Tablecloth-melange

Tablecloth is a library that shims over various standard libraries so they have the same function and module names, which using idiomatic types and patterns in each language.

This is the Melange implementation, which uses Belt, pipe-first, and camelCase.

Tablecloth is alpha-quality software, and is pre-1.0. It is currently undergoing some significant shifts and some libraries listed below are not available yet. Caveat emptor.

Installation

Note: these instructions are for the upcoming new version of tablecloth

Install via opam by:

Usage

The recommended way to use Tablecloth is with a top-level open at the beginning of a file.

This will ensure that all the built-in modules are replaced.

open Tablecloth

let () =
  String.toList("somestring")
  ->List.map(Char.toCode)
  ->List.map((x) => x+1))
  ->List.filterMap(Char.fromCode)
  ->String.fromList

Tablecloth is tested on OCaml 5.1.0 and Melange 2.1.0.

Contributions

The maintainers are warm and friendly, and the project abides by a Code of Conduct.

There are many small tasks to be done - a small change to a single function can be extremely helpful. We also welcome new versions of tablecloth for other languages, or even for the same language but based on other libraries.
