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 11. Comparing Collections

We can compare Immutable.js collections to determine their equality. Much of the time, collections aren't exactly equal. In this chapter, we'll utilize the functionality of Immutable.js to help us determine the degrees of equality and inequality of collections by doing the following:

  • Finding the intersection of sets
  • Intersection techniques
  • Finding the difference between collections
  • Map intersections and differences
  • Finding supersets and subsets of lists
