Refactoring to Modern JavaScript
ES6+ ushered JavaScript into the modern era. Features like fat-arrow functions, destructuring, rest/spread operators can help us write code that is simple, succinct and elegant. Features like Classes can help organize our models better, and async/await can help make our asynchronous code easier to reason about.
In this session we will take a simple piece of functionality, and see how we can refactor it to use modern JavaScript capabilities. This will give us the ability to see how these features can help us, and where we should be careful as we go about migrating our code.
