Summary
This chapter focused on a variety of code refactoring techniques that are essential to maintaining and improving the structure, readability, and maintainability of your code base.
The refactoring techniques introduced include Rename Variable, which enhances code clarity by using more descriptive variable names, Extract Variable, which simplifies complex expressions by breaking them into smaller, more manageable parts, and Replace Loop with Pipeline, which transforms traditional for
/while
loops into more concise, declarative higher-order functions such as map
, filter
, and reduce
.
As well as this, Extract Function encourages code modularity and reusability by breaking down large functions into smaller ones, each with a single, well-defined responsibility, while Introduce Parameter Object groups related parameters into a single object, thereby reducing the complexity of function signatures. Plus, Decompose Conditional breaks down complex conditional logic into separate functions...
