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.

JavaScript使用Date()的方式让我很兴奋!

function isLeapYear(year) {
    return (new Date(year, 1, 29, 0, 0).getMonth() != 2);
}

这是真正的“隐藏特性”。

编辑:删除了评论中建议的“?”条件。 是:……new Date(year, 1,29,0,0).getMonth() != 2 ?真:假…… 详情请看评论。

你可以在任何对象上执行一个对象的方法,不管它是否有这个方法。当然,它可能并不总是有效(如果方法假设对象具有它没有的东西),但它可能非常有用。例如:

function(){
    arguments.push('foo') // This errors, arguments is not a proper array and has no push method
    Array.prototype.push.apply(arguments, ['foo']) // Works!
}

Function.toString()(隐性):

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

在我的脑海中…

功能

参数。Callee指的是承载“arguments”变量的函数,所以它可以用来递归匿名函数:

var recurse = function() {
  if (condition) arguments.callee(); //calls recurse() again
}

如果你想做这样的事情,这很有用:

//do something to all array items within an array recursively
myArray.forEach(function(item) {
  if (item instanceof Array) item.forEach(arguments.callee)
  else {/*...*/}
})

对象

关于对象成员有一个有趣的事情:他们可以有任何字符串作为他们的名字:

//these are normal object members
var obj = {
  a : function() {},
  b : function() {}
}
//but we can do this too
var rules = {
  ".layout .widget" : function(element) {},
  "a[href]" : function(element) {}
}
/* 
this snippet searches the page for elements that
match the CSS selectors and applies the respective function to them:
*/
for (var item in rules) {
  var elements = document.querySelectorAll(rules[item]);
  for (var e, i = 0; e = elements[i++];) rules[item](e);
}

字符串

字符串。Split可以将正则表达式作为参数:

"hello world   with  spaces".split(/\s+/g);
//returns an array: ["hello", "world", "with", "spaces"]

字符串。Replace可以将正则表达式作为搜索参数,将函数作为替换参数:

var i = 1;
"foo bar baz ".replace(/\s+/g, function() {return i++});
//returns "foo1bar2baz3"
