reduce
reduce() function
Also known as foldl, this method boils down a list of values into a single value.
Signature:
declare function reduce<T extends readonly [], Acc>(f: Arrow, seed: Acc, iterable: T): Acc;
Example
You can reduce values into homogeneous type.
const sum = (a:number, b:number) => a + b;
// with implicit seed with first element
reduce(sum, [1, 2, 3, 4]); // 10
// with explicit seed
reduce(sum, 0, [1, 2, 3, 4]); // 10
You can reduce values into heterogeneous type.
// reduce { id: number; score: number; } to number
reduce((acc, value) => acc + value.score, 0, [
{ id: 0, score: 1 },
{ id: 5, score: 2 },
{ id: 9, score: 3 },
{ id: 3, score: 4 }
])
Omitting iterable will returns function, useful when using with pipe.
pipe(
[1, 2, 3, 4],
map(a => a + 10),
filter(a => a % 2 === 0),
reduce(sum),
); // 26
For backward compatibility, reduce can support partial lazy form. You may want to use reduceLazy to use seed.
await pipe(
Promise.resolve([1, 2, 3, 4]),
map((a) => a + 10),
filter(a => a % 2 === 0),
reduce(sum),
); // 26
// if you want to use asynchronous callback
await pipe(
Promise.resolve([1, 2, 3, 4]),
toAsync,
map(async (a) => a + 10),
filter(a => a % 2 === 0),
reduce(sum),
); // 26
// with toAsync
await pipe(
[Promise.resolve(1), Promise.resolve(2), Promise.resolve(3), Promise.resolve(4)],
toAsync,
map(a => a + 10),
filter(a => a % 2 === 0),
reduce(sum),
); // 26
