💡Understanding how functions interact with their surrounding lexical environment is very important when working with JavaScript, and it's really not as mysterious as it might seem at times haha. I hope this video was useful, visualizing the detailed inner workings of tools I'm working with always helps me understand concepts better. I only use Apple Keynote to create the visualizations! Implementation details might differ, this is just based on the ECMA spec. Different engines may implement smarter garbage collection strategies that mitigate issues related to retaining large scopes in closures (e.g. the fetchAllUsers example).

As a fellow software engineer, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. They're incredibly well-done, and I only wish I had access to content like this when I was first learning these concepts. Being a visual learner, I used to draw out each concept to fully grasp them. Now, I recommend your videos to the junior devs and interns on my team-they've found them incredibly helpful. If possible, it would be amazing to see a 'JavaScript Visualized - Data Structures and Algorithms' series on your channel. I’ve been reading *Grokking Algorithms: An Illustrated Guide for Programmers and Other Curious People* by Aditya Bhargava, and I couldn’t help but think how amazing it would be to see those concepts brought to life in your visual style. Keep up the great work!

Wonderful video as always! I didn't realize closures hold a reference to the entire environment record: I hoped they were a bit smarter and only held references to the variables they actually used, allowing the GC to free the rest. Good to know!

@theavocoder 3 ай бұрын

Thank you! 🙏Just to get back to this - it actually depends on the implementation though; I cover the spec, but engines can use internal optimizations to eliminate "dead" variables even in such cases. V8/Chromium does this really well so in that case the issue with `fetchAllUsers` may not actually be an issue, but it's good to realize that that's not necessarily the default in all cases 😃

I wish these had been around when I was learning, and I'd certainly recommend them to anyone who's getting to grips with JS. A lot of programming content on KZbin is very poor indeed but these videos are absolutely great! :)

First of all, amazingly explained. But, second of all, I might be wrong, but iI believe all variables not used by closures get optimized away. So I don't think you need to worry too much about large temporary variables in your closure... unless you are programming for some really old engine. I notice this frequently when using debuggers and trying to use those variable names and noticing they don't exist anymore

Is it safe to say that closure variables are copies of the original variables at the times they were executed? Multiple sources keep telling me they're "captured", and NOT copied, but I have no idea what that even means. Anyways, you've made one of the best, if not the best, JS content on KZbin. You've managed to take important JS concepts and not only explain them super in depth, but also visualize them so well for a beginner like me. Please never stop creating!

@filipbystricky7301 4 ай бұрын

"capture" is one of those vague terms so I understand the confusion! Another term people use is "closing", as in "it closes over the variables in the outer function", which is where "closure" comes from. But once again, that is a vague term that doesn't explain what's going on :) Basically a closure is an object that has a reference to the data in its surroundings (as Lydia explains, in JS this reference is called outerEnv, and its surroundings are the outer function's environment record). So to answer your question, no, the outer function's variables are not copied into the closure: instead, when the closure wants to access one of them, it does so using its outerEnv reference. You can verify this by creating multiple closures inside the same outer function: function outer() { let outerVar = 1; function increment() { outerVar++; } function log() { console.log(outerVar); } return {increment, log}; } let {increment, log} = outer(); increment(); log(); // logs 2 If the variables were copied, then "increment" and "log" would each have their own copy, so "log" would output 1 instead of 2. Hope this helps :)

Positive criticism of what is Closure the definition at 5:55 is tiny bit confusing; while the 6:12 shortened version is easier to memorize: "Closure happens whenever we have a nested function & then we keep the reference to that *inner* nested function somewhere outside of that *outer* function".

Can you make a video about the differences between normal function and arrow functions? Because somehow there a different, but I have struggle to understand it. For example the handling of "this" differs and when a function is declared in an object, it is different also. With your videos, I understand very well, how this stuff works in depth.
