# Advanced Modern JavaScript Patterns Advanced patterns covering functional programming, modern class features, ES6 modules, iterators, generators, modern operators, and performance optimization. ## Functional Programming Patterns ### 1. Array Methods **Map, Filter, Reduce:** ```javascript const users = [ { id: 1, name: "John", age: 30, active: true }, { id: 2, name: "Jane", age: 25, active: false }, { id: 3, name: "Bob", age: 35, active: true }, ]; // Map - Transform array const names = users.map((user) => user.name); const upperNames = users.map((user) => user.name.toUpperCase()); // Filter - Select elements const activeUsers = users.filter((user) => user.active); const adults = users.filter((user) => user.age >= 18); // Reduce - Aggregate data const totalAge = users.reduce((sum, user) => sum + user.age, 0); const avgAge = totalAge / users.length; // Group by property const byActive = users.reduce((groups, user) => { const key = user.active ? "active" : "inactive"; return { ...groups, [key]: [...(groups[key] || []), user], }; }, {}); // Chaining methods const result = users .filter((user) => user.active) .map((user) => user.name) .sort() .join(", "); ``` **Advanced Array Methods:** ```javascript // Find - First matching element const user = users.find((u) => u.id === 2); // FindIndex - Index of first match const index = users.findIndex((u) => u.name === "Jane"); // Some - At least one matches const hasActive = users.some((u) => u.active); // Every - All match const allAdults = users.every((u) => u.age >= 18); // FlatMap - Map and flatten const userTags = [ { name: "John", tags: ["admin", "user"] }, { name: "Jane", tags: ["user"] }, ]; const allTags = userTags.flatMap((u) => u.tags); // From - Create array from iterable const str = "hello"; const chars = Array.from(str); const numbers = Array.from({ length: 5 }, (_, i) => i + 1); // Of - Create array from arguments const arr = Array.of(1, 2, 3); ``` ### 2. Higher-Order Functions **Functions as Arguments:** ```javascript // Custom forEach function forEach(array, callback) { for (let i = 0; i < array.length; i++) { callback(array[i], i, array); } } // Custom map function map(array, transform) { const result = []; for (const item of array) { result.push(transform(item)); } return result; } // Custom filter function filter(array, predicate) { const result = []; for (const item of array) { if (predicate(item)) { result.push(item); } } return result; } ``` **Functions Returning Functions:** ```javascript // Currying const multiply = (a) => (b) => a * b; const double = multiply(2); const triple = multiply(3); console.log(double(5)); // 10 console.log(triple(5)); // 15 // Partial application function partial(fn, ...args) { return (...moreArgs) => fn(...args, ...moreArgs); } const add = (a, b, c) => a + b + c; const add5 = partial(add, 5); console.log(add5(3, 2)); // 10 // Memoization function memoize(fn) { const cache = new Map(); return (...args) => { const key = JSON.stringify(args); if (cache.has(key)) { return cache.get(key); } const result = fn(...args); cache.set(key, result); return result; }; } const fibonacci = memoize((n) => { if (n <= 1) return n; return fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2); }); ``` ### 3. Composition and Piping ```javascript // Function composition const compose = (...fns) => (x) => fns.reduceRight((acc, fn) => fn(acc), x); const pipe = (...fns) => (x) => fns.reduce((acc, fn) => fn(acc), x); // Example usage const addOne = (x) => x + 1; const double = (x) => x * 2; const square = (x) => x * x; const composed = compose(square, double, addOne); console.log(composed(3)); // ((3 + 1) * 2)^2 = 64 const piped = pipe(addOne, double, square); console.log(piped(3)); // ((3 + 1) * 2)^2 = 64 // Practical example const processUser = pipe( (user) => ({ ...user, name: user.name.trim() }), (user) => ({ ...user, email: user.email.toLowerCase() }), (user) => ({ ...user, age: parseInt(user.age) }), ); const user = processUser({ name: " John ", email: "JOHN@EXAMPLE.COM", age: "30", }); ``` ### 4. Pure Functions and Immutability ```javascript // Impure function (modifies input) function addItemImpure(cart, item) { cart.items.push(item); cart.total += item.price; return cart; } // Pure function (no side effects) function addItemPure(cart, item) { return { ...cart, items: [...cart.items, item], total: cart.total + item.price, }; } // Immutable array operations const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; // Add to array const withSix = [...numbers, 6]; // Remove from array const withoutThree = numbers.filter((n) => n !