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.

Summary


In this chapter, we looked at filtering collections in Immutable.js. There are a number of ways to filter collections, including simple value comparisons and comparing the keys of maps. The filter() method is fundamental, and it's up to you to provide it with the appropriate predicate function.

We looked at finding values, which is similar to filtering except that it stops iterating over the collection once a match is found. You then learned about deep collection equality in Immutable.js. This is a common task when building applications, including the ability to perform partial deep equality checks. We also addressed the concept of searching in the opposite direction.

In the next chapter, we'll look at sequences and side-effects.
