auto-curry
==========
Supercharge your functions by giving them the ability to auto-curry.
> Note:
> This library actually uses partial application internally and not currying. So, yes, the name is a misnomer.
> It is the result of my incorrect understanding of the concepts when I wrote the library.
> It is still perfectly usable and is used in production.
```javascript
npm install auto-curry --save
```
In `node`, you can just `require('auto-curry')`.
In the browser, you can use `build/auto-curry.min.js`
- with `require.js`, `browserify` etc
- directly by using `window.autoCurry`
```javascript
var cu = require('auto-curry');
var add = cu(function (a, b) {
return a + b;
});
var messWithThis = cu(function(v){
this.a.push(v);
return ++v;
});
var map = cu(function map(fn, list) {
var self = arguments[2] ? arguments[2] : this;
try {
return list.map(fn, self);
}
catch (e) {
return [].map.call(list, fn, self);
}
});
var x = {a: []};
console.log(map(add(1), [1, 2, 3])); //[2, 3, 4]
console.log(map(messWithThis, [1,2,3], x)); //[2, 3, 4]
console.log(x.a); //[1, 2, 3]
```
```javascript
var cu = window.autoCurry; //using it off the global
var add = cu(function (a, b) {
return a + b;
});
var messWithThis = cu(function(v){
this.a.push(v);
return ++v;
});
var map = cu(function map(fn, list) {
console.log(arguments[2]);
var self = arguments[2] ? arguments[2] : this;
try {
return list.map(fn, self);
}
catch (e) {
return [].map.call(list, fn, self);
}
});
var x = {a: []};
console.log(map(add(1), [1, 2, 3])); //[2, 3, 4]
console.log(map(messWithThis, [1,2,3], x)); //[2, 3, 4]
console.log(x.a); //[1, 2, 3]
```

- Now, if the function passed to `auto-curry` has an arity of one, the function itself is returned. Earlier this was only for zero arity functions.
