JavaScript Basics

Using JavaScript in HTML as:

  • inline
  • infile
  • external

JavaScript Basics

// inline
<body>
  <button onclick="
    function doSomething() { /* code goes here */ }; 
    doSomething()
  ">
    Click me!
  </button>
</body>

Inline

JavaScript Basics

// infile

// index.html
<body>
  <button onclick="doSomething()">
    Click me!
  </button>
  
  <script>
    function doSomething() { /* code goes here */ }
  </script>
</body>

Infile

JavaScript Basics

// external

// index.html
<body>
  <button onclick="doSomething()">

Comments

JavaScript Basics

JavaScript Basics

Comments are text we put in our code that doesn't get executed

JavaScript Basics

// This is a single line comment
function doSomething() {
  return true;
}

// We can add code between single line comments
var value = 2; // Or even add comments at the end of a line


// A comment
// can be added after another comment
// but this is not really a multiline comment

Single line comments

JavaScript Basics

/**
 * This is a proper multi line comment
 * 
 * We can have blank lines in the comment
 * but we can't have code inside a multi line comment
 */
function doSomethingElse() {
  
}

var test = /* some comment goes here */ 2;

Operators

JavaScript Basics

JavaScript Basics

Arithmetic

Comparison

Assignment

JavaScript Basics

Arithmetic

Addition (+) Adds two operands
Subtraction (-) Subtracts the second operand from the first
Multiplication (*) Multiply both operands
Division (/) Divide the numerator by the denominator
Modulus (%) Outputs the remainder of an integer division
Increment (++) Increases an integer value by one
Decrement (--) Decreases an integer value by one

JavaScript Basics

Comparison

Equal (==) Checks if the value of two operands are equal or not, if yes, then the condition becomes true.
Not Equal (!=) Checks if the value of two operands are equal or not, if the values are not equal, then the condition becomes true.
Greater than (>) Checks if the value of the left operand is greater than the value of the right operand, if yes, then the condition becomes true.
Less than (<) Checks if the value of the left operand is less than the value of the right operand, if yes, then the condition becomes true.

JavaScript Basics

Comparison (cont.)

Greater than or Equal to (>=) Checks if the value of the left operand is greater than or equal to the value of the right operand, if yes, then the condition becomes true.
Less than or Equal to (<=) Checks if the value of the left operand is less than or equal to the value of the right operand, if yes, then the condition becomes true.

JavaScript Basics

Logical

Logical AND (&&) If both the operands are non-zero, then the condition becomes true.
Logical OR (||) If any of the two operands are non-zero, then the condition becomes true.
Logical NOT (!) Reverses the logical state of its operand. If a condition is true, then the Logical NOT operator will make it false.

JavaScript Basics

Assignment

Simple Assignment (=) Assigns values from the right side operand to the left side operand
Add and Assignment (+=) It adds the right operand to the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.
Subtract and Assignment (-=) It subtracts the right operand from the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.
Multiply and Assignment (*=) It multiplies the right operand with the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.
Divide and Assignment (/=) It divides the left operand with the right operand and assigns the result to the left operand.
Modules and Assignment (%=) It takes modulus using two operands and assigns the result to the left operand.

Functions

JavaScript Basics

JavaScript Basics

Definition

Params

Arguments

Calls

JavaScript Basics

Definition

// first we define a function name and the parameters
function doSomething(params) {
  // then we define the function body
  
  // functions do not need a return statement but one is preferred
}

doSomething(values); // for our function to work, we need to call it

JavaScript Basics

Params

// params are always in the paranthesis following a function name
// they can be any type of data or even other functions
function doSomething(params) {
  
}

JavaScript Basics

Arguments

// arguments is a special key-word in javascript
// it takes over and contains all data being sent to the function as an input
function doSomething() {
  var params = arguments;
}

doSomething(input);

JavaScript Basics

Calls

function doSomething(params) {
  // ...
}

var doSomethingElse = function(params) {
  // ...
}

var doSomethingMore = doSomethingElse;

// calling a function can be done on any kind of function
// even if it is a named, annonymouse or just a cloned function body
doSomething(input);

JavaScript Basics

Pure functions

based on input => output

no mutation

=> easy to test

=> predictability

=> no "wild" bugs

JavaScript Basics

Pure functions vs mutation

function doSomething(input) {
  // doing some magic processing here
  
  return output;
}

// vs

var output;
function doSomething(input) {
  // doing the same magic here
  
  output = values;
}

JavaScript Basics

Pure functions vs mutation

function doSomething(input) {
  // doing some magic processing here
  
  return output;
}

function doSomethingElse(input) {

function doSomething(input) {
  // doing the same magic here
  
  output = values;
}

function doSomethingElse(input) {

Closures

JavaScript Basics

JavaScript Basics

A closure is the combination of a function bundled together (enclosed) with references to its surrounding state (the lexical environment)

JavaScript Basics

function sayHello() {
  var name = 'John';

  function withGreeting() {
    console.log('Hello, ' + name);
  }
  
  withGreeting();
}

sayHello(); // Hello, John

Scope

JavaScript Basics

function sum(a) {
  return function(b) {
    return function(c) {
      return function (d) {
        return function (e) {
          console.log(a + b + c + d + e);
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

sum(1)(2)(3)(4)(5); // 15

Depth

JavaScript Basics

var numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

function asyncLog(arr) {
  for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    setTimeout(function() {
      console.log(i, arr[i]);  
    }, 1000 * i)
  }
}

asyncLog(numbers);

Evaluation

JavaScript Basics

// IIFE
var id = (function() {
  var current = 0;
  
  function next() {
    return ++current;
  }
  
  function reset() {
    current = 0;
  }
  
  return { next, reset }
})(); 

id.next(); // 1
id.next(); // 2
id.reset();
id.next(); // 1
