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 Rescript 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.

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

Install via npm by:

npm install tablecloth-rescript

Then add to your bsconfig.json file:

"bs-dependencies" : ["tablecloth-rescript"]

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 supports Rescript 9 and 10. Older versions of Tablecloth supported older versions of bs-platform.

When developing Tablecloth, you can test it against different versions of rescript, using the following commands:

• TC_RESCRIPT_VERSION=10.0.0 make deps

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.

Please refer to the package.json for a complete list of supported actions. Here is a handful of useful, supported commands:
