Mastering JavaScript Functional Programming: In-depth guide for writing robust and maintainable JavaScript code in ES8 and beyond
Master functional programming techniques with this comprehensive guide for writing cleaner, safer, and performant JavaScript code
Key FeaturesMaster functional programming in JavaScript to solve real-world development problemsApply functional programming concepts and techniques to everyday JavaScript programmingBring modularity, reusability, and testability to your web appsBook DescriptionFunctional programming is a programming paradigm for developing software using functions. With functional programming, you can write more concise code, with increased concurrency and performance. Moreover, the JavaScript language is particularly compatible with functional programming.
In this book, you'll explore major topics in functional programming with JavaScript to effectively produce shorter, cleaner, and testable programs. You'll delve into functional programming, and get up to speed with writing and testing pure functions, and even reducing side-effects, along with discovering other features to make your applications functional in nature. As you advance, you'll cover techniques to simplify coding, apply recursion for loopless coding, achieve immutability, implement design patterns, and also work with data types.
By the end of this book, you'll have mastered the JavaScript skills you need to confidently program functional applications.
What you will learnCreate reliable code with closures and immutable dataConvert existing methods into pure functions, and loops into recursive methodsDevelop powerful applications with currying and function compositionSeparate the logic of your system from implementation detailsImplement composition and chaining techniques to simplify codingUnderstand how to implement object-oriented programming design patterns in functional programmingWho this book is forIf you are a JavaScript developer who wants to apply functional programming techniques, then this book is for you. Basic knowledge of functional programming concepts is required.
