TypeScript 5 Design Patterns and Best Practices - Second Edition
By :
In this chapter, we’ll start exploring some programming paradigms available in the TypeScript language, beginning with functional programming. Unlike design patterns, which are reusable solutions to common problems, functional programming concepts serve as the fundamental building blocks that can be combined in various ways to create robust and flexible programming patterns.
Functional programming is already inherent in JavaScript, allowing developers to leverage concepts such as Higher-Order Functions (HOFs), closures, and recursion. TypeScript builds on these principles by adding static typing, which provides greater safety when building larger, more complex applications.
Functional programming is centered around key concepts such as expressions, function composition, recursion, immutability, purity, and referential transparency. By leveraging these concepts, particularly through HOFs, you can achieve greater flexibility and maintainability...
