Origin
Greek ephemeros "lasting only a day".
Definition
The opposite of persistant.
Examples
RAM
- RAM is ephemeral whereas hard disk storage is persistant.
Data structures
Data structures are ephemeral because properties can be mutated and there's no way to get back the original object
const dinner = {
main: 'turkey',
side: 'potatoes'
}
dinner.side = 'potatoes'
console.log(dinner) // { main: 'turkey', side: 'potatoes' }
