# Madonna Function
Creates a function that validates its arguments via
[madonna-fp](https://github.com/olsonpm/madonna-fp), passing them to another
function. You can optionally configure mapper functions to modify the arguments
after validation. I created this because I often want to call a function and
know for certain the arguments are valid. The optional mapper is for
convenience since I also often need arguments to come in as raw json and passed
through a class or constructor. The mapping functionality is provided by
[madonna-map](https://github.com/olsonpm/madonna-fp).

**Tested against**
- node 0.10.0 for the (default) es5 version
- node 6.0.0 for es6 @ `require('madonna-function/es6')`

## Examples
```js
const createMadonnaFn = require('madonna-function').create
, printArgs = console.dir.bind(console);

// creates a function requiring the argument 'name' and prints it
let mfn = createMadonnaFn({
marg: { name: ['require', 'isLadenString'] }
, fn: printArgs
});

mfn({ name: 'matt' });
// prints
// { name: 'matt' }

// lets do the same but map name to all uppercase letters
let mfn = createMadonnaFn({
marg: { name: ['require', 'isLadenString'] }
, fn: printArgs
, argMap: { name: fp.toUpper }
});

mfn({ name: 'matt' });
// prints
// { name: 'MATT' }

// madonna-fp validation errors will be thrown if you pass invalid arguments
mfn({ name: 1 });
// throws the error
// Invalid Input: The following arguments didn't pass their criterion
// invalid arguments and values: {
// "name": 1
// }
// failed criterion per argument: {
// "name": {
// "flags": [
// "isLadenString"
// ]
// }
// }
```

## API
`require('madonna-function').create`
- Takes the following arguments
- **marg**: `require` `isLadenPlainObject`
- marg stands for 'madonna-fp argument'. It is passed to madonna-fp which
is used to validate the arguments in calls to the returned function.
- **fn**: `require` `fp.isFunction`
- The function called with the validated, and possibly mapped arguments
- **argMap**: `isLadenPlainObject`
- An object with keys present in **marg** to functions whose input
will be the validated value, and output will be passed to **fn**.
Examples above should clarify any confusion.
- Returns a function that validates its input against **marg**. Any properties
in **argMap** will pass through their mappers. All validated and mapped
values will be passed into **fn**.
