JavaScript typeof运算符用于数组或null总是返回对象值，在某些情况下可能不是程序员所期望的。

这里有一个函数，它将为这些项返回正确的值。数组识别复制自Douglas Crockford的书《JavaScript: The Good Parts》。

function typeOf (value) {
    var type = typeof value;
    if (type === 'object') {
        if (value === null) {
             type = 'null';
        } else if (typeof value.length === 'number' && 
            typeof value.splice === 'function' && 
            !value.propertyIsEnumerable('length')) {
            type = 'array';
        }
    }
    return type;
}

“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");

方法(或函数)可以在不是它们设计使用的类型的对象上调用。这对于在自定义对象上调用本机(快速)方法非常有用。

var listNodes = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
listNodes.sort(function(a, b){ ... });

这段代码崩溃是因为listNodes不是数组

Array.prototype.sort.apply(listNodes, [function(a, b){ ... }]);

这段代码之所以有效，是因为listNodes定义了足够多的类数组属性(length，[]运算符)供sort()使用。

使用函数。Apply用于指定函数将作用的对象:

假设你有一个类

function myClass(){
 this.fun = function(){
   do something;
 };
}

如果之后你这样做了:

var a = new myClass();
var b = new myClass();

myClass.fun.apply(b); //this will be like b.fun();

您甚至可以指定一个调用参数数组作为第二个参数

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");
}