== 3); // Update array element const doubled = numbers.map((n) => (n === 3 ? n * 2 : n)); // Immutable object operations const user = { name: "John", age: 30 }; // Update property const olderUser = { ...user, age: 31 }; // Add property const withEmail = { ...user, email: "john@example.com" }; // Remove property const { age, ...withoutAge } = user; // Deep cloning (simple approach) const deepClone = (obj) => JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj)); // Better deep cloning const structuredClone = (obj) => globalThis.structuredClone(obj); ``` ## Modern Class Features ```javascript // Class syntax class User { // Private fields #password; // Public fields id; name; // Static field static count = 0; constructor(id, name, password) { this.id = id; this.name = name; this.#password = password; User.count++; } // Public method greet() { return `Hello, ${this.name}`; } // Private method #hashPassword(password) { return `hashed_${password}`; } // Getter get displayName() { return this.name.toUpperCase(); } // Setter set password(newPassword) { this.#password = this.#hashPassword(newPassword); } // Static method static create(id, name, password) { return new User(id, name, password); } } // Inheritance class Admin extends User { constructor(id, name, password, role) { super(id, name, password); this.role = role; } greet() { return `${super.greet()}, I'm an admin`; } } ``` ## Modules (ES6) ```javascript // Exporting // math.js export const PI = 3.14159; export function add(a, b) { return a + b; } export class Calculator { // ... } // Default export export default function multiply(a, b) { return a * b; } // Importing // app.js import multiply, { PI, add, Calculator } from "./math.js"; // Rename imports import { add as sum } from "./math.js"; // Import all import * as Math from "./math.js"; // Dynamic imports const module = await import("./math.js"); const { add } = await import("./math.js"); // Conditional loading if (condition) { const module = await import("./feature.js"); module.init(); } ``` ## Iterators and Generators ```javascript // Custom iterator const range = { from: 1, to: 5, [Symbol.iterator]() { return { current: this.from, last: this.to, next() { if (this.current <= this.last) { return { done: false, value: this.current++ }; } else { return { done: true }; } }, }; }, }; for (const num of range) { console.log(num); // 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 } // Generator function function* rangeGenerator(from, to) { for (let i = from; i <= to; i++) { yield i; } } for (const num of rangeGenerator(1, 5)) { console.log(num); } // Infinite generator function* fibonacci() { let [prev, curr] = [0, 1]; while (true) { yield curr; [prev, curr] = [curr, prev + curr]; } } // Async generator async function* fetchPages(url) { let page = 1; while (true) { const response = await fetch(`${url}?page=${page}`); const data = await response.json(); if (data.length === 0) break; yield data; page++; } } for await (const page of fetchPages("/api/users")) { console.log(page); } ``` ## Modern Operators ```javascript // Optional chaining const user = { name: "John", address: { city: "NYC" } }; const city = user?.address?.city; const zipCode = user?.address?.zipCode; // undefined // Function call const result = obj.method?.(); // Array access const first = arr?.[0]; // Nullish coalescing const value = null ?? "default"; // 'default' const value = undefined ?? "default"; // 'default' const value = 0 ?? "default"; // 0 (not 'default') const value = "" ?? "default"; // '' (not 'default') // Logical assignment let a = null; a ??= "default"; // a = 'default' let b = 5; b ??= 10; // b = 5 (unchanged) let obj = { count: 0 }; obj.count ||= 1; // obj.count = 1 obj.count &&= 2; // obj.count = 2 ``` ## Performance Optimization ```javascript // Debounce function debounce(fn, delay) { let timeoutId; return (...args) => { clearTimeout(timeoutId); timeoutId = setTimeout(() => fn(...args), delay); }; } const searchDebounced = debounce(search, 300); // Throttle function throttle(fn, limit) { let inThrottle; return (...args) => { if (!inThrottle) { fn(...args); inThrottle = true; setTimeout(() => (inThrottle = false), limit); } }; } const scrollThrottled = throttle(handleScroll, 100); // Lazy evaluation function* lazyMap(iterable, transform) { for (const item of iterable) { yield transform(item); } } // Use only what you need const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; const doubled = lazyMap(numbers, (x) => x * 2); const first = doubled.next().value; // Only computes first value ``` ## Common Pitfalls 1. **this binding confusion**: Use arrow functions or bind() 2. **Async/await without error handling**: Always use try/catch 3. **Promise creation unnecessary**: Don't wrap already async functions 4. **Mutation of objects**: Use spread operator or Object.assign() 5. **Forgetting await**: Async functions return promises 6. **Blocking event loop**: Avoid synchronous operations 7. **Memory leaks**: Clean up event listeners and timers 8. **Not handling promise rejections**: Use catch() or try/catch
