Overview of this book

ECMAScript 6 introduces several new Object-Oriented features that drastically change the way developers structure their projects. Web developers now have some advanced OOP functionality at their disposal to build large-scale applications in JavaScript. With this book, we'll provide you with a comprehensive overview of OOP principles in JavaScript and how they can be implemented to build sophisticated web applications. Kicking off with a subtle refresher on objects, we'll show you how easy it is to define objects with the new ES6 classes. From there, we'll fly you through some essential OOP principles, forming a base for you to get hands-on with encapsulation. You'll get to work with the different methods of inheritance and we'll show you how to avoid using inheritance with Duck Typing. From there, we'll move on to some advanced patterns for object creation and you'll get a strong idea of how to use interesting patterns to present data to users and to bind data. We'll use the famous promises to work with asynchronous processes and will give you some tips on how to organize your code effectively. You'll find out how to create robust code using SOLID principles and finally, we'll show you how to clearly define the goals of your application architecture to get better, smarter, and more effective coding. This book is your one-way ticket to becoming a JavaScript Jedi who can be counted on to deliver flexible and maintainable code.

Encapsulation and information hiding


Encapsulation is one of the basic principles of the OOP paradigm. It allows us to bundle it into one object both data and functionalities that operate on that data.

Using the methods exposed by the object to manipulate the data, we take advantage of the encapsulation principle ignoring its internal complexity and implementation details. In other words, encapsulation hides the internal details regarding how the object manipulates its data. This feature, called the information hiding principle, is often related to encapsulation, although it is a more general principle. By hiding internal details, we obtain at least two great benefits:

  • We provide a simple way to use an object, hiding the internal complexity

  • We decouple the internal implementation from the use of the object, simplifying change management

The information hiding principle enforces the design of objects to have at least two parts: a public part and a private one. Only the public part is accessible...
