<p>While Underscore provides a bevy of useful tools to support functional programming in JavaScript, it can't
(and shouldn't) be everything to everyone. Underscore-contrib is intended as a home for functions that, for
various reasons, don't belong in Underscore proper. In particular, it aims to be:</p>
<ul>
<li>a home for functions that are limited in scope, but solve certain point problems, and</li>
<li>a proving ground for features that belong in Underscore proper, but need some advocacy and/or evolution
(or devolution) to get them there.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="use"><a href="#use" name="use">Use</a></h3>
<h4 id="in-the-browser"><a href="#in-the-browser" name="in-the-browser">In the Browser</a></h4>
<p>First, you'll need Underscore <strong>version 1.6.0 or higher</strong>. Then you can grab the relevant underscore-contrib sub-libraries and simply add something like
the following to your pages:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-html"><script type="text/javascript" src="underscore.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="underscore.object.builders.js"></script></code></pre>
<p>At the moment there are no cross-contrib dependencies (i.e. each sub-library
can stand by itself), but that may change in the future.</p>
<h4 id="in-node-js"><a href="#in-node.js" name="in-node.js">In Node.js</a></h4>
<p>Using contrib in Node is very simple. Just install it with npm:</p>
<pre><code>npm install underscore-contrib --save</code></pre>
<p>Then require it within your project like so:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">var _ = require('underscore-contrib');</code></pre>
<p>The <code>_</code> variable will be a copy of Underscore with contrib's methods already
mixed in.</p>

<hr>
<h4 id="cat"><a href="#cat" name="cat">cat</a></h4>
<p>Signature: <code>_.cat(... arrays:Array ...)</code></p>
<p>The <code>_.cat</code> function provides a way to concatenate zero or more heterogeneous arrays into one.</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.cat(); // 0-args
//=> []
_.cat([]); // 1-arg, empty array
//=> []
_.cat([1,2,3]); // 1-arg
//=> [1,2,3]
_.cat([1,2,3],[4,5,6]); // 2-args
//=> [1,2,3,4,5,6]
_.cat([1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7]); // 3+ args
//=> [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]</code></pre>
<p>Not every argument to <code>_.cat</code> needs to be an array; other types are accepted.</p>
<p>Signature: <code>_.cat(... elems:Any ...)</code></p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.cat(1,[2],3,4); // mixed args
//=> [1,2,3,4]</code></pre>
<p>The <code>_.cat</code> function will also work with the <code>arguments</code> object as if it were an array.</p>
<p>Signature: <code>_.cat(... elems:Arguments ...)</code></p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">function f(){ return _.cat(arguments, 4,5,6); }
f(1,2,3);
//=> [1,2,3,4,5,6]</code></pre>
<hr>
<h4 id="chunk"><a href="#chunk" name="chunk">chunk</a></h4>
<p>The <code>_.chunk</code> function, by default, accepts an array and a number and splits and returns a new array representing the original array split into some number of arrays of the given size:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.chunk([0,1,2,3], 2);
//=> , [[0,1],[2,3]]</code></pre>
<p>If the original array cannot completely fulfill the chunk scheme then the array returned will drop the undersized final chunk:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.chunk([0,1,2,3,4], 2);
//=> , [[0,1],[2,3]]</code></pre>
<p>You can pass an optional third argument to <code>_.chunk</code> to pad out the final array chunk should it fall short. If the value given as the third argument is <em>not</em> an array then it is repeated the needed number of times:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.chunk([0,1,2,3,4], 3, '_');
//=> , [[0,1,2],[3,'_','_']]</code></pre>
<p>If you given an array as the optional third argument then that array is used to pad in-place as needed:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.chunk([0,1,2,3,4], 3, ['a', 'b']);
//=> , [[0,1,2],[3,'a','b']]</code></pre>
<hr>
<h4 id="chunkall"><a href="#chunkall" name="chunkall">chunkAll</a></h4>
<p>The <code>_.chunkAll</code> function is similar to <code>_.chunk</code> except for the following. First, <code>_.chunkAll</code> will never drop short chunks from the end:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.chunkAll([0,1,2,3,4], 3);
//=> , [[0,1,2],[3]]</code></pre>
<p>Also, <code>_.chunkAll</code> takes an optional third argument signifying that paritions should be built from skipped regions:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.chunkAll(_.range(1), 2, 4);
//=> [[0,1],[4,5],[8,9]]</code></pre>
<hr>
<h4 id="cons"><a href="#cons" name="cons">cons</a></h4>
<p>Signature: <code>_.cons(head:Any, tail:Array)</code></p>
<p>The <code>_.cons</code> function provides a way to "construct" a new array by taking some element and putting it at the front of another array.</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.cons(0, []);
//=> [0]
_.cons(1, [2]);
//=> [1,2]
_.cons([0], [1,2,3]);
//=> [0,1,2,3]</code></pre>
<p>The <code>_.cons</code> function also can be used to create pairs if the second argument is not an array.</p>
<p>Signature: <code>_.cons(head:Any, tail:Any)</code></p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.cons(1, 2);
//=> [1,2]
_.cons([1], 2);
//=> [[1],2]</code></pre>
