20 of my most popular JavaScript Tips 💡

Thread 🧵👇

Pass arguments as an object.

The meaning becomes much more clear from the names of the properties.
Also, the order doesn’t matter anymore.

Trust me - your teammates will be happy 🙌

Extending the standard built-ins is considered bad practice.

Create your own utility class instead 🙌
(...And share it on NPM, if it's useful to others).

JavaScript ES2021 🚀
It's here!!

Are you up to speed with some of the cool new features we got in ES2021?

Let's take a look 👇🧵

JavaScript ES2021 (or ES12) - was published in June 2021 and introduces some cool new features to the JavaScript language.

Should you care?!

Well, it's not groundbreaking (like ES6), but it does introduce some features that you should familiarize yourself with.

Let's dive in!

🔸 String.prototype.replaceAll()

The current 'String.prototype.replace()' method only replaces the first occurrence, unless a regular expression with a global modifier is provided.

With the new 'String.prototype.replaceAll()' method, we can finally omit the regex 👇

🔥 Functional Style JavaScript 🔥

The most popular and widely accepted style of writing JavaScript in 2021.

But what is "functional style" and why is it so popular?

Let's take a look 🧵 👇

JavaScript is a multi-paradigm programming language.

This means that the language is open for programming in different styles, including object-oriented, procedural, prototypal, and functional.

By far, the most common styles you see are object-oriented and functional.

🔹 Imperative vs. declarative

👉 Object-oriented programming follows an imperative paradigm.

👉 Functional programming follows a declarative paradigm.

Let’s look at the difference.

5 annoying JavaScript habits that you want to avoid.

I see these 5 over and over.

They are bad for performance, readability, and they signal a lack of basic understanding of the JavaScript language.

Let me go through them here 🧵👇

Using map() instead of forEach().

Arrays expose different methods for different purposes.
If you are simply iterating through a list, you want to use forEach(), not map().

Using the wrong method may miscommunicate the intent.

Creating an extra arrow function (thus an extra function closure), while not being necessary is both bad for readability and bad for performance.

It's a sign that the author doesn't truly understand that in the nature of JavaScript, you can pass functions by reference.

🔥 Kill this interview question 🔥

🎯 The challenge
Write a function that — given a string — returns true if the string is a palindrome or false otherwise.

Let's look at 11 different approaches to solving this in JavaScript 👇🧵

👌 The definition

A palindrome is a word, number, phrase, or other sequence of characters which reads the same backward as forward, such as taco cat or madam or racecar or the number 10801.

- Wikipedia

According to the definition, we need to strip potential non-alphanumeric characters thus convert to lower-case.

So in all of the following solutions, we will be using a "clean" function to get a clean sequence of characters.
