Introduction to ES6

ES6, also known as ECMAScript 2015, is the latest version of the


popular JavaScript programming language. It introduces a wealth of
new features and improvements that make JavaScript more
powerful, expressive, and easier to work with.

Let and Const

Variable Declaration Immutability Block Scoping


ES6 introduced two new Const variables are Let and const variables are
ways to declare variables: immutable - their value block-scoped, meaning
let and const. These cannot be reassigned. This they're only available within

stability.
Arrow Functions
Arrow functions, also known as fat arrow functions, are a concise
syntax for writing JavaScript functions. They provide a shorthand
way to define functions, making your code more readable and
easier to write.
One of the key benefits of arrow functions is that they
automatically bind the this keyword to the surrounding lexical
scope, eliminating the need for the common var self = this;
pattern.
Template Literals

Destructuring
Destructuring is a powerful ES6 feature that
allows you to extract values from arrays or
properties from objects and assign them to
variables in a concise way.

It saves time and makes your code more


readable by eliminating the need for
verbose variable assignments.

Destructuring can be used with arrays,


objects, function parameters, and even
nested structures.
Spread and Rest Operators

Classes
ES6 introduced classes, a new way to define
object-oriented structures in JavaScript.
Classes provide a more intuitive and
familiar syntax for creating objects, defining
inheritance, and managing complex data
models.
Classes encapsulate data and methods,
allowing for better organization and code
reuse. They support inheritance, enabling
child classes to inherit properties and
methods from parent classes.

Key class features include constructors,


instance methods, static methods, getters,
setters, and more. Classes make it easier to
build complex, scalable applications in
JavaScript.

Promises
Promises are a powerful feature in ES6 that help manage
asynchronous code. They represent the eventual completion (or
failure) of an asynchronous operation and its resulting value.

Promises provide a cleaner syntax for handling asynchronous tasks


compared to traditional callback-based approaches. They enable
you to chain multiple asynchronous operations together, making
your code more readable and maintainable.
Async/Await
Cleaner Asynchronous Code Error Handling
Async/await allows you to write Async functions return a Promise, which
