Functional Programming in JavaScript: How and Why

Functional Programming is a programming paradigm where you mostly construct and structure your code using functions.  

 

Features:

  • First-class citizens functions: you can always insert functions inside a function without any restrictions present.
  • A higher-order function: a function that gets a function as an argument.
  • Function Composition: an act of composing/creating functions that allow you to further simplify and compress your functions by taking functions as an argument and return an output.

 

  Benefits:

  • It doesn’t have side-effects and it’s immutable
  • It’s clean, straightforward and KISS
