Wrap a function without changing its name and other properties.

Function wrappers return a new function which means the original function's
`name` and other properties are usually lost. This module enhances them to keep
those properties instead.

The new function will also print the original function's body when stringified.

Function wrappers are commonly used in functional programming. They take a
function as input and return it wrapped. Examples include
[memoizing](https://github.com/planttheidea/moize) or ensuring a function is
only called once.

# Hire me

Please
[reach out](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7117265228068716545/)
if you're looking for a Node.js API or CLI engineer (11 years of experience).
Most recently I have been [Netlify Build](https://github.com/netlify/build)'s
and [Netlify Plugins](https://www.netlify.com/products/build/plugins/)'
technical lead for 2.5 years. I am available for full-time remote positions.

# Example

```js
import keepFuncProps from 'keep-func-props'
// Any function wrapper works
import memoize from 'lodash/memoize.js'

const betterMemoize = keepFuncProps(memoize)

const anyFunction = () => true

// Function `name` and other properties are kept
console.log(anyFunction) // `[Function: anyFunction]`
console.log(memoize(anyFunction)) // `[Function: memoized]`
console.log(betterMemoize(anyFunction)) // `[Function: anyFunction]`

// Function body is kept when stringified
console.log(String(anyFunction))
// () => true
console.log(String(memoize(anyFunction)))
// function() {
// var args = arguments,
// key = resolver ? resolver.apply(this, args) : args[0],
// cache = memoized.cache;
// ...
// }
console.log(String(betterMemoize(anyFunction)))
// /* Wrapped with memoized() */
// () => true
```

# Install

```bash
npm install keep-func-props
```

This package works in both Node.js >=18.18.0 and
[browsers](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ehmicky/dev-tasks/main/src/browserslist).

This is an ES module. It must be loaded using
[an `import` or `import()` statement](https://gist.github.com/sindresorhus/a39789f98801d908bbc7ff3ecc99d99c),
not `require()`. If TypeScript is used, it must be configured to
[output ES modules](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/esm-node.html),
not CommonJS.

# Usage

```js
import keepFuncProps from 'keep-func-props'

// Any function wrapper works
const wrapper =
(anyFunction) =>
(...args) =>
anyFunction(...args)

// `betterWrapper` is like `wrapper` but it keeps the function properties
const betterWrapper = keepFuncProps(wrapper)
```

## keepFuncProps(wrapper)

`wrapper`: `(anyFunction, [...args]) => newFunction`\
_Returns_: new `wrapper`

A function `wrapper` is passed as argument. A copy of it is returned.
