This is a JavaScript-related lecture provided by Life Coding. It is a class on how to handle data immutably in JavaScript.
How to handle data immutably in JavaScript
Differences between how primitive data types and objects behave
How to clone an object
How to modify a clone without modifying the original object
Life Coding's JavaScript Immutability course covers how to handle data immutably in JavaScript. Targeted at learners familiar with basic JavaScript syntax, this course explores how to prevent data corruption by making it immutable.
This course covers the following topics:
The following is not covered:
Treating data immutably significantly reduces the likelihood of bugs caused by interference between data. It also makes it much easier to check whether data has changed. It also serves as the foundation for implementing advanced techniques like hot module reloading and time travel.
If you can predict the results of all the code below, you don't need to take this class.
var n1 = 1;
var n2 = 1;
console.log(n1 === n2);
=> It is true. Of course.
var o1 = {name:'kim'}
var o2 = {name:'kim'}
console.log(o1 === o2);
=> false . It's a bit ambiguous. JavaScript treats primitive data types, which don't change, differently from objects, which can.
var o1 = {name:'kim'}
var o2 = o1;
o2.name = 'lee';
console.log(o1.name);
=> This is lee. o1 doesn't even know English and the value of the name it is pointing to has changed.
var o1 = {name:'kim'}
var o2 = Object.assign({}, o1); // Copy o1 to an empty object.
o2.name = 'lee';
console.log(o1.name);
=> This is Kim. Changing o2 does not affect o1. This allows o1 to remain invariant with respect to o2.
var o1 = {score:[1,2]}
var o2 = Object.assign({}, o1);
o2.score.push(3);
console.log(o1.score)
=> [1,2,3]. I don't know English, so o1 changed again. This is because score is an array, which is a type of object.
var o1 = {score:[1,2]}
var o2 = Object.assign({}, o1);
o2.score = o2.score.concat(); // Copy the array.
o2.score.push(3);
console.log(o1.score)
=> [1,2].
There is another way: copy everything.
var o1 = {score:[1,2]}
var o2 = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(o1));
o2.score.push(3);
console.log(o1.score)
=> [1,2].
It's a good idea to be careful not to change the original, but it's also possible to prevent the original from changing at all.
var o1 = {name:'kim'}
Object.freeze(o1);
o1.name = 'lee';
console.log(o1.name);
=> It's 'kim'.
But objects don't do this.
var o1 = {score:[1,2]}
Object.freeze(o1);
o1.score.push(3);
console.log(o1.score);
// [1,2,3].
Defensive freezing is required.
var o1 = {score:[1,2]}
Object.freeze(o1);
Object.freeze(o1.score);
o1.score.push(3);
console.log(o1.score);
// It doesn't change. It even causes a protest error.
