Why underscore-contrib?

-----------------------

While Underscore provides a bevy of useful tools to support functional programming in JavaScript, it can't

(and shouldn't) be everything to everyone. Underscore-contrib is intended as a home for functions that, for

various reasons, don't belong in Underscore proper. In particular, it aims to be:

  * a home for functions that are limited in scope, but solve certain point problems, and

  * a proving ground for features that belong in Underscore proper, but need some advocacy and/or evolution

(or devolution) to get them there.

Use

---

First, you’ll need Underscore. Then you can grab the relevant underscore-contrib libraries and simply add

something

like the following to your pages:

    

    

At the moment there are no cross-contrib dependencies (i.e. each library can stand by itself), but that may

change in the future.

Contributing

------------

There is still a lot of work to do around perf, documentation, examples, testing and distribution so any help

in those areas is welcomed. Pull requests are accepted, but please search the [issues](https://github.com/documentcloud/underscore-contrib/issues)

before proposing a new sub-contrib or addition. Additionally, all patches and proposals should have strong

documentation, motivating cases and tests. It would be nice if we could not only provide useful tools built on

Underscore, but also provide an educational experience for why and how one might use them.

Other (potentially) useful sub-contribs include the following:

  * String utilities

  * Date/time utilities

  * Validators

  * Iterators

  * Generators

  * Promises

  * Monads

  * Currying

  * Laziness

  * Multimethods

What do these mean? Well, that’s up for discussion. :-)
