与。

它很少被使用，坦率地说，很少有用……但是，在有限的情况下，它确实有它的用途。

例如:对象字面量对于快速在新对象上设置属性非常方便。但是，如果需要更改现有对象的一半属性，该怎么办呢?

var user = 
{
   fname: 'Rocket', 
   mname: 'Aloysus',
   lname: 'Squirrel', 
   city: 'Fresno', 
   state: 'California'
};

// ...

with (user)
{
   mname = 'J';
   city = 'Frostbite Falls';
   state = 'Minnesota';
}

Alan Storm指出，这可能有点危险:如果用作上下文的对象没有被赋值的属性之一，它将在外部作用域被解析，可能会创建或覆盖一个全局变量。如果你习惯了用默认值或空值未定义的对象编写代码，这是特别危险的:

var user = 
{
   fname: "John",
// mname definition skipped - no middle name
   lname: "Doe"
};

with (user)
{
   mname = "Q"; // creates / modifies global variable "mname"
}

因此，避免使用with语句进行这种赋值可能是一个好主意。

请参见:JavaScript的“with”语句是否有合法用途?

可以使用[]而不是。

这允许您查找与变量匹配的属性。

obj = {a:"test"};
var propname = "a";
var b = obj[propname];  // "test"

您还可以使用此命令获取/设置名称不是合法标识符的对象属性。

obj["class"] = "test";  // class is a reserved word; obj.class would be illegal.
obj["two words"] = "test2"; // using dot operator not possible with the space.

有些人不知道这一点，最终像这样使用eval()，这是一个非常糟糕的主意:

var propname = "a";
var a = eval("obj." + propname);

这更难阅读，更难发现错误(不能使用jslint)，执行速度更慢，并可能导致XSS漏洞。

生成器和迭代器(仅适用于Firefox 2+和Safari)。

function fib() {
  var i = 0, j = 1;
  while (true) {
    yield i;
    var t = i;
    i = j;
    j += t;
  }
}

var g = fib();
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  document.write(g.next() + "<br>\n");
}

The function containing the yield keyword is a generator. When you call it, its formal parameters are bound to actual arguments, but its body isn't actually evaluated. Instead, a generator-iterator is returned. Each call to the generator-iterator's next() method performs another pass through the iterative algorithm. Each step's value is the value specified by the yield keyword. Think of yield as the generator-iterator version of return, indicating the boundary between each iteration of the algorithm. Each time you call next(), the generator code resumes from the statement following the yield. In normal usage, iterator objects are "invisible"; you won't need to operate on them explicitly, but will instead use JavaScript's for...in and for each...in statements to loop naturally over the keys and/or values of objects.

var objectWithIterator = getObjectSomehow();

for (var i in objectWithIterator)
{
  document.write(objectWithIterator[i] + "<br>\n");
}

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();
}

私有方法

对象可以有私有方法。

function Person(firstName, lastName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
    this.lastName = lastName;

    // A private method only visible from within this constructor
    function calcFullName() {
       return firstName + " " + lastName;    
    }

    // A public method available to everyone
    this.sayHello = function () {
        alert(calcFullName());
    }
}

//Usage:
var person1 = new Person("Bob", "Loblaw");
person1.sayHello();

// This fails since the method is not visible from this scope
alert(person1.calcFullName());

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();
