Chaining functions in typescript

I have some formatting functions that should be applied on some strings:

const limitSize = (limit: number): ((str: string) => string) => {
  return (str: string) => str.substring(0, limit)
}

const replaceNewLine = (replaceWith: string): ((str: string) => string) => {
  return (str: string) => str.replace(/\n/g, replaceWith)
}

They both return a function that can be applied on a string

How can I chain them together so that the result returns also a function that can be applied on strings?

Is there a lodash utility I'm missing?

Solution

  • I think you need flow function of Lodash or pipe of Ramda

    function square(n) {
  return n * n;
}
 
var addSquare = _.flow([_.add, square]);
addSquare(1, 2);
// => 9
