      Probably not exactly three times slower because of engine optimizations, but you are correct, it is slower.
      That is one of the trade-offs that you as a developer should make, most of the times the improved readability is worth the performance decrease.
      If the reduce/map/filter structure is fast enough, great! If not, then it is time to optimize, otherwise it would be premature optimization.

    Another thing to keep in mind at ~10:15 is that you're now doing 3 loops compared to one loop. At some point you have to wonder whether you want to give up runtime for readability, because the for loop is definitely going to be faster. It doesn't matter when you have one record, but if you have an array of multiple hundreds of thousands of records if you're running a batch or an import of something, it is going to make a difference if you reduce, filter, and map, or just do one for loop. Technically you could also just do it in one reduce function.

    9:23 It should be a disclaimer that running the for-loop on orders once (in the code he advises against) is faster than iterating orders 3 times using orders.reduce, orders.map, and orders.filter. If orders is a huge array this could significantly impact performance, and then the for-loop would actually be an optimisation.

Shorter code is not necessarily easier to understand, especially for someone who is not yet a JS expert. So some of the tricks you showed I will absolutely be using, but others I won't just because - to me - they aren't as clear as what they are replacing. :)

    For spread syntax keep in mind that it only shallowly creates a new object. If you have deeply nested variables those are copied by reference, so to keep immutability with a deep object you can do, var x = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(some_obj));
    Not sure of the time cost, but it’s an easy way to maintain immutability.

  • @ycmjason

    Very nice video! But I find the Object.assign bit misleading. So I decided to comment here to clarify. In the video, he said instead of mutating an object, we might want to create a whole new object. Then he talked about Object.asign and said that object spread is just a syntactic sugar. This might mislead you to think that Object.assign will create a new object. But in fact, it doesn't. It mutates the first object in the arguments. And the object spread is only a syntactic sugar for Object.assign({}, ...), not for the whole Object.assign function. I hope this will clear things up. At last, thanks again to the creator for this informative, concise and easy-to-follow video!

  • @puargs
    @puargs 6 років тому +1146

    Please be very careful when condensing traditional loops to functions like map and filter... You can wind up running your loop several extra times, or in many cases dozens of extra times - per function call. It's often the case that a map or filter operation will be used by someone and re-run per element thousands of times on a single page load or interaction, and they'll even let it run on the UI thread... Concise code is good, and I like a lot of your recommendations but please exercise caution with convenience/style in the loop category. I see probably 3-4 times a month places in our prod code base that can be improved in execution time by orders of magnitude. We're talking seconds of wait time in production code used by tens of thousands of people daily. It's probably my number one pet peeve, wasting millions of cycles on fancy one liners. That's just my one crticism; it's not "💩" code to use manually indexed loops. It's usually the best solution.

    • @amdphenom92
      @amdphenom92 6 років тому +66

      I was wondering the same thing, it adds a lot of unnecessary looping especially if it's a big array just for syntactic sugar. If using a single function it makes a lot of sense but not if we are using map, filter and reduce all at the same time.

    • @Keno_jm

    Really good video, thanks for making it!
    A bit of my own commentary.
    Personally I'd highlight `push` on arrays morphs the original array whilst the spread syntax creates a new array, therefore the spread syntax can be significantly slower. I think use cases exist for both.
    Object assign will morph the first argument, which I don't think is made super clear.
    Although array methods like filter, reduce and map are syntaxally really clean, I have found them to be significantly slower than for loops when working with large arrays. Again I think use cases exist for both.
    Besides that really awesome vid. Thanks for sharing!

    This type of stuff is nice on front-ends and/or for non-hot parts of code, but it should be known that on the backend it's not recommended if it regards the main workload of your code. In practically every multi-paradigm language loops result in much better performance than functional programming styles (even though FP is awesome). A function call and new variable initialization is a very small performance overhead, but it adds up much quicker than you would think with code like this.

    For large JS apps:
    - The structure of your code is way more important when it comes to writing 'good' JavaScript.
    - The mentioned features are not necessarily 'best practices'. You don't need async/await if you are working with observables..
    - Styling the console output with css sounds like a terrible idea to me because debugging code should be temporary, my little picasso ;). I recommend debugging with the console like this:
    console.log('2 save item', item);
    This way, you can locate your debugging code easily and provide some meaning instead of just throwing out variables. Also you can add a number to check if your code runs in the right order (async code..).

      @@Fireship Thanks for the reply, I like your channel a lot! I did mean observables. In all our reactive applications we are using 0 promises and 0 async/awaits.

    • @LukePighetti
      @LukePighetti 6 років тому

      Point 2 isn't really a point, If you're working with observables you aren't working with promises and therefore async/await is not an option. If you're working with promises async/await is definitely best practice in 2018.

    But two small reminders
    1) loops sometimes are faster if you can do stuff in one loop rather than two one liners.
    2) If you use await improperly you pause the async function. So you might lose parallel execution chances.
    You should've put these a side note or warnings for new students :P. otherwise awesome video.

