Package Exports

@stdlib/utils-reject-arguments
@stdlib/utils-reject-arguments/lib/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/utils-reject-arguments) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

rejectArguments

Create a function that invokes a provided function according to a predicate function.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/utils-reject-arguments

Usage

var rejectArguments = require( '@stdlib/utils-reject-arguments' );

rejectArguments( fcn, predicate[, thisArg] )

Returns a function that invokes a provided function according to a predicate function.

function foo( a, b ) {
    return [ a, b ];
}

function predicate( v ) {
    return ( v === 2 );
}

var bar = rejectArguments( foo, predicate );

var out = bar( 1, 2, 3 );
// returns [ 1, 3 ]

The predicate function is provided the following arguments:

value: argument value.
index: argument index.

To set the this context when invoking the input function, provide a thisArg.

function predicate( v ) {
    return ( v === 2 );
}

function Foo() {
    this.x = 1;
    this.y = 2;
}

Foo.prototype.scale = function scale( a, b ) {
    return [ this.x*a, this.y*b ];
};

var ctx = {
    'x': 10,
    'y': 20
};

var foo = new Foo();

var bar = rejectArguments( foo.scale, predicate, ctx );

var out = bar( 1, 2, 3 );
// returns [ 10, 60 ]

Notes

Only those arguments in which the predicate function returns a falsy value are applied to a provided function.

Examples

var filledarrayBy = require( '@stdlib/array-filled-by' );
var add = require( '@stdlib/math-base-ops-add' );
var rejectArguments = require( '@stdlib/utils-reject-arguments' );

function fill( i ) {
    return i;
}

function factory( i, j ) {
    return predicate;

    function predicate( value, index ) {
        return ( i > index ) || ( index >= j );
    }
}

// Create a data array:
var x = filledarrayBy( 10, 'float64', fill );

// Compute the sum of consecutive elements...
var f;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < x.length-1; i++ ) {
    f = rejectArguments( add, factory( i, i+2 ) );
    console.log( 'sum(x_%d, x_%d) = %d', i, i+1, f.apply( null, x ) );
}
