Good code is like a love letter to the next developer who will maintain it!
Design patterns provide a common vocabulary to structure code, making it easier to
understand. They help enhance the quality of this connection to other developers.
Knowledge of design patterns helps us identify recurring themes in requirements
and map them to definitive solutions. We can rely on the experience of others who
have encountered a similar problem and devised an optimized method to address it.
This knowledge is invaluable as it paves the way for writing or refactoring code to
make it maintainable.
Whether on the server or client, JavaScript is a cornerstone of modern web
application development. The previous edition of this book focused on several
popular design patterns in the JavaScript context. Over the years, JavaScript has
significantly evolved as a language in terms of features and syntax. It now supports
modules, classes, arrow functions, and template literals that were not there earlier.
We also have advanced JavaScript libraries and frameworks that have made life easy
for many web developers. How relevant, then, are Design Patterns in the modern
JavaScript context?
It’s important to note that traditionally design patterns are neither prescriptive nor
language specific. You can apply them when you think they fit, but you don’t have
to. Like data structures or algorithms, you can still apply classic design patterns
using modern programming languages, including JavaScript. You may not need
some of these design patterns in modern frameworks or libraries where they are
already abstracted. Conversely, the use of specific patterns may even be encouraged
by some frameworks.
In this edition, we are taking a pragmatic approach to patterns. We will explore why
specific patterns may be the right fit for implementing certain features and if a
pattern it is still recommended in the modern JavaScript context.
As applications got more interactive, requiring a large amount of JavaScript, the
language came under constant criticism for its negative impact on performance.
Developers are continuously looking for new patterns that can optimize JavaScript
performance. This edition highlights such improvements wherever relevant. We will
also discuss framework-specific patterns such as React Hooks and Higher Order
Components that have become increasingly popular in the age of React.js.
Going back a step, let us start by exploring the history and importance of design
patterns. If you are already familiar with this history, feel free to skip to “What Is a
Pattern?” to continue reading.
What Is a Pattern?
A pattern is a reusable solution template that you can apply to recurring problems
and themes in software design. Similar to other programming languages, when
building a JavaScript web application, you can use the template to structure your
JavaScript code in different situations where you think it will help.
Learning and using Design patterns is mainly advantageous for developers because:
Patterns are proven solutions.
They are the result of the combined experience and insights of developers
who helped define them. They are time-tested approaches known to work
when solving specific issues in software development.
Some patterns can decrease the overall code file-size footprint by avoiding
repetition.
Design patterns encourage developers to look more closely at their
solutions for areas where they can achieve instant reductions in
duplication. For example, you can reduce the number of functions
performing similar processes in favor of a single generalized function to
decrease the size of your codebase. This is also known as making code
more dry.
Patterns add to a developer’s vocabulary, which makes communication faster.
Developers can reference the pattern when communicating with their
team, discussing it in the design patterns community, or indirectly when
another developer later maintains the code.
NOTE
Patterns are not exact solutions. The role of a pattern is merely to provide us with a solution
scheme. Patterns don’t solve all design problems nor replace good software designers. You still need
sound designers to choose the correct patterns that can enhance the overall design.
From the moment a new pattern is proposed to its potential widespread adoption, a
pattern may have to go through multiple rounds of deep inspection by the design
community and software developers. This chapter talks about this journey of a
newly introduced “Proto-Pattern” through a “pattern”-ity test till it is eventually
recognized as a pattern if it meets the Rule of Three.
This and the next chapter explore the approach to structuring, writing, presenting,
and reviewing nascent design patterns. If you’d prefer to learn established design
patterns first, you can skip these two chapters for the time being.
Describes a relationship.
In some cases, it may appear that a pattern describes a type of module.
Despite what the implementation looks like, the official description of the
pattern must describe much deeper system structures and mechanisms
that explain its relationship to code.
We would be forgiven for thinking that a proto-pattern that fails to meet guidelines
isn’t worth learning from; however, this is far from the truth. Many proto-patterns
are actually quite good. I am not saying that all proto-patterns are worth looking at,
but there are quite a few useful ones in the wild that could assist us with future
projects. Use your best judgment with the above list in mind, and you’ll be fine in
your selection process.
Rule of Three
One of the additional requirements for a pattern to be valid is that they display
some recurring phenomenon. You can often qualify this in at least three key areas,
referred to as the rule of three. To show recurrence using this rule, one must
demonstrate:
Fitness of purpose
How is the pattern considered successful?
Usefulness
Why is the pattern considered successful?
Applicability
Is the design worthy of being a pattern because it has broader
applicability? If so, this needs to be explained. When reviewing or defining
a pattern, it is vital to keep the above in mind.
Summary
This chapter has shown how every proposed proto-pattern may not always be
accepted as a pattern. The next chapter shares the essential elements and best
practices for structuring and documenting patterns so the community can easily
understand and consume them.
Chapter 3. Structuring and Writing
Patterns
The success of a new idea depends on its utility and also on how you present it to
those it is trying to help. For developers to understand and adopt a design pattern,
it should be presented with relevant information about the context, circumstances,
prerequisites, and significant examples. This chapter applies to those trying to
understand a specific pattern and those trying to introduce a new one as it provides
essential information on how patterns are structured and written.
