You can look at yogsototh's blogpost for the idea of higher order functions in zsh.
If you are lazy just paste the following lines in your terminal:
cd /tmp && \
curl -O https://raw.github.com/Tarrasch/zsh-functional/master/install.sh && \
chmod u+x install.sh && . ./install.sh && \rm -f ./install.sh
If you want to do it manually, clone this repo to ~/.zsh/functional and add
. ~/.zsh/functional/functional.plugin.zsh
to your .zshrc
If you use antigen, you can simply add
antigen-bundle Tarrasch/zsh-functional
Among your other antigen-bundle commands.
Here are some examples:
$ mapa '$1*2' {1..3}
2
4
6
$ folda '$1+$2' {1..5}
15
$ folda '$acc+$x' {1..5}
15
$ filter 'echo $1|grep a >/dev/null' ab cd ef ada
ab
ada
$ map 'X $1:t Y' ~/.zsh/functional/src/*
X each Y
X filter Y
X fold Y
X map Y
$ map 'result $1' $(mapa '$1+5' $(mapa '$1*2' {1..3}))
result 7
result 9
result 11
$ echo "1\n2\n3" | mapa '$1*2' | mapa '$1+5' | map 'result $1'
result 7
result 9
result 11
Here are some examples with named functions:
$ insideXY(){print -- "X $1 Y"}
$ eachf insideXY a b c d
X a Y
X b Y
X c Y
X d Y
$ add(){print -- $(($1+$2))}
$ foldf add {1..5}
15
Please refer to the tests for complete specifications. The advantages of the cram tests are that they are validated and readable.
Furthermore, the commands will print out their --help if they are provided no arguments.
I found the lambda expression versions most useful hence they have the shortest (plain) name. Functions ending with an f are those taking in a named function and functions ending with an a will take an arithmetic lambda expression. The examples above should clarify the syntax.
map is simply each with an implicit echo, it should feel somewhat intuitive for ruby developers. Note how mapa exists but not eacha, and the contrary for mapf and eachf.
All functions will read from stdin if no arguments are given to them. Please see tests/filter.t For a test that lazily generates the first 10 primes.
Good idea! Just add a test and implement the new functionality and send away your pull request! :)
We test like antigen does testing.
Yann Esposito for the HoF idea and big thanks to Sterling's blogpost for discovering and starting implementing the anonymous function features.
