<h3>The Problem</h3>
<pre><code class="js" data-trim>
getNestedValue({ foo: 1 }, 'foo') // 1
getNestedValue({ foo: { bar: 2 } }, 'foo.bar') // 2
getNestedValue({ hello: 'world' }, 'foo.bar') // undefined
</code></pre>
</section>
<section>
<h3>The Problem</h3>
<pre><code class="js" data-trim>
function getNestedValue(object, propertyName) {
if (!propertyName) throw new Error("Impossible to set null property");
const parts = propertyName.split(".");
const len = parts.length;
let subObject = object;
let i;
for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
if (!subObject || typeof subObject === "undefined") return undefined;
subObject = subObject[parts[i]];
}
return subObject;
}
</code></pre>
</section>
<section>
<h3>The Problem</h3>
<pre><code class="js" data-trim>
const parts = propertyName.split(".");
const len = parts.length;
let subObject = object;
let i;
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>multiple temporary variables</li>
<li>occupying "mind-estate"</li>
</ul>

<h3>The Problem</h3>
<pre><code class="js" data-trim>
for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
if (!subObject || typeof subObject === "undefined") return undefined;
subObject = subObject[parts[i]];
}

<h3>What is FP?</h3>
<ul>
<li>programming paradigm</li>
<li>evaluation of mathematical
<em>functions</em>
</li>
<li>functions are treated like values</li>
</ul>
</section>
</section>
<section>
<section>
<h3>Terminology</h3>
<h4>First-Class Functions</h4>
<ul>
<li>treating functions the same as other values
<br>(
<code>Object</code>,
<code>Number</code>,
<code>String</code>,
<code>Boolean</code>)</li>
<li>function definition is allowed where a value is expected</li>
</ul>
<pre><code class="js" data-trim>const sum = (a, b) => a + b</code></pre>
<pre><code class="js" data-trim>
const object = {
foo: 1,
bar: true,
baz: sum
}
</code></pre>
</section>
<section>
<h3>Terminology</h3>
<h4>Higher-Order Functions</h4>
<ul>
<li>takes a function as a parameter || returns a function</li>
<li>callbacks</li>
</ul>
<pre><code class="js" data-trim>
const add3 = v => v + 3;
const twice = (f) => (v) => f(f(v));
// Call directly
twice(add3)(3); // 9
// Store as value
const add6 = twice(add3);
add6(3); // 9
const add12 = twice(twice)(add3);
add12(3); // 15
</code></pre>
</section>
<section>
<h3>Terminology</h3>
<h4>Side Effect</h4>
<ul>
<li>mutating state outside of the scope</li>
<li>modifying a global variable</li>
<li>observable effect on the outside world</li>
<li>order matters</li>
</ul>
<pre><code class="js" data-trim>
// mutating state
let counter = 0;
const inc = () => counter += 1;
// observable effect
const log = data => console.log(data);
// Order changes the result
const fs = require('fs');
fs.readFileSync('./foo.txt') // "Hello World!";
fs.writeFileSync('./foo.txt', "Bar!");
fs.readFileSync('./foo.txt') // "Bar!"
</code></pre>
</section>
<section>
<h3>Terminology</h3>
<h4>Pure Function</h4>
<ul>
<li>no side effects</li>
<li>same parameters => same results</li>
<li>examples: sha1, Math.sin, </li>
</ul>
<pre><code class="js" data-trim>
const add3 = v => v + 3;
add3(3); // 6
add3(3); // 6
Math.sin(Math.PI / 4) // ~= 0.707
Math.sin(Math.PI / 4) // ~= 0.707
</code></pre>
</section>
</section>

<section>
<h3>Use Cases</h3>
Let's try improving the code from earlier!
<pre><code class="js" data-trim>
function getNestedValue(object, propertyName) {
if (!propertyName) throw new Error("Impossible to set null property");
const parts = propertyName.split(".");
const len = parts.length;
let subObject = object;
let i;
for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
if (!subObject || typeof subObject === "undefined") return undefined;
subObject = subObject[parts[i]];
}
return subObject;
}
</code></pre>
</section>
<section>
<h3>Use Cases</h3>
Replace the loop with
<code class="js">Array.prototype.forEach</code>
<pre><code class="js" data-trim>
function getNestedValue(object, propertyName) {
if (!propertyName) throw new Error("Impossible to set null property");
const parts = propertyName.split(".");
// const len = parts.length;
let subObject = object;
// let i;
parts.forEach(part => {
if (!subObject || typeof subObject === "undefined") return undefined;
subObject = subObject[part];
});
return subObject;
}
</code></pre>
</section>
<section>
<h3>Use Cases</h3>
Remove the side-effect by using
<code class="js">Array.prototype.reduce</code>
<pre><code class="js" data-trim>
function getNestedValue(object, propertyName) {
if (!propertyName) throw new Error("Impossible to set null property");
const parts = propertyName.split(".");
// let subObject = object;
// parts.forEach(part => {
// if (!subObject || typeof subObject === "undefined") return undefined;
// subObject = subObject[part];
// });
const nestedValue = parts.reduce((object, part) => {
if (!object || typeof object === "undefined") return undefined;
return object[part];
}, object);
return nestedValue;
}
</code></pre>
</section>
<section>
<h3>Use Cases</h3>
Extract the
<em>reducer function</em>
<code class="js">Array.prototype.reduce</code>
<pre><code class="js" data-trim>
function getValue(object, propertyName) {
if (!propertyName) throw new Error("Impossible to set null property");
if (!object || typeof object === "undefined") return undefined;
return object[propertyName];
}
function getNestedValue(object, propertyName) {
const parts = propertyName.split(".");
const nestedValue = parts.reduce(getValue, object);
return nestedValue;
}
</code></pre>
</section>
<section>
<h3>Use Cases</h3>
Get rid of unnecessary code
<pre><code class="js" data-trim>
function getValue(object, propertyName) {
if (!propertyName) throw new Error("Impossible to set null property");
return typeof object === "undefined" ? undefined : object[propertyName];
}
function getNestedValue(object, propertyName) {
return propertyName.split(".").reduce(getValue, object);
}
</code></pre>

{ name: "Hillary", username: "HillaryClinton" },
{ name: "Barack", username: "BarackObama" }

elements.reduce(max, -Infinity); // 10

const log = msg => console.log(msg);
users
.filter(isPresident)
.map(introduceUser)
