Mastering Immutable.js

By: Adam Boduch

Overview of this book

Immutable.js is a JavaScript library that will improve the robustness and dependability of your larger JavaScript projects. All aspects of the Immutable.js framework are covered in this book, and common JavaScript situations are examined in a hands-on way so that you gain practical experience using Immutable.js that you can apply across your own JavaScript projects. The key to building robust JavaScript applications using immutability is to control how data flows through your application, and how the side-effects of these flows are managed. Many problems that are difficult to pinpoint in large codebases stem from data that’s been mutated where it shouldn’t have been. With immutable data, you rule out an entire class of bugs. Mastering Immutable.js takes a practical, hands-on approach throughout, and shows you the ins and outs of the Immutable.js framework so that you can confidently build successful and dependable JavaScript projects.

Preface

Chapter 16. Immutable Architecture

The final chapter of this book is about putting together the tools and techniques that you've learned from previous chapters into a cohesive application architecture. You'll expand on the application that you built in Chapter 14, Side-Effects in User Interfaces, and by doing so, you'll learn about the following:

  • Creating a generic application state updater component
  • Providing initial state and side-effect functions
  • Updating the application state in response to user events
  • Running side-effects in response to state updates
