Aug 30, 2008 · Here's a practical example from React, the JavaScript user interface library. Currying here illustrates the closure property. As is typical in most user interface libraries, when the user clicks a button, a function is called to handle the event. The handler typically modifies the application's state and triggers the interface to re-render.
Oct 10, 2020 · // Add a function to the function prototype Object.defineProperty(Function.prototype, "curry", { value: function() { // Remember the original function var f = this; // Remember the curried arguments var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments); // Return a new function that will do the work return function() { // The new function has been called: Call the original with // the curried arguments followed by any arguments received in // this call, passing along the current value of `this ...
Sep 22, 2016 · I would say that, most probably, all the animation library in JS are using currying. Rather than having to pass for each call a set of impacted elements and a function, describing how the element should behave, to a higher order function that will ensure all the timing stuff, its generally easier for the customer to release, as public API some function like "slideUp", "fadeIn" that takes only elements as arguments, and that are just some curried function returning the high order function ...

Oct 20, 2008 · Currying means breaking a function with many arguments into a series of functions that each take one argument and ultimately produce the same result as the original function. Currying is probably the most challenging topic for developers new to functional programming, particularly because it is often confused with partial application.
Dec 10, 2019 · Currying is an advanced technique of working with functions. It’s used not only in JavaScript, but in other languages as well. Currying is a transformation of functions that translates a function from callable as f(a, b, c) into callable as f(a)(b)(c). Currying doesn’t call a function. It just transforms it.
The functions in JavaScript are variadic by default, so hacking the language in a such way is harmful, because it may confuse newbies that getting multi-arity fns like this is the way, while it's definitely not.
Sep 24, 2015 · The bearing currying has on code can be divided into two sets of issues (I use Haskell to illustrate). Syntactical, Implementation. Syntax Issue 1: Currying allows greater code clarity in certain cases. What does clarity mean? Reading the function provides clear indication of its functionality. e.g. The map function. map : (a -> b) -> ([a] -> [b])
Mar 2, 2014 · Currying is to reduce the number of arguments, usually to avoid calling a function a lot with the same initial arguments. For example: For example: var celsiusToKelvin = add.curry(273.15);
