JavaScript使用了一个简单的对象文字:

var x = { intValue: 5, strValue: "foo" };

这将构造一个完整的对象。

JavaScript使用基于原型的面向对象，并提供了在运行时扩展类型的能力:

String.prototype.doubleLength = function() {
    return this.length * 2;
}

alert("foo".doubleLength());

对象将对不包含它自身的属性的所有访问委托给它的“原型”，另一个对象。这可以用来实现继承，但实际上更强大(即使更麻烦):

/* "Constructor" */
function foo() {
    this.intValue = 5;
}

/* Create the prototype that includes everything
 * common to all objects created be the foo function.
 */
foo.prototype = {
    method: function() {
        alert(this.intValue);
    }
}

var f = new foo();
f.method();

具有公共接口的私有变量

它使用了一个简洁的小技巧，即自调用函数定义。 返回的对象中的所有内容在公共接口中都是可用的，而其他所有内容都是私有的。

var test = function () {
    //private members
    var x = 1;
    var y = function () {
        return x * 2;
    };
    //public interface
    return {
        setx : function (newx) {
            x = newx;
        },
        gety : function () {
            return y();
        }
    }
}();

assert(undefined == test.x);
assert(undefined == test.y);
assert(2 == test.gety());
test.setx(5);
assert(10 == test.gety());

微软给JavaScript的礼物:AJAX

AJAXCall('http://www.abcd.com/')

function AJAXCall(url) {
 var client = new XMLHttpRequest();
 client.onreadystatechange = handlerFunc;
 client.open("GET", url);
 client.send();
}

function handlerFunc() {
 if(this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
 if(this.responseXML != null)
   document.write(this.responseXML)
 }
}

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

函数在JavaScript中是第一类公民:

var passFunAndApply = function (fn,x,y,z) { return fn(x,y,z); };

var sum = function(x,y,z) {
  return x+y+z;
};

alert( passFunAndApply(sum,3,4,5) ); // 12

函数式编程技术可以用来编写优雅的javascript。

特别是，函数可以作为参数传递，例如Array.filter()接受回调:

[1, 2, -1].filter(function(element, index, array) { return element > 0 });
// -> [1,2]

你也可以声明一个“private”函数，它只存在于特定函数的作用域中:

function PrintName() {
    var privateFunction = function() { return "Steve"; };
    return privateFunction();
}
