Rambda
Rambda
is smaller and faster alternative to the popular functional programming library Ramda. - Documentation
❯ Example use
import { compose, map, filter } from 'rambda'
const result = compose(
map(x => x * 2),
filter(x => x > 2)
)([1, 2, 3, 4])
// => [6, 8]
You can test this example in Rambda's REPL
❯ Rambda's advantages
TypeScript included
TypeScript definitions are included in the library, in comparison to Ramda, where you need to additionally install @types/ramda
.
Still, you need to be aware that functional programming features in TypeScript
are in development, which means that using R.compose/R.pipe can be problematic.
Important - Rambda version 7.1.0
(or higher) requires TypeScript version 4.3.3
(or higher).
Understandable source code due to little usage of internals
Ramda
uses a lot of internals, which hides a lot of logic. Reading the full source code of a method can be challenging.
Better VSCode experience
If the project is written in Javascript, then go to source definition
action will lead you to actual implementation of the method.
Immutable TS definitions
You can use immutable version of Rambda definitions, which is linted with ESLint functional/prefer-readonly-type
plugin.
import {add} from 'rambda/immutable'
Deno support
Latest version of Ramba available for Deno
users is 3 years old. This is not the case with Rambda as most of recent releases are available for Deno
users.
Also, Rambda
provides you with included TS definitions:
// Deno extension(https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=denoland.vscode-deno)
// is installed and initialized
import * as R from "https://deno.land/x/rambda/mod.ts";
import * as Ramda from "https://deno.land/x/ramda/mod.ts";
R.add(1)('foo') // => will trigger warning in VSCode as it should
Ramda.add(1)('foo') // => will not trigger warning in VSCode
Dot notation for R.path
, R.paths
, R.assocPath
and R.lensPath
Standard usage of R.path
is R.path(['a', 'b'], {a: {b: 1} })
.
In Rambda you have the choice to use dot notation(which is arguably more readable):
R.path('a.b', {a: {b: 1} })
Please note that since path input is turned into array, i.e. if you want R.path(['a','1', 'b'], {a: {'1': {b: 2}}})
to return 2
, you will have to pass array path, not string path. If you pass a.1.b
, it will turn path input to ['a', 1, 'b']
.
The other side effect is in R.assocPath
and R.dissocPath
, where inputs such as ['a', '1', 'b']
will be turned into ['a', 1, 'b']
.
Comma notation for R.pick
and R.omit
Similar to dot notation, but the separator is comma(,
) instead of dot(.
).
R.pick('a,b', {a: 1 , b: 2, c: 3} })
// No space allowed between properties
Speed
Rambda is generally more performant than Ramda
as the benchmarks can prove that.
Support
One of the main issues with Ramda
is the slow process of releasing new versions. This is not the case with Rambda as releases are made on regular basis.
❯ Missing Ramda methods
- construct - Using classes is not very functional programming oriented.
- constructN - same as above
- into - no support for transducer as it is overly complex to implement, understand and read.
- invert - overly complicated and limited use case
- invertObj
- invoker
- keysIn - we shouldn't encourage extending object with
.prototype
- lift
- liftN
- mapAccum -
Ramda
example doesn't looks convincing - mapAccumRight
- memoizeWith - hard to imagine its usage in context of
R.pipe
/R.compose
- mergeDeepWith - limited use case
- mergeDeepWithKey
- mergeWithKey
- nAry - hard to argument about and hard to create meaningful TypeScript definitions
- nthArg - limited use case
- o - enough TypeScript issues with
R.pipe
/R.compose
to add more composition methods - otherwise - naming is confusing
- pair -
left-pad
types of debacles happens partially because of such methods that should not be hidden, bur rather part of your code base even if they need to exist. - partialRight - I dislike
R.partial
, so I don't want to add more methods that are based on it - pipeWith
- project - naming is confusing, but also limited use case
- promap
- reduceRight - I find
right/left
methods confusing so I added them only where it makes sense. - reduceWhile - functions with 4 inputs - I think that even 3 is too much
- reduced
- remove - nice name but it is too generic. Also,
Rambdax
has such method and there it works very differently - scan - hard to explain
- sequence
- splitWhenever
- symmetricDifferenceWith
- andThen
- toPairsIn
- transduce - currently is out of focus
- traverse - same as above
- unary
- uncurryN
- unfold - similar to
R.scan
and I find that it doesn't help with readability - unionWith - why it has its usage, I want to limit number of methods that accept more than 2 arguments
- until
- useWith - hard to explain
- valuesIn
- xprod - limited use case
- thunkify
- __ - placeholder method allows user to further customize the method call. While, it seems useful initially, the price is too high in terms of complexity for TypeScript definitions. If it is not easy exressable in TypeScript, it is not worth it as Rambda is a TypeScript first library.
The following methods are not going to be added(reason for exclusion is provided as a comment):
❯ Install
yarn add rambda
For UMD usage either use
./dist/rambda.umd.js
or the following CDN link:
https://unpkg.com/rambda@CURRENT_VERSION/dist/rambda.umd.js
- with deno
import {add} from "https://deno.land/x/rambda/mod.ts";
Differences between Rambda and Ramda
Rambda's type detects async functions and unresolved
Promises
. The returned values are'Async'
and'Promise'
.Rambda's type handles NaN input, in which case it returns
NaN
.Rambda's forEach can iterate over objects not only arrays.
Rambda's map, filter, partition when they iterate over objects, they pass property and input object as predicate's argument.
Rambda's filter returns empty array with bad input(
null
orundefined
), while Ramda throws.Ramda's clamp work with strings, while Rambda's method work only with numbers.
Ramda's indexOf/lastIndexOf work with strings and lists, while Rambda's method work only with lists as iterable input.
Error handling, when wrong inputs are provided, may not be the same. This difference will be better documented once all brute force tests are completed.
TypeScript definitions between
rambda
and@types/ramda
may vary.
If you need more Ramda methods in Rambda, you may either submit a
PR
or check the extended version of Rambda - Rambdax. In case of the former, you may want to consult with Rambda contribution guidelines.
❯ Benchmarks
There are methods which are benchmarked only with Ramda
and Rambda
(i.e. no Lodash
).
Note that some of these methods, are called with and without curring. This is done in order to give more detailed performance feedback.
The benchmarks results are produced from latest versions of Rambda, Lodash(4.17.21) and Ramda(0.30.1).

clamp
Restrict a number input
to be within min
and max
limits.
If input
is bigger than max
, then the result is max
.
If input
is smaller than min
, then the result is min
.
Try this R.clamp example in Rambda REPL
clone
It creates a deep copy of the input
, which may contain (nested) Arrays and Objects, Numbers, Strings, Booleans and Dates.
