Question 1

How to install and use ramda-extension with npm?

Accepted Answer

Install it via npm with 'npm install ramda-extension'. It requires Ramda as a peer dependency, so ensure Ramda is installed first. Then, import functions directly in your code, similar to how you use Ramda.

Question 2

Ramda-extension vs Ramda: which one should I use for my project?

Accepted Answer

Use core Ramda for basic functional utilities; ramda-extension is best when you need additional helpers not in Ramda. If you're already using Ramda, ramda-extension seamlessly extends it without breaking changes.

Question 3

Does ramda-extension work with React or other frontend frameworks?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ramda-extension is framework-agnostic and can be used with React, Vue, Angular, or any JavaScript environment. It provides utility functions for data transformation and state management in these contexts.

Question 4

How to integrate ramda-extension with TypeScript for better type checking?

Accepted Answer

Ramda-extension includes built-in TypeScript definitions. After installation, import the functions, and TypeScript will automatically infer types, enhancing code safety and IDE support without extra configuration.

Question 5

What are some example functions in ramda-extension that aren't in Ramda?

Accepted Answer

Functions like 'mergeDeep' for deep object merging, 'pathOr' with default values, and additional array manipulation utilities. Check the GitHub repository or documentation for a full list and examples.

Question 6

Is ramda-extension good for small projects or only large applications?

Accepted Answer

It can be used in projects of any size, but its value is higher in larger codebases already using Ramda. For small projects, evaluate if the specific utilities justify the added dependency over core Ramda alone.
