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。

大型循环在while-condition和反向条件下更快——也就是说,如果循环的顺序对您无关紧要的话。在我大约50%的代码中,它通常不存在。

即。

var i, len = 100000;

for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
  // do stuff
}

比:

i = len;
while (i--) {
  // do stuff
}

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。

存在检查。我经常看到这样的东西

var a = [0, 1, 2];

// code that might clear the array.

if (a.length > 0) {
 // do something
}

例如,你可以这样做:

var a = [0, 1, 2];

// code that might clear the array.

if (a.length) { // if length is not equal to 0, this will be true
 // do something
}

你可以做各种各样的存在性检验,但这只是一个简单的例子

下面是一个关于如何使用默认值的示例。

function (someArgument) {
      someArgument || (someArgument = "This is the deault value");
}

这是我的意见。还有其他鸡块,但就到这里了。

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。

下面是一些有趣的事情:

Comparing NaN with anything (even NaN) is always false, that includes ==, < and >. NaN Stands for Not a Number but if you ask for the type it actually returns a number. Array.sort can take a comparator function and is called by a quicksort-like driver (depends on implementation). Regular expression "constants" can maintain state, like the last thing they matched. Some versions of JavaScript allow you to access $0, $1, $2 members on a regex. null is unlike anything else. It is neither an object, a boolean, a number, a string, nor undefined. It's a bit like an "alternate" undefined. (Note: typeof null == "object") In the outermost context, this yields the otherwise unnameable [Global] object. Declaring a variable with var, instead of just relying on automatic declaration of the variable gives the runtime a real chance of optimizing access to that variable The with construct will destroy such optimzations Variable names can contain Unicode characters. JavaScript regular expressions are not actually regular. They are based on Perl's regexs, and it is possible to construct expressions with lookaheads that take a very, very long time to evaluate. Blocks can be labeled and used as the targets of break. Loops can be labeled and used as the target of continue. Arrays are not sparse. Setting the 1000th element of an otherwise empty array should fill it with undefined. (depends on implementation) if (new Boolean(false)) {...} will execute the {...} block Javascript's regular expression engine's are implementation specific: e.g. it is possible to write "non-portable" regular expressions.

也许其中一个不太为人所知:

arguments. called .caller + Function#toString()

function called(){
    alert("Go called by:\n"+arguments.callee.caller.toString());
}

function iDoTheCall(){
    called();
}

iDoTheCall();
