dash.el
A modern list API for Emacs. No
'cl
required.
Installation
It's available on GNU ELPA and MELPA:
M-x package-install dash
Or you can just dump dash.el
in your load-path
somewhere.
If you want the function combinators, then also:
M-x package-install dash-functional
Using in a package
Add something like this to the library's headers:
;; Package-Requires: ((dash "2.17.0"))
To get function combinators:
;; Package-Requires: ((dash "2.17.0") (dash-functional "1.2.0"))
Upcoming breaking change!

For backward compatibility reasons,
-zip
when called with two lists returns a list of cons cells, rather than a list of proper lists. This is a clunky API, and may be changed in a future release to always return a list of proper lists, as-zip-lists
currently does.N.B.: Do not rely on the current behavior of
-zip
for two lists. Instead, use-zip-pair
for a list of cons cells, and-zip-lists
for a list of proper lists.
Fontification of special variables
Font lock of special Dash variables (it
, acc
, etc.) in Emacs Lisp
buffers can optionally be enabled with the autoloaded minor mode
dash-fontify-mode
. In older Emacs versions which do not dynamically
detect macros, the minor mode also fontifies Dash macro calls.
To automatically enable the minor mode in all Emacs Lisp buffers, just
call its autoloaded global counterpart global-dash-fontify-mode
,
either interactively or from your user-init-file
:
(global-dash-fontify-mode)
Info symbol lookup
While editing Elisp files, you can use C-h S
(info-lookup-symbol
)
to look up Elisp symbols in the relevant Info manuals (see (emacs) Info Lookup
).
To enable the same for Dash symbols, use the command
dash-register-info-lookup
. It can be called directly when needed,
or automatically from your user-init-file
. For example:
(with-eval-after-load 'info-look
(dash-register-info-lookup))
Functions
All functions and constructs in the library use a dash (-
) prefix.
The library also provides anaphoric macro versions of functions where
that makes sense. The names of these macros are prefixed with two
dashes (--
) instead of one.
While -map
applies a function to each element of a list, its
anaphoric counterpart --map
evaluates a form with the local variable
it
temporarily bound to the current list element instead. For
example:
(-map (lambda (n) (* n n)) '(1 2 3 4)) ; Normal version.
(--map (* it it) '(1 2 3 4)) ; Anaphoric version.
The normal version can of course also be written as follows:
(defun my-square (n)
"Return N multiplied by itself."
(* n n))
(-map #'my-square '(1 2 3 4))
This demonstrates the utility of both versions.

Maps
Functions in this category take a transforming function, which is then applied sequentially to each or selected elements of the input list. The results are collected in order and returned as a new list.
(fn list)
-map Apply fn
to each item in list
and return the list of results.
This function's anaphoric counterpart is --map
.
(-map (lambda (num) (* num num)) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => '(1 4 9 16)
(-map #'1+ '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => '(2 3 4 5)
(--map (* it it) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => '(1 4 9 16)
(pred rep list)
-map-when Return a new list where the elements in list
that do not match the pred
function
are unchanged, and where the elements in list
that do match the pred
function are mapped
through the rep
function.
Alias: -replace-where
See also: -update-at
(-map-when 'even? 'square '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => '(1 4 3 16)
(--map-when (> it 2) (* it it) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => '(1 2 9 16)
(--map-when (= it 2) 17 '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => '(1 17 3 4)
(pred rep list)
-map-first Replace first item in list
satisfying pred
with result of rep
called on this item.
See also: -map-when
, -replace-first
(-map-first 'even? 'square '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => '(1 4 3 4)
(--map-first (> it 2) (* it it) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => '(1 2 9 4)
(--map-first (= it 2) 17 '(1 2 3 2)) ;; => '(1 17 3 2)
(pred rep list)
-map-last Replace last item in list
satisfying pred
with result of rep
called on this item.
See also: -map-when
, -replace-last
(-map-last 'even? 'square '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => '(1 2 3 16)
(--map-last (> it 2) (* it it) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => '(1 2 3 16)
(--map-last (= it 2) 17 '(1 2 3 2)) ;; => '(1 2 3 17)
(fn list)
-map-indexed Apply fn
to each index and item in list
and return the list of results.
This is like -map
, but fn
takes two arguments: the index of the
current element within list
, and the element itself.
This function's anaphoric counterpart is --map-indexed
.
For a side-effecting variant, see also -each-indexed
.
(-map-indexed (lambda (index item) (- item index)) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => '(1 1 1 1)
(--map-indexed (- it it-index) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => '(1 1 1 1)
(-map-indexed #'* '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => '(0 2 6 12)
(fn list)
-annotate Return a list of cons cells where each cell is fn
applied to each
element of list
paired with the unmodified element of list
.
(-annotate '1+ '(1 2 3)) ;; => '((2 . 1) (3 . 2) (4 . 3))
(-annotate 'length '(("h" "e" "l" "l" "o") ("hello" "world"))) ;; => '((5 "h" "e" "l" "l" "o") (2 "hello" "world"))
(--annotate (< 1 it) '(0 1 2 3)) ;; => '((nil . 0) (nil . 1) (t . 2) (t . 3))
(pred fun list)
-splice Splice lists generated by fun
in place of elements matching pred
in list
.
fun
takes the element matching pred
as input.
This function can be used as replacement for ,@
in case you
need to splice several lists at marked positions (for example
with keywords).
See also: -splice-list
, -insert-at
(-splice 'even? (lambda (x) (list x x)) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => '(1 2 2 3 4 4)
(--splice 't (list it it) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => '(1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4)
(--splice (equal it :magic) '((list of) (magical) (code)) '((foo) (bar) :magic (baz))) ;; => '((foo) (bar) (list of) (magical) (code) (baz))

