What is Bacon.js?
A small functional reactive programming lib for JavaScript.
Turns your event spaghetti into clean and declarative feng
shui bacon, by switching from imperative to functional. It's
like replacing nested for-loops with functional programming
concepts like map
and filter
. Stop
working on individual events and work with event-streams
instead. Transform your data with map
and filter
.
Combine your data with merge
and
combine
. Then switch to the heavier weapons and
wield flatMap
and combineTemplate
like a boss.
It's the _
of Events. Too bad the
symbol ~
is not allowed in Javascript.
