Deep Dive into Functional JavaScript [Video]

By: Zsolt Nagy

Overview of this book

In this course, you will have an in-depth overview and the tools in your utility belt to write maintainable code in JavaScript. We will stick to the latest version of JavaScript in this course, ES2017. You don't have to know ES2017 to benefit from the course, as we will introduce the language constructs that we use during it. You will experience the benefits of functional programming even if your code is not purely functional. In this course, you will learn the building blocks that act as a utility belt in your arsenal, enabling you to write code that's easy to understand, extend, test, and debug. You will get hands-on practice on how to use currying, partial evaluation, map, reduce, filter, recursion, and other functional programming concepts in ES6.

Section 3
Introducing Map, Reduce, and Filter
Even though forEach looks like a functional utility, it is not usable when our goal is to write side-effect free code. We should still substitute loops with proper functional constructs. Therefore, it is now time to introduce the map, reduce, and filter operations. - Understand the implementation of map and use it in an example - Understand the implementation of reduce and use it in an example - Understand the implementation of filter and use it in an example