-splice-list Splice new-list
in place of elements matching pred
in list
.
See also: -splice
, -insert-at
(-splice-list 'keywordp '(a b c) '(1 :foo 2)) ;; => '(1 a b c 2)
(-splice-list 'keywordp nil '(1 :foo 2)) ;; => '(1 2)
(--splice-list (keywordp it) '(a b c) '(1 :foo 2)) ;; => '(1 a b c 2)
(fn list)
-mapcat Return the concatenation of the result of mapping fn
over list
.
Thus function fn
should return a list.

(-mapcat (lambda (item) (list 0 item)) '(1 2 3)) ;; => '(0 1 0 2 0 3)
(--mapcat (list 0 it) '(1 2 3)) ;; => '(0 1 0 2 0 3)
(list)

.
(-copy '(1 2 3)) ;; => '(1 2 3)
(let ((a '(1 2 3))) (eq a (-copy a))) ;; => nil
Sublist selection
Functions returning a sublist of the original list.
(pred list)
-filter Return a new list of the items in list
for which pred
returns non-nil.
Alias: -select
.
This function's anaphoric counterpart is --filter
.
For similar operations, see also -keep
and -remove
.
(-filter (lambda (num) (= 0 (% num 2))) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => '(2 4)
(-filter #'natnump '(-2 -1 0 1 2)) ;; => '(0 1 2)
(--filter (= 0 (% it 2)) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => '(2 4)
(pred list)
-remove Return a new list of the items in list
for which pred
returns nil.
Alias: -reject
.
This function's anaphoric counterpart is --remove
.
For similar operations, see also -keep
and -filter
.
(-remove (lambda (num) (= 0 (% num 2))) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => '(1 3)
(-remove #'natnump '(-2 -1 0 1 2)) ;; => '(-2 -1)
(--remove (= 0 (% it 2)) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => '(1 3)
(pred list)
-remove-first Remove the first item from list
for which pred
returns non-nil.
This is a non-destructive operation, but only the front of list
leading up to the removed item is a copy; the rest is list
's
original tail. If no item is removed, then the result is a
complete copy.
Alias: -reject-first
.
This function's anaphoric counterpart is --remove-first
.
See also -map-first
, -remove-item
, and -remove-last
.
(-remove-first #'natnump '(-2 -1 0 1 2)) ;; => '(-2 -1 1 2)
(-remove-first #'stringp '(1 2 "first" "second")) ;; => '(1 2 "second")
(--remove-first (> it 3) '(1 2 3 4 5 6)) ;; => '(1 2 3 5 6)
(pred list)
-remove-last Remove the last item from list
for which pred
returns non-nil.
The result is a copy of list
regardless of whether an element is
removed.
Alias: -reject-last
.
This function's anaphoric counterpart is --remove-last
.
See also -map-last
, -remove-item

removed.
The comparison is done with equal
.

with all nil items removed.
(-non-nil '(nil 1 nil 2 nil nil 3 4 nil 5 nil)) ;; => '(1 2 3 4 5)
(-non-nil '((nil))) ;; => '((nil))
(-non-nil '()) ;; => '()
(list from &optional to step)
-slice Return copy of list
, starting from index from
to index to

from
or to
may be negative. These values are then interpreted
modulo the length of the list.
If step
is a number, only each step
th item in the resulting
section is returned. Defaults to 1.

