A JavaScript library providing a collection of Algebraic Data Types (ADTs) like Maybe and Either for functional programming.
Crocks is a JavaScript library that provides a curated collection of Algebraic Data Types (ADTs) such as Maybe, Either, and IO. It solves the problem of writing safer, more predictable code by offering functional programming constructs with a consistent interface and comprehensive helper functions.
JavaScript developers interested in functional programming, especially those looking to incorporate ADTs and declarative patterns into their applications.
Developers choose Crocks for its well-designed ADTs, extensive utility functions, and modular architecture that supports both full-library usage and tree-shaking for optimized bundles.
A collection of well known Algebraic Data Types for your utter enjoyment.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Curates essential ADTs like Maybe, Either, and IO with consistent interfaces, enabling safer error handling and side-effect management as outlined in the README.
Includes eight classifications of utilities—from combinators to predicates—providing all necessary tools for declarative workflows without external dependencies.
Allows individual entity imports to optimize bundle size for frontend apps, demonstrated in the README's CommonJS and ES modules examples.
Offers point-free functions for every algebra, facilitating clean, composable code without directly referencing data parameters.
Requires mastery of functional concepts like monads and ADTs, which the README assumes familiarity with, making it inaccessible for developers new to FP.
Has fewer integrations and community resources compared to mainstream libraries like Lodash, potentially increasing development time for niche use cases.
The API docs are comprehensive but dense, with minimal beginner-friendly tutorials, which the contributors list hints at through external video links.
