Functional Programming

WIP.

Underscore / Lodash

Lodash Chaining:

• explicit, similar to underscore: _.chain(numbers).map(n => n/2 === 0).value()

• implicit, if the result is a single value: _(numbers).map(n => n/2 === 0).sum()

Difference between .throttle and .debounce?

• throttle: At most that fast, usually used when invoking source happens really frequently. Such as when typing to seach, don't send too many requests, scroll, mouse move, etc.

• debounce: wait till no change. Such as calc layout when resize is finished.

Convert an object into a list of [key, value] pairs.

_.pairs({one: 1, two: 2, three: 3});
=> [["one", 1], ["two", 2], ["three", 3]]

how to union with array?

a = [1, 2]
b = [3, 4, 5]
c = [6]

console.log _.union(a, b, c)

arr = [a, b, c]
console.log _.union.apply(_, arr)

_.each cannot break out

It's also good to note that an each loop cannot be broken out of — to break, use _.find instead.

use _.find for array and _.findKey(obj, (v, k)=>()) for object

How to convert a details array to a map?

This is a collection reduces to a single object. Use reduce. Borrowed from: https://github.com/rackt/react-router/blob/master/examples/sidebar/data.js
