Note for users of v4.0.0-rc.12
There were mostly bugfixes and improvements since RC 12. Upgrading should be painless for most users.
However, there is one breaking change: The behavior of merge
and mergeDeep
has changed. See below for details.
BREAKING
merge()
-
No longer use value-equality within
merge()
(#1391)This rectifies an inconsistent behavior between
x.merge(y)
andx.mergeDeep(y)
where merge would
use===
on leaf values to determine return-self optimizations, while mergeDeep would useis()
.
This improves consistency across the library and avoids a possible performance pitfall. -
No longer deeply coerce argument to merge() (#1339)
Previously, the argument provided to
merge()
was deeply converted to Immutable collections viafromJS()
.
This was the only function in the library which callsfromJS()
indirectly,
and it was surprising and made it difficult to understand what the result ofmerge()
would be.
Now, the value provided tomerge()
is only shallowly converted to an Immutable collection, similar to
related methods in the library. This may change the behavior of your calls tomerge()
.
mergeDeep()
-
Replace incompatible collections when merging nested data (#1840)
It will no longer merge lists of tuples into maps. For more information see
#1840 and the updatedmergeDeep()
documentation. -
Concat Lists when merging deeply (#1344)
Previously, calling
map.mergeDeep()
with a value containing aList
would replace the values in the
original List. This has always been confusing, and does not properly treatList
as a monoid.
Now,List.merge
is simply an alias forList.concat
, andmap.mergeDeep()
will concatenate deeply-found lists
instead of replacing them.
Seq
-
Remove IteratorSequence. Do not attempt to detect iterators in
Seq()
. (#1589)Iterables can still be provided to
Seq()
, and most Iterators are also
Iterables, so this change should not affect the vast majority of uses.
For more information, see PR #1589 -
Remove
Seq.of()
(#1311, #1310)This method has been removed since it cannot be correctly typed. It's recommended to convert
Seq.of(1, 2, 3)
toSeq([1, 2, 3])
.
isImmutable()
-
isImmutable()
now returns true for collections currently within awithMutations()
call. (#1374)Previously,
isImmutable()
did double-duty of both determining if a value was a Collection or Record
from this library as well as if it was outside awithMutations()
call.
This latter case caused confusion and was rarely used.
toArray()
-
KeyedCollection.toArray() returns array of tuples. (#1340)
Previously, calling
toArray()
on a keyed collection (inclMap
andOrderedMap
) would
discard keys and return an Array of values. This has always been confusing, and differs fromArray.from()
.
Now, callingtoArray()
on a keyed collection will return an Array of[key, value]
tuples, matching
the behavior ofArray.from()
.
concat()
-
list.concat()
now has a slightly more efficient implementation andmap.concat()
is an alias formap.merge()
. (#1373)In rare cases, this may affect use of
map.concat()
which expected slightly different behavior frommap.merge()
.
Collection, formerly Iterable
- The
Iterable
class has been renamed toCollection
, andisIterable()
has been renamed toisCollection()
.
Aliases with the existing names exist to make transitioning code easier.
Record
- Record is no longer an Immutable Collection type.
- Now
isCollection(myRecord)
returnsfalse
instead oftrue
. - The sequence API (such as
map
,filter
,forEach
) no longer exist on Records. delete()
andclear()
no longer exist on Records.
- Now
Other breaking changes
-
Potentially Breaking: Improve hash speed and avoid collision for common values (#1629)
Causes some hash values to change, which could impact the order of iteration of values in some Maps
(which are already advertised as unordered, but highlighting just to be safe) -
Node buffers no longer considered value-equal (#1437)
-
Plain Objects and Arrays are no longer considered opaque values (#1369)
This changes the behavior of a few common methods with respect to plain Objects and Arrays where these were
previously considered opaque tomerge()
andsetIn()
, they now are treated as collections and can be merged
into and updated (persistently). This offers an exciting alternative to small Lists and Records. -
The "predicate" functions,
isCollection
,isKeyed
,isIndexed
,isAssociative
have been moved fromIterable.
to the top level exports. -
The
toJSON()
method performs a shallow conversion (previously it was an alias fortoJS()
, which remains a deep conversion). -
Some minor implementation details have changed, which may require updates to libraries which deeply integrate with Immutable.js's private APIs.
-
The Cursor API is officially deprecated. Use immutable-cursor instead.
-
Potentially Breaking: [TypeScript] Remove
Iterable<T>
as tuple from Map constructor types (#1626)Typescript allowed constructing a Map with a list of List instances, assuming each was a key, value pair.
While this runtime behavior still works, this type led to more issues than it solved, so it has been removed.
(Note, this may break previous v4 rcs, but is not a change against v3)
Full Changelog: v3.8.1...v4.0.0
New
- Update TypeScript and Flow definitions:
- The Flowtype and TypeScript type definitions have been completely rewritten with much higher quality and accuracy,
taking advantage of the latest features from both tools. - Simplified TypeScript definition files to support all UMD use cases (#1854)
- Support Typescript 3 (#1593)
- Support Typescript strictNullChecks (#1168)
- Flow types to be compatible with the latest version 0.160.0
- Enable flow strict (#1580)
- The Flowtype and TypeScript type definitions have been completely rewritten with much higher quality and accuracy,
-
Add "sideEffects: false" to package.json (#1661)
-
Use ES standard for iterator method reuse (#1867)
-
Generalize
fromJS()
andSeq()
to support Sets (#1865) -
Top level predicate functions (#1600)
New functions are exported from the
immutable
module:
isSeq()
,isList()
,isMap()
,isOrderedMap()
,isStack()
,isSet()
,isOrderedSet()
, andisRecord()
. -
Improve performance of toJS (#1581)
Cursory test is >10% faster than both v3.8.2 and v4.0.0-rc.7,
and corrects the regression since v4.0.0-rc.9. -
Added optional
notSetValue
infirst()
andlast()
(#1556) -
Make
isArrayLike
check more precise to avoid false positives (#1520) -
map()
for List, Map, and Set returns itself for no-ops (#1455) (5726bd1) -

Warn instead of throw when
getIn()

A new predicate function
isValueObject()

and type definitions now define the interfaceValueObject
which you can implement in your own code to create objects which
behave as values and can be keys in Maps or entries in Sets. -
Using
fromJS()
with a "reviver" function now provides access to the key path to each translated value. (#1118)
