bethlehem

Bethlehem is a minimal functional programming library for JavaScript. It is inspired by Ramda but has some significant differences.

Usage

First, install bethlehem (tips: because there are known problems before v1.3.0, it is better to set your minimum version of bethlehem to 1.3.0):

yarn add bethlehem@^1.3.0
# or npm
npm i bethlehem@^1.3.0

Then, cherry-pick the function(s) you want:

import { compose, add } from 'bethlehem'
// you can use cjs if you don't want tree-shaking
const { compose, add } = require('bethlehem')

Or import everything:

import * as B from 'bethlehem'
// you can use cjs if you don't want tree-shaking
const B = require('bethlehem')

Because bethlehem specified ESM build file in the module field of package.json, your module bundler will do tree-shaking for you.

If you want to use bethlehem without any bundler with your browser, you can use the UMD build. Add a script tag to your HTML file:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/bethlehem/dist/b.umd.production.js"></script>

And you can access everything in the B global variable.

Documentation

Benchmark

The benchmarks between bethlehem, ramda and rambda is still a work in progress. There is an external repo that stores some benchmark data about possible internal implementations of bethlehem.

Development

Before running any command, install all the dependencies using yarn install or npm install.

yarn watch
# or npm
npm run watch

This will run ava in watch mode. Test suite will be rerun if there's any change in src or in the test file.

yarn test
# or npm
npm run test

This will run ava in verbose mode. All test suites will be ran and their titles will be displayed in the output.

yarn build
# or npm
npm run build

This will build all source code and put them in the dist folder. Declarations will be also built.

yarn build:docs
# or npm
npm run build:docs

This will build the documents into the docs folder using TypeDoc.
