Mastering JavaScript Design Patterns - Second Edition

By: Simon Timms

Overview of this book

With the recent release of ES-2015, there are several new object-oriented features and functions introduced in JavaScript. These new features enhance the capabilities of JavaScript to utilize design patterns and software design methodologies to write powerful code. Through this book, you will explore how design patterns can help you improve and organize your JavaScript code. You’ll get to grips with creational, structural and behavioral patterns as you discover how to put them to work in different scenarios. Then, you'll get a deeper look at patterns used in functional programming, as well as model view patterns and patterns to build web applications. This updated edition will also delve into reactive design patterns and microservices as they are a growing phenomenon in the world of web development. You will also find patterns to improve the testability of your code using mock objects, mocking frameworks, and monkey patching. We’ll also show you some advanced patterns including dependency injection and live post processing. By the end of the book, you'll be saved of a lot of trial and error and developmental headaches, and you will be on the road to becoming a JavaScript expert.

ECMAScript-2015/2016 Solutions Today

In Part 1 we focused on patterns originally identified in the GoF book that were the original impetus behind patterns in software design. In this part of the book we'll expand beyond those patterns to look at patterns that are related to functional programming, large-scale patterns for structuring an entire application, patterns which are specific to the Web, and messaging patterns. In addition, we'll look at patterns for testing and some rather interesting advanced patterns. Finally, we'll look at how we can get many of the features of the next version of JavaScript today.
