## Example

D3 code before

```js
// x and y are scale functions
var line = d3.svg.line()
  .x(function (d) { return x(new Date(d.date)); })
  .y(function (d) { return y(+d.y); });
```

This is very common D3 callback code. Here is the same code with callbacks refactored
with *d3-helpers*

```js
var line = d3.svg.line()
  .x(d3h('date', d3h.newDate, x))
  .y(d3h('y', Number, y));
```

Notice several benefits:

1. The `.x` callback is easier to read from left to right:
grab property *date*, then call *d3h.newDate* function on it, then call *x* function.
No more inside out composition flow as in `x(new Date(d.date))`
2. Allowing only property names and functions to apply makes the author's intention clear.
`+d.y` is always ambiguous: did the author forget to add something or was this the
intention? Writing `d3h('y', Number, ...)` makes it explicit.
3. By eliminating writing each callback function, we eliminate potential sources of errors.
In addition, since every function passed as argument is external, they becoming testable.

## Install

Node:

```
npm install d3-helpers --save
var d3h = require('d3-helpers');
```

Browser:

```
bower install d3-helpers
<script src="bower_components/d3-helpers/index.js"></script>
// attaches as window.d3h object
```

## Api

```
// index
d3h (alias d3h.d)
d3h.i
d3h.noop
d3h.undef
d3h.pass (alias d3.datum)
d3h.property
d3h.yes / no
d3h.index
d3h.value
d3h.newDate
d3h.hermit
```

**d3-helpers** is a [well-tested](test/helpers.spec.js) function
augmented by other tiny functions. First the *d3h* function itself

### d3h = d3h.d

Returns a function that can chain property access and function composition.

`d3h('propertyName', fnToApply, 'method name to call', 'anotherPropertyName', orAnotherFn, ...);`

```js
var foo = {
  getName: function() { return this.name; },
  name: 'foo'
};
function concatSelf(x) { return x + x; }
function add2(x) { return x + 2; }
var f = d3h('getName', concatSelf, 'length', add2);
f(foo) // returns 8

// f is the same as
function (obj) {
  return add2(concatSelf(obj.getName()).length);
}
```

Use on `d` argument:

```js
  .x(d3h('length', xScale));
  // d3h.d is an alias
  .(d3h.d('length', xScale));
```

When calling a method on the object, `this` is bound to the
object, and it is passed itself as first argument.

### d3h.i

Same chaining as `d3h.d` but operates on the second argument, usually the index

```js
.y(d3h.i(yScale))
// same as
.y(function (d, i) {
  return yScale(i);
});
```

If you want to return the index element, you need to execute the function to create the callback

```js
.y(d3h.i())
// same as
.y(function (d, i) {
  return i;
});
```

### d3h.noop

Same as `function () {}`

### d3h.undef

Same as `function () { return; }` if you need a function that
always returns *undefined*.

### d3h.pass = d3.datum

Same as `function (d) { return d; }`

You can pass a function as argument, then it works as a wrapped
function for any value passed next. For example to scale by function
*triple* we can replace

```
function triple(x) { return 3 * x; }
.attr('left', function (d) { return triple(d); })
// with
.attr('left', d3h.pass(triple));
```

### d3h.property

```js
function property(name) {
  return function (obj) {
    return obj[name];
  };
}
// if passed function(s) as additional arguments
function property(name, f, g, ...) {
  return function (obj) {
    return g(f(obj[name]));
  };
}
```

Logically, read this from left to right. First grab named property,
then apply function *f*, then apply to the result *g*, etc.

Useful to extract a property and convert type, for example for D3 selections

```js
.text(d3h.property('name'))
.width(d3h.property('age', Number))
.text(d3h.property('date', String))
```

or scale property from datum

```js
var x = d3.time.scale(), y = d3.scale.linear();
var line = d3.svg.line()
  .x(function (d) { return x(d.date); })
  .y(function (d) { return y(d.y); });
// same using d3-helpers
var line = d3.svg.line()
  .x(d3h.property('date', x))
  .y(d3h.property('y', y))
```

### d3h.yes / no

*d3h.yes* function always returns `true`,
*d3h.no* function always returns `false`.

### d3h.index

Same as `function (d, i) { return i; }`

### d3h.value

Same as

```js
function (val) {
  return function () {
    return val;
  };
}
```

Value could be anything: number, string, undefined, even another function.

### d3h.newDate

Same as `function (d) { return new Date(d); }` to get around
the `new` keyword requirement in JavaScript for Dates. Useful
for constructing Date instances inside *d3h.property*

```js
var x = d3.time.scale();
var line = d3.svg.line()
  .x(function (d) { return x(new Date(d.date)); })
// same using d3-helpers
var line = d3.svg.line()
  .x(d3h.property('date', d3h.newDate, x))
```

### d3h.hermit

Wraps a function that should not receive any arguments. Returned function just
calls the original without any arguments.

```js
function failIfArguments() {
  if (arguments.length) {
    throw new Error('I cannot handle arguments');
  }
  return 42;
}
d3h.hermit(failIfArguments)(100); // 42
```

## Related

I have another tiny library with single exported function called
[functional-pipeline](https://github.com/bahmutov/functional-pipeline).
It is very similar to *d3h* function for building a left to right
pipelines, but has better debug mode.
