C. Client-Side Technologies That Go Well with F# > Underscore.js
Underscore.js
In Chapter 5, I briefly
pointed out a library named prelude.ls
that provides a number of functions that allow you to write web-centric,
client-side code with a more functional style. Underscore.js was written by the same person who
created CoffeeScript and it has a similar goal as prelude.ls, but with more features (not all of
which are specifically targeted at a functional style).
The Underscore.js site contains a large number of examples, so I will only provide a quick, high-level list of features:
-
Collection-related functions include
map,reduce,filter,all,any,sortBy, andgroupBy. -
Array-related functions include
first,last,union,intersect,flatten, andzip. -
Helper functions include
bind,memoize,throttle, andonce.
