map

Map allows us to apply an operation to each item of an array, returning a new array that contains the items with the operation applied.

This can save us lot of "for" loops (enhannce readibility).

steps

Let's implement a function that will apply a discount all the elements of a given array.

Backticks

Just using the new ES6 backticks to:

• Display multiline text.
• Embed variable values into strings (similar to print.format or c# string.format).

Steps

• Let's first create a multiline text using an ES6 approach:

Const / Let

Let:

• Variables that can change (be reassigned).
• Take in account block scope instead of function scope (e.g. issue var for or if).

Const:

• Variables that cannot be reassigned ()

reduce

Reduce allows us calculate a total, applying an operation on every operation of an array.

This can save us lot of "for" loops (enhannce readibility).

steps

Let's implement a function that will sum up an array.

Destructuring

The destructuring assignment syntax is a JavaScript expression that makes it possible to unpack values from arrays, or properties from objects, into distinct variables.

steps

Let's create a function that will concat a given client name and lastname.

Arrow functions

An arrow function has a shorter syntax that a function expression and does not bind its own this. arguments, super or new.target.

steps

Let's emulate an async call after a given timeout, if we do it in the traditional way, when

Currying

Currying is the act of turning a function into a new function that takes slightly fewer arguments, achieving a slightly more specific task.

Steps

Let's start by making a simple function that will sum up two numbers, using currying:

spread operator

The spread syntax allows an expression to be expanded in places where multiple arguments (for function calls) or multiple elements (for array literals) or multiple variables (for destructuring assignment) are expected.

steps

Copying an object but replacing some properties:

This one we will need bable to make it work

Typescript getting started

Let's get started with Typescript.

We will use Typescript online playground for this demos:

http://www.typescriptlang.org/play/

Steps

• Let's start with something very basic, if we paste this code on codepen (javascript):

Start

For sure now you will have a lot of questions poping up into your head, about cases where typing has not to be strict.

We will continue using typescript playground.

Let's start diving into that.
