Exploring how Singleton, Factory, Builder, and Prototype patterns have evolved in TypeScript. Learn when ES modules replace singletons, when factory functions beat classes, and how TypeScript's type system changes the game.
Exploring how Decorator, Adapter, Facade, Composite, and Proxy patterns evolved in React and TypeScript. Learn when HOCs give way to hooks, how adapters isolate third-party APIs, and when facades simplify complexity.
Exploring how Observer, Strategy, Command, State, and Mediator patterns have evolved with RxJS, Redux, XState, and modern reactive programming paradigms in TypeScript.
Exploring modern patterns that emerged from JavaScript and TypeScript ecosystems - hooks, compound components, render props, and repository patterns that solve problems the GoF never encountered.
