Functional reactive programming in JavaScript and CoffeeScript

Fairmont

Fairmont is a JavaScript library for functional reactive programming. Fairmont takes full advantage of ES6+ features like iterators (including async iterators), generators, and promises. Inspired by libraries like Underscore and many others, Fairmont features include:

• reactive programming support through async iterators
• lazy evaluation on collection operations via iterators
• core functional operations, like currying and composition
• bridge functions for integrating with OOP-based libraries
• common file and stream based operations
• streams and event emitters modeled as asynchronous iterators
• seamless integration between synchronous and asynchronous operations
• … and more!

Examples

You can get a feel for what Fairmont can do for you by checking out the examples.

Reference

Fairmont uses literate programming, so each source file doubles as documentation. Please see the source directory for more.

Status

Fairmont is still under heavy development and is beta quality, meaning you should probably not use it in your production code.
