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.

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();
}

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?

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。

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。

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;
}
