contra
A lightweight JavaScript library for asynchronous flow control with a functional programming style.
What is contra?
Contra is a JavaScript library for asynchronous flow control that provides utilities like waterfall, concurrent execution, and functional iterators (map, each, filter). It solves the problem of managing async operations in a clean, functional style while keeping the library size minimal. It's particularly tailored for browser environments where small bundle sizes are crucial.
Frontend developers and Node.js developers who need a lightweight, focused alternative to larger async libraries like Async.js, especially those working in browser contexts where bundle size is a concern.
Developers choose Contra for its tiny footprint (~2.7k minified), consistent API using collections for all methods, and functional programming style. It offers a more focused and browser-optimized alternative to comprehensive libraries, reducing overhead while covering common async patterns.
