let.

与var缺乏块作用域对应的是let，在JavaScript 1.7中引入。

The let statement provides a way to associate values with variables within the scope of a block, without affecting the values of like-named variables outside the block. The let expression lets you establish variables scoped only to a single expression. The let definition defines variables whose scope is constrained to the block in which they're defined. This syntax is very much like the syntax used for var. You can also use let to establish variables that exist only within the context of a for loop.

  function varTest() {
        var x = 31;
    if (true) {
      var x = 71;  // same variable!
      alert(x);  // 71
    }
    alert(x);  // 71
  }

  function letTest() {
    let x = 31;
    if (true) {
      let x = 71;  // different variable
      alert(x);  // 71
    }
    alert(x);  // 31
  }

截至2008年，FireFox 2.0+和Safari 3.x支持JavaScript 1.7。

JavaScript中的闭包(类似于c# v2.0+中的匿名方法)呢?你可以创建一个函数来创建一个函数或“表达式”。

闭包的例子:

//Takes a function that filters numbers and calls the function on 
//it to build up a list of numbers that satisfy the function.
function filter(filterFunction, numbers)
{
  var filteredNumbers = [];

  for (var index = 0; index < numbers.length; index++)
  {
    if (filterFunction(numbers[index]) == true)
    {
      filteredNumbers.push(numbers[index]);
    }
  }
  return filteredNumbers;
}

//Creates a function (closure) that will remember the value "lowerBound" 
//that gets passed in and keep a copy of it.
function buildGreaterThanFunction(lowerBound)
{
  return function (numberToCheck) {
    return (numberToCheck > lowerBound) ? true : false;
  };
}

var numbers = [1, 15, 20, 4, 11, 9, 77, 102, 6];

var greaterThan7 = buildGreaterThanFunction(7);
var greaterThan15 = buildGreaterThanFunction(15);

numbers = filter(greaterThan7, numbers);
alert('Greater Than 7: ' + numbers);

numbers = filter(greaterThan15, numbers);
alert('Greater Than 15: ' + numbers);

函数语句和函数表达式的处理方式不同。

function blarg(a) {return a;} // statement
bleep = function(b) {return b;} //expression

所有函数语句在代码运行之前都会被解析——JavaScript文件底部的函数将在第一个语句中可用。另一方面，它将无法利用某些动态上下文，例如围绕语句—在解析函数时，with还没有执行。

函数表达式在遇到它们的地方内联执行。在此之前它们是不可用的，但它们可以利用动态上下文。

可以使用[]而不是。

这允许您查找与变量匹配的属性。

obj = {a:"test"};
var propname = "a";
var b = obj[propname];  // "test"

您还可以使用此命令获取/设置名称不是合法标识符的对象属性。

obj["class"] = "test";  // class is a reserved word; obj.class would be illegal.
obj["two words"] = "test2"; // using dot operator not possible with the space.

有些人不知道这一点，最终像这样使用eval()，这是一个非常糟糕的主意:

var propname = "a";
var a = eval("obj." + propname);

这更难阅读，更难发现错误(不能使用jslint)，执行速度更慢，并可能导致XSS漏洞。

你可以使用in操作符检查对象中是否存在键:

var x = 1;
var y = 3;
var list = {0:0, 1:0, 2:0};
x in list; //true
y in list; //false
1 in list; //true
y in {3:0, 4:0, 5:0}; //true

如果你觉得对象文字太丑，你可以将它与无参数函数提示结合起来:

function list()
 { var x = {};
   for(var i=0; i < arguments.length; ++i) x[arguments[i]] = 0;
   return x
 }

 5 in list(1,2,3,4,5) //true

语法糖:内联for循环闭包

var i;

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) (function ()
{
    // do something with i
}());

几乎打破了Douglas Crockford的所有代码惯例，但我认为它看起来很漂亮，从未减少:)

选择:

var i;

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) (function (j)
{
    // do something with j
}(i));
