[Redux] Avoiding Array Mutations with concat(), slice(), and ...spread

For Redux, you cannot use mutable methods like push, splice. Need to use immutable methods such as concat, slice and ...spread

push() vs concat()

push: modify the array;

concat: return a new array;

console.clear();
const addCounter = (list)=>{
  list.push(0);
  return list;
}

const testAddCounter = ()=>{
  const beforeList = [];
  const afterList = [0];
  
  deepFreeze(beforeList);
  
  expect(
    addCounter(beforeList)
  ).toEqual(afterList);
}

testAddCounter();
console.log("All tests passing..");

/**
"error"
"TypeError: Can't add property 0, object is not extensible
    at addCounter (fegewebemu.js:5:8)
    at testAddCounter (fegewebemu.js:15:10)
    at fegewebemu.js:18:1"
*/

console.clear();
const addCounter = (list)=>{
  let res = list.concat(0);
  return res;
}

const testAddCounter = ()=>{
  const beforeList = [];
  const afterList = [0];
  
  deepFreeze(beforeList);
  
  expect(
    addCounter(beforeList)
  ).toEqual(afterList);
}

testAddCounter();
console.log("All tests passing..");  // passing

 

Using ...spread:

console.clear();
const addCounter = (list)=>{
  return [...list, 0];
}

const testAddCounter = ()=>{
  const beforeList = [];
  const afterList = [0];
  
  deepFreeze(beforeList);
  
  expect(
    addCounter(beforeList)
  ).toEqual(afterList);
}

testAddCounter();
console.log("All tests passing.."); // Passing

 

splice() vs slice()

splice: modfiy array;

slices: return new array;

console.clear();
const removeCounter= (list, index)=>{
   list.splice(index, 1);
  return list;
}

const testRemoveCounter = ()=>{
  const beforeList = [0 ,10,20];
  const afterList = [0, 20];
  
  deepFreeze(beforeList);
  
  expect(
    removeCounter(beforeList, 1)
  ).toEqual(afterList);
}
testRemoveCounter();
console.log("All tests passing.."); 

/**
"error"
"TypeError: Cannot add/remove sealed array elements
    at removeCounter (fegewebemu.js:5:8)
    at testRemoveCounter (fegewebemu.js:15:10)
    at fegewebemu.js:17:1"
*/


console.clear();
const removeCounter= (list, index)=>{
  return list.slice(0, index)
  .concat(list.slice(index+1));
}

const testRemoveCounter = ()=>{
  const beforeList = [0 ,10,20];
  const afterList = [0, 20];
  
  deepFreeze(beforeList);
  
  expect(
    removeCounter(beforeList, 1)
  ).toEqual(afterList);
}
testRemoveCounter();
console.log("All tests passing.."); // Passing

 

ES6:

console.clear();
const removeCounter= (list, index)=>{
  
  return [
    ...list.slice(0, index),
    ....list.slice(index + 1)
  ];
}

const testRemoveCounter = ()=>{
  const beforeList = [0 ,10,20];
  const afterList = [0, 20];
  
  deepFreeze(beforeList);
  
  expect(
    removeCounter(beforeList, 1)
  ).toEqual(afterList);
}
testRemoveCounter();
console.log("All tests passing.."); // Passing

 

 

Modify one element in array:

console.clear();
const incrementCounter = (list, index) => {
   list[index]++;
  
  return list;
};

const testIncrementCounter = ()=>{
  const beforeList = [0 ,10,20];
  const afterList = [0, 11, 20];
  
  deepFreeze(beforeList);
  
  expect(
    incrementCounter(beforeList, 1)
  ).toEqual(afterList);
}
testIncrementCounter();
console.log("All tests passing..");
/**
"error"
"Error: Expected [ 0, 10, 20 ] to equal [ 0, 11, 20 ]
    at Object.assert [as default] (https://wzrd.in/standalone/expect@latest:489:9)
    at Expectation.toEqual (https://wzrd.in/standalone/expect@latest:70:26)
    at testIncrementCounter (fegewebemu.js:16:43)
    at fegewebemu.js:18:1"
*/


console.clear();
const incrementCounter = (list, index) => {
   let res = list.slice(0, index)
     .concat(++list[index])
     .concat(list.slice(index+1));
  
  return res;
};

const testIncrementCounter = ()=>{
  const beforeList = [0 ,10,20];
  const afterList = [0, 11, 20];
  
  deepFreeze(beforeList);
  
  expect(
    incrementCounter(beforeList, 1)
  ).toEqual(afterList);
}
testIncrementCounter();
console.log("All tests passing.."); // Passing

 

ES6:

console.clear();
const incrementCounter = (list, index) => {
   return [
     ...list.slice(0, index),
     ++list[index],
     ...list.slice(index+1)
   ];
};

const testIncrementCounter = ()=>{
  const beforeList = [0 ,10,20];
  const afterList = [0, 11, 20];
  
  deepFreeze(beforeList);
  
  expect(
    incrementCounter(beforeList, 1)
  ).toEqual(afterList);
}
testIncrementCounter();
console.log("All tests passing.."); // Passing
