Removables

Removables are optionals that can also remove the focus.

To remove a focus, provide REMOVE symbol as an argument to put or update.

import { flow, eq, at, update, REMOVE } from '@constellar/core'

const focus = flow(eq<string[]>(), at(2))
const removed = update(focus, REMOVE)(['a', 'b']) // ['a']

Optionals are optics where the focus is not always present.

When composing with an optional, you don't have to explicitly handle undefined values.

function optional<Part, Whole>({
	getter,
	mapper,
	setter,
}: {
	getter: (whole: Whole) => Part | undefined
	mapper?: (mod: (p: Part) => Part, w: Whole) => Whole
	setter: (part: Part, whole: Whole) => Whole
	remover: (p: Part) => Part
})

getter function returns the value of the focus, setter updates it and optionally mapper applies a modifying function. When mapper is not provided, it is derived from getter and setter. remover is the function that is appied when setting to remove.
