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.

Filtering Examples
SQL queries often contain filtering conditions. As we will see filtering in action, we will first implement the filter function using reduce. Then we will apply various conditions on our queries to filter our results. We will filter regular joins as well as aggregated results. - Learn how to implement the filter function using reduce - Filter an inner join query - Filter a left join query
