Refactoring to Modern JavaScript Workshop
JavaScript now has a yearly release cycle. Every release introduces new features that aim to make us (JavaScript developers) more productive, while making our code succinct, expressive, and (potentially) bug-free.
By the end of this workshop you will be intimately familiar with the newer set of JavaScript features, and ready to dive into your next JavaScript project with confidence.
This workshop allows you to explore many of the new features that we use on a daily basis, including
letandconst- Default parameters
- The new “fat arrow” function syntax
- Template strings
- Object and array de-structuring and spread
- The newly added
Map/Setdata-structures - The new
classsyntax as well as static/private members and methods - Promises and async/await
- Modules
- Optional catch binding
- Nullish coalescing operator / Optional chaining operator
This workshop uses tests to verify and validate all of your changes, so you can be confident in your changes as you go about refactoring your code to use modern JavaScript language features.
Each section of the workshop builds on the previous one, allowing you to continuously refactor code and get tons of practice.
If you want to be fully caught up with all of the changes that have landed in JavaScript between 2015 and 2021, this is the workshop you want to attend!
