)
  • g(_, 2)(_, 3)(1)
See also curryN.
var addFourNumbers = function(a, b, c, d) {
  return a + b + c + d;
};

var curriedAddFourNumbers = R.curry(addFourNumbers);
var f = curriedAddFourNumbers(1, 2);
var g = f(3);
g(4); //=> 10

curryN Function

  • Number length

    The arity for the returned function.

  • function fn

    The function to curry.

Returns function

A new, curried function.

Returns a curried equivalent of the provided function, with the specified arity. The curried function has two unusual capabilities. First, its arguments needn't be provided one at a time. If g is R.curryN(3, f), the following are equivalent:

  • g(1)(2)(3)
  • g(1)(2, 3)
  • g(1, 2)(3)
  • g(1, 2, 3)

Secondly, the special placeholder value R.__ may be used to specify "gaps", allowing partial application of any combination of arguments, regardless of their positions. If g is as above and _ is R.__, the following are equivalent:

  • g(1, 2, 3)
  • g(_, 2, 3)(1)
  • g(_, _, 3)(1)(2)
  • g(_, _, 3)(1, 2)
  • g(_, 2)(1)(3)
  • g(_, 2)(1, 3)
  • g(_, 2)(_, 3)(1)
See also curry.
var addFourNumbers = function() {
  return R.sum([].slice.call(arguments, 0, 4));

The accumulator can be an array, string, object or a transformer. Iterated items will be appended to arrays and concatenated to strings. Objects will be merged directly or 2-item arrays will be merged as key, value pairs.

The accumulator can also be a transformer object that provides a 2-arity reducing iterator function, step, 0-arity initial value function, init, and 1-arity result extraction function result. The step function is used as the iterator function in reduce. The result function is used to convert the final accumulator into the return type and in most cases is R.identity. The init function is used to provide the initial accumulator.

The iteration is performed with R.reduce after initializing the transducer.

    The list to be iterated over.

Returns Array

The new list.

Returns a new list, constructed by applying the supplied function to every element of the supplied list.

Note: R.map does not skip deleted or unassigned indices (sparse arrays), unlike the native Array.prototype.map method. For more details on this behavior, see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/map#Description

Acts as a transducer if a transformer is given in list position.

See also transduce.

    The function to be called on every element of the input list.

  • * acc

    The accumulator value.

  • Array list

    The list to iterate over.

Returns *

The mapAccum function behaves like a combination of map and reduce; it applies a function to each element of a list, passing an accumulating parameter from left to right, and returning a final value of this accumulator together with the new list.

The iterator function receives two arguments, acc and value, and should return a tuple [acc, value].

var digits = ['1', '2', '3', '4'];
var append = function(a, b) {
  return [a + b, a + b];
}

Similar to mapAccum, except moves through the input list from the right to the left.

The iterator function receives two arguments, acc and value, and should return a tuple [acc, value].

var digits = ['1', '2', '3', '4'];
var append = function(a, b) {
  return [a + b, a + b];
}

R.mapAccumRight(append, 0, digits); //=> ['04321', ['04321', '0432', '043', '04']]

See also addIndex.
var squareEnds = function(elt, idx, list) {
  if (idx === 0 || idx === list.length - 1) {

Accepts a function fn and returns a function that guards invocation of fn such that fn can only ever be called once, no matter how many times the returned function is invoked.

var addOneOnce = R.once(function(x){ return x + 1; });
addOneOnce(10); //=> 11
addOneOnce(addOneOnce(50)); //=> 11

or Logic

  • * a

    any value

  • * b

    any other value

Returns *

the first truthy argument, otherwise the last argument.

A function that returns the first truthy of two arguments otherwise the last argument. Note that this is NOT short-circuited, meaning that if expressions are passed they are both evaluated.

Dispatches to the or method of the first argument if applicable.

R.or(false, true); //=> true
R.or(0, []); //=> []
R.or(null, ''); => ''

partial Function

  • function fn

    The function to invoke.

  • * args

    Arguments to prepend to fn when the returned function is invoked.

Returns function

A new function wrapping fn. When invoked, it will call fn with args prepended to fn's arguments list.