Each row is transformed such that only the specified columns
are
selected.
See also: -select-column
, -select-by-indices
(-select-columns '(0 2) '((1 2 3) (a b c) (:a :b :c))) ;; => '((1 3) (a c) (:a :c))

List to list
Functions returning a modified copy of the input list.
(fn list)
-keep Return a new list of the non-nil results of applying fn
to each item in list
.
Like -filter
, but returns the non-nil results of fn
instead of
the corresponding elements of list
.
Its anaphoric counterpart is --keep
.
(-keep #'cdr '((1 2 3) (4 5) (6))) ;; => '((2 3) (5))
(-keep (lambda (n) (and (> n 3) (* 10 n))) '(1 2 3 4 5 6)) ;; => '(40 50 60)

(-concat '(1) '(2 3) '(4)) ;; => '(1 2 3 4)
(l)
-flatten Take a nested list l
and return its contents as a single, flat list.
Note that because nil
represents a list of zero elements (an
empty list), any mention of nil in l
will disappear after
flattening. If you need to preserve nils, consider -flatten-n
or map them to some unique symbol and then map them back.
Conses of two atoms are considered "terminals", that is, they aren't flattened further.

Reductions
Functions reducing lists to a single value (which may also be a list).
(fn init list)
-reduce-from Reduce the function fn
across list
, starting with init
.
Return the result of applying fn
to init
and the first element of
list
, then applying fn
to that result and the second element,
etc. If list
is empty, return init
without calling fn
.
This function's anaphoric counterpart is --reduce-from
.
For other folds, see also -reduce
and -reduce-r
.
(-reduce-from #'- 10 '(1 2 3)) ;; => 4
(-reduce-from #'list 10 '(1 2 3)) ;; => '(((10 1) 2) 3)
(--reduce-from (concat acc " " it) "START" '("a" "b" "c")) ;; => "START a b c"
(fn init list)
-reduce-r-from Reduce the function fn
across list
in reverse, starting with init
.
Return the result of applying fn
to the last element of list
and
init
, then applying fn
to the second-to-last element and the
previous result of fn
, etc. That is, the first argument of fn
is
the current element, and its second argument the accumulated
value. If list
is empty, return init
without calling fn
.
This function is like -reduce-from
but the operation associates
from the right rather than left. In other words, it starts from
the end of list
and flips the arguments to fn
. Conceptually, it
is like replacing the conses in list
with applications of fn
, and
its last link with init
, and evaluating the resulting expression.
This function's anaphoric counterpart is --reduce-r-from
.
For other folds, see also -reduce-r
and -reduce
.

across list
.
Return the result of applying fn

list
, then applying fn
to that result and the third element, etc.

.
If list
is empty, return the result of calling fn
with no
arguments.

(fn list)
-reduce-r Reduce the function fn
across list
in reverse.
Return the result of applying fn
to the last two elements of
list
, then applying fn
to the third-to-last element and the
previous result of fn
, etc. That is, the first argument of fn
is
the current element, and its second argument the accumulated
value. If list
contains a single element, return it without
calling fn
. If list
is empty, return the result of calling fn
with no arguments.
This function is like -reduce
but the operation associates from
the right rather than left. In other words, it starts from the
end of list
and flips the arguments to fn

ignoring its last link, and evaluating the resulting expression.

should return nil
to stop the generating process, or a
cons (a

Partitioning
Functions partitioning the input list into a list of lists.
(n list)
-split-at Split list
into two sublists after the n
th element.
The result is a list of two elements (take
drop

is a
new list of the first n
elements of list
, and drop
is the
remaining elements of list
(not a copy). take
and drop
are like
the results of -take
and -drop

This function takes its name from the corresponding primitive in
the apl
language.

(fn list1 list2)
-zip-with Zip the two lists list1
and list2
using a function fn
. This
function is applied pairwise taking as first argument element of
list1
and as second argument element of list2
at corresponding
position.
The anaphoric form --zip-with
binds the elements from list1
as symbol it
,
and the elements from list2
as symbol other
.
(-zip-with '+ '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6)) ;; => '(5 7 9)
(-zip-with 'cons '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6)) ;; => '((1 . 4) (2 . 5) (3 . 6))

(&rest lists)
-zip Zip lists
together. Group the head of each list, followed by the
second elements of each list, and so on. The lengths of the returned
groupings are equal to the length of the shortest input list.
If two lists are provided as arguments, return the groupings as a list of cons cells. Otherwise, return the groupings as a list of lists.
Use -zip-lists
if you need the return value to always be a list
of lists.
Alias: -zip-pair

(&rest lists)
-zip-lists Zip lists
together. Group the head of each list, followed by the
second elements of each list, and so on. The lengths of the returned
groupings are equal to the length of the shortest input list.
The return value is always list of lists, which is a difference
from -zip-pair
which returns a cons-cell in case two input
lists are provided.

