-  ## Stateful Pipes
+  ## Pipes and Change Detection
+  Angular looks for changes to data-bound values through a *change detection* process that runs after every JavaScript event:
+  every keystroke, mouse move, timer tick, and server response. It could be expensive. 
+  Angular strives to lower the cost whenever possible and appropriate. 
+  
+  Angular picks a simpler, faster change detection algorithm when we use a pipe. Let's see how.
+  
+  ### No pipe 
+  The component in our next example uses the default, aggressive change detection strategy to monitor and update
+  its display of every hero in the `heroes` array. Here's the template:
++makeExample('pipes/ts/app/flying-heroes.component.html', 'template-1', 'app/flying-heroes.component.html (v1)')(format='.')

+  The companion component class provides heroes, pushes new heroes into the array, and can reset the array.

+:marked
+  We can add a new hero and Angular updates the display when we do. 
+  The `reset` button replaces `heroes` with a new array of the original heroes and Angular updates the display when we do. 
+  If we added the ability to remove or change a hero, Angular would detect those changes too and update the display again.
+  add or remove heroes. It updates the display when we modify a hero.
 
-  There are two categories of pipes, stateless and stateful.
+  ### Flying Heroes pipe 
+  Let's add a `FlyingHeroesPipe` to the `*ngFor` repeater that filters the list of heroes to just those heroes who can fly.
++makeExample('pipes/ts/app/flying-heroes.component.html', 'template-flying-heroes', 'app/flying-heroes.component.html (flyers)')(format='.')
+:marked
+  Here's the `FlyingHeroesPipe` implementation which follows the pattern for custom pipes we saw earlier.
++makeExample('pipes/ts/app/flying-heroes.pipe.ts', 'pure', 'app/flying-heroes.pipe.ts')(format='.')
 
-  Stateless pipes are pure functions that flow input data
-  through without remembering anything or causing detectable side-effects.
+:marked
+  When we run the sample now we see odd behavior (try it in the [live example](/resources/live-examples/pipes/ts/plnkr.html)).
+  Every hero we add is a flying hero but none of them are displayed. 
+  
+  Although we're not getting the behavior we want, Angular isn't broken. 
+  It's just using a different change detection algorithm &mdash; one that ignores changes to the list or any of its items.
+  
+  Look at how we're adding a new hero:
++makeExample('pipes/ts/app/flying-heroes.component.ts', 'push')(format='.')
+:marked
+  We're pushing the new hero into the `heroes` array.  The object reference to the array hasn't changed. 
+  It's the same array. That's all Angular cares about. From its perspective, *same array, no change, no display update*.
+  
+  We can fix that. Let's use `concat` to create a new array with the new hero appended and assign that to `heroes`.
+  This time Angular detects that the array object reference has changed. 
+  It executes the pipe and updates the display with the new array which includes the new flying hero.
+  
+  *If we **mutate** the array, no pipe and no display update; 
+  if we **replace** the array, the pipe executes and the display updates*. 
 
-  Most pipes are stateless. The `DatePipe` in our first example is a stateless pipe. So is our custom `ExponentialStrengthPipe`.
+  The *Flying Heroes* in the [live example](/resources/live-examples/pipes/ts/plnkr.html) extends the
+  code with checkbox switches and additional displays to help us experience these effects.
+figure.image-display
+    img(src='/resources/images/devguide/pipes/flying-heroes-anim.gif' alt="Flying Heroes")
 
-  Stateful pipes are conceptually similar to classes in object-oriented programming. They can manage the data they transform. A pipe that creates an HTTP request, stores the response and displays the output, is a stateful pipe.
-  Pipes that retrieve or request data should be used cautiously, since working with network data tends to introduce error conditions that are better handled in JavaScript than in a template.
-  We can mitigate this risk by creating a custom pipe for a particular backend and bake-in the essential error-handling.
+:marked
+  Replacing the array is an efficient way to signal to Angular that it should update the display.
+  When do we replace the array? When the data change.
+  
+  That's an easy rule to follow in *this toy* example
+  where the only way to change the data is by adding a new hero.
+  
+  More often we don't know when the data have changed, 
+  especially in applications that mutate data in many ways, 
+  perhaps in application locations far away.
+  A component is such an application usually can't know about those changes.
+  
+  Moreover, it's unwise to distort our component design to accommodate a pipe.
+  We strive as much as possible to keep the component class independent of the HTML.
+  The component should be unaware of pipes.
+  
+  Perhaps we should consider a different kind of pipe for filtering flying heroes, an *impure pipe*.

