Overview of this book

Refactoring improves your code without changing its behavior. With refactoring, the best approach is to apply small targeted changes to a codebase. Instead of doing a huge sweeping change to your code, refactoring is better as a long-term and continuous enterprise. Refactoring TypeScript explains how to spot bugs and remove them from your code. You’ll start by seeing how wordy conditionals, methods, and null checks make code unhealthy and unstable. Whether it is identifying messy nested conditionals or removing unnecessary methods, this book will show various techniques to avoid these pitfalls and write code that is easier to understand, maintain, and test. By the end of the book, you’ll have learned some of the main causes of unhealthy code, tips to identify them and techniques to address them.

Special Case Pattern

Situation

Imagine there's a scheduled background process that fetches multiple orders from your database and tries to place/finalize them.

Like Amazon, we might have a complex process around placing orders that isn't as linear as we might think it would be.

In this case, we want a buffer period between the time when you click place order and when the order is really placed. This will make canceling an order an easy process (it avoids having to remove credit card charges and so on).

Given this scenario, we might be trying to process orders that have already been changed to an alternate state:

  • Canceled order.
  • Payment declined.
  • The payment gateway is not responding, so we need to wait and retry later.
  • Others!

Whenever you have multiple versions of these kinds of special cases, the Special Case pattern is here to save the day!

This pattern is just like the Null Object pattern but takes it that extra step.
