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。


当前回答

函数是对象,因此可以具有属性。

fn = function(x) {
   // ...
}

fn.foo = 1;

fn.next = function(y) {
  //
}

其他回答

JavaScript中的闭包(类似于c# v2.0+中的匿名方法)呢?你可以创建一个函数来创建一个函数或“表达式”。

闭包的例子:

//Takes a function that filters numbers and calls the function on 
//it to build up a list of numbers that satisfy the function.
function filter(filterFunction, numbers)
{
  var filteredNumbers = [];

  for (var index = 0; index < numbers.length; index++)
  {
    if (filterFunction(numbers[index]) == true)
    {
      filteredNumbers.push(numbers[index]);
    }
  }
  return filteredNumbers;
}

//Creates a function (closure) that will remember the value "lowerBound" 
//that gets passed in and keep a copy of it.
function buildGreaterThanFunction(lowerBound)
{
  return function (numberToCheck) {
    return (numberToCheck > lowerBound) ? true : false;
  };
}

var numbers = [1, 15, 20, 4, 11, 9, 77, 102, 6];

var greaterThan7 = buildGreaterThanFunction(7);
var greaterThan15 = buildGreaterThanFunction(15);

numbers = filter(greaterThan7, numbers);
alert('Greater Than 7: ' + numbers);

numbers = filter(greaterThan15, numbers);
alert('Greater Than 15: ' + numbers);

在我的脑海中…

功能

参数。Callee指的是承载“arguments”变量的函数,所以它可以用来递归匿名函数:

var recurse = function() {
  if (condition) arguments.callee(); //calls recurse() again
}

如果你想做这样的事情,这很有用:

//do something to all array items within an array recursively
myArray.forEach(function(item) {
  if (item instanceof Array) item.forEach(arguments.callee)
  else {/*...*/}
})

对象

关于对象成员有一个有趣的事情:他们可以有任何字符串作为他们的名字:

//these are normal object members
var obj = {
  a : function() {},
  b : function() {}
}
//but we can do this too
var rules = {
  ".layout .widget" : function(element) {},
  "a[href]" : function(element) {}
}
/* 
this snippet searches the page for elements that
match the CSS selectors and applies the respective function to them:
*/
for (var item in rules) {
  var elements = document.querySelectorAll(rules[item]);
  for (var e, i = 0; e = elements[i++];) rules[item](e);
}

字符串

字符串。Split可以将正则表达式作为参数:

"hello world   with  spaces".split(/\s+/g);
//returns an array: ["hello", "world", "with", "spaces"]

字符串。Replace可以将正则表达式作为搜索参数,将函数作为替换参数:

var i = 1;
"foo bar baz ".replace(/\s+/g, function() {return i++});
//returns "foo1bar2baz3"

为变量分配默认值

你可以在赋值表达式中使用逻辑运算符||来提供一个默认值:

var a = b || c;

只有当b为false (if为null, false, undefined, 0,空字符串或NaN)时,变量a才会得到c的值,否则a将得到b的值。

这通常在函数中很有用,当你想在没有提供参数的情况下给参数一个默认值:

function example(arg1) {
  arg1 || (arg1 = 'default value');
}

事件处理程序中的IE回退示例:

function onClick(e) {
    e || (e = window.event);
}

以下语言特性已经伴随我们很长时间了,所有JavaScript实现都支持它们,但直到ECMAScript第5版才成为规范的一部分:

调试器语句

§12.15调试器语句描述

这个语句允许你通过以下方式在代码中添加断点:

// ...
debugger;
// ...

如果有调试器存在或处于活动状态,则会导致调试器立即在这一行上中断。

否则,如果调试器不存在或不活动,则此语句没有可观察到的效果。

多行字符串字面值

在§7.8.4字符串字面量中描述

var str = "This is a \
really, really \
long line!";

您必须小心,因为\旁边的字符必须是行结束符,例如,如果在\后面有空格,代码将看起来完全相同,但它将引发SyntaxError。

所有“隐藏的”特性都在Mozilla wiki上:http://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript。

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。

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.
