  • $.inArray()
  • Yelp API fun!

$.inArray()

  • Searches whether a given value is in an Array
  • Returns the index of the value, if found.
  • Returns -1 if not found.

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

 var threeIndex = $.inArray(3, anArray);
 //threeIndex equals 2

 var eightIndex = $.inArray(8, anArray);
 //eightIndex equals -1, because it isn't in the array

yelp api fun

  • API homepage
  • No authentication needed (you're welcome)
  • Can output JSONP
    • In $.ajax(), set the dataType property to 'jsonp'
  • Returns raw results from Yelp API
  • Requests limited to 100 per hour (don't go crazy)

cool js thing for the day

Lots of JavaScript and web meetups all around Seattle, usually completely for free.
