Ramda .isEmpty() calls jQuery .empty()

When using Ramda to check if a jQuery object is empty, Ramda will call jQuery’s .empty() on the object, which in turns removes that element’s children from the DOM.

You can see a working demo here, https://jsfiddle.net/msmh0a83/.

I believe the error stems from here, https://github.com/ramda/ramda/blob/ef2516966351d9a27abcfdfeed0aa701cbeee15d/src/empty.js#L39.

@codeithuman You could also pass in the node directly using .get(). Updated fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/msmh0a83/1/

I think in the future we may have more well defined dispatching. For example here we dispatch to the empty method, but jQuery’s empty was not designed with https://github.com/fantasyland/fantasy-land#empty-method in mind. Probably at some point we will drop built in support for empty in favor of fantasy-land/empty.

For now I would recommend

1. calling jQuery’s methods directly
2. creating wrapper functions around ramda functions you plan to use with jQuery objects

rather than passing jQuery objects directly as arguments to ramda functions.