A context
A system of forces that arises in that context
A configuration that allows these forces to resolve themselves in
context
With this in mind, let‘s now summarize the component elements for a design
pattern. A design pattern should have the following, with the first five elements
being the most important:
Pattern name
A unique name representative of the purpose of the pattern
Description
A brief description of what the pattern helps achieve.
Context outline
The contexts in which the pattern effectively responds to its users’ needs.
Problem statement
A statement of the problem addressed so that we understand the pattern’s
intent.
Solution
A description of how the user’s problem is solved in an understandable list
of steps and perceptions.
Design
A description of the pattern’s design and, in particular, the user’s behavior
in interacting with it.
Implementation
A guide to how developers would implement the pattern.
Illustrations
Visual representations of classes in the pattern (e.g., a diagram).
Examples
Implementations of the pattern in a minimal form.
Corequisites
What other patterns may be needed to support the use of the pattern
being described?
Relations
What patterns does this pattern resemble? Does it closely mimic any
others?
Known usage
Is the pattern being used in the wild? If so, where and how?
Discussions
The team or author’s thoughts on the exciting benefits of the pattern.
TIP
Solutions in which neither interactions nor defined rules appear are not patterns.
Although patterns may have a high initial cost in the planning and write-up phases,
the value returned from that investment can be worth it. Patterns are valuable
because they help to get all the developers in an organization or team on the same
page when creating or maintaining solutions. If you are considering working on a
pattern of your own, research beforehand, as you may find it more beneficial to use
or extend existing, proven patterns rather than starting afresh.
Writing a pattern
If you are trying to develop a design pattern yourself, I recommend learning from
others who have already been through the process and done it well. Spend time
absorbing the information from several different design pattern descriptions and
take in what’s meaningful to you. Explore structure and semantics—you can do this

Minun mielestäni haihtui sillä hetkellä kaikki muu ja ääretön ilo
valahti minun ylitseni.
Kuistin ovi oli jäänyt auki ja taivas oli kirkkaassa tähdessä silloin…
Jos jään tänne, saatan sinulle ainaisen häpeän — sanoi hän silloin.
— Kerran se kumminkin tulee kaupunkilaisten tiedoksi, että sinä olet
minua täällä säilyttänyt. Lähden itse ilmoittautumaan valkoisille.
*****
Lupaa minulle, ett'et itke, vaan kestät toivossa, kunnes tämä kaikki
on ohi — sanoi Lauri, — vielä kerran on meidän aikamme tuleva,
sinun ja minun, — puheli hän, silmissään valoisa tulevaisuuden usko
ja luottamus vastaiseen onneen, — mutta toista minä aavistelin.
Hän meni ja minä seurasin häntä silmilläni niin kauvan kuin voin ja
kun hän oli kadonnut näkyvistäni, sulkeuduin huoneeseeni, peitin
akkunani, enkä sallinut kenenkään nähdä suruani. — Siitä asti
olenkin karttanut päivän valoa ja ihmisten seuraa ja odottanut vaan
yön tuloa, hiljaisuuden ja hämärän, jolloin saan olla suruni kanssa
kahden.
»Oma Helvini.
Olen niin iloinen siitä, että luotit minuun vielä, että pidit minua
ihmisenä, vaikka olinkin — punakaartilainen.
*****
— Armi, niinkö sinäkin luulet, — voi kuinka minä odotan sitä aikaa!
— sanoi Helvi ja katsoi ystäväänsä, silmissään hillitty riemu.
Syyttömät.
— Tuomio tuli.
— Ihan!
— Kaikkiko?
— Ihan varmaan!
Opettaja miettii.
— Tunnetteko hänet?
*****
— Tuli sitä.
Pataljoonan päällikkö.
Samaisen »länsipään» asukkaita oli myös pataljoonan päällikkö,
johon kerran pyysin saada tutustua.

— Mikäs siinä, meneehän se, nyt varsinkin kun saan ottaa osaa
töihin, onhan ajankulua, kun saa jotain näperrellä. Ei se kruunu
töillään tapa, jollei ruuillaankaan repäse, nälkä vähän tahtoo tulla
näillä annoksilla, minä olen aina tottunut niin riskisti syömään.
— Terve kuin pukki ja ihme kyllä, että olen yhä vielä elossa, vaikka
niin moneen kertaan on jo uhattu ottaa henki. Ampua uhkasivat
toverit, kuolemantuomion julistivat minulle valkosetkin ja, — tässä
sitä yhä vaan ollaan. Tottapa se kuolemakaan ei tule, ennenkuin on
aikansa tullut.
*****
— Vai ei, — minkäs minä sille mahdan, ei minulla ole tämän asian
kanssa mitään tekemistä.
— Ja minun…
*****
— Onkos tämä mikään Viipurin tie? Sinä perkele olet meitä taas
nokasta vetänyt, — kovenivat miehet minulle, kun oltiin tultu Toijalan
asemalle.
— Ei pelätä, ei!
— Olkoon päätetty!
*****
— Vai täältä! Me olemme tehneet työtä yöt päivät, ihan tässä tulee
hulluksi ihminen!
— Se on helvetinmoinen vale!
— Ne otettiin jo Tampereella.
— Et sinä niitä tänne asti saa, vaikka kyllä koetit tietä avata.
— Eipä ei.
— Täällähän sitä.
