cardigan _{^{| node.js function serialization}}

Install

Usage

Function serialization:

const {serialize} = require('cardigan');

const add = serialize((a, b) => a + b);
const subtract = serialize((a, b) => a - b);

// Do something with serialized functions (e.g. send to supporting FaaS, save to disk)

PROTIP: Functions should not reference anything outside their lexical scope.

Function deserialization:

const {deserialize, serialize} = require('cardigan');

const add = serialize((a, b) => a + b);
const subtract = serialize((a, b) => a - b);

const add2And3 = deserialize(add)(2, 3); // 5
const subtract3And2 = deserialize(subtract)(3, 2); // 1
