You will learn how to use JavaScript as a functional programming language in Functional Programming in JavaScript. JavaScript, it turns out, has everything it needs to be used as a functional language. We simply need to remove features from the language that begin with the keyword 'this.'
Values are functions. Functions can perform operations on other functions. Even after the outer functions have been executed, inner functions can access variables from the outer functions. Functional programming simplifies the reading, understanding, testing, and debugging of code.
Here are a few examples of what you will learn:
- Using a linter, disable 'this' and enable immutable data objects.
- What is the best way to work with immutable objects and collections?
- How to perform data transformations with core operations such as filter, map, sort, and reduce
- How to use if and switch statements in a functional way
- How to build pipelines and use currying to pass extra data
- Learn about functors and monads.
- Working with promises and observables
- Recognize the Elm Architecture