Accepts as its arguments a function and any number of values and returns a function that, when invoked, calls the original function with all of the values prepended to the original function's arguments list. In some libraries this function is named applyLeft.

var multiply = function(a, b) { return a * b; };
var double = R.partial(multiply, 2);
double(2); //=> 4

var greet = function(salutation, title, firstName, lastName) {
  return salutation + ', ' + title + ' ' + firstName + ' ' + lastName + '!';
};
var sayHello = R.partial(greet, 'Hello');
var sayHelloToMs = R.partial(sayHello, 'Ms.');

partialRight Function

  • function fn

    The function to invoke.

  • * args

    Arguments to append to fn when the returned function is invoked.

Returns function

Accepts as its arguments a function and any number of values and returns a function that, when invoked, calls the original function with all of the values appended to the original function's arguments list.

Note that partialRight is the opposite of partial: partialRight fills fn's arguments from the right to the left. In some libraries this function is named applyRight.

var greet = function(salutation, title, firstName, lastName) {
  return salutation + ', ' + title + ' ' + firstName + ' ' + lastName + '!';

pipe Function

  • function functions

    A variable number of functions.

Returns function

A new function which represents the result of calling each of the input functions, passing the result of each function call to the next, from left to right.

Creates a new function that runs each of the functions supplied as parameters in turn, passing the return value of each function invocation to the next function invocation, beginning with whatever arguments were passed to the initial invocation.

pipe is the mirror version of compose. pipe is left-associative, which means that each of the functions provided is executed in order from left to right.

In some libraries this function is named sequence.

var triple = function(x) { return x * 3; };
var double = function(x) { return x * 2; };
var square = function(x) { return x * x; };

pipeP Function

  • function functions

    A variable number of functions.

Returns function

A new function which represents the result of calling each of the input functions, passing either the returned result or the asynchronously resolved value) of each function call to the next, from left to right.

Creates a new function that runs each of the functions supplied as parameters in turn, passing to the next function invocation either the value returned by the previous function or the resolved value if the returned value is a promise. In other words, if some of the functions in the sequence return promises, pipeP pipes the values asynchronously. If none of the functions return promises, the behavior is the same as that of pipe.

pipeP is the mirror version of composeP. pipeP is left-associative, which means that each of the functions provided is executed in order from left to right.

var Q = require('q');
var triple = function(x) { return x * 3; };
var double = function(x) { return x * 2; };
var squareAsync = function(x) { return Q.when(x * x); };

    The number of elements to return.

  • Array xs

    The collection to consider.

Returns Array

Returns a new list containing the first n elements of the given list. If n > list.length, returns a list of list.length elements.

Acts as a transducer if a transformer is given in list position.

R.take(1, ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']); //=> ['foo']
R.take(2, ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']); //=> ['foo', 'bar']
R.take(3, ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']); //=> ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']
R.take(4, ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']); //=> ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']
R.take(3, 'ramda');               //=> 'ram'

var personnel = [
  'Dave Brubeck',
  'Paul Desmond',
  'Eugene Wright',
  'Joe Morello',
  'Gerry Mulligan',
  'Bob Bates',
  'Joe Dodge',
  'Ron Crotty'
];

takeFive(personnel);
//=> ['Dave Brubeck', 'Paul Desmond', 'Eugene Wright', 'Joe Morello', 'Gerry Mulligan']

takeWhile List

  • function fn

    The function called per iteration.

  • Array list

    The collection to iterate over.

Returns Array

A new array.

Returns a new list containing the first n elements of a given list, passing each value to the supplied predicate function, and terminating when the predicate function returns false. Excludes the element that caused the predicate function to fail. The predicate function is passed one argument: (value).

Acts as a transducer if a transformer is given in list position.

See also transduce.
var isNotFour = function(x) {
  return !(x === 4);
};

R.takeWhile(isNotFour, [1, 2, 3, 4]); //=> [1, 2, 3]

tap Function

  • function fn

    The function to call with x. The return value of fn will be thrown away.

  • * x
Returns *

x.

Runs the given function with the supplied object, then returns the object.

var sayX = function(x) { console.log('x is ' + x); };
R.tap(sayX, 100); //=> 100
//-> 'x is 100'

test String

  • RegExp pattern
  • String str
Returns Boolean

Determines whether a given string matches a given regular expression.

R.test(/^x/, 'xyz'); //=> true
R.test(/^y/, 'xyz'); //=> false

times List

  • function fn

    The function to invoke. Passed one argument, the current value of n.

  • Number n

    A value between 0 and n - 1. Increments after each function call.

Returns Array

An array containing the return values of all calls to fn.

