Fairmont
Fairmont is a family of JavaScript libraries for functional reactive programming. Fairmont takes full advantage of ES6+ features like iterators (including async iterators), generators, and promises. Inspired by libraries like Underscore and many others, Fairmont features include:
- reactive programming support through async iterators
- lazy evaluation on collection operations via iterators
- core functional operations, like currying and composition
- bridge functions for integrating with OOP-based libraries
- common file and stream based operations
- streams and event emitters modeled as asynchronous iterators
- observers for reacting to changes in state
- unifies synchronous and asynchronous programming models
Examples
Here's a simple reactive Web app implementing a counter using Fairmont's Reactive programming functions.
In JavaScript:
var $ = require("jquery"),
F = require("fairmont");
$(function() {
var data = { counter: 0 };
F.go([
F.events("click", $("a[href='#increment']")),
F.map(function() { data.counter++; })
]);
F.go([
F.events("change", F.observe(data)),
F.map(function() {
$("p.counter")
.html(data.counter);
})
]);
});
In CoffeeScript:
{start, flow, events, map, observe} = require "fairmont-reactive"
$ = require "jquery"
$ ->
data = counter: 0
go [
events "click", $("a[href='#increment']")
map -> data.counter++
]
go [
events "change", observe data
map ->
$("p.counter")
.html data.counter
]