+  ## Pure and Impure Pipes
 
+  There are two categories of pipes: **pure** and **impure**.
+  
+  Pipes are pure by default.  Every pipe we've seen so far has been pure.
+   
+  We make a pipe impure by setting its pure flag to false. We could make the `FlyingHeroesPipe`
+  impure with a flip of the switch:
+  
++makeExample('pipes/ts/app/flying-heroes.pipe.ts', 'pipe-decorator')(format='.')
+:marked
+  Before we do that, let's understand the difference between *pure* and *impure*, starting with a *pure* pipe.
+  
+  ### Pure pipes
+  
+  Angular executes a *pure pipe* only when it detects a *pure change* to the input value.
+  
+  A *pure change* is *either* a change to a primitive input value (`String`, `Number`, `Boolean`, `Symbol`) 
+  *or* a changed object reference (`Date`, `Array`, `Function`, `Object`). 
+  
+  Angular ignores changes *within* the object itself. 
+  It won't call a pure pipe if we change the input month, add to the input array, or update an input object property.
+
+  This may seem restrictive but is is also fast. 
+  An object reference check is fast ... much faster than a deep check for differences.
+  ... so Angular can quickly determine if it can skip both the pipe execution and a screen update.
+  
+  For this reason, we prefer a pure pipe if we can live with the change detection strategy.
+  When we can't, we *may* turn to the impure pipe.
+  
+.l-sub-section
+  :marked
+    Or we might not use a pipe at all. 
+    It may be better to pursue the pipe's purpose with a property of the component,
+    a point we take up later.
+:marked
+  ### Impure pipes
+  Angular executes an *impure pipe*  during *every* component change detection cycle. 
+  An impure pipe will be called a lot, as often as every keystroke or mouse-move.
+  
+  If follows that we must implement an impure pipe with great care. 
+  An expensive, long-running pipe could destroy the user experience.
+  
+  <a id="impure-flying-heroes"></a>
+  ### An impure *FlyingHeroesPipe*
+  
+  A flip of the switch turns our `FlyingHeroesPipe` into a `FlyingHeroesImpurePipe`.
+  Here's the complete implementation:
++makeTabs(
+  'pipes/ts/app/flying-heroes.pipe.ts, pipes/ts/app/flying-heroes.pipe.ts', 
+  'impure, pure',
+  'FlyingHeroesImpurePipe, FlyingHeroesPipe')(format='.')
+:marked
+  We inherit from `FlyingHeroesPipe` to prove the point that nothing changed internally.
+  The only difference is the `pure` flag in the pipe metadata.
+  
+  This is a good candidate for an impure pipe because the `transform` function is trivial and fast.
++makeExample('pipes/ts/app/flying-heroes.pipe.ts','filter')(format='.')
+
+  We can derive a `FlyingHeroesImpureComponent` that we derive from the `FlyingHeroesComponent`.
++makeExample('pipes/ts/app/flying-heroes.component.ts','impure-component', 
+'app/flying-heroes.component.ts (FlyingHeroesImpureComponent)')(format='.')
+:marked
+  The only substantive change is the pipe. 
+  We can confirm in the [live example](/resources/live-examples/pipes/ts/plnkr.html)
+  that the *flying heroes* display updates as we enter new heroes even when we mutate the `heroes` array.
+  
   <a id="async-pipe"></a>
-  ## The stateful `AsyncPipe`
-  The Angular Async pipe is a remarkable example of a stateful pipe.
-  The Async pipe can receive a Promise or Observable as input
-  and subscribe to the input automatically, eventually returning the emitted value(s).
+  ### The impure *AsyncPipe*
+  The Angular `AsyncPipe` is an interesting example of an impure pipe.
+  The `AsyncPipe` accepts a `Promise` or `Observable` as input
+  and subscribes to the input automatically, eventually returning the emitted value(s).
 
