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 4. Filtering Collections and Finding Items

Filtering collections is the most common operation performed with Immutable.js collections. Filters get us the parts of the collection that matter: the data that's relevant for the task at hand. There are only a handful of collection methods that are relevant to filtering collections and finding specific values, each of which can be used in many ways to get us the data that we need. In this chapter, you'll learn about the following:

  • The basics of filtering Immutable.js collections
  • Filtering maps based on their keys
  • Finding specific collection values
  • How deep equality in Immutable.js works
  • Performing partial matches when searching
  • Changing the search direction
