Overview of this book

If you are looking for a programming language to develop flexible and efficient applications, JavaScript is an obvious choice. Advanced JavaScript is a hands-on guide that takes you through JavaScript and its many features, one step at a time. You'll begin by learning how to use the new JavaScript syntax in ES6, and then work through the many other features that modern JavaScript has to offer. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll use asynchronous programming with callbacks and promises, handle browser events, and perform Document Object Model (DOM) manipulation. You'll also explore various methods of testing JavaScript projects. In the concluding chapters, you'll discover functional programming and learn to use it to build your apps. With this book as your guide, you'll also be able to develop APIs using Node.js and Express, create front-ends using React/Redux, and build mobile apps using React/Expo. By the end of Advanced JavaScript, you will have explored the features and benefits of JavaScript to build small applications.

Shared State


A shared state is any variable, object, or memory space that exists in a shared scope. Any non-constant variable used by multiple separate scopes, including the global scope and closure scopes, is considered to be in a shared state. In functional programming, shared states should be avoided. A shared state prevents a function from being pure. When the shared state rule is violated and the program modifies a variable, a side effect is created. In OOP, shared states are often passed around as objects. OOP functions may modify the shared state. This is very much against functional programming rules. An example of a shared state is shown in the following snippet:

const state = { age: 15 }
function doSomething( name ) {
  return state.age > 13 ? '${name} is old enough' : '${name} is not old enough';
}

Snippet 5.7: Shared state

In the preceding example, we have a variable in the global scope called state. In our function called doSomething, we reference the variable state to make...
