How to write this point-free?

Question

Can I write this somehow using ramda?

const getJobs = data => anotherF('/jobs', data)

perhaps something like

const getJobs = anotherF('/jobs', nthArg(0))

Thank you

Answer 1

If anotherF is already a curried function, then you can just write

const getJobs = anotherF('/jobs')

So, if it's not curried, or if you don't know, you can write

const getJobs = curry(anotherF)('/jobs')

But there is a good reason to wonder why it would be worth it. I'm one of the founders of Ramda and I'm a big fan, but I think of it as a toolkit to use when it makes my code easier to read and write. Any other use seems a misuse.

You can use R.partial to apply /jobs' to the function, and return a new function that expects the data :

 const anotherF = (path, data) => console.log(path, data) const getJobs = R.partial(anotherF, ['/jobs']) getJobs('data')
