Advent of Code 2022
Functional, strongly-typed (not gradually-typed) immutable typescript version.
Requirements
- Node with NPM
- Typescript
- ts-node
Usage
The Typescript files in the src directory will can be executed from the
command line if ts-node is
npm-installed globally.
My plan is to edit the day's file (src/1.ts for day 1), which should be
executable (chmod 755 *.ts), and execute it on the command line
(./src/1.ts).
Methodology
I'm planning on treating this as purely functional as I can get. JS-based means that I won't be frustrated by syntax, and that I can implement helper modules or functions as I go that will help me maintain functional patterns without thinking too hard about it. A familiar syntax means that I'll stick with it longer.
Testing
I'll figure that out. But since I can run files arbitrarily from the
command line and use my files as ES modules, I should be able to have a
test directory with a files corresponding to each src file that imports
that source file as a module, executes its functions and returns whether
or not the values match the expected. If I find myself creating a more
fully-featured test suite, I'll just import one.
