local _ = require 'shim'

_.isArray({1, 2, 3}) -- => true
_.isEqual({a = 1, b = 2}, {a = 1, b = 2}) -- => true

basic wrapper for oo style

_({1, 2, 3}):map(function(x) return x * 2 end)
-- => {2, 4, 6}

chain support

_({1, 0, 2, 4})
	:chain()
	:sort()
	:map(function(x) return x * 2 end)
	:filter(function(x) return x < 6 end)
	:value()
-- => {0, 2, 4}

pretty print

print(_.dump({
	a = 1,
	b = {
		a = 1,
		b = {2, 3, 4}
	}
}))
--[[ =>
{
	'b': {
		'b': [2, 3, 4],
		'a': 1
	},
	'a': 1
}
]]
