fjs.compose

fjs.compose facilitates multiple function composition. This is the generation of a higher order function by combining simpler functions.

Usage

fjs.compose(functions);

Example with 2 functions

var f = function (a) {
    return "hello " + a;
};
var g = function (a) {
    return a + 1;
};
var composed = fjs.compose(f, g);
composed(1); // => "hello 2"

The output from the right-most function is passed as the argument to the next function on the left, “hello 2” is then returned as a single result.

Example with 3 functions

var e = function (a) {
    return "hello " + a;
};
var f = function (a) {
    return a + 1;
};
var g = function (a) {
    return a * 100;
};
var composed = fjs.compose(e, f, g);
composed(2); // => "hello 201"

This example illustrates the combining of multiple functions, passing the output from function “g” as a parameter to function “f”, then passing the output from function “f” as a parameter to function “e”. “hello 201” is then returned as a single result.
