nanoutils

Tiniest JavaScript utils library

Usage

First, install nanoutils:

$ npm install --save nanoutils

or install it with yarn:

$ yarn add nanoutils

To use ES modules we wrote a plugin babel-plugin-nanoutils

To install:

$ npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-nanoutils

or

$ yarn add --dev babel-plugin-nanoutils

Using .babelrc:

{
  "preset": ["env"]
+ "plugins": ["nanoutils"]
}

via CLI:

{
  "scripts": {
+   "babel": "babel --plugins nanoutils app.js",
    "test": "jest && eslint ."
  }
}

or with Node API:

const babel = require('babel-core')
 
babel.transform('code', {
+ plugins: ['nanoutils']
})

Examples

Sort array of values by name alphabetically or by age

import { ascend, az, prop, sortBy } from 'nanoutils'
 
const sortByName = sortBy(az(prop('name')))
const sortByAge = sortBy(ascend(prop('age')))
 
const consultants = [
  { name: 'Mike', age: 30 },
  { name: 'David', age: 35 },
  { name: 'Alex', age: 25 }
]
 
sortByName(consultants)     // [{ name: 'Alex', age: 25 }, { name: 'David', age: 35 }, { name: 'Mike', age: 30 }]
sortByAge(consultants)     // [{ name: 'Alex', age: 25 }, { name: 'Mike', age: 30 }, { name: 'David', age: 35 }]

Find sum of all ages which will be even next year

import { add, filterT, mapT, pipeT, prop, transduce } from 'nanoutils'
 
const isEven = value => value % 2 === 0
 
const sumOfAllEvenAgesNextYear = array => transduce(
  pipeT(
    mapT(prop('age')),
    mapT(add(1)),
    filterT(isEven),
  ),
  add,
  0,
  array
)
 
const consultants = [
  { name: 'Mike', age: 30 },
  { name: 'David', age: 35 },
  { name: 'Alex', age: 25 }
]
 
sumOfAllEvenAgesNextYear(ages)   // 62

Return memoized mean

import { ascend, identity, join, mean, memoizeWith, sort } from 'nanoutils'
 
const getHash = pipe(
  sort(ascend(identity)),
  join('-')
)
const memoizedMean = memoizeWith(getHash, mean)
 
memoizedMean([1, 2, 3])   // 2
memoizedMean([1, 2, 3])   // 2 (extracts from memoizeWith function with hash='1-2-3')
memoizedMean([3, 1, 2])   // 2 (extracts from memoizeWith function with hash='1-2-3')

Inspiration

We support nano-hype in JavaScript and want to create as much nano-things as possible.
So we're starting a challenge - write Ramda clone where no one method will be over 1KB size.
More nano's for the God of nano's!

Basic ideas

• Functional style. FP is cool, isn't it? 😎 So we'll add some Ramda methods too.
• No ES6 features. We don't use Babel to save support in older browsers and save a status of nano-library.
• Use methods composition only if it won't greatly increase the size of method

Can I use it in my project?

It's production-ready but still has following drawbacks:

• No TS/Flow types

It's also a Ramda-supportive, you can see both docs and types here: Ramda docs

Roadmap

• Create methods list
• Complete all needed methods (we get list of methods from Ramda) with 100% tests and types coverage
• Add documentation for all methods
• Create a tool to split nanoutils to separated packages
• Cover all methods with performance tests
• Reduce methods sizes even more
• Compare to lodash, underscore (?)

NPM scripts

If you want to help, here are some tools for you.

Shortcut for new methods

npm run method:add <...methods> -- [flags]
yarn method:add <...methods> -- [flags]

Params:
    methods           List with method names (separated by space)

Flags:
    -f                Overwrite methods (if exists)
    --curried         Add curried method
                      you can use --curried=<N> to add curryN
    --types           Add index.d.ts and index.js.flow for method typings
    --perf            Add <method>.performance.js for performance test of method

It will create lib/method dir with following files:

index.js                File with method
index.d.ts              TypeScript typings (if --types passed)
index.js.flow           Flow type declaration (if --types passed)
method.test.js          Test for method (I use Jest)
method.performance.js   Performance test for method (if --perf passed)

Check sizes of methods

npm run size <...methods>
yarn size <...methods>

Params
methods           List of method names (separated by space) you want to check.
                  If no methods it will check size of all methods

Check time of methods

npm run time <...methods>
yarn time <...methods>


Params
methods           List of method names (separated by space) you want to check.
                  If no methods it will check time of all possible methods (which have *.performance.js file)
                  If type is set as no_perf (by default), it will throw an error: max.performance.js must have data to return

Check ramda/nanoutils diff

npm run method:check <type>
yarn method:check <type>

Params
type           What to display?
               - both: display methods that are both in ramda and nanoutils
               - nano: display nanoutils methods that ramda doesn't have
               - ramda: display ramda methods that nanoutils doesn't have

We use size-limit to check the size of methods.
