Before to start I need to...

Map - Reduce - Filter

Map - Reduce - Filter

  • The map() method creates a new array with the results of calling a provided function on every element in the calling array.
  • The reduce() method applies a function against an accumulator and each element in the array (from left to right) to reduce it to a single value.
  • The filter() method creates a new array with all elements that pass the test implemented by the provided function.

var characters = [
  { name: 'Alfred', occupation: 'Butler', age: 70},
  { name: 'Batman', occupation: 'CEO of Wayne Enterprises', age 40},
  { name: 'Harley Quinn', occupation: 'Former psychiatrist', age: 29},
  { name: 'Joker', occupation: 'Vilain', age: 35}
];

var occupations = characters.map((character) => {
  return character.occupation;
});

console.log(occupations);

var characters = [
  { name: 'Alfred', occupation: 'Butler', age: 70},
  { name: 'Batman', occupation: 'CEO of Wayne Enterprises', age 40},
  { name: 'Harley Quinn', occupation: 'Former psychiatrist', age: 29},
  { name: 'Joker', occupation: 'Vilain', age: 35}
];

var totalAge = characters.reduce((sum, character) => {
  return sum + character.age;
}, 0);

console.log(totalAge);

var charactersObject = characters.reduce((array, character) => {
  array.push(character.name);
  return array;
}, [])

console.log(charactersObject);

Pure Functions

 

A function is considered pure if it adheres to the following properties:

  • All the data it deals with are declared as arguments
  • It does not mutate data it was given or any other data (these are often referred to as side effects).
  • Given the same input, it will always return the same output

Pure Functions

 

Pure add function

function add(x, y) {
  return x + y;
}

Impure add function

let y = 12;
function add(x) {
  return x + y;
}

Pure Functions

 

This function is not pure because it references data that it hasn’t directly been given. As a result, it’s possible to call this function with the same input and get different output:

let y = 2;
add(3) // 5
y = 3;
add(3)

How the scope (this) works

 

How the scope (this) works

 

RHS reference (who's the source of the assignment)

console.log( a );

LHS reference (who's the target of the assignment)

a = 2;

How the scope (this) works

 

RHS & LHS references

function foo(a) {
    console.log( a ); // 2
}

foo( 2 );

How the scope (this) works

 

  • Engine: Hey Scope, I have an RHS reference for foo. Ever heard of it?
  • Scope: Why yes, I have. Compiler declared it just a second ago. He's a function. Here you go.
  • Engine: Great, thanks! OK, I'm executing foo.
  • Engine: Hey, Scope, I've got an LHS reference for a, ever heard of it?
  • Scope: Why yes, I have. Compiler declared it as a formal parameter to foo just recently. Here you go.
  • Engine: Helpful as always, Scope. Thanks again. Now, time to assign 2 to a.
  • Engine: Hey, Scope, sorry to bother you again. I need an RHS look-up forconsole. Ever heard of it?
  • Scope: No problem, Engine, this is what I do all day. Yes, I've gotconsole. He's built-in. Here ya go.
  • Engine: Perfect. Looking up log(..). OK, great, it's a function.

How the scope (this) works

 

var a = 2;
function myObject() { this.a = 2; };
var o = new myObject();

What's the difference?

Call vs Apply vs Bind

 

var me = {firstName: 'Carlos', lastName: 'Goyeneche'};
var you = {firstName: 'John', lastName: 'Titor'};
function say(greeting) {
    console.log(greeting + ' ' +
    this.firstName + ' ' +
    this.lastName);
}
say.call(me, 'Hello');
say.apply(me, ['Hello']);
var sayHelloJohn = say.bind(you);
sayHelloJohn();

What the heck is the Event Loop anyway?

 

What the heck is the Event Loop anyway?

 

console.log("Hello World");
setTimeOut(function(){
  console.log("I am in the timeout function")
}, 0)
console.log("I am outside of the timeout");

Callbacks vs Promises

Aren't promises just callbacks?

Callbacks vs Promises

Aren't promises just callbacks?

var myPromise = new Promise(
// Asynchronous simulation
    window.setTimeout(
        function() {
          resolve({
              response: 'yei!'
          });
        }, 2000);
    }
);

myPromise.then(
    function(res) {
      console.log(res);
    })
  .catch(
    function(error) {
      console.log('Houston we have problems.');
    });
}
