pretzel

General predicate functions. Combine predicates into new ones, plus a bunch of predicates on strings.

Usage

Get the code from clojars: http://clojars.org/pretzel

(require '[pretzel.strings :as str])

(str/natural? "1234")
(str/integer? "-123213")             
(str/hex? "deadb33f")
((str/length 3) "bla")
((str/length 2 4) "bla")
(str/web-url? "http://foo.bar/somewhere")

(str/looks-like-email? "[email protected]")
(str/looks-like-phone? "+ (020) 213213-2323")

(use 'pretzel.combine)

((every-p?
  str/natural?
  (str/length 2 3))
 "123")

API

strings

Functions in pretzel.strings all operate on strings. Functions with names ending in "?" should be real predicates - that is; they return strictly true or false. Predicates that require additional parameters are generated as curried functions. See pretzel.string/length for an example.

Functions that are named looks-like-* are approximations and may yield false positives and false negatives. The strategy is to minimize overall false negatives in the "real world". There are currently no equivalent functions to minimize false positives.

combining predicates

Functions in pretzel.combine combine multiple predicates applying to the same argument(s) into a new predicate. Currently, the combinations are based on the clojure.core combinations some, every?, not-any? and not-every?. Note that, since some isn't a predicate, some-p is not a strict predicate either.

Open development

Any additional predicates are welcomed, as are bug fixes or reports. For bug fixes/reports, keep in mind that looks-like-* predicates are meant to be roughly non-strict. If you've got suggestions for strict counter-parts, please also suggest a naming scheme and implementations.

The quickest way to get fixes & features in this project is to open a pull request for a patch. See the github documentation on pull requests on how to go about that.
