+# Immutability in JavaScript
+
+ReactCasts, episode 9.
+
+In this episode I'll talk about why immutability is important and how it can benefit you. I will draw some comparisons between JavaScript (which doesn't treat data as immutable by default) and programming languages that have immutability built in. Finally, I will show how to make immutable operations in plain Javascript. 
+
+Screencast video:

+
+# Outline
+
+- What is Immutability and why it's important.
+- JavaScript non-destructive Array methods
+- Spread Operator
+- External Libraries
+
+

+
+// There are a few non-destructive methods available for arrays.
+// One example is slice. It returns a piece of a given Array
+// without modifiyng the original one.
+
+console.log(houses.slice(0, 4)); // ['Arryn', 'Frey', 'Greyjoy', 'Stark']
+
+console.log(houses); // ['Arryn', 'Frey', 'Greyjoy', 'Stark', 'Lannister', 'Tyrell']
+
+
+
+// Besides slice, there are other and useful array methods 
+// such as filter, map and reduce that also returns new arrays 
+// instead of modifying the original one.
+
+const direwolves = [
+  { name: 'Ghost', alive: true },
+  { name: 'Nymeria', alive: true },
+  { name: 'Lady', alive: false },
+  { name: 'Grey Wind', alive: false },
+  { name: 'Shaggydog', alive: false },
+  { name: 'Summer', alive: false }
+]
+
+const wolves = direwolves.filter(wolf => wolf.alive)
+
+console.log(direwolves); //Full Array
+console.log(wolves); // [{name:'Ghost', alive: true},{name:'Nymeria', alive:true}]
+
+
+
+// Javascript ES6 introduces a new operator called the spread operator.
+// The Spread operator provides an easy way to create a new array
+// by copying values from another array.
+
+const completeHouses = [...houses, 'Targaryen'];
+console.log(houses) //        ['Arryn','Frey','Greyjoy','Stark','Lannister','Tyrell']
+console.log(completeHouses) //['Arryn','Frey','Greyjoy','Stark','Lannister','Tyrell','Targaryen']
+
+// There is a proposal for object spread syntax for the next version
+// of the JS language, and you can use it right now with Babel.
+
+const state = {
+  name: 'Jon Snow',
+  occupation: 'Lord Commander',
+  skills: [] // knows nothing...
+}
+
+// Now, using the spread operator I will copy the original state objects keys
+// and values, while at the same changing the occupation value.
+
+const newState = { ...state, occupation: 'King in the North' };
+console.log(newState);
+// {name:'Jon Snow', occupation:'King in the North', skills:[]}
+console.log(state);
+// {name:'Jon Snow', occupation:'Lord Commander', skills:[]}
+
+
+// The spread operator makes shallow copies, which means 
+// it only goes one level deep while copying.
+// If you want to update the array, you will need to make it
+// in an immutable fashion as well:
+
+newState.skills = [...state.skills, 'fighting'];
+console.log(newState);
+// {name:'Jon Snow', occupation:'King in the North', skills:[fighting]}
+console.log(state);
+// {name:'Jon Snow', occupation:'Lord Commander', skills:[]}
