FRP Guides

==========

This respository collects tutorials, guidelines, examples, patterns and half-baked ideas on functional reactive programming (FRP).

At the moment, it is organized a bit like a curated Wiki. If you've found a nice code pattern, or a cool link, don't hesitate to make a pull request.

The focus is on FRP libraries written in [Haskell][], using the style originally pioneered by Conal Elliott, and developed e.g. in the [reactive-banana][], [frpnow][] or [sodium][] libraries.

Table of Contents

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

* [Heinrich Apfelmus](apfelmus/)

    * [Introduction to Functional Reactive Programming](apfelmus/frp-intro.md) — Slides and video link for a introductory talk I gave at Bobkonf 2016

    * [The Model-View-Controller Pattern and Functional Reactive Programming](apfelmus/mvc.md) — Three useful principles for structuring GUI code.

External Resources

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

* FRP was pioneered by Conal Elliott and his writings are a good source on the topic.

  * ["Functional Reactive Animation"][2a] — This is the seminal paper that started the whole FRP thing. It's still a nice, though somewhat outdated overview of FRP.

  * ["Declarative event-oriented programming"][2b] — Practial example that demonstrates the utility of FRP for GUI programming. Excellent introduction to the general programming philosophy.

  * ["Push-pull functional reactive programming"][2c] — Good read for understanding how the model is mapped to an API in terms of applicative and other functors.

* Stephen Blackheath and Anthony Jones have written a [book "Functional Reactive Programming"][blackheath]. It is an introduction to FRP using Java as the main language, but it also describes several patterns that occur in practice.
