How to Livestream Code and Design on Twitch

Learn how you can use ramda.js to bring functional programming concepts into your JavaScript code. Ramda offers composability and immutability right out of the box, so you can leave your imperative code behind and build cleaner, more maintainable code.

A library designed specifically for a functional programming style, one that makes it easy to create functional pipelines, one that never mutates user data.

In this lesson we'll see how to use the `without` function to remove items in a known list from an array. Then we'll generate our exclusion list and apply it to `without` using `reduce`, `min`, `max` and `converge` to detect the highest and lowest values in an array and creating a new array that excludes those values.

Many streamers use colorful banners on their stream pages that reflect their branding. Here's how you can create and use them.

A short look at what I do before I change from my "Starting Soon" scene to my "live scene" and a brief overview of what to except from the collection

Introduction to Livestreaming

We cover some of the twitch interface and open a twitch account

We introduce OBS and compare it to SLOBS, download and set up our first scene including desktop capture and audio tips.

Introduction to OBS and creating your first scene

We cover how to get your stream key, how to use that stream key to test bandwidth and CPU usage settings, and go live on Twitch for the first time.

While there are many useful tools and toys to pull together for a livestream, the truth is you don't need any of them to start.

What gear do I need to livestream?

It's likely that you will have many streams where no one is there, or people are there and they aren't telling you they are. Does it matter?

What if nobody comes to watch my livestream?

What is a Streamdeck?

[Streamlabs](https://streamlabs.com/) has two major halves: Streamlabs OBS, which is an OBS competitor, and Streamlabs-the-SaaS, which includes tools like chatbots, polls, giveaways, and loyalty rewards.

WTF is Streamlabs?

In this lesson we'll look at how you can use Ramda's `unfold` function to generate a list of values based on an initial seed.

Functional composition is a great way to write declarative code that reads well. But sometimes, you need to get insight into what's happening at different steps in your composition. This is where `tap` comes in. With tap, we can run code that generates side-effects, like logging to the console, and our data will continue to be passed along, untouched.

Most of the functions offered by the ramda library are curried by default. Functions you've created or that you've pulled in from another library may not be curried. Ramda's `curry` and `curryN` functions allow you to take a non-curried function and use it as a curried functions. In the case where you have a manually curried function and you want to just call it like a normal function, you can use `uncurryN` to get back a function that accepts all of the arguments at once.

You can really unlock the power of ramda (and functional programming in general) when you combine functions. Counting words in a string may seem like a relatively difficult task, but ramda makes it easy by providing a `countBy` function.  This lesson walks through using the `countBy` to count words in a string.

React is one of the web’s most popular frameworks for building JavaScript applications. 

If you know what you’re doing, React can drastically simplify how you build, use, and maintain code.

Whether you’re a React newbie or you’re ready for advanced techniques, you can level-up with egghead. Explore our in-depth courses, lessons, and community resources to build more powerful applications and crack open your career.

In this lesson, we'll refactor a React component to use Ramda lenses to update our component state. We'll create a lens to focus on the property we want to target and use `over` to apply the existing state value to a utility function and we'll get back a new state that will be reflected in our rendered UI.

Using the map method of an array is a great way to create new data from an existing array in an immutable way and without writing any loops. The problem is that you need to call it on an existing array instance. In the lesson we'll see how to build our own reusable `map` utility function using manual currying and then we'll replace it with Ramda's `map`.

In this lesson, we'll use `Promise.all` to get an array that contains the resolved values from multiple promises. Then we'll see how we can use Ramda to convert that array of values into a single object using `zip` with `fromPairs`. Then we'll refactor to use `zipObj`.

Cycle.js is a framework where your app is described as a simple function taking an event stream as input and outputting an event stream.

cycle

This lesson is the first in an introduction to Cycle.js. We will see how to build from scratch a toy version of Cycle.js. See how to use RxJS to create simple web apps, and how to separate logic from effects.

Separate Logic from Effects in Cycle.js

We don't always control the data we need in our applications, and that means we often find ourselves massaging and transforming our data. In this lesson, we'll learn how to transform objects in a declarative way using ramda's evolve function.
