##Match
A basic port of Rust's match function.
##Install
npm install rust-match --save
import match from 'rust-match'
You can get the UMD build from /umd
, or use it in a script tag from npmcdn:
<script src="https://npmcdn.com/rust-match/umd/match.min.js"></script>
##Examples
let message = 'hello'
let response = match(message, [
hello => 'the value is hello',
goodbye => 'hello to you too!',
_ => 'something else'
])
console.log(response) // prints 'the value is hello'
//numbers and spaces are more verbose
let number = '26'
match(number, {
5: () => console.log('the value is hi'),
'test word': () => console.log('the value is test word'),
_: (value) => console.log(`you chose ${value}!`)
})
##Exhaustive Checking
match('test', [
awesome => console.log('awesome')
])
//throws: error: non-exhaustive patterns: `_` not covered, just like rust!
##Usage with Redux
This also turns out to be a nice alternative to using switch statements in redux!
export default (state = Immutable.Map, action) => {
return match(action.type, [
authenticate => state.merge(action),
setToken => state.set('token', 'test')
_ => state
])
}
