Exports the Action type along with many useful Step
types which are used to create 'live' functions.
Actions are very expressive, more controllable and mutable almost
without any performance penalty. The flow is easy to track as it is
declarative. You can create new step types which interpret your code
at speed.
Actions can be used for:
regular code - You can use Actions to implement common patterns
like function chaining and passing the same arguments to multiple functions.
declarative programming - You can build up code for the same action in
multiple places, allowing you to be more declarative in how you write code.
This is a powerful feature for reactivity.
implementing other libraries that will generate code on the fly - You can
create and modify actions easily without parsing and compiling from
string (unlike Function constructor). This allows you to maintain a consistently
good performance throughout your code.
custom DSLs - You can write your own steps to interpret code however you
like. for example your own markup language
etc - You can probably do other cool things with Actions that we havent yet
to mention or envisage.
Actions can be used in any JavaScript environment as it has no
platform dependencies. It is of course performant and lightweight.
