I'm a junior dev, and I was wondering why you choose map as the state data structure instead of a set, because you're not keeping the state checked per id, you're only keeping the ones that are checked. And even if you kept all ids and just toggled between true or false, in this context it still makes more sense to me to use a set.
@profydev
@profydev Ай бұрын
Yes you’re right. Iirc I changed the code to use a set after recording this video. You can check the blog post for that implementation. That’s the advantage of a blog post: you can’t just adjust the video but the blog is easy 🙂

Mapping is unnecessary all together and you can manage the entirety of this component using a single state. Anyone else also hate the fact that they don’t separate the styling from the implementation of the functional component? You can style elements based on the state of an input in css..

I'm not a junior dev anymore, but thank you for this insightful video. Personally, when I am preoccupied with the development or maintenance of a project, I sometimes form some bad habits, like lack of proper error handling in some logical cases, because the project needs to be developed quickly and I slack off while chasing the fast paced development of features. These types of videos really bring me back into reality and make me realize some of my newly acquired deficiencies in React.

A thought on the data structure you chose. A map works well. Whenever I see a map where the value is a Boolean, I ask myself if a Set would work instead. In this case, I think what you really want is a Set.

For the first issue: Pasing an object as a parameter to fill can cause another major issue that all the object have the same reference. Here is an example: let arr = Array(5).fill({a:1,b:2}); arr[1].a = 6; //This will cause all a to be 6 for "all" the objects in the array

I gotta say.. your tone and presentation is super monotonous, but the value of what you say and explain is great. Well done I agree with all you said. One thing about the Map though. Personally I dislike using Maps on very big data arrays, and simply revert to arrays + writing helper functions for search and filtering but a Map is much more readable and "easier" to use

Hello, as your map of completed issues only ever has a value of true, was the only reason you used a map instead of an array/set here so the lookup could be faster when checking if the issue is completed or not? A set of IDs seems to make more sense imo Thanks

AFAIK looking up in a map has a constant access time due to it being stored as a hashtable behind the scenes. Meaning it will be the same access time no matte how many elements will be in that list.

I encountered this very same problem (diff example but same premise) and I tried to use a Set with redux toolkit, didn't want to work for some reasonso I had to resort to a dictionary/json where the keys mapped to any value (1, true, null, didn't matter). Then I replaced redux with zustand and it let me... how odd.

This was very insightful. As a junior dev I learned a lot. Most importantly is that I really have to start using the new Map instead of just objects and I actually didn't know about the ".size" property. does it work with "regular" objects? Last question is a bit longer but since you touched on that subject I'll allow myself to ask that: I have an app in which I have a sidebar with buttons which run functions (ofc) and one of those uses the text in the main layout. In that case, using a ref felt like bad practice since I would have to either forward it through many cmps, store it in the global store or use context instead of just accessing it directly... what is your take on that? Thanks! :)
@profydev
@profydev Жыл бұрын
Thanks a lot for the feedback. You only have the size on Map and Set not on regular objects. Regarding the shared text: not sure but this might be a good case for using context. Maybe there's also an alternative way of structuring the app that's more efficient. Hard to say. If you want me to do a similar review feel free to send me the code at review@profy.dev

array is way faster then a map in this example. only in huge list it would make a difference that's not common to load all on the client side. a small array like this is even faster if you have to loop through it a few times then the overhead of having function for the map. but dont worry a lot of junior devs make that mistake

One question , the thing where you replace the for loop for counting elements that have the status open with a filtered array ( arr.filter().length ) just to have it just "pretty" impact the memory usage ? U don't just iterate thought the the array that you have , u create a new array so , allocating more memory .Maybe a middle ground can be a reducer :D

Very helpful review. Thanks for sharing Although I'm still not able to understand one thing In the first line of handleOnChange method you doing this const updatedCheckedById = new Set(checkedById); (I have taken this from your blogpost , in the video it is Map) How come this update the previous Set and if so the next if check should return true, but surprisingly it is returning false Can you share some thought here Apologise for my lack of knowledge in advanced
@profydev
@profydev Жыл бұрын
I'm not sure if I get the problem right. But let me try to explain: 1. Initially checkedById is an empty set 2. new Set(checkedById) just clones the current set. The goal is to create a new reference so we can use it to update the state (as React state has to be immutable) 3. The first if uses updatedCheckedById.has(id). Since checkedById is initially empty so is updatedCheckedById. So .has(id) returns false. 4. If an item is already selected its id is included in the set. Then .has(id) returns true and the id is removed from the set. The result is that the item is unselected. Does that make sense?

a note on Map and Set Javascript structures. with Node.js it's fine to use them, but avoid using them on v8 (browser). V8 uses a ton of optimization techniques, specifically for basic array and objects that cannot be done for Map and Set's. to be even more specific, Map and Set cannot be cached as effectively and thus become slower than if it was otherwise implemented with a basic object or array. I'm not 100% sure if this is still the case but it was when this video came out.

The double exclamation operator is to forcibly cast a boolean value in a variable. let something = "Test"; console.log(typeof something); // string let otherthing = !!something; console.log(typeof otherthing); // boolean So basically, the !! in the disabled attribute forces the assigned variable to act as a boolean value. It's for type safety.

I understand the convention that methods returning booleans should begin with `is`, since the assumption is that the method's object is the noun part of the clause. However, free variables are also nouns, not actions. I cannot help but feel that this convention being carried over to variables is a consequence of dogma, rather than usefulness. "IsIssueOpen" is a question, not a statement. "If is issue open" is not good English. Does anyone have an argument to counter this?
