Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Key Features

• Apply functional programming concepts and techniques to everyday JavaScript or TypeScript programming
• Master functional programming in JavaScript and TypeScript to solve real-world development problems
• Apply functional programming to get better testable programs with higher modularity and reusability

Book Description

Functional programming (FP) is a programming paradigm that uses functions for developing software. This book is filled with examples that enable you to leverage the latest JavaScript and TypeScript versions to produce modern and clean code, along with teaching you to how apply FP techniques to develop more efficient algorithms, write more concise code, and simplify unit testing.

This functional programming book provides comprehensive coverage of the major topics in FP to produce shorter, clearer, and testable programs. You’ll begin by getting to grips with writing and testing pure functions, reducing side effects, as well as other key features to make your applications functional in nature. The book specifically explores techniques to simplify coding, apply recursion, perform higher-level coding, learn ways to achieve immutability, implement design patterns, and work with data types.

By the end of this JavaScript book, you’ll have developed the practical programming skills needed to confidently enhance your applications by adding FP to wherever it’s most suitable.

What you will learn

• Understand when to use FP versus classic object-oriented programming (OOP)
• Use declarative coding versus imperative coding for clearer, more understandable code
• Know how to avoid side effects and create more reliable code with closures and immutable data
• Use recursion to help design and implement more understandable solutions to complex problems
• Define FP data types, type checking, and immutability, and specify them using TypeScript
• Apply advanced containers to get better structures to tackle errors or async programming

Who This Book Is For

If you are a JavaScript or TypeScript developer looking to enhance your programming skills, then this book is for you. The book applies to both frontend developers working with frameworks such as React, Vue, or Angular as well as backend developers using Node.js or Deno.
