TypeScript Design Patterns

By: Vilic Vane

Overview of this book

In programming, there are several problems that occur frequently. To solve these problems, there are various repeatable solutions that are known as design patterns. Design patterns are a great way to improve the efficiency of your programs and improve your productivity. This book is a collection of the most important patterns you need to improve your applications’ performance and your productivity. The journey starts by explaining the current challenges when designing and developing an application and how you can solve these challenges by applying the correct design pattern and best practices. Each pattern is accompanied with rich examples that demonstrate the power of patterns for a range of tasks, from building an application to code testing. We’ll introduce low-level programming concepts to help you write TypeScript code, as well as work with software architecture, best practices, and design aspects.

Preface

Chapter 2. The Challenge of Increasing Complexity

The essence of a program is the combination of possible branches and automated selections based on certain conditions. When we write a program, we define what's going on in a branch, and under what condition this branch will be executed.

The number of branches usually grows quickly during the evolution of a project, as well as the number of conditions that determine whether a branch will be executed or not.

This is dangerous for human beings, who have limited brain capacities.

In this chapter, we are going to implement a data synchronizing service. Starting by implementing some very basic features, we'll keep adding stuff and see how things go.

The following topics will be covered:

  • Designing a multi-device synchronizing strategy

  • Useful JavaScript and TypeScript techniques and hints that are related, including objects as maps and the string literal type

  • How the Strategy Pattern helps in a project
