LIBFPLUS(3)

💖 NAME 💖

libfplus — a library to help you write concise and readable C++ code 🦋

ok so bestie, before we even get into it, there's a lil production hiccup baked right into this page, and I'm not gonna pretend it isn't there:

System Message: WARNING/2 (debian/libfplus.3.rst:, line 5) Title overline too short. ------------------------------------------------------ Library to help you write concise and readable C++ code ------------------------------------------------------

like, the title overline is literally too short. it's giving "tried my best, honestly" 💀 anyway. not our problem today. moving on ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

libfplus is a header-only C++ library. that's it. that's the whole synopsis. no linking, no building, no drama. just headers. periodt 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

the libfplus header-only library is aimed at allowing developers to write concise and readable C++ code. yes, both. at the same time. iconic behaviour fr fr.

and here's the vibe straight from the project home page, quoted exactly because I would never:

FunctionalPlus is a small header-only library supporting you in reducing code noise and in dealing with only one single level of abstraction at a time. By increasing brevity and maintainability of your code it can improve productivity (and fun!) in the long run. It pursues these goals by providing pure and easy-to-use functions that free you from implementing commonly used flows of control over and over again.

read that again. "productivity (and fun!)" — the library said what it said, and honestly? it ate 🔥

the whole point: instead of you hand-rolling the same loops and control flow for the hundredth time like it's your villain origin story, this library hands you pure, easy-to-use functions and lets you stay on one single level of abstraction at a time. no cap.

🎀 EXAMPLE 🎀

• to include files from the libfplus library, write an inclusion statement of this sort:

#include <fplus/fplus.hpp>

• in CMake-based projects, simply use the following statement:

find_package(FunctionalPlus);

then, target_link_libraries(TARGET FunctionalPlus::plus...).

see? two lines and you're in. lowkey obsessed 🫶
