Question 1

How do I use 1-liners with a framework like React?

Accepted Answer

1-liners can be imported directly into React components using ES6 imports, such as `import map from '1-liners/map'`. Since it's pure JavaScript, integration is straightforward, but you'll need to handle state immutably to align with React's best practices for functional components.

Question 2

Is 1-liners better than Lodash for functional programming?

Accepted Answer

1-liners is more focused on simplicity and pure functional utilities, with each function being a one-liner and immutable. Lodash offers a broader range of utilities, including performance-optimized versions, but 1-liners is lighter and strictly adheres to functional principles. Choose based on your need for clarity versus comprehensiveness.

Question 3

How to import multiple functions from 1-liners without bloating my bundle?

Accepted Answer

Use the micro-module imports: `import { map, filter } from '1-liners/module'` for ES6, or require individual modules in ES5. This ensures only the needed functions are bundled, leveraging tree-shaking in modern build tools like Webpack or Rollup.

Question 4

Does 1-liners have TypeScript support?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't mention TypeScript definitions, so you might need to create or find third-party type definitions. This lack of built-in support could be a drawback for TypeScript users seeking type-safe functional utilities.

Question 5

What are the performance benchmarks for 1-liners compared to native methods?

Accepted Answer

1-liners functions are simple one-liners, so they should be close to native performance, but for critical paths, native methods might be faster due to engine optimizations. The library prioritizes clarity and purity over micro-optimizations, as noted in its design philosophy.

Question 6

How can I contribute to 1-liners or suggest new functions?

Accepted Answer

Check the GitHub repository for contribution guidelines. Since it follows a strict decalogue, new functions must adhere to the one-line rule and other principles, making contributions challenging but aligned with the project's ethos of simplicity and reliability.
