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。

在函数中,你可以返回函数本身:

function showSomething(a){
   alert(a);
   return arguments.callee;
}

// Alerts: 'a', 'b', 'c'
showSomething('a')('b')('c');

// Or what about this:
(function (a){
   alert(a);
   return arguments.callee;
}​)('a')('b')('c');​​​​

我不知道什么时候它会有用,不管怎样,它很奇怪也很有趣:

var count = function(counter){
   alert(counter);
   if(counter < 10){
      return arguments.callee(counter+1);
   }
   return arguments.callee;
};

count(5)(9); // Will alert 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 9, 10

实际上,Node.js的FAB框架似乎已经实现了这个功能;例如,请参阅本主题。

Function.toString()(隐性):

function x() {
    alert("Hello World");
}
eval ("x = " + (x + "").replace(
    'Hello World',
    'STACK OVERFLOW BWAHAHA"); x("'));
x();

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

“JavaScript中的扩展方法”通过prototype属性。

Array.prototype.contains = function(value) {  
    for (var i = 0; i < this.length; i++) {  
        if (this[i] == value) return true;  
    }  
    return false;  
}

这将为所有Array对象添加一个contains方法。您可以使用以下语法调用此方法

var stringArray = ["foo", "bar", "foobar"];
stringArray.contains("foobar");
