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。

生成器和迭代器(仅适用于Firefox 2+和Safari)。

function fib() {
  var i = 0, j = 1;
  while (true) {
    yield i;
    var t = i;
    i = j;
    j += t;
  }
}

var g = fib();
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  document.write(g.next() + "<br>\n");
}

The function containing the yield keyword is a generator. When you call it, its formal parameters are bound to actual arguments, but its body isn't actually evaluated. Instead, a generator-iterator is returned. Each call to the generator-iterator's next() method performs another pass through the iterative algorithm. Each step's value is the value specified by the yield keyword. Think of yield as the generator-iterator version of return, indicating the boundary between each iteration of the algorithm. Each time you call next(), the generator code resumes from the statement following the yield. In normal usage, iterator objects are "invisible"; you won't need to operate on them explicitly, but will instead use JavaScript's for...in and for each...in statements to loop naturally over the keys and/or values of objects.

var objectWithIterator = getObjectSomehow();

for (var i in objectWithIterator)
{
  document.write(objectWithIterator[i] + "<br>\n");
}

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.

jQuery和JavaScript:

变量名可以包含许多奇数字符。我使用$字符来标识包含jQuery对象的变量:

var $links = $("a");

$links.hide();

jQuery的对象链接模式非常好,但是应用这个模式可能会让人有点困惑。幸运的是JavaScript允许你断行,就像这样:

$("a")
.hide()
.fadeIn()
.fadeOut()
.hide();

一般的JavaScript:

我发现通过使用自执行函数来模拟作用域很有用:

function test()
{
    // scope of test()

    (function()
    {
        // scope inside the scope of test()
    }());

    // scope of test()
}

有些人会说这是品味问题,但是:

aWizz = wizz || "default";
// same as: if (wizz) { aWizz = wizz; } else { aWizz = "default"; }

三元操作符可以被链接到Scheme的(cond…):

(cond (predicate  (action  ...))
      (predicate2 (action2 ...))
      (#t         default ))

可以写成……

predicate  ? action( ... ) :
predicate2 ? action2( ... ) :
             default;

这是非常“实用的”,因为它可以在没有副作用的情况下对代码进行分支。所以不要:

if (predicate) {
  foo = "one";
} else if (predicate2) {
  foo = "two";
} else {
  foo = "default";
}

你可以这样写:

foo = predicate  ? "one" :
      predicate2 ? "two" :
                   "default";

也适用于递归:)

我要说的是自执行函数。

(function() { alert("hi there");})();

因为Javascript没有块作用域,如果你想定义局部变量,你可以使用一个自执行函数:

(function() {
  var myvar = 2;
  alert(myvar);
})();

在这里,myvar不会干扰或污染全局作用域,并且在函数终止时消失。

这个是超级隐藏的,只是偶尔有用;-)

可以使用原型链创建委托给另一个对象的对象,而无需更改原始对象。

var o1 = { foo: 1, bar: 'abc' };
function f() {}
f.prototype = o1;
o2 = new f();
assert( o2.foo === 1 );
assert( o2.bar === 'abc' );
o2.foo = 2;
o2.baz = true;
assert( o2.foo === 2 );
// o1 is unchanged by assignment to o2
assert( o1.foo === 1 );
assert( o2.baz );

这只包括o1上的“简单”值。如果你修改了一个数组或另一个对象,那么原型就不再“保护”原始对象。当你在Class定义/原型中有{}或[]时要小心。