<p>Finally, <code>_.cons</code> will operate with the <code>arguments</code> object.</p>
<p>Signature: <code>_.cons(head:Any, tail:Arguments)</code></p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">function f() { return _.cons(0, arguments) }
f(1,2,3);
//=> [0,1,2,3]</code></pre>
<hr>
<h4 id="cycle"><a href="#cycle" name="cycle">cycle</a></h4>
<p>The <code>_.cycle</code> function takes an integer value used to build an array of that size containing the number of iterations through the given array, strung end-to-end as many times as needed. An example is probably more instructive:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.cycle(5, [1,2,3]);
//=> [1,2,3,1,2]</code></pre>
<hr>
<h4 id="interpose"><a href="#interpose" name="interpose">interpose</a></h4>
<p>The <code>_.interpose</code> function takes an array and an element and returns a new array with the given element inserted betwixt every element in the original array:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.interpose([1,2,3], 0);
//=> [1,0,2,0,3]</code></pre>
<p>If there are no betweens (i.e. empty and single-element arrays), then the original array is returned:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.interpose([1], 0);
//=> [1]
_.interpose([], 0);
//=> []</code></pre>
<hr>
<h4 id="iterateuntil"><a href="#iterateuntil" name="iterateuntil">iterateUntil</a></h4>
<p>The <code>_.iterateUntil</code> function takes a function used as a result generator, a function used as a stop-check and a seed value and returns an array of each generated result. The operation of <code>_.iterateUntil</code> is such that the result generator is passed the seed to start and each subsequent result which will continue <strong>until</strong> a result fails the check function (i.e. returns falsey). An example is best:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">var dec = function(n) { return n - 1; };
var isPos = function(n) { return n > 0; };</code></pre>
<p>The <code>dec</code> result generator takes a number and decrements it by one. The <code>isPos</code> predicate takes a number and returns <code>true</code> if it's positive. Using these two functions you can build an array of every number from <code>6</code> to <code>0</code>, inclusive:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.iterateUntil(dec, isPos, 6);
//=> [5,4,3,2,1]</code></pre>
<p>That is, the array only contains every number from <code>5</code> down to <code>1</code> because when the result of <code>dec</code> got to <code>0</code> the <code>isPos</code> check failed (i.e. went falsey) thus terminating the execution.</p>
<hr>
<h4 id="keepindexed"><a href="#keepindexed" name="keepindexed">keepIndexed</a></h4>
<p>The <code>_.keepIndexed</code> function takes an array and a function and returns a new array filled with the <em>non-null</em> return results of the given function on the elements or keys in the given array:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.keepIndexed([1,2,3], function(k) {
return i === 1 || i === 2;
});
//=> [false, true, true]</code></pre>
<p>If you return either <code>null</code> or <code>undefined</code> then the result is dropped from the resulting array:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.keepIndexed(['a','b','c'], function(k, v) {
if (k === 1) return v;
});
//=> ['b']</code></pre>
<hr>
<h4 id="mapcat"><a href="#mapcat" name="mapcat">mapcat</a></h4>
<p>There are times when a mapping operation produces results contained in arrays, but the final result should be flattened one level. For these circumstances you can use <code>_.mapcat</code> to produce results:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">var array = [1,2,null,4,undefined,6];
var errors = _.mapcat(array, function(e,i) {
if (e == null) {
return ["Element @" + i + " is bad"];
}
else {
return [];
}
});</code></pre>
<p>Inspecting the contents of <code>errors</code> shows:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">["Element @2 is bad", "Element @4 is bad"]</code></pre>
<p>The <code>_.mapcat</code> function is equivalent to <code>_.cat.apply(array, _.map(array,fun))</code>.</p>
<hr>
<h4 id="reductions"><a href="#reductions" name="reductions">reductions</a></h4>
<p>The <code>_.reductions</code> function is similar to Underscore's builtin <code>_.reduce</code> function except that it returns an array of every intermediate value in the folding operation:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.reductions([1,2,3,4,5], function(agg, n) {
return agg + n;
}, 0);
//=> [1,3,6,10,15]</code></pre>
<p>The last element in the array returned from <code>_.reductions</code> is the answer that you would get if you had just chosen to use <code>_.reduce</code>.</p>
<hr>
<h4 id="repeat"><a href="#repeat" name="repeat">repeat</a></h4>
<p>Signature: <code>_.repeat(t:Integer, value:Any)</code></p>
<p>The <code>_.repeat</code> function takes an integer value used to build an array of that size containing the value given:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.repeat(5, 'a');
//=> ['a','a','a','a','a']</code></pre>
<hr>
<h4 id="splitat"><a href="#splitat" name="splitat">splitAt</a></h4>
<p>The <code>_.splitAt</code> function takes an array and a numeric index and returns a new array with two embedded arrays representing a split of the original array at the index provided:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.splitAt([1,2,3,4,5], 2);
//=> [[1,2],[3,4,5]]
_.splitAt([1,2,3,4,5], 0);
