square-bracketify

Aren't regular curved brackets boring? Wouldn't it be fun to spice up your JavaScript?

Introducing Square-Bracketify, the latest in innovative, lightweight JavaScript libraries.

Go from this:

console.log("Wow, a regular function call.", "How boring.");

To this:

consoleLog[["This is much more exciting!", "I love square brackets!"]];

Usage

Call squareBracketify to transform your boring functions into fun Square Bracket Functions™

import squareBracketify from "square-bracketify";

function sayHello(firstName, lastName, times = 1) {
  for (let i = 0; i < times; i += 1) {
    console.log(`Hello, ${firstName} ${lastName}!`);
  }
}

// the squareBracketify function comes pre-squared
const sayHelloButWithSquareBrackets = squareBracketify[[sayHello]];

sayHelloButWithSquareBrackets[["David", "Bailey", 2]];

Look in demo/script.js for more usage examples.

How does it work?