      In the example he showed (11:43) the three executions are independent of one another, meaning the 3rd async call, for example, does not rely on the results on the 1st or 2nd asyns calls.
      Using 'await' as he showed there is essentially a sequential execution, we first await the first call, then we initiate the second call and await it, then the 3rd cal... etc.
      But if the calls are independent they can (and should) be executed in parallel for better performances, this can be achieved by first initiating all calls and then awaiting all 3 promises, or better yet, by using Promise.all()

    Array methods like reduce, map and filter perform much slower than classic for loops. So keep that in mind when you have to process large arrays. For small arrays it doesn't make much difference and the code is prettier, but a classic for loop can be over 10 times quicker.

    Using a single for loop is better in terms of performance, since using separate ‘reduce’ ‘map’ and ‘filter’ will internally cause the object to be iterated thrice.
    The old for loop still exists for a reason and should not be discarded without considering the use case.

  • @Rudxain
    @Rudxain 2 роки тому

    10:00 for anyone saying that this is bad for performance, modern engines are likely to merge the 3 loops into 1. *However,* in most cases this optimization isn't done, because if any of the arrow functions has the capability of throwing an error, the engine must keep track of where and when the exception was thrown. For that and other reasons I forgot, browsers are unlikely (but can) to optimize that O(3n) loop.
    However, (again) there's 2 other performance penalties, both have to do with property access:
    1. All those array methods belong to `Array.prototype`, this means that the engine will do *3 sequential traversals* of the prototype chain. But engines already have a cache for built-in properties, and the Array prototype chain is small enough that can be considered O(3) (all method calls combined).
    2. *Built-in objects can be modified at runtime!* Even if no code modifies the methods, the dev console can be used for that purpose, so the engine has to play safe and call the global methods instead of inlining them.
    In comparison to an indexed `for loop`. There's no property access, no accessing properties of global objects that can be modified, no prototype chain traversal, easy inlining and unrolling, no cache misses, and no dependency on the Array iterator (which can also be modified at runtime).
    All of these benefits happen because `for` loops are "raw syntax". However, funnily enough, `for of` loops rely on iterators of iterable objects, which means their behavior can also be modified at runtime without `eval`! even though these loops _seem to be_ pure syntax (the same happens with spread syntax "...").
    I learned all of this while coding a library that tries to protect against EVERY external modification, for performance and security reasons. *JS is a hell for library developers LMAO*

      @DanFletcher90 6 років тому +3

      Readability is subjective though. There was a point in your career when you were first learning and most programs seemed quite cryptic. Eventually, you get used to reading code and you feel familiar with what you're used to reading day-to-day. I think when languages introduce new syntax to make our lives easier there's always a bit of resistance at first because people have to get used to seeing it. I remember when arrow functions were hard for me to read, and spread, and destructuring etc. Now I prefer to read code that makes use of those syntactic niceties. It's also pretty hard to argue that async/await is causing readability to plummet.

    • @marcadenexus
      @marcadenexus 6 років тому +1

      So is the beauty of a woman; subjective. Different per culture as well. And yet ... I think we all can agree that in general Margot Robbie is a hell of a lot more attractive than Rosie O’Donnell.
      Yes you are right, you can get used to syntax that is 'more efficient'; but readability implies code you don't *have* to go through a period to get used to syntax, to be able to understand what it does. It implies even if you don't know much about the code, you can still sort of understand what the code does. And a for() loop is much more common across languages and easier to understand than a map() function.
      It's like replacing a common word like "You" in a Harry Potter book with "1" and "Me" in with "2" ... confuses the shit when you read it, until, yes, you get used to the syntax .. and hey you've saved some ink and space!

    • @DanFletcher90
      @DanFletcher90 6 років тому +2

      "readability implies code you don't have to go through a period to get used to syntax" I don't really agree. Team standards evolve over time. There's always going to be something new to get used to. Readability in my opinion (and it's just my opinion, there's no science to this), is when you get understand what code is doing without having to think much about it. "getting used to syntax" is just an awkward period we all go through any time we're learning something new. Like a new language for example.
      Having methods on arrays/collections/lists or whatever data type is used in your language of choice is not new either. What language doesn't have `map` or the equivalent as part of its standard library or at least as part of a commonly included library? PHP, C#, JavaScript, and Python are 4 big ones that I know for sure have this. Pretty sure Java has supported lambdas for years now too hasn't it? Obviously, all of the big FP languages use this. I doubt the for loop is much more common than you think especially if we're talking about the most common languages that people actually use.
      For loops are less complicated. When comparing a simple iteration, sure, it's less verbose to just use a for loop. After that loops are way more convoluted and harder to parse. There's far too much cognitive overhead and state to hold in your head versus a map or a reduce which has no state and reads left to right like English. You don't have to jump up and down, or in and out to understand a chain of multiple maps and reducer functions.
      I think where these collection methods really shine is in situations where you would traditionally write nested loops. Learning how to map, reduce, pluck, flatten, filter, etc well pretty much means when you're doing a lot of work on a collection you'll never have to nest more than one indentation ever again. The less indentation and temporary state inside of a function the easier it is to read in my opinion.
      Imagine working with streams using loops - yuck.
