You can’t get far as a JavaScript programmer without learning about functions and objects, and when used together, they are the building blocks we need to get started with a powerful object paradigm called composition. Today we’ll look at some idiomatic patterns for using factory functions to compose functi...
One of the advantages of thinking about JavaScript in a functional way is the ability to build complex functionality using small, easy to understand individual functions. But sometimes that involves looking at a problem backwards instead of forwards in order to figure out how to create the most elegant solution. In thi...

In this article we will discuss how to use Higher Order Components to keep your React applications tidy, well structured and easy to maintain. We’ll discuss how pure functions keep code clean and how these same principles can be applied to React components. Pure Functions A function is considered pure if it adheres t...
Often we need to represent an idea or concept in our programs — maybe a car engine, a computer file, a router, or a temperature reading. Representing these concepts directly in code comes in two parts: data to represent the state, and functions to represent the behavior. ES6 classes give us a convenient syntax for de...
