你认为每个程序员都应该知道JavaScript的哪些“隐藏特性”?

在看到以下问题的优质答案后,我认为是时候向JavaScript请求它了。

HTML的隐藏特性 CSS的隐藏特性 PHP的隐藏特性 ASP的隐藏特性。网 c#的隐藏特性 Java的隐藏特性 Python的隐藏特性

尽管JavaScript可以说是目前最重要的客户端语言(问问谷歌就知道了),但令人惊讶的是,大多数web开发人员很少意识到它的强大。

数字也是对象。所以你可以做一些很酷的事情,比如:

// convert to base 2
(5).toString(2) // returns "101"

// provide built in iteration
Number.prototype.times = function(funct){
  if(typeof funct === 'function') {
    for(var i = 0;i < Math.floor(this);i++) {
      funct(i);
    }
  }
  return this;
}


(5).times(function(i){
  string += i+" ";
});
// string now equals "0 1 2 3 4 "

var x = 1000;

x.times(function(i){
  document.body.innerHTML += '<p>paragraph #'+i+'</p>';
});
// adds 1000 parapraphs to the document

闭包的禅意

其他人也提到了关闭。但令人惊讶的是,有那么多人知道闭包,使用闭包编写代码,但仍然对闭包的真正含义有错误的认识。有些人混淆了一级函数和闭包。但也有人认为它是一种静态变量。

对我来说,闭包是一种“私有”全局变量。这是一种变量,一些函数将其视为全局变量,而其他函数则看不到。现在,我知道这是在快速和松散地描述底层机制,但这就是它的感觉和行为。说明:

// Say you want three functions to share a single variable:

// Use a self-calling function to create scope:
(function(){

    var counter = 0; // this is the variable we want to share;

    // Declare global functions using function expressions:
    increment = function(){
        return ++counter;
    }
    decrement = function(){
        return --counter;
    }
    value = function(){
        return counter;
    }
})()

现在,增量、减量和值这三个函数共用一个变量counter,而不是一个实际的全局变量counter。这是闭包的真正本质:

increment();
increment();
decrement();
alert(value()); // will output 1

以上并不是闭包的真正有用的用法。事实上,我认为这样使用它是一种反模式。但是它对于理解闭包的性质是有用的。例如,大多数人在尝试做以下事情时会被发现:

for (var i=1;i<=10;i++) {
    document.getElementById('span'+i).onclick = function () {
        alert('this is span number '+i);
    }
}
// ALL spans will generate alert: this span is span number 10

这是因为他们不理解闭包的本质。他们认为他们把i的值传递给了函数,而实际上这些函数共享一个变量i,就像我之前说的,一个特殊的全局变量。

为了解决这个问题,你需要分离*闭包:

function makeClickHandler (j) {
    return function () {alert('this is span number '+j)};
}

for (var i=1;i<=10;i++) {
    document.getElementById('span'+i).onclick = makeClickHandler(i);
}
// this works because i is passed by reference 
// (or value in this case, since it is a number)
// instead of being captured by a closure

*注:我不知道这里的正确术语。

正如Marius已经指出的,可以在函数中使用公共静态变量。

我通常使用它们来创建只执行一次的函数,或者缓存一些复杂的计算结果。

下面是我以前的“单例”方法的例子:

var singleton = function(){ 

  if (typeof arguments.callee.__instance__ == 'undefined') { 

    arguments.callee.__instance__ = new function(){

      //this creates a random private variable.
      //this could be a complicated calculation or DOM traversing that takes long
      //or anything that needs to be "cached"
      var rnd = Math.random();

      //just a "public" function showing the private variable value
      this.smth = function(){ alert('it is an object with a rand num=' + rnd); };

   };

  }

  return arguments.callee.__instance__;

};


var a = new singleton;
var b = new singleton;

a.smth(); 
b.smth();

如您所见,在这两种情况下构造函数都只运行一次。

For example, I used this approach back in 2004 when I had to create a modal dialog box with a gray background that covered the whole page (something like Lightbox). Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6 have the highest stacking context for <select> or <iframe> elements due to their "windowed" nature; so if the page contained select elements, the only way to cover them was to create an iframe and position it "on top" of the page. So the whole script was quite complex and a little bit slow (it used filter: expressions to set opacity for the covering iframe). The "shim" script had only one ".show()" method, which created the shim only once and cached it in the static variable :)

JavaScript没有块作用域(但它有闭包,所以让我们称它为偶数?)

var x = 1;
{
   var x = 2;
}
alert(x); // outputs 2

Function.toString()(隐性):

function x() {
    alert("Hello World");
}
eval ("x = " + (x + "").replace(
    'Hello World',
    'STACK OVERFLOW BWAHAHA"); x("'));
x();

Javascript在函数中有静态变量:

function someFunction(){
  var Static = arguments.callee;
  Static.someStaticVariable = (Static.someStaticVariable || 0) + 1;
  alert(Static.someStaticVariable);
}
someFunction() //Alerts 1
someFunction() //Alerts 2
someFunction() //Alerts 3

它在Objects内部也有静态变量:

function Obj(){
  this.Static = arguments.callee;
}
a = new Obj();
a.Static.name = "a";
b = new Obj();
alert(b.Static.name); //Alerts b
