How to Create Objects in JavaScript
Objects are the main unit of encapsulation in Object-Oriented Programming. In this article, I will describe several ways to build objects in JavaScript. Those are:
Object literalObject.create()ClassesObject LiteralFirst, we need to make a distinction between data structures and object-oriented objects. Data structures have public data and no behavior. That means they have no methods.
We can easily create such objects using the object literal syntax. It looks like this:
const product = {name: 'app...

Vue.js Composition API
The Vue.js Composition API provides a new way of managing reactivity. It is made of a set of Reactive API functions and plus the facility to register lifecycle hooks using imported functions.
In the Vue.js Composition API book, we are taking a look at how to implement this Reactive API from scratch. Then we will implement a master-details functionality.
Chapter 01: Building a Reactive APIWe start our learning journey by first understanding what reactivity is how is implemented in Vue 3. Imagine we...

Functional Programming in JavaScript
In Functional Programming in JavaScript, you will find how to use JavaScript as a functional programming language.
It turns out that JavaScript has everything it needs to be used as a functional language. We just have to remove features from the language starting with the ‘this’ keyword.
Functions are values. Functions can operate on other functions.
Inner functions can access variables from the outer functions even after the outer functions have executed.
Functional programming makes code easier to...
