Modern JavaScript Applications

By: Narayan Prusty

Overview of this book

Over the years, JavaScript has become vital to the development of a wide range of applications with different architectures. But JS moves lightning fast, and it’s easy to fall behind. Modern JavaScript Applications is designed to get you exploring the latest features of JavaScript and how they can be applied to develop high-quality applications with different architectures. Begin by creating a single page application that builds on the innovative MVC approach using AngularJS, then move forward to develop an enterprise-level application with the microservices architecture using Node to build web services. After that, shift your focus to network programming concepts as you build a real-time web application with websockets. Learn to build responsive, declarative UIs with React and Bootstrap, and see how the performance of web applications can be enhanced using Functional Reactive Programming (FRP). Along the way, explore how the power of JavaScript can be increased multi-fold with high performance techniques. By the end of the book, you’ll be a skilled JavaScript developer with a solid knowledge of the latest JavaScript techniques, tools, and architecture to build modern web apps.

Errors in Bacon.js


Bacon provides the Bacon.Error constructor to explicitly mark events or values of EventStreams or properties respectively as errors so that Bacon can identify them and open up a wide variety of other APIs to work with those errors specifically.

Depending on how we create a stream, Bacon.js can sometimes identify whether an event is a success or error event, and if it's an error event, then it can convert it to Bacon.Error. For example, if we use Bacon.fromPromise to create an EventStream, then Bacon can identify an error easily, since when an error occurs in a promise pattern, the second callback of the then() method or the callback passed to the catch() method is executed.

In case Bacon cannot identify whether an event is an error or success event while creating a stream, then we need to explicitly create instances of Bacon.Error and replace the error events with them. For example, when using Bacon.fromCallback, there is no way for Bacon.js to know whether an event is a...
