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。


当前回答

也许对某些人来说有点明显…

安装Firebug并使用console.log("hello")。这比使用随机alert();好多了,我记得几年前我经常这样做。

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。

未定义就是未定义。所以你可以这样做:

if (obj.field === undefined) /* ... */

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.

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。
