Building Functional Islands

What is Functional Programming?
Statements const nums = [1, 2, 3]; const doubled =
[]; for (let i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) { doubled.push(nums[i] * 2); }
Statements const nums = [1, 2, 3]; const doubled =
[]; for (let i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) { doubled.push(nums[i] * 2); }
Statements const nums = [1, 2, 3]; const doubled =
[]; for (let i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) { doubled.push(nums[i] * 2); }
Statements const nums = [1, 2, 3]; const doubled =
[]; for (let i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) { doubled.push(nums[i] * 2); }
function double(x) { return x * 2; } map([1, 2,
3], double); Expressions
function double(x) { return x * 2; } map([1, 2,
3], double); // [(1 * 2), (2 * 2), (3 * 2)] Expressions
function double(x) { return x * 2; } map([1, 2,
3], double); // [(1 * 2), (2 * 2), (3 * 2)] // [2, 4, 6] Expressions
Why Functional Programming?
Functions Island Building Block #1
First-Class Functions function onClick() { // I'm a first-class function
} document.body.addEventListener('click', onClick);
function onClick() { // I get called by a higher-order
function } document.body.addEventListener('click', onClick); Higher-Order Functions
Higher-Order Functions function logify(fn) { return (...args) => { console.log(args);
return fn(...args); }; } const logifyAdd = logify(add); function add(x, y) { return x + y; }
Higher-Order Functions function logify(fn) { return (...args) => { console.log(args);
return fn(...args); }; } const logifyAdd = logify(add); function add(x, y) { return x + y; }
Higher-Order Functions function logify(fn) { return (...args) => { console.log(args);
return fn(...args); }; } const logifyAdd = logify(add); function add(x, y) { return x + y; }
Higher-Order Functions const logifyAdd = logify(add); logifyAdd(1, 2); // [1,
2] // 3
Higher-Order Functions The Benefits
Pure Functions function add(x, y) { // I'm a pure
function return x + y; }
Pure Functions add(1, 2) + add(3, 4);
Pure Functions add(1, 2) + add(3, 4); // 3 +
add(3, 4);
Pure Functions add(1, 2) + add(3, 4); // 3 +
add(3, 4); // 3 + 7;
Pure Functions add(1, 2) + add(3, 4); // 3 +
add(3, 4); // 3 + 7; // 10;
function addAndSomethingElse(x, y) { // I'm an impure function doSomethingElse();
return x + y; } Pure Functions
Pure Functions addAndSomethingElse(1, 2) // ???
Pure Functions The Benefits
Pure Functions The Reality
Immutability Island Building Block #2
Immutable values const nums = [1, 2, 3]; const person
= { name: 'mark', age: 29 }; nums[0] = 2; // [2, 2, 3] person.age = 27; // { name: 'mark', age: 27 }
Immutable values const nums = [1, 2, 3]; const person

Immutable values const nums = [1, 2, 3]; const person
= { name: 'mark', age: 29 }; nums[0] = 2; // [2, 2, 3] person.age = 27; // { name: 'mark', age: 27 }

Object.freeze const nums = Object.freeze([1, 2, 3]); const person =
Object.freeze({ name: 'mark', age: 29 }); nums[0] = 2; // [1, 2, 3] person.age = 27; // { name: 'mark', age: 29 }
Object.freeze const nums = Object.freeze([1, 2, 3]); const person =
Object.freeze({ name: 'mark', age: 29 }); nums[0] = 2; // [1, 2, 3] person.age = 27; // { name: 'mark', age: 29 }
Object.freeze const nums = Object.freeze([1, 2, 3]); const person =
Object.freeze({ name: 'mark', age: 29 }); nums[0] = 2; // [1, 2, 3] person.age = 27; // { name: 'mark', age: 29 }
Object.freeze const employee = Object.freeze({ department: 'Eng', profile: { name:
'mark', age: 29 } }); employee.profile.age = 27; // {...{ name: 'mark', age: 27 } }
Object.freeze const employee = Object.freeze({ department: 'Eng', profile: { name:
'mark', age: 29 } }); employee.profile.age = 27; // {...{ name: 'mark', age: 27 } }
Object.freeze const employee = Object.freeze({ department: 'Eng', profile: { name:
'mark', age: 29 } }); employee.profile.age = 27; // {...{ name: 'mark', age: 27 } }
deepFreeze const employee = deepFreeze({ department: 'Eng', profile: { name:
'mark', age: 29 } }); employee.profile.age = 27; // {...{ name: 'mark', age: 29 } }