Calls an input function n times, returning an array containing the results of those function calls.

fn is passed one argument: The current value of n, which begins at 0 and is gradually incremented to n - 1.

R.times(R.identity, 5); //=> [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

toLower String

  • String str

    The string to lower case.

Returns String

The lower case version of str.

The lower case version of a string.

R.toLower('XYZ'); //=> 'xyz'

toPairs Object

  • Object obj

    The object to extract from

Returns Array

An array of key, value arrays from the object's own properties.

Converts an object into an array of key, value arrays. Only the object's own properties are used. Note that the order of the output array is not guaranteed to be consistent across different JS platforms.

R.toPairs({a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}); //=> [['a', 1], ['b', 2], ['c', 3]]

toPairsIn Object

  • Object obj

    The object to extract from

Returns Array

An array of key, value arrays from the object's own and prototype properties.

Converts an object into an array of key, value arrays. The object's own properties and prototype properties are used. Note that the order of the output array is not guaranteed to be consistent across different JS platforms.

var F = function() { this.x = 'X'; };
F.prototype.y = 'Y';
var f = new F();
R.toPairsIn(f); //=> [['x','X'], ['y','Y']]

toString String

  • * val
Returns String

Returns the string representation of the given value. eval'ing the output should result in a value equivalent to the input value. Many of the built-in toString methods do not satisfy this requirement.

If the given value is an [object Object] with a toString method other than Object.prototype.toString, this method is invoked with no arguments to produce the return value. This means user-defined constructor functions can provide a suitable toString method. For example:

function Point(x, y) {
  this.x = x;
  this.y = y;
}

Point.prototype.toString = function() {
  return 'new Point(' + this.x + ', ' + this.y + ')';
};

R.toString(new Point(1, 2)); //=> 'new Point(1, 2)'
R.toString(42); //=> '42'
R.toString('abc'); //=> '"abc"'
R.toString([1, 2, 3]); //=> '[1, 2, 3]'
R.toString({foo: 1, bar: 2, baz: 3}); //=> '{"bar": 2, "baz": 3, "foo": 1}'
R.toString(new Date('2001-02-03T04:05:06Z')); //=> 'new Date("2001-02-03T04:05:06.000Z")'

toUpper String

  • String str

    The string to upper case.

Returns String

The upper case version of str.

The upper case version of a string.

R.toUpper('abc'); //=> 'ABC'

transduce List

  • function xf

    The transducer function. Receives a transformer and returns a transformer.

  • function fn

    The iterator function. Receives two values, the accumulator and the current element from the array. Wrapped as transformer, if necessary, and used to initialize the transducer

  • * acc

    The initial accumulator value.

  • Array list

    The list to iterate over.

Returns *

The final, accumulated value.

Initializes a transducer using supplied iterator function. Returns a single item by iterating through the list, successively calling the transformed iterator function and passing it an accumulator value and the current value from the array, and then passing the result to the next call.

The iterator function receives two values: (acc, value). It will be wrapped as a transformer to initialize the transducer. A transformer can be passed directly in place of an iterator function. In both cases, iteration may be stopped early with the R.reduced function.

A transducer is a function that accepts a transformer and returns a transformer and can be composed directly.

A transformer is an an object that provides a 2-arity reducing iterator function, step, 0-arity initial value function, init, and 1-arity result extraction function, result. The step function is used as the iterator function in reduce. The result function is used to convert the final accumulator into the return type and in most cases is R.identity. The init function can be used to provide an initial accumulator, but is ignored by transduce.

The iteration is performed with R.reduce after initializing the transducer.

See also reduce, reduced, into.
var numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4];
var transducer = R.compose(R.map(R.add(1)), R.take(2));

R.transduce(transducer, R.flip(R.append), [], numbers); //=> [2, 3]

trim String

  • String str

    The string to trim.

Returns String

Trimmed version of str.

Removes (strips) whitespace from both ends of the string.

R.trim('   xyz  '); //=> 'xyz'
R.map(R.trim, R.split(',', 'x, y, z')); //=> ['x', 'y', 'z']

type Type

  • * val

    The value to test

Returns String

Gives a single-word string description of the (native) type of a value, returning such answers as 'Object', 'Number', 'Array', or 'Null'. Does not attempt to distinguish user Object types any further, reporting them all as 'Object'.

R.type({}); //=> "Object"
R.type(1); //=> "Number"
R.type(false); //=> "Boolean"
R.type('s'); //=> "String"
R.type(null); //=> "Null"
R.type([]); //=> "Array"
R.type(/[A-z]/); //=> "RegExp"

unapply Function

  • function fn
Returns function

Takes a function fn, which takes a single array argument, and returns a function which:

  • takes any number of positional arguments;
  • passes these arguments to fn as an array; and
  • returns the result.

In other words, R.unapply derives a variadic function from a function which takes an array. R.unapply is the inverse of R.apply.

See also apply.
R.unapply(JSON.stringify)(1, 2, 3); //=> '[1,2,3]'

unary Function

  • function fn

    The function to wrap.

Returns function

A new function wrapping fn. The new function is guaranteed to be of arity 1.

Wraps a function of any arity (including nullary) in a function that accepts exactly 1 parameter. Any extraneous parameters will not be passed to the supplied function.

var takesTwoArgs = function(a, b) {
  return [a, b];
};
takesTwoArgs.length; //=> 2
takesTwoArgs(1, 2); //=> [1, 2]

var takesOneArg = R.unary(takesTwoArgs);
takesOneArg.length; //=> 1
// Only 1 argument is passed to the wrapped function
takesOneArg(1, 2); //=> [1, undefined]

uncurryN Function

  • Number length

    The arity for the returned function.

  • function fn

    The function to uncurry.

Returns function

A new function.

Returns a function of arity n from a (manually) curried function.

See also curry.
var addFour = function(a) {
  return function(b) {
    return function(c) {
      return function(d) {
        return a + b + c + d;
      };
    };
  };
};

var uncurriedAddFour = R.uncurryN(4, addFour);
curriedAddFour(1, 2, 3, 4); //=> 10

unfold List

  • function fn

    The iterator function. receives one argument, seed, and returns either false to quit iteration or an array of length two to proceed. The element at index 0 of this array will be added to the resulting array, and the element at index 1 will be passed to the next call to fn.

  • * seed

    The seed value.

Returns Array

The final list.

Builds a list from a seed value. Accepts an iterator function, which returns either false to stop iteration or an array of length 2 containing the value to add to the resulting list and the seed to be used in the next call to the iterator function.

The iterator function receives one argument: (seed).

var f = function(n) { return n > 50 ? false : [-n, n + 10] };
R.unfold(f, 10); //=> [-10, -20, -30, -40, -50]

R.union([1, 2, 3], [2, 3, 4]); //=> [1, 2, 3, 4]

unionWith Relation

  • function pred

    A predicate used to test whether two items are equal.

  • Array list1

    The first list.

  • Array list2

    The second list.

Returns Array

The first and second lists concatenated, with duplicates removed.

Combines two lists into a set (i.e. no duplicates) composed of the elements of each list. Duplication is determined according to the value returned by applying the supplied predicate to two list elements.

See also union.
function cmp(x, y) { return x.a === y.a; }
var l1 = [{a: 1}, {a: 2}];
var l2 = [{a: 1}, {a: 4}];
R.unionWith(cmp, l1, l2); //=> [{a: 1}, {a: 2}, {a: 4}]

uniq List

  • Array list

    The array to consider.

Returns Array

The list of unique items.

Returns a new list containing only one copy of each element in the original list. R.equals is used to determine equality.

var strEq = function(a, b) { return String(a) === String(b); };
R.uniqWith(strEq)([1, '1', 2, 1]); //=> [1, 2]
R.uniqWith(strEq)([{}, {}]);       //=> [{}]
R.uniqWith(strEq)([1, '1', 1]);    //=> [1]
R.uniqWith(strEq)(['1', 1, 1]);    //=> ['1']

unnest List

  • Array list

    The array to consider.

Returns Array

The flattened list.

Returns a new list by pulling every item at the first level of nesting out, and putting them in a new array.

R.unnest([1, [2], [[3]]]); //=> [1, 2, [3]]
R.unnest([[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]); //=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

useWith Function

  • function fn

    The function to wrap.

  • function transformers

    A variable number of transformer functions

Returns function

The wrapped function.

Accepts a function fn and any number of transformer functions and returns a new function. When the new function is invoked, it calls the function fn with parameters consisting of the result of calling each supplied handler on successive arguments to the new function.

If more arguments are passed to the returned function than transformer functions, those arguments are passed directly to fn as additional parameters. If you expect additional arguments that don't need to be transformed, although you can ignore them, it's best to pass an identity function so that the new function reports the correct arity.

