Terminologies

Advice

In this package, the Advice is defined as a function that returns a function that has a same form for an original function passed as an argument. In order to apply an advice, it calls the advice function with passing an original function as an argument. By applying an advice, it can add an additional behavior to an original function.

An example is shown below.

const logAdvice = next => {
  console.log('In logAdvice');
  return () => next();
};

const task = () => {
  // Do something.
};

const taskWithLogging = logAdvice(task);

This package provides utilities to make the Advice easier to use when programming with Continuation-passing style (CPS).

Adviser

The Adviser is defined as a function that generates an Advise.
