Running a Set of Functions Imported from a Module in TypeScript

As developers, we often face the challenge of executing multiple functions from an external module or file. This is particularly common when we need to transform data by running several functions in succession. If you're working in TypeScript and have imported functions that you wish to execute, you might be wondering: how can you run each function and collect their returned values without changing the source code of the library itself?

In this guide, we will explore a straightforward solution to this problem by using TypeScript's capabilities, allowing you to run multiple functions imported from a module in an efficient manner.

Understanding the Problem

Let's break down the scenario. You have a set of functions exported from one file (often referred to as a module), and you want to run each of them in a specific order. Each function returns a value that you would like to collect into a list or array for further processing.

To illustrate this, consider the following code snippets from two files:

The Solution

To execute all the functions imported from val_funcs, we can utilize the Object.values method in JavaScript or TypeScript. This method retrieves the values of an object, and in this context, it can be applied to execute each function easily. Here’s how you can do it:

Step 1: Running Each Function

To run each function in your val_funcs, simply iterate through the values and call them:

Step 2: Filtering Non-Function Values

It's essential to ensure that the values you're calling are indeed functions. If your module exports non-function entities, you can filter them out by checking their type before executing them:

Step 3: Collecting Returned Values

If your goal is to collect the returned values from each function instead of just executing them, you can make use of the Array.map method. This allows you to transform the array of functions into their respective returned values:

This code snippet does the following:

Filters out any non-function values to ensure you only call actual functions.

Maps over the array of functions to execute each one, collecting their returned values into the values array.

Conclusion

By following the outlined steps, you can effectively run multiple functions imported from a module in TypeScript, collecting their output seamlessly. This approach maintains code flexibility and modularity without altering the source of the library, which is especially crucial in larger projects.

Feel free to adapt this structure to meet the specific requirements of your application, ensuring that your TypeScript program runs smoothly while incorporating different functions as needed.

Implementing this solution will sharpen your TypeScript skills and enable you to manage function execution efficiently in your projects.
