immutability-helper VS ramda

if you're feeling fancy, try out https://www.npmjs.com/package/immutability-helper

Here’s a lib that could help: https://github.com/kolodny/immutability-helper

I'm OK to use any of the libraries immutability-helper, immutable-js etc or ES6. I've tried and googled this for over 4 hours, and still cannot wrap my head around it. Would be extremely grateful for some help.

I doubt that’s true, check this out, it’s designed with your use case in mind.

This tutorial uses the create-react-app as the starting template. The react and react-dom dependencies are both version 17.0.2. The react-scripts is version 4.0.0. The yup library is the fourth dependency and it is version 0.32.9. The fifth and last dependency is immutability-helper, version 3.1.1.

Are you perplexed by the syntax of immutability-helper? Repulsed by immer.js's use of assignment? Alarmed by lodash's lack of type safety?

If you still insist using a deeply nested and quite complex object, I would advise you look at immutability-helper - https://github.com/kolodny/immutability-helper or similar immutable library.

JavaScript is great for point-free programming! Make sure you check out Ramda.js https://ramdajs.com/

It’s fun in the sense that solving a puzzle is fun, but I avoid it for anything I need to maintain long-term.

But it’s good practice for understanding combinators which is useful for some kinds of problems.

This is very cool. I remember I got sucked into things like Ramda going down this functional programming rabbit hole :-)

To create our pipeline, I'm going to use the pipe function from the NodeJS ramda library instead of building my own.

Other libraries to check out are pratica and ramda

I recently took ownership of the new types/ramda repo. This repo is re-exported by @types/ramda and is the first step to bringing type definitions for ramda in-house. We're already hard at work correcting major issues, adding full currying support, and general bug fixes

I'm going to be honest. You probably don't need to use currying in JavaScript. In fact, trying to fit it in your code is going to do more harm than good, unless it's just for fun. Currying only becomes useful when you fully embrace functional programming, which, in JavaScript, means using a library like Ramda instead of the standard built-in functions.

Lodash gets so many things wrong I’d rather not see it in most projects. I appreciate a good utility library for JS projects but my go-to choice has to be Ramda[1]. Every function it exports is curried and works great with pipe which enables me to write highly reusable and composable functions in pointfree notation. I have never been as productive with lodash, and I find the functional style easier to read

Do note though that ramda is different from rambda. 👍 (Granted they are very similar!)