-  It is stateful because the pipe maintains a subscription to the input and its returned values depend on that subscription.
+  It is also stateful. 
+  The pipe maintains a subscription to the input `Observable` and 
+  keeps delivering values from that `Observable` as they arrive.
 
-  In the next example, we bind a simple promise to a view with the async pipe.
+  In this next example, we bind an `Observable` of message strings (`messages$`) to a view with the `async` pipe.
 +makeExample('pipes/ts/app/hero-async-message.component.ts', null, 'app/hero-async-message.component.ts')
 
 :marked
   The Async pipe saves boilerplate in the component code.
   The component doesn't have to subscribe to the async data source,
   it doesn't extract the resolved values and expose them for binding,
-  and (in the case of Observable stream sources like `EventEmitter`)
-  the component doesn't have to unsubscribe when it is destroyed
+  and the component doesn't have to unsubscribe when it is destroyed
   (a potent source of memory leaks).
 
-  ### Implementing a Stateful Pipe
-  Pipes are stateless by default.
-  We must declare a pipe to be stateful
-  by setting the `pure` property of the `@Pipe` decorator to `false`.
-  This setting tells Angular’s change detection system to
-  check the output of this pipe each cycle, whether its input has changed or not.
+  ### An impure caching pipe
+
+  Let's write one more impure pipe, a pipe that makes an http request to the server.
+  
+  Normally, that's a horrible idea. 
+  It's probably a horrible idea no matter what we do.
+  We're forging ahead anyway to make a point.
+  
+  Remember that impure pipes are called every few microseconds.
+  If we're not careful, this pipe will punish the server with requests.
+  
+  We are careful. Our pipe only makes a server call if the request URL has changed.
+  It caches the request URL and waits for a result which it also caches when it arrives.
+  The pipe returns the cached result (which is null while a request is in flight)
+  after every Angular call and only contacts the server as necessary.
+  
+  Here's the code, which uses the [Angular http](server-communication.html) facility
+  to retrieve a `heroes.json` file:
 
-  Here's how we'll decorate our new stateful `FetchJsonPipe` that
-  makes an HTTP `fetch` request and (eventually) displays the data in the server's response:
-+makeExample('pipes/ts/app/fetch-json.pipe.ts', 'pipe-metadata','app/fetch-json.pipe.ts (metadata)')
-:marked
-  Immediately below we have the finished pipe. Its input value is an url to an endpoint that returns a JSON file.
-  The pipe makes a one-time async request to the server and eventually receives the JSON response.
 +makeExample('pipes/ts/app/fetch-json.pipe.ts', null, 'app/fetch-json.pipe.ts')

-  Next we demonstrate this pipe in a test component whose template defines two bindings
+  Then we demonstrate it in a harness component whose template defines two bindings to this pipe.
 +makeExample('pipes/ts/app/hero-list.component.ts', 'template', 'app/hero-list.component.ts (template)')
 :marked
+  Despite the two bindings and what we know to be frequent pipe calls, 
+  the nework tab in the browser developer tools confirms that there is only one request for the file.
+  
   The component renders like this:
 figure.image-display
     img(src='/resources/images/devguide/pipes/hero-list.png' alt="Hero List")
 :marked
-  The first binding is straight forward. An `ngFor` repeater displays the hero names fetched from a json source file.
-  We're piping the literal file name, "heroes.json", through to the custom `fetch` pipe.
-
-  ### JsonPipe
-  The second binding uses more pipe chaining.
-  We take the same fetched results and display the raw hero data in JSON format 
-  by piping to the built-in `JsonPipe`.
+  ### *JsonPipe*
+  The second binding involving the `FetchPipe` uses more pipe chaining.

