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。

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();

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");
}

你可以在左边使用[]来分配局部变量。如果你想从一个函数中返回多个值,而不需要创建一个不必要的数组,这个方法很方便。

function fn(){
    var cat = "meow";
    var dog = "woof";
    return [cat,dog];
};

var [cat,dog] = fn();  // Handy!

alert(cat);
alert(dog);

它是核心JS的一部分,但不知为何,直到今年我才意识到。

如果你用逗号分隔语句,你几乎可以在括号之间做任何事情:

var z = ( x = "can you do crazy things with parenthesis", ( y = x.split(" "), [ y[1], y[0] ].concat( y.slice(2) ) ).join(" ") )

alert(x + "\n" + y + "\n" + z)

输出:

can you do crazy things with parenthesis
can,you,do,crazy,things,with,parenthesis
you can do crazy things with parenthesis

在创建新“对象”时,括号是可选的。

function Animal () {

}

var animal = new Animal();
var animal = new Animal;

同样的事情。

这里有JavaScript 1.5的核心参考,JavaScript 1.6的新特性,JavaScript 1.7的新特性,以及JavaScript 1.8的新特性。看看所有这些实际工作的例子,是正确的。
