reduce

((a, b) → a) → a → [b] → a

Parameters

• fnThe iterator function. Receives two values, the accumulator and the current element from the array.
• accThe accumulator value.
• listThe list to iterate over.

Returns * The final, accumulated value.

Added in v0.1.0

Returns a single item by iterating through the list, successively calling the iterator function and passing it an accumulator value and the current value from the array, and then passing the result to the next call.

The iterator function receives two values: (acc, value). It may use R.reduced to shortcut the iteration.

The arguments’ order of reduceRight‘s iterator function is (value, acc).

Note: R.reduce does not skip deleted or unassigned indices (sparse arrays), unlike the native Array.prototype.reduce method. For more details on this behavior, see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/reduce#Description

Be cautious of mutating and returning the accumulator. If you reuse it across invocations, it will continue to accumulate onto the same value. The general recommendation is to always return a new value. If you can’t do so for performance reasons, then be sure to reinitialize the accumulator on each invocation.

Dispatches to the reduce method of the third argument, if present. When doing so, it is up to the user to handle the R.reduced shortcuting, as this is not implemented by reduce.

See also reduced, addIndex, reduceRight.

R.reduce(R.subtract, 0, [1, 2, 3, 4]) // => ((((0 - 1) - 2) - 3) - 4) = -10
//          -               -10
//         / \              / \
//        -   4           -6   4
//       / \              / \
//      -   3   ==>     -3   3
//     / \              / \
//    -   2           -1   2
//   / \              / \
//  0   1            0   1

reduceRight

((a, b) → b) → b → [a] → b

Parameters

• fnThe iterator function. Receives two values, the current element from the array and the accumulator.
• accThe accumulator value.
• listThe list to iterate over.

Returns * The final, accumulated value.

Added in v0.1.0

Returns a single item by iterating through the list, successively calling the iterator function and passing it an accumulator value and the current value from the array, and then passing the result to the next call.

Similar to reduce, except moves through the input list from the right to the left.

The iterator function receives two values: (value, acc), while the arguments’ order of reduce‘s iterator function is (acc, value). reduceRight may use reduced to short circuit the iteration.

Note: R.reduceRight does not skip deleted or unassigned indices (sparse arrays), unlike the native Array.prototype.reduceRight method. For more details on this behavior, see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/reduceRight#Description

Be cautious of mutating and returning the accumulator. If you reuse it across invocations, it will continue to accumulate onto the same value. The general recommendation is to always return a new value. If you can’t do so for performance reasons, then be sure to reinitialize the accumulator on each invocation.

See also reduce, addIndex, reduced.

R.reduceRight(R.subtract, 0, [1, 2, 3, 4]) // => (1 - (2 - (3 - (4 - 0)))) = -2
//    -               -2
//   / \              / \
//  1   -            1   3
//     / \              / \
//    2   -     ==>    2  -1
//       / \              / \
//      3   -            3   4
//         / \              / \

into

a → (b → b) → [c] → a

Parameters

• accThe initial accumulator value.
• xfThe transducer function. Receives a transformer and returns a transformer.
• listThe list to iterate over.

Returns * The final, accumulated value.

Added in v0.12.0

Transforms the items of the list with the transducer and appends the transformed items to the accumulator using an appropriate iterator function based on the accumulator type.

The accumulator can be an array, string, object or a transformer. Iterated items will be appended to arrays and concatenated to strings. Objects will be merged directly or 2-item arrays will be merged as key, value pairs.

The accumulator can also be a transformer object that provides a 2-arity reducing iterator function, step, 0-arity initial value function, init, and 1-arity result extraction function result. The step function is used as the iterator function in reduce. The result function is used to convert the final accumulator into the return type and in most cases is R.identity. The init function is used to provide the initial accumulator.

The iteration is performed with R.reduce after initializing the transducer.

See also transduce.

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4];
const transducer = R.compose(R.map(R.add(1)), R.take(2));
R.into([], transducer, numbers); //=> [2, 3]
const intoArray = R.into([]);

Returns true if no elements of the list match the predicate, false otherwise.

Dispatches to the all method of the second argument, if present.

Acts as a transducer if a transformer is given in list position.

See also all, any.

const isEven = n => n % 2 === 0;
const isOdd = n => n % 2 !== 0;
R.none(isEven, [1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11]); //=> true
R.none(isOdd, [1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 11]); //=> false

transduce

(c → c) → ((a, b) → a) → a → [b] → a

Parameters

• xfThe transducer function. Receives a transformer and returns a transformer.
• fnThe iterator function. Receives two values, the accumulator and the current element from the array. Wrapped as transformer, if necessary, and used to initialize the transducer
• accThe initial accumulator value.
• listThe list to iterate over.

Returns * The final, accumulated value.

Added in v0.12.0

Initializes a transducer using supplied iterator function. Returns a single item by iterating through the list, successively calling the transformed iterator function and passing it an accumulator value and the current value from the array, and then passing the result to the next call.

The iterator function receives two values: (acc, value). It will be wrapped as a transformer to initialize the transducer. A transformer can be passed directly in place of an iterator function. In both cases, iteration may be stopped early with the R.reduced function.

A transducer is a function that accepts a transformer and returns a transformer and can be composed directly.

A transformer is an object that provides a 2-arity reducing iterator function, step, 0-arity initial value function, init, and 1-arity result extraction function, result. The step function is used as the iterator function in reduce. The result function is used to convert the final accumulator into the return type and in most cases is R.identity. The init function can be used to provide an initial accumulator, but is ignored by transduce.

The iteration is performed with R.reduce after initializing the transducer.

See also reduce, reduced, into.

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4];
const transducer = R.compose(R.map(R.add(1)), R.take(2));
R.transduce(transducer, R.flip(R.append), [], numbers); //=> [2, 3]
const isOdd = (x) => x % 2 !== 0;
const firstOddTransducer = R.compose(R.filter(isOdd), R.take(1));
R.transduce(firstOddTransducer, R.flip(R.append), [], R.range(0, 100)); //=> [1]