+  ### Pure pipes vs. pure functions
+  
+  When developers first hear of *pure pipes* many of them think these pipes must be *pure functions*.
+  
+  Pure functions process inputs and return values without detectable side-effects. 
+  Given the same input they should always return the same output.
+  
+  Pure pipes _are_ typically implemented with pure function.
+  The pipes we saw earlier in this chapter were implemented with pure functions.
+  The built-in `DatePipe` is a pure pipe with a pure function implementation. 
+  So is our `ExponentialStrengthPipe`.
+  So is our `FlyingHeroesPipe`.
+  
+  But there is no necessary connection between a pure pipe and a pure function.
+  A few steps back we reviewed the `FlyingHeroesImpurePipe` &mdash; *an impure pipe with a pure function*.
+  
+  We can also write *a pure pipe with an impure function* such as the
+  `RandomizerPipe` (also in the [live example](/resources/live-examples/pipes/ts/plnkr.html))
+  that ignores its input value and outputs a random number. Clearly an impure function!
+  Yet it's perfectly well behaved as a pure pipe.
++makeExample('pipes/ts/app/random-pipe.component.ts', 'pipe','app/random-pipe.component.ts (pipe)')(format='.')
+:marked
+  When the input changes, it outputs a new value albeit never the same value for the same input.
+  
+  Remember *purity in a pipe has nothing to do with pure functions!*
+  
+  *Pipe purity* is more about the purity of the input values than of the pipe itself.

+  This is not an oversight. Angular 2 is unlikely to offer such pipes because
+  (a) they perform poorly and (b) they prevent aggressive minification.
+  
+  Both *filter* and *orderBy* require parameters that reference object properties.
+  We learned earlier that such pipes must be  [*impure*](#pure-and-impure-pipes) and that
+  Angular calls impure pipes in almost every change detection cycle.
+  
+  Filtering and especially sorting are expensive operations. 
+  The user experience can degrade severely for even moderate sized lists when Angular calls these pipe methods many times per second.
+  The `filter` and `orderBy` have often been abused in Angular 1 apps, leading to complaints that Angular itself is slow.
+  That charge is fair in the indirect sense that Angular 1 prepared this performance trap 
+  by offering `filter` and `orderBy` in the first place.
+  
+  The minification hazard is also compelling if less obvious. Imagine a sorting pipe applied to a list of heroes.
+  We might sort the list by hero `name` and `planet` origin properties something like this:
+code-example(format="." language="html")
+  &lt;!-- NOT REAL CODE! -->
+  &lt;div *ngFor="#hero of heroes | orderBy:'name,planet'">&lt;/div>
+:marked
+  We identify the sort fields by text strings, expecting the pipe to reference a property value by indexing
+  (e.g., `hero['name']`).
+  Unfortunately, aggressive minification *munges* the `Hero` property names so that `Hero.name` and `Hero.planet`
+  becomes something like `Hero.a` and `Hero.b`. Clearly `hero['name']` is not going to work.
+  
+  Some of us may not care to minify this aggressively. That's *our* choice.
+  But the Angular product should not prevent someone else from minifying aggressively.
+  Therefore, the Angular team decided that everything shipped in Angular will minify safely.
+  
+  The Angular team and many experienced Angular developers strongly recommend that you move
+  filtering and sorting logic into the component itself. 
+  The component can expose a `filteredHeroes` or `sortedHeroes` property and take control
+  over when and how often to execute the supporting logic. 
+  Any capabilities that you would have put in a pipe and shared across the app can be 
+  written in a filtering/sorting service and injected into the component.
+  
+  If these performance and minification considerations do not apply to you, you can always create your own such pipes 
+  (along the lines of the [FlyingHeroesPipe](#impure-flying-heroes)) or find them in the community.
