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。

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?

你永远不需要使用eval()来组装全局变量名。

也就是说,如果你有几个名为spec_grapes, spec_apples的全局变量(无论出于什么原因),你不需要用eval("spec_" + var)访问它们。

所有全局变量都是window[]的成员,所以你可以执行window["spec_" + var]。

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.

这里有一些捷径:

var a = []; // equivalent to new Array()
var o = {}; // equivalent to new Object()

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:)

JavaScript中的时间戳:

// Usual Way
var d = new Date();
timestamp = d.getTime();

// Shorter Way
timestamp = (new Date()).getTime();

// Shortest Way
timestamp = +new Date();