(fill-value &rest lists)
-zip-fill Zip lists
, with fill-value
padded onto the shorter lists. The
lengths of the returned groupings are equal to the length of the
longest input list.

(lists)
-unzip Unzip lists
.
This works just like -zip
but takes a list of lists instead of
a variable number of arguments, such that
(-unzip (-zip `l1` `l2` `l3` ...))
is identity (given that the lists are the same length).
Note in particular that calling this on a list of two lists will return a list of cons-cells such that the above identity works.

.
The returned list cycles through the elements of list
and repeats
from the beginning.

(-pad 0 '(1 2 3) '(4 5)) ;; => '((1 2 3) (4 5 0))
(fn &rest lists)
-table Compute outer product of lists
using function fn
.
The function fn
should have the same arity as the number of
supplied lists.
The outer product is computed by applying fn to all possible combinations created by taking one element from each list in order. The dimension of the result is (length lists).
See also: -table-flat
(-table '* '(1 2 3) '(1 2 3)) ;; => '((1 2 3) (2 4 6) (3 6 9))

(fn &rest lists)
-table-flat Compute flat outer product of lists
using function fn
.
The function fn
should have the same arity as the number of
supplied lists.
The outer product is computed by applying fn to all possible combinations created by taking one element from each list in order. The results are flattened, ignoring the tensor structure of the result. This is equivalent to calling:
(-flatten-n (1- (length lists)) (apply '-table fn lists))
but the implementation here is much more efficient.

If arg
is already a list, return it as is (not a copy).
Otherwise, return a new list with arg
as its only element.
Another supported calling convention is (-list &rest args

(fn folder init-value tree)
-tree-mapreduce-from Apply fn
to each element of tree

If elements of tree
are lists themselves, apply fn
recursively to
elements of these nested lists.
Then reduce the resulting lists using folder

(list)
-clone Create a deep copy of list
.
The new list has the same elements and structure but all cons are
replaced with new ones. This is useful when you need to clone a
structure such as plist or alist.

