KeywordCurry

Augments Ruby currying to handle MRI 2.1 required keyword arguments.

Proc like objects can be curried until all their required keywords have been received

Please note:

• Monkey patching is optional.
• Ruby 2.1+ is required.
• Optional keyword arguments cannot be curried.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'keyword_curry'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install keyword_curry

This gem merely adds a couple of modules and it's up to you whether you would like all of your Procs monkey patched.

The monkey patch version

require "keyword_curry"

KeywordCurry.monkey_patch_proc

You may wish for this behaviour only on special Procs

require "keyword_curry"

class SpecialProc < Proc
  include KeywordCurry::KeywordArgumentCurrying

  # ...
end

The function is not invoked until all the arguments have been received. Each time a curried function is returned that will accept the next arguments.

func = lambda { |a:,b:,c:| [a,b,c].join(" and ") }

func.curry.call( a: "A" ).call( b: "B" ).call( c: "C" )

=> "A and B and C"

func = lambda { |a:,b:,c:| [a,b,c].join(" and ") }

func.curry.call( b: "B" ).call( a: "A" ).call( c: "C" )

=> "A and B and C"

func = lambda { |a:,b:,c:| [a,b,c].join(" and ") }

func.curry.call( c: "C", b: "B" ).call( a: "A" )

=> "A and B and C"

func = lambda { |first, a:,b:,c:| [first, a,b,c].join(" and ") }

func.curry.call("first").call( c: "C", b: "B" ).call( a: "A" )

=> "First and A and B and C"
