fun
stands for "functional", but also functional programming can be fun. This library contains some typical metafunctions for functional programming, such as map
, some
, all
, curry
, as well as others.
Functions that take an array as their second argument are available as methods in the arrays created by Module:array, with the arguments reversed so that they can be called as methods.
It was started in a user sandbox (Module:User:Erutuon/functional). It is not to be confused with Lua Fun (of which there is a version at Module:User:Erutuon/luafun), even though some functions are similar.
The functions that take a table as their second argument will treat the table as an array if t
is not nil
, and use ipairs
. Otherwise, they will treat it as a hashmap, using pairs
.
function map(func, iterable)
func
on every element in iterable
and return the resulting table. iterable
may be a table or a string. If a table, the function operates on every element in the array portion of the table; if a string, the function operates on every UTF-8 character in the string. The function func
has the following signature: func(member, i, iterable)
. That is, the table element or UTF-8 character is first, then the index of this element, and then the iterable value (table or string).function mapIter(func, iterator, iterable, initial_value)
sortedPairs
in Module:table. func
has the same signature described above. Not very useful with gmatch
; func
would have a nil
first argument, because the single value returned from the iterator would be supplied as the second argument to func
.mapIter(
function(parameter_value, parameter_name)
return { parameter_name, parameter_value }
end,
sortedPairs(frame.args))
--> returns a sorted array of arrays containing parameter names and values

Return {true} if the input is a function or functor (an object which can be called like a function, because it has a {__call} metamethod).
Note: if the input is an object with a {__call} metamethod, but this function is not able to find it because the object's metatable is protected with {__metatable}, then it will return {false} by default, or {nil} if the {allow_maybe} flag is set.]==]

Takes the usual for-loop parameters (an iterator, plus an optional state and initial index), and unrolls the iterator by returning every (first) value returned by the iterator.
For instance, {unroll(pairs(t))} will return every key in {t}, and {unroll(string.gmatch(s, "%w+"))} will return every word in {s}.]==]

--[==[
Takes a generator function (i.e. a function that returns an iterator, such as {ipairs}) and one or more additional functions, and returns a new generator function. Any arguments given to the new generator (e.g. an input table) are given to the original generator, and the additional functions are called on each iteration. The first additional function takes the output from the original iterator (i.e. the function returned by the original generator), and any further functions receive the output value(s) from the previous function. This can be used to modify the values returned from an iterator.]==]
