Those recent years Functional Programming paradigms became more present in the JavaScript ecosystem. From the first functional approach I saw from underscore library, many years passed, and we are now at a place where many of us see the benefits in writing code this way and immutability in mind.
Still, all the functional jargon can be a barrier for beginners. Not only individuals that want to get their heads into functional programming, but also teams that have use-cases of complex data manipulation and don't see the benefit from using an functional programming library.
When I was digging into ramda, I found the Ramda documentation has a list of all the methods and some crazy examples in addition to a more helpful a wiki resource: What-Function-Should-I-Use that I still use from time to time.
So, I decided to help and create a little UI to interactively find the method that works for you. Hope you enjoy it!
If you still are lost with the functional programming glossary I would recommend taking a look at hemanth/functional-programming-jargon
- Many thanks to Josep Martins for designing the UI & teach me how.
- Kudos to Sarah Drasner (@sdras) for inspiring me with: https://sdras.github.io/array-explorer
- Kudos to Stefano Vozza (@svozza) for creating all the documentation https://github.com/ramda/ramda/wiki/What-Function-Should-I-Use
I want to improve the example code snippets. Right now, I got all of them from ramda jsdoc's source code, the same ones in ramdajs.com/docs.
Many times I don't find them useful, so I would love your help on improve it. Could suggest some new code examples for some methods and hopefully someday we could improve the official docs!
