Immutable JS

Data structures should be thought of as EITHER plain JavaScript OR Immutable.

Operations on an Immutable object return the result of the operation.

Operations on an Immutable object do not change the object itself, but instead create a new object.

Advantages- Get a nested value without checking it exists

Chaining operations like push

Modifying an object doesn’t change the original data, it returns a new object

first - get value of first key in map
last - get value of last key in map
has - check if map contains a key
hasIn - check if map has nested key
includes - check for nested value
