# <img align="right" src="https://raw.github.com/magnars/dash.el/master/rainbow-dash.png"> dash.el [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/magnars/dash.el.png)](http://travis-ci.org/magnars/dash.el)
A modern list api for Emacs. No 'cl required.
## Installation
It's available on [marmalade](http://marmalade-repo.org/):
M-x package-install dash
Or you can just dump `dash.el` in your load path somewhere.
## Functions
[[ function-list ]]
There are also anaphoric versions of these functions where that makes sense,
prefixed with two dashs instead of one.
## Anaphoric functions
While `-map` takes a function to map over the list, you can also use
the anaphoric form with double dashes - which will then be executed
with `it` exposed as the list item. Here's an example:
```cl
(-map (lambda (n) (* n n)) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; normal version
(--map (* it it) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; anaphoric version
```
of course the original can also be written like
```cl
(defun square (n) (* n n))
(-map 'square '(1 2 3 4))
```
which demonstrates the usefulness of both versions.
## Documentation and examples
[[ function-docs ]]
## Development
Run the tests with
./run-tests.sh
Create the docs with
./create-docs.sh
I highly recommend that you install these as a pre-commit hook, so that
the tests are always running and the docs are always in sync:
cp pre-commit.sh .git/hooks/pre-commit
Oh, and don't edit `README.md` directly, it is auto-generated.
Change `readme-template.md` or `examples-to-docs.el` instead.
