Overview

• Similar to [].concat.apply([], [].map()) but more functional and compositionally friendly.
• Optionally, a dot-notation formatted string may be provided for item property access.

API Example

Basic

var mapcat = require('array-mapcat')
var splitword = (sentance) => sentance.split(/\s+/)
var sentences = [ 'two birds', 'three green peas' ]

mapcat(splitword, sentences)
//=> ['two', 'birds', 'three', 'green', 'peas']

Dot-notation object access

var mapcat = require('array-mapcat')
var listmodel = [
  { list: [1, 2, 3] },
  { list: [4, 5, 6] },
  { list: [7, 8, 9] }
]

mapcat('list', listmodel)
//=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Pointfree Style

var mapcat = require('array-mapcat')
var listmodel = Promise.resolve([
  { list: [1, 2, 3] },
  { list: [4, 5, 6] },
  { list: [7, 8, 9] }
])

listmodel.then(mapcat('list'))
//=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