//=> [[],[1,2,3,4,5]]</code></pre>
<p>The operation of <code>_.splitAt</code> is safe if the index provided is outside the range of legal indices:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.splitAt([1,2,3,4,5], 20000);
//=> [[1,2,3,4,5],[]]
_.splitAt([1,2,3,4,5], -1000);
//=> [[],[1,2,3,4,5]]
_.splitAt([], 0);
//=> [[],[]]</code></pre>
<hr>
<h4 id="takeskipping"><a href="#takeskipping" name="takeskipping">takeSkipping</a></h4>
<p>The <code>_.takeSkipping</code> function takes an array and a number and returns a new array containing every nth element in the original array:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.takeSkipping(_.range(10), 2);
//=> [0,2,4,6,8]</code></pre>
<p>The <code>_.takeSkipping</code> function is safe against numbers larger or smaller than the array size:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.takeSkipping(_.range(10), 100000);
//=> [0]
_.takeSkipping(_.range(10), -100);
//=> []</code></pre>
<hr>
<h4 id="weave"><a href="#weave" name="weave">weave</a></h4>
<p>The <code>_.weave</code> function works similarly to <code>_.interpose</code> (shown above) except that it accepts an array used as the interposition values. In other words, <code>_.weave</code> takes two arrays and returns a new array with the original elements woven together. An example would help:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.weave(['a','b','c'], [1,2,3]);
//=> ['a',1,'b',2,'c',3]</code></pre>
<p>The array returned from <code>_.weave</code> will be as long as the longest array given with the woven entries stopping according to the shortest array:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.weave(['a','b','c'], [1]);
//=> ['a',1,'b','c']</code></pre>
<p>The <code>_.interleave</code> function is an alias for <code>_.weave</code>.</p>

<hr>
<h4 id="nth"><a href="#nth" name="nth">nth</a></h4>
<p><strong>Signature:</strong> <code>_.nth(array:Array, index:Number[, guard:Any])</code></p>
<p>The <code>_.nth</code> function is a convenience for the equivalent <code>array[n]</code>. The
optional <code>guard</code> value allows <code>_.nth</code> to work correctly as a callback for
<code>_.map</code>.</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.nth(['a','b','c'], 2);
//=> 'c'</code></pre>
<p>If given an index out of bounds then <code>_.nth</code> will return <code>undefined</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.nth(['a','b','c'], 2000);
//=> undefined</code></pre>
<p>The <code>_.nth</code> function can also be used in conjunction with <code>_.map</code> and <code>_.compact</code> like so:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">var b = [['a'],['b'],[]];
_.compact(_.map(b, function(e) { return _.nth(e,0) }));
//=> ['a','b']</code></pre>
<p>If wrapping a function around <code>_.nth</code> is too tedious or you'd like to partially apply the index then Underscore-contrib offers any of <code>_.flip2</code>, <code>_.fix</code> or <code>_.curryRight2</code> to solve this.</p>

<code>_.map</code>.</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.second(['a','b']);
//=> 'b'
_.map([['a','b'], _.range(10,20)], _.second);
//=> ['b',11]</code></pre>
<p>You can also pass an optional number to the <code>_.second</code> function to take a number of elements from an array starting with the second element and ending at the given index:</p>

<p>If you specify a type in the pattern then the value will be tested using <code>instanceof</code>. If you want to verify a function value (for instance a callback) you need to pass the <code>Function</code> type, since a normal <code>function() {}</code> is indistinguishable from type in Javascript. A more complex example using these follows:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.islike(myArgument, {
title: "", count: "", owner: OwnerModel, success: Function, error: Function
});</code></pre>
<h4 id="array-types"><a href="#array-types" name="array-types">Array types</a></h4>
<p>An array value can also be type checked by passing an array of types in the pattern. For example</p>
<ul>
<li><code>_.islike([ 1, 2, 3, "hello" ], [ 0 ])</code> - returns false</li>
<li><code>_.islike([ 1, 2, 3, "hello", function() {} ], [ 0, "" ])</code> - returns false</li>
<li><code>_.islike([ 1, 2, 3, "hello" ], [ 0, "" ]}</code> - returns true</li>
<li><code>_.islike([ 1, 2, 3, "hello", function() {} ], [ 0, "", Function ]}</code> - returns true</li>
</ul>
<p><code>[""]</code> allows an array of only strings and <code>["",0]</code> allows strings and numbers. This check is done using <code>typeof</code> so objects and arrays will fall into the same category.</p>
<h4 id="complex-nested-objects"><a href="#complex-nested-objects" name="complex-nested-objects">Complex nested objects</a></h4>
<p>Nested objects are recursively checked, so you just need to nest your pattern.</p>
<p>This is a very complex example, probably more complex than <code>_.islike</code> is suited for, but is shows the nesting. In the example the object has a <code>process</code> property with two callback functuons and an array of numbers. It also has an <code>author</code> property which has another nested <code>location</code> property.</p>
<pre><code class="lang-javascript">_.islike(myComplexArgument,
title: "", age: 0, popularity: 0, available: false,
process: {
success: Function, error: Function, values: [0]
},
author: {
name: "", location: { country: "", city: "", postcode: "" }
}
});</code></pre>
