In the previous post about Angular and RxJS we discussed the AsyncPipe and how it can be used to consume Observables in Angular templates. This time we will focus on the essence of functional-reactive programming. Let's see how we can reinvent the way we look at how data flows in our program.
Using RxJS with Angular: part 1
Recently I wrote about using RxJS as part of my Functional Programming in JavaScript course. Let’s see how to combine RxJS with the Angular framework.
Real bug story: very long-running jobs in Hangfire
Hangfire is a great tool which can help you with doing background processing in .NET web applications. It’s great for tasks such as background import or asynchronous processing of some events or requests.
Ahead Of Time compilation in Angular [VIDEO]
This week instead of a regular article I’ve decided to post a video recording of the talk I gave last week on Angular Warsaw meetup #14.
Functional JavaScript part 8: functional-reactive programming with RxJS
Let's talk about RxJS - another concept that has recently established itself as an important part of modern JavaScript. In JavaScript applications you sometimes have to deal with streams of asynchronous events. For example, events could be produced by the user (button clicks, key presses) or pushed by a backend server (via web sockets or some other mechanism).
Functional JavaScript part 7: Redux
It's time to see a practical application of immutability. You will now learn about Redux - an amazing concept which will change how you think about building applications.
Honest advice for JavaScript developers
Have you noticed the abundance of tutorials, introductions and guides devoted to post-ES6 JavaScript?
Functional JavaScript part 6: immutable.js
In the previous post we saw some techniques that can help us implement immutability. However, none of them feel very natural in plain, vanilla JavaScript. It doesn't feel like the language and the standard library have been designed with immutability in mind. It's not surprising given that one of the language's main purposes was to mutate DOM (the Document Object Model).
Functional JavaScript part 5: immutability basics
In previous posts we've discussed how to deal with arrays in a functional way. We've learned about an important concept in Functional Programming: higher order functions. Let's now tackle another very important concept: immutability.
Functional JavaScript part 4: lodash
With this post we will finalize the part of this course devoted to array operations Vanilla JavaScript provides us with some higher order functions (such as forEach , filter , map and reduce). However, there are actually many more such functions in the world of functional programming. Lodash is a library which extends your arsenal of higher order functions. Let’s have a look at how to use it in practice.
