JavaScript Design Patterns

Overview of this book

Unlock the potential of JavaScript design patterns, the foundation for development teams seeking structured and reusable solutions to common software development challenges in this guide to improving code maintainability, scalability, and performance. Discover how these patterns equip businesses with cleaner and more maintainable code, promote team collaboration, reduce errors, and save time and costs. This book provides a comprehensive view of design patterns in modern (ES6+) JavaScript with real-world examples of their deployment in professional settings. You’ll start by learning how to use creational, structural, and behavioral design patterns in idiomatic JavaScript, and then shift focus to the architecture and UI patterns. Here, you’ll learn how to apply patterns for libraries such as React and extend them further to general web frontend and micro frontend approaches. The last section of the book introduces and illustrates sets of performance and security patterns, including messaging and events, asset and JavaScript loading strategies, and asynchronous programming performance patterns. Throughout the book, examples featuring React and Next.js, in addition to JavaScript and Web API examples, will help you choose and implement proven design patterns across diverse web ecosystems, transforming the way you approach development.

What are creational design patterns?

Creational design patterns handle object creation. They allow a consumer to create object instances without knowing the details of how to instantiate the object. Since, in object-oriented languages, instantiation of objects is limited to a class’s constructor, allowing object instances to be created without calling the constructor is useful to reduce noise and tight coupling between the consumer and the class being instantiated.

In JavaScript, there’s ambiguity when we discuss “object creation,” since JavaScript’s multi-paradigm nature means we can create objects without a class or a constructor. For example, in JavaScript this is an object creation using an object literal – const config = { forceUpdate: true }. In fact, modern idiomatic JavaScript tends to lean more toward procedural and function paradigms than object orientation. This means that creational design patterns may have to be adapted to be fully useful in JavaScript.

In summary, creational design patterns are useful in object-oriented JavaScript, since they hide instantiation details from consumers, which keeps coupling low, thereby allowing better module separation.

In the next section, we’ll encounter our first creational design pattern – the prototype design pattern.
