Functional programming (FP) has gained popularity for its composability, testability, and robustness.
This article explores fp-ts concepts like Option, Either, Task, Reader, and ReaderTaskEither.
We’ll build a basic CRUD app using fp-ts, pg (PostgreSQL client), and Express.js to see how these abstractions shine in real-world applications.
Setup TypeScript, Project Structure, Database Setup, Defining Models and Validation, Custom Error Handling, Service Layer, CRUD Operations and Express API have been implemented to build the CRUD app.
Containerization using Docker and Docker Compose and Writing tests using Jest have also been demonstrated.
Using functional programming patterns makes your code more predictable and reliable, especially when handling asynchronous workflows.
