Need a fold / reduce functionality for Event Streams about bacon.js HOT 9 CLOSED

[2,7,8] more likely. I like the idea, and this is easy to impl. but
could you please describe the actual use case? For the example you
could use lodash instead;)

from bacon.js.

Yes, I know that I can use classic reduce way:-) But the main thought is: if there is a way to map asynchronounsly, there ought to be a way to reduce the async collection too. Also, Linq has a ToArray method for the same purpose.

from bacon.js.

Computes. Use case still missing though. I don't want to sound like a party pooper, but there's a shitload of things that could be added and would be quite easy to add. Still, if there's no convincing use case, I don't want to include functions to the core just for the sake of it. Everything we add will be transmitted over a network connection to the end-user browsers, you see.

Maybe it's time to introduce Bacon.js Enterprise Edition? Just kidding, but some extra lib might be a good idea for collecting the not-so-core-but-still-potentially-useful funcs.

from bacon.js.

Maybe the lib could have a build process like lodash where you can select the components for the compiled minified version.

So, extending BaconJS in BaconJS.UI way is suitable?
Thanks for your attention =)

from bacon.js.

The purpose of Bacon.UI is to introduce jQuery UI specific helpers, that are not suitable for the Bacon.js core.

And don't get me wrong: if there is a real-world need for fold, we'll add it to the core in no time :)

Btw, here's fold for your pleasure

Thanks a lot!)

@eskimoblood I have thought about the exact same thing :-) It would be really neat to be able to create custom builds where you get only the methods you are using.

bacon include="Bacon.combineTemplate, Bacon.Bus"

would yield a really tiny js.