(-if-let* (((_ _ x) '(nil nil 7))) x) ;; => 7
(varlist &rest body)
-let Bind variables according to varlist
then eval body
.
varlist
is a list of lists of the form (pattern
source
). Each
pattern
is matched against the source
"structurally". source
is only evaluated once for each pattern
. Each pattern
is matched
recursively, and can therefore contain sub-patterns which are
matched against corresponding sub-expressions of source
.
All the SOURCEs are evalled before any symbols are bound (i.e. "in parallel").
If varlist
only contains one (pattern
source
) element, you can
optionally specify it using a vector and discarding the
outer-most parens. Thus
(-let ((`pattern` `source`)) ...)
becomes
(-let [`pattern` `source`] ...).
-let
uses a convention of not binding places (symbols) starting
with _ whenever it's possible. You can use this to skip over
entries you don't care about. However, this is not always
possible (as a result of implementation) and these symbols might
get bound to undefined values.
Following is the overview of supported patterns. Remember that patterns can be matched recursively, so every a, b, aK in the following can be a matching construct and not necessarily a symbol/variable.
Symbol:
a - bind the `source` to `a`. This is just like regular `let`.
Conses and lists:
(a) - bind `car` of cons/list to `a`
(a . b) - bind car of cons to `a` and `cdr` to `b`
(a b) - bind car of list to `a` and `cadr` to `b`
(a1 a2 a3 ...) - bind 0th car of list to `a1`, 1st to `a2`, 2nd to `a3`...
(a1 a2 a3 ... aN . rest) - as above, but bind the `n`th cdr to `rest`.
Vectors:
[a] - bind 0th element of a non-list sequence to `a` (works with
vectors, strings, bit arrays...)
[a1 a2 a3 ...] - bind 0th element of non-list sequence to `a0`, 1st to
`a1`, 2nd to `a2`, ...
If the `pattern` is shorter than `source`, the values at
places not in `pattern` are ignored.
If the `pattern` is longer than `source`, an `error` is
thrown.
[a1 a2 a3 ... &rest rest] - as above, but bind the rest of
the sequence to `rest`. This is
conceptually the same as improper list
matching (a1 a2 ... aN . rest)
Key/value stores:
(&plist key0 a0 ... keyN aN) - bind value mapped by keyK in the
`source` plist to aK. If the
value is not found, aK is nil.
Uses `plist-get` to fetch values.
(&alist key0 a0 ... keyN aN) - bind value mapped by keyK in the
`source` alist to aK. If the
value is not found, aK is nil.
Uses `assoc` to fetch values.
(&hash key0 a0 ... keyN aN) - bind value mapped by keyK in the
`source` hash table to aK. If the
value is not found, aK is nil.
Uses `gethash` to fetch values.
Further, special keyword &keys supports "inline" matching of
plist-like key-value pairs, similarly to &keys keyword of
cl-defun
.
(a1 a2 ... aN &keys key1 b1 ... keyN bK)
This binds n
values from the list to a1 ... aN, then interprets
the cdr as a plist (see key/value matching above).
a
shorthand notation for kv-destructuring exists which allows the
patterns be optionally left out and derived from the key name in
the following fashion:
- a key :foo is converted into
foo
pattern, - a key 'bar is converted into
bar
pattern, - a key "baz" is converted into
baz
pattern.
That is, the entire value under the key is bound to the derived variable without any further destructuring.
This is possible only when the form following the key is not a valid pattern (i.e. not a symbol, a cons cell or a vector). Otherwise the matching proceeds as usual and in case of an invalid spec fails with an error.
Thus the patterns are normalized as follows:
;; derive all the missing patterns
(&plist :foo 'bar "baz") => (&plist :foo foo 'bar bar "baz" baz)
;; we can specify some but not others
(&plist :foo 'bar explicit-bar) => (&plist :foo foo 'bar explicit-bar)
;; nothing happens, we store :foo in x
(&plist :foo x) => (&plist :foo x)
;; nothing happens, we match recursively
(&plist :foo (a b c)) => (&plist :foo (a b c))
You can name the source using the syntax symbol
&as pattern
.
This syntax works with lists (proper or improper), vectors and
all types of maps.
(list &as a b c) (list 1 2 3)
binds a
to 1, b
to 2, c
to 3 and list
to (1 2 3).
Similarly:
(bounds &as beg . end) (cons 1 2)
binds beg
to 1, end
to 2 and bounds
to (1 . 2).
(items &as first . rest) (list 1 2 3)
binds first
to 1, rest
to (2 3) and items
to (1 2 3)
[vect &as _ b c] [1 2 3]
binds b
to 2, c
to 3 and vect
to [1 2 3] (_ avoids binding as usual).
(plist &as &plist :b b) (list :a 1 :b 2 :c 3)
binds b
to 2 and plist
to (:a 1 :b 2 :c 3). Same for &alist and &hash.
This is especially useful when we want to capture the result of a computation and destructure at the same time. Consider the form (function-returning-complex-structure) returning a list of two vectors with two items each. We want to capture this entire result and pass it to another computation, but at the same time we want to get the second item from each vector. We can achieve it with pattern
(result &as [_ a] [_ b]) (function-returning-complex-structure)
Note: Clojure programmers may know this feature as the ":as binding". The difference is that we put the &as at the front because we need to support improper list binding.
(-let (([a (b c) d] [1 (2 3) 4])) (list a b c d)) ;; => '(1 2 3 4)
(-let [(a b c . d) (list 1 2 3 4 5 6)] (list a b c d)) ;; => '(1 2 3 (4 5 6))
(-let [(&plist :foo foo :bar bar) (list :baz 3 :foo 1 :qux 4 :bar 2)] (list foo bar)) ;; => '(1 2)
(varlist &rest body)
-let* Bind variables according to varlist
then eval body
.
varlist
is a list of lists of the form (pattern
source
). Each
pattern
is matched against the source
structurally. source
is
only evaluated once for each pattern
.
Each source
can refer to the symbols already bound by this
varlist
. This is useful if you want to destructure source
recursively but also want to name the intermediate structures.
See -let
for the list of all possible patterns.
(-let* (((a . b) (cons 1 2)) ((c . d) (cons 3 4))) (list a b c d)) ;; => '(1 2 3 4)
(-let* (((a . b) (cons 1 (cons 2 3))) ((c . d) b)) (list a b c d)) ;; => '(1 (2 . 3) 2 3)
(-let* (((&alist "foo" foo "bar" bar) (list (cons "foo" 1) (cons "bar" (list 'a 'b 'c)))) ((a b c) bar)) (list foo a b c bar)) ;; => '(1 a b c (a b c))
(match-form &rest body)
-lambda Return a lambda which destructures its input as match-form
and executes body
.
Note that you have to enclose the match-form
in a pair of parens,
such that:
(-lambda (x) body)
(-lambda (x y ...) body)
has the usual semantics of lambda
. Furthermore, these get
translated into normal lambda
, so there is no performance
penalty.
See -let
for a description of the destructuring mechanism.
(-map (-lambda ((x y)) (+ x y)) '((1 2) (3 4) (5 6))) ;; => '(3 7 11)
(-map (-lambda ([x y]) (+ x y)) '([1 2] [3 4] [5 6])) ;; => '(3 7 11)
(funcall (-lambda ((_ . a) (_ . b)) (-concat a b)) '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6)) ;; => '(2 3 5 6)
([match-form val] ...)
-setq Bind each match-form
to the value of its val
.
match-form
destructuring is done according to the rules of -let
.
This macro allows you to bind multiple variables by destructuring the value, so for example:
(-setq (a b) x
(&plist :c c) plist)
expands roughly speaking to the following code
(setq a (car x)
b (cadr x)
c (plist-get plist :c))
Care is taken to only evaluate each val
once so that in case of
multiple assignments it does not cause unexpected side effects.
(let (a) (-setq a 1) a) ;; => 1
(let (a b) (-setq (a b) (list 1 2)) (list a b)) ;; => '(1 2)
(let (c) (-setq (&plist :c c) (list :c "c")) c) ;; => "c"

