babel-plugin-reduce-with-operator

This plugin allows you reduce an array, without writing callback function. Example arr.reduceWithOperator(+). It looks for reduceWithOperator member function call and converts it into native reduce function with a callback. Currently it supports +, -, *, / and % operators.

Note: This plugin uses custom parser to support operators as arguments.
