// Modern ES2025+ Example
const optimizedFunction = async () => {
try {
const result = await fetchData();
return result.filter(item => item.status === 'active');
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error:', error.message);
}
};
ES2025+ Essentials
Master modern JavaScript by leveraging ES2025+ features like
- async/await - Clean asynchronous operations
- Object Destructuring - Simplify data extraction
- Modules - Tree-shakable import/export
- Optional Chaining - Safe property access
Combine these features with performance optimization techniques like:
- Lazy loading for large modules
- Caching patterns with Memoization
- Code splitting for better chunk size
- Web Workers for CPU-intensive tasks
Framework Agnosticism
Write vanilla JavaScript code that integrates seamlessly with any framework. Focus on:
Pure Functions
Functions that return consistent results without side effects
Modular Architecture
Loose coupling and high cohesion between components
Reusability
Create generic utilities reusable across projects
Performance
Optimize critical paths and memory usage
Performance Optimization
CPU Optimization
- • Web Workers for offloading computation
- • RequestIdleCallback for background tasks
- • Memory profiling with Chrome DevTools
Network Optimization
- • Lazy loading non-critical assets
- • HTTP/3 support for reduced latency
- • Brotli compression for smaller payloads
