Block Scoping Each BLOCK has got its lexical environment let/const
bind variables to the lexical environment Variables declared with let/const are NOT hoisted
var vs let (function() { console.log(y) // “undefined” if (true)
{ var y = “value”; } console.log(y) // “value” }());
var vs let (function() { if (true) { let y
= “value”; } console.log(y) // ERROR!! }()); (function() { console.log(y) // “undefined” if (true) { var y = “value”; } console.log(y) // “value” }());
const (function() { const X; X = “foo”; // ERROR:
x unitialized }()); (function() { const X = “foo”; X = “foo2”; // ERROR: x is read-only }());
Block functions if (true) { function fn () {} }
! fn(); // ERROR!
Destructing array var [x,y] = [‘a’, ‘b’]; ! console.log(x); //
‘a’ ! console.log(y); // ‘b’ ! ! var [x,y] = [y, x]; ! console.log(x); // ‘b’
Destructing object var obj = {width: 50, height: 100}; !
! var {width: w, height: h} = obj; var {width, height} = obj; ! ! console.log(width); // 50 console.log(w); // 50 console.log(height); // 100 console.log(h); // 100
Multiple return value var fn = function(){ return [“50”, “100”];
} ! var [width, height] = fn(); ! console.log(width); //50 console.log(height); //100
var fn = function(){ return { foo: “bar”, fizz: “buzz”
} } ! var {foo, fizz} = fn(); ! console.log(foo); //“bar” console.log(fizz); //“buzz”
Parameter default values function(foo) { foo = foo || “a”;
}
function(foo) { foo = foo || “a”; } function(foo =
“a”) {} Parameter default values
function fn(…args) { console.log(args); //[“a”, “b”, “c”] args.forEach(function(arg) { console.log(arg);
