Discover functional programming patterns with RamdaJS. Learn about pure functions, currying, and point-free style while deepening your knowledge of map, filter, and reduce methods.

We know the functional programming (FP) hype train's been riding strong the past few years, especially in the JavaScript community. We extol FP in countless books, videos, and blog posts, with no sign of slowing down.

As a result this course isn't to convince you, today's JS developer, of how awesome FP is. I'm simply sharing some popular patterns using Ramda, an FP library that I've blogged on many times.

Before going through them, though, we will lay the groundwork with concepts like pure functions, currying, and point-free style.

You're already doing FP through map, filter, reduce, and Lodash, so why not dive a bit deeper and see if you like it down here?

Functional Programming Patterns With RamdaJS!

Here's the [GitHub link](https://github.com/yazeedb/ramda-wikipedia-search) and [Codesandbox link](https://codesandbox.io/s/y2zpq2xw39).

Open your terminal and pick a directory to clone it.

```
git clone https://github.com/yazeedb/ramda-wikipedia-search
cd ramda-wikipedia-search
yarn install (or npm install)
```

The `master` branch has the finished project, so checkout the `start` branch if you wish to code along.

```
git checkout start
```

And start the project!
```
yarn start (or npm start)
```

Your browser should automatically open [localhost:1234](http://localhost:1234/).

Clone via Github, checkout the "start" branch, yarn start. The "master" branch has the final code. (1 min. read)