In types: (a -> a) -> Int -> a -> a.
This function satisfies the following law:
(funcall (-iteratefn fn n) init) = (-last-item (-iterate fn init (1+ n))).
(funcall (-iteratefn (lambda (x) (* x x)) 3) 2) ;; => 256
(funcall (-iteratefn '1+ 3) 1) ;; => 4
(funcall (-iteratefn 'cdr 3) '(1 2 3 4 5)) ;; => '(4 5)
(fn &optional equal-test halt-test)
-fixfn Return a function that computes the (least) fixpoint of fn
.
fn
must be a unary function. The returned lambda takes a single
argument, x
, the initial value for the fixpoint iteration. The
iteration halts when either of the following conditions is satisfied:
-
Iteration converges to the fixpoint, with equality being tested using
equal-test
. Ifequal-test
is not specified,equal
is used. For functions over the floating point numbers, it may be necessary to provide an appropriate approximate comparison test. -
halt-test
returns a non-nil value.halt-test
defaults to a simple counter that returns t after-fixfn-max-iterations
, to guard against infinite iteration. Otherwise,halt-test
must be a function that accepts a single argument, the current value ofx
, and returns non-nil as long as iteration should continue. In this way, a more sophisticated convergence test may be supplied by the caller.
The return value of the lambda is either the fixpoint or, if
iteration halted before converging, a cons with car halted
and
cdr the final output from halt-test
.
In types: (a -> a) -> a -> a.
(funcall (-fixfn 'cos 'approx-equal) 0.7) ;; ~> 0.7390851332151607

(&rest fns)
-prodfn Take a list of n functions and return a function that takes a list of length n, applying i-th function to i-th element of the input list. Returns a list of length n.
In types (for n=2): ((a -> b), (c -> d)) -> (a, c) -> (b, d)
This function satisfies the following laws:
(-compose (-prodfn f g ...) (-prodfn f' g' ...)) = (-prodfn (-compose f f') (-compose g g') ...)
(-prodfn f g ...) = (-juxt (-compose f (-partial 'nth 0)) (-compose g (-partial 'nth 1)) ...)

Contribute
Yes, please do. Pure functions in the list manipulation realm only,
please. There's a suite of examples/tests in dev/examples.el
, so
remember to add tests for your additions, or I might break them later.
You'll find the repo at:
https://github.com/magnars/dash.el
Run the tests with:
make check
Regenerate the docs with:
make docs
I highly recommend that you install these as a pre-commit hook, so that the tests are always running and the docs are always in sync:
cp dev/pre-commit.sh .git/hooks/pre-commit
Oh, and don't edit README.md
or dash.texi
directly; they are
auto-generated. Change readme-template.md
or dash-template.texi
instead, respectively.
To ensure that dash.el
can be distributed with GNU ELPA or Emacs, we
require that all contributors assign copyright to the Free Software
Foundation. For more on this, see (info "(emacs) Copyright Assignment")
