Consistency Predictability Safety

Consistency Predictability Safety
Immutability Pure functions
Pure functions Input Output No side effects Isolated from the
world Transforms input -> output
Pure functions let eat = (food) => { let foodList
= [, , , ] if(foodList.includes(food)) { return } else { return } }
Pure functions eat() // => eat() // =>
Easy to test describe("eat", () => { it("returns when ",
() => { expect(eat()).toBe() }) })
Impure functions let eat = (food) => { let foodList
= [, , , ] if(foodList.includes(food)) { console.log() } else { console.log() } } Not testable, depends on the world
Immutability Never change a value, create a new one
Immutability Functions are black boxes, changing their input is unpredictable
