pynchon

A collection of arrow macros.

Ported from @rplevy's Clojure library, swiss-arrows. See its README for usage examples.

Installation

Add pynchon to your deps in your rebar.config:

{deps, [
  {pynchon, "0.5.0"}
]}.

Usage

To use the arrow macros, you can either include arrows.lfe:

(include-lib "pynchon/include/arrows.lfe")

(defun foo ()
  (-<>< (+ 1 2)
        (list <> 2 1)
        (list 5 <> 7)
        (list 9 4 <>)))

... or make fully-qualified calls to the exported macros:

(defun bar ()
  (pynchon:-<>< (+ 1 2)
                (list <> 2 1)
                (list 5 <> 7)
                (list 9 4 <>)))

Documentation

For (sparse) documentation, check out the Lodox-generated API docs.

Be sure to peruse the usage examples in the original swiss-arrows repo, too.
Although some Clojure idioms therein don't translate to LFE, the general ideas apply.
