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。

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();

打印出idocall的源代码—— 已弃用,但有时在警报是您唯一的选择时可能有用....

数字也是对象。所以你可以做一些很酷的事情,比如:

// convert to base 2
(5).toString(2) // returns "101"

// provide built in iteration
Number.prototype.times = function(funct){
  if(typeof funct === 'function') {
    for(var i = 0;i < Math.floor(this);i++) {
      funct(i);
    }
  }
  return this;
}


(5).times(function(i){
  string += i+" ";
});
// string now equals "0 1 2 3 4 "

var x = 1000;

x.times(function(i){
  document.body.innerHTML += '<p>paragraph #'+i+'</p>';
});
// adds 1000 parapraphs to the document

我最喜欢的方法之一是构造函数类型检查:

function getObjectType( obj ) {  
    return obj.constructor.name;  
}  

window.onload = function() {  
    alert( getObjectType( "Hello World!" ) );  
    function Cat() {  
        // some code here...  
    }  
    alert( getObjectType( new Cat() ) );  
}

因此,您可以根据构造函数获得真正的对象类型,而不是经常使用typeof关键字获得的陈旧的[Object对象]。

另一种方法是使用变量参数作为“重载”函数的一种方式。你所做的只是使用一个表达式来检测参数的数量并返回重载输出:

function myFunction( message, iteration ) {  
    if ( arguments.length == 2 ) {  
        for ( i = 0; i < iteration; i++ ) {  
            alert( message );  
        }  
    } else {  
        alert( message );  
    }  
}  

window.onload = function() {  
    myFunction( "Hello World!", 3 );  
}

最后,我要说的是赋值运算符速记。我从jQuery框架的源代码中了解到这一点…老办法:

var a, b, c, d;
b = a;
c = b;
d = c;

新的(简写)方式:

var a, b, c, d;
d = c = b = a;

很有趣。

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:)
