A tiny library for functional programming in dart
tiny_fp #
A Haskell inspired tiny package to do functional programming in dart which doesn't get in your way and provides minimal paradigms along with base types to create your own custom types.
Warning
tiny_fp is currently in alpha stage and is bound to have some API changes and cleanups as the development progresses further.
Usage of this package in a production application or environment is not recommended.

Goals #
This package was designed with the following goals in mind:
- Minimal Footprint: Keep the package size as small as possible.
- Feature-Rich, Yet Minimal: Include essential features and paradigms from functional programming to improve readability and maintainability, while avoiding unnecessary complexity.
- Extensibility: Allow users to create their own types based on provided foundational types.
Foundational Types #
| Type | Derived By | Core Purpose | Implemented |
|---|---|---|---|
SumType<T> |
Maybe<T>, Either<E, T> |
A generalized base type for algebraic sum types, representing one of multiple possible values. | ✅ |
ProductType<A, B> |
Tuple |
Represents a composite type that combines multiple values of different types. | ❌ |
Functor<T> |
Maybe<T>, Either<E, T> |
Provides a way to apply functions to wrapped values inside a data structure. | ❌ |
Applicative<T> |
Maybe<T>, Either<E, T> |
Extends Functor to allow applying functions inside a functor to values inside another functor. |
❌ |
Monad<T> |
Maybe<T>, Either<E, T> |
Extends Applicative to support chaining of computations that return wrapped values. |
❌ |
Foldable<T> |
Maybe<T> |
Allows folding values inside a data structure into a single result. | ❌ |
Built-in Types #
| Type | Derived From | Purpose | Implemented |
|---|---|---|---|
Maybe<T> |
SumType<T> |
Represents an optional value (Just or Nothing). |
✅ |
Either<E, T> |
SumType<T> |
Represents a value that is either a success (Right) or an error (Left). |
✅ |
Tuple<A, B> |
ProductType<A, B> |
A tuple containing two values of different types. | ❌ |