// Example 1:

// Number -> [Person] -> [Person]
var byAge = R.useWith(R.filter, R.propEq('age'), R.identity);

var kids = [
  {name: 'Abbie', age: 6},
  {name: 'Brian', age: 5},
  {name: 'Chris', age: 6},
  {name: 'David', age: 4},
  {name: 'Ellie', age: 5}
];

byAge(5, kids); //=> [{name: 'Brian', age: 5}, {name: 'Ellie', age: 5}]

// Example 2:

var double = function(y) { return y * 2; };
var square = function(x) { return x * x; };
var add = function(a, b) { return a + b; };
// Adds any number of arguments together
var addAll = function() {
  return R.reduce(add, 0, arguments);
};

// Basic example
var addDoubleAndSquare = R.useWith(addAll, double, square);

//≅ addAll(double(10), square(5));
addDoubleAndSquare(10, 5); //=> 45

// Example of passing more arguments than transformers
//≅ addAll(double(10), square(5), 100);
addDoubleAndSquare(10, 5, 100); //=> 145

// If there are extra _expected_ arguments that don't need to be transformed, although
// you can ignore them, it might be best to pass in the identity function so that the new
// function correctly reports arity.
var addDoubleAndSquareWithExtraParams = R.useWith(addAll, double, square, R.identity);
// addDoubleAndSquareWithExtraParams.length //=> 3
//≅ addAll(double(10), square(5), R.identity(100));
addDoubleAndSquare(10, 5, 100); //=> 145

values Object

valuesIn Object

  • Object obj

    The object to extract values from

Returns Array

An array of the values of the object's own and prototype properties.

Returns a list of all the properties, including prototype properties, of the supplied object. Note that the order of the output array is not guaranteed to be consistent across different JS platforms.

var F = function() { this.x = 'X'; };
F.prototype.y = 'Y';
var f = new F();
R.valuesIn(f); //=> ['X', 'Y']

where Object

  • Object spec
  • Object testObj
Returns Boolean

Takes a spec object and a test object; returns true if the test satisfies the spec. Each of the spec's own properties must be a predicate function. Each predicate is applied to the value of the corresponding property of the test object. where returns true if all the predicates return true, false otherwise.

where is well suited to declaratively expressing constraints for other functions such as filter and find.

// pred :: Object -> Boolean
var pred = R.where({
  a: R.equals('foo'),
  b: R.complement(R.equals('bar')),
  x: R.gt(_, 10),
  y: R.lt(_, 20)
});

pred({a: 'foo', b: 'xxx', x: 11, y: 19}); //=> true
pred({a: 'xxx', b: 'xxx', x: 11, y: 19}); //=> false
pred({a: 'foo', b: 'bar', x: 11, y: 19}); //=> false
pred({a: 'foo', b: 'xxx', x: 10, y: 19}); //=> false
pred({a: 'foo', b: 'xxx', x: 11, y: 20}); //=> false

whereEq Object

  • Object spec
  • Object testObj
Returns Boolean

Takes a spec object and a test object; returns true if the test satisfies the spec, false otherwise. An object satisfies the spec if, for each of the spec's own properties, accessing that property of the object gives the same value (in R.equals terms) as accessing that property of the spec.

whereEq is a specialization of where.

See also where.
// pred :: Object -> Boolean
var pred = R.whereEq({a: 1, b: 2});

pred({a: 1});              //=> false
pred({a: 1, b: 2});        //=> true
pred({a: 1, b: 2, c: 3});  //=> true
pred({a: 1, b: 1});        //=> false

wrap Function

  • function fn

    The function to wrap.

  • function wrapper

    The wrapper function.

Returns function

The wrapped function.

Wrap a function inside another to allow you to make adjustments to the parameters, or do other processing either before the internal function is called or with its results.

var greet = function(name) {return 'Hello ' + name;};

var shoutedGreet = R.wrap(greet, function(gr, name) {
  return gr(name).toUpperCase();
});
shoutedGreet("Kathy"); //=> "HELLO KATHY"

var shortenedGreet = R.wrap(greet, function(gr, name) {
  return gr(name.substring(0, 3));
});
shortenedGreet("Robert"); //=> "Hello Rob"

  • Array list2

    The second array to consider.

Returns Array

The list made by pairing up same-indexed elements of list1 and list2.
