JavaScript – first impressions
DOM/BOM ¤ These days libraries can take care of most pains
¤ Let’s focus on the core JavaScript (ECMAScript) language
JavaScript core ¤ C-like syntax ¤ Small built-in API ¤ (I’ll show
you most of it in 15 minutes)
Strange things ¤ Functions are objects ¤ Functions provide scope ¤ Closures (in
PHP since 5.3) ¤ Prototypes ¤ No classes
Syntax Mostly the same as PHP
Variables var n = 1; $n = 1;
Variables var b = true; $b = true;
Variables var s = "confoo"; $s = "confoo";
Arrays var a = [1,2,3]; $a = array(1,2,3);
Assoc arrays var o = { "one": 1, "two": 2
}; $o = array( "one" => 1, "two" => 2 );
if if (1 === 1) { universe = "fine"; };
if (1 === 1) { $universe = "fine"; };
falsy values 0, "", false, undefined, null 0 == ""
// true 0 === "" // false
switch var a = 1; var result = ""; switch
(a) { case 1: // strict comparison result = "a is 1"; break; default: result = "@#$"; }
try-catch try { throw new Error('ouch'); } catch (e) {
msg = e.message; } try { throw new Exception('ouch'); } catch (Exception $e) { $msg = $e->getMessage(); }
while var i = 0, out = ''; while (i
< 100) { out += ++i + ","; } $i = 0; $out = ''; while ($i < 100) { $out .= ++$i . ","; }
do-while var i = 0, out = ''; do {
out += ++i + ","; } while (i < 100); $i = 0; $out = ''; do { $out .= ++$i . ","; } while ($i < 100);
for for (var i = 0, out = ''; i
< 100; i++) { out += i + ','; } for ($i = 0, $out = ''; $i < 100; $i++) { $out .= $i . ','; }
for-in/foreach for (var k in stuff) { keys += k;
values += stuff[k]; } foreach ($stuff as $k => $v) { $keys .= $k; $values .= $v; }
function function junction(a, b) { return a * b; }
function junction($a, $b) { return $a * $b; }
function function junction(a, b) { b = b || 2;
return a * b; } function junction($a, $b = 2) { return $a * $b; }
function function junction(a, b) { b = typeof b !==
"undefined" ? b : 2; return a * b; } function junction($a, $b = 2) { return $a * $b; }
functions are objects var junction = function (a, b) {
return a * b; }; junction(3, 4); // 12 junction.length; // 2
functions are objects junction.call(null, 3, 4); // 12 junction.apply(null, [3,
4]); // 12 call_user_func('junction', 3, 4); call_user_func_array('junction', array(3, 4));
closures var junction = function (a, b) { return a
* b; }; junction(3, 4); // 12 $junction = function($a, $b) { return $a * $b; }; $junction(3, 4); // 12
function scope $a = function() { $c = 3; $b
= function($a, $b) { return $c * $a * $b; }; return $b; }; $b = $a(); $b(1, 2); // 0 in PHP, 6 in JS
Constructors/Classes var fido = new Dog(); $fido = new Dog();
PHP Class class Dog { var $name; function __construct($name) {
$this->name = $name; } function getName() { return $this->name; } } $fido = new Dog("Fido"); $fido->getName(); // Fido
JS constructor function function Dog (name) { this.name = name;
this.getName = function () { return this.name; }; } var fido = new Dog("Fido"); fido.getName();
JS constructor function ¤ Constructors are just functions ¤ Functions called with
new… ¤ …return this… ¤ …implicitly.
Constructor and prototype function Dog (name) { this.name = name;
} Dog.prototype.getName = function () { return this.name; }; var fido = new Dog("Fido"); fido.getName();
Prototypes ¤ Every function has a prototype property ¤ It’s useless, unless
… ¤ … the functions is called with new.
Constructor and prototype function Dog (name) { this.name = name;
} Dog.prototype.getName = function () { return this.name; }; var fido = new Dog("Fido"); fido.getName(); // Fido
Object literals var fido = { name: "Fido", getName: function()
{ return this.name; } }; fido.getName(); // Fido
Object literals var fido = {};
Object literals var fido = {}; fido.name = "Fido";
Object literals var fido = { name: "Fido" }; fido.name;
// Fido
Object literals var fido = { name: "Fido", getName: function()
{ return this.name; } }; fido.getName(); // Fido
Literals var fido = {}; fido.name = "Fido"; $fido =
(object) array(); $fido->name = "Fido"; $fido = new stdClass(); $fido->name = "Fido";
Literals in PHP $fido = (object)array(); $fido->name = 'Fido'; $fido->getName
= function() { return $GLOBALS['fido']->name; }; $method = $fido->getName; echo $method();
Literals in PHP $fido = new JSObject(); $fido->name = 'Fido';
$fido->getName = function($self) { return $self->name; }; $fido->getName(); // Fido
Literals in PHP class JSObject { function __call($name, $args) {
if (is_callable($this->$name)) { array_unshift($args, $this); return call_user_func_array($this->$name, $args); } } }
Funny operators ¤ typeof ¤ typeof 1; // "number" ¤
typeof(1); ¤ instanceof ¤ ([1,2]) instanceof Array; // true ¤ ([1,2]) instanceof Object; // true ¤ delete ¤ var o = {a: 1}; delete o.a; o.a; // undefined ¤ void ¤ returns undefined whatever the operand
The built-in API In 15 minutes or less
Global object ¤ something Like $GLOBALS[] but object ¤ May or may
not be accessible directly ¤ Accessible as window in browsers
3 global properties ¤ NaN ¤ Infinity ¤ undefined
9 global functions ¤ 4 number-related ¤ parseInt() ¤ parseFloat() ¤
isNaN() ¤ isFinite() ¤ 4 to encode/decode URIs ¤ encodeURIComponent() ¤ decodeURIComponent() ¤ encodeURI() ¤ decodeURI() ¤ eval() PHP: intval() floatval() is_nan() is_finite() urlencode() urldecode() ??() ??() eval()
9+ constructors ¤ Object() ¤ Array() ¤ RegExp() ¤ Function() ¤ String() ¤ Number() ¤ Boolean() ¤ Error(),
SyntaxError()… ¤ Date()
We don’t need no constructors ¤ object literals // yep var
o = {}; // nope var o = new Object();
We don’t need no constructors ¤ array literals // yep var
a = []; // nope var a = new Array();
We don’t need no constructors ¤ regular expression literals // yep
var re = /[a-z]/gmi; // proly nope var re = new RegExp("[a-z]", "gmi");
We don’t need no constructors ¤ functions // yep var f
= function(a, b) {return a + b;}; // yep function f(a, b) {return a + b;} // nope var f = new Function("a, b", "return a + b;");
We don’t need no constructors ¤ strings // yep var s
= "confoo"; // nope var s = new String("confoo"); s.substr(3); // "foo" "confoo".substr(0, 4); // "conf"
We don’t need no constructors ¤ numbers // yep var n
= 1.2345; // nope var n = new Number(1.2345); n.toFixed(2); // 1.23
We don’t need no constructors ¤ boolean // yep var b
= true; // nope, why would you ever var b = new Boolean(true);
We don’t need no constructors ¤ Errors throw new Error("Ouch"); //
but you could also throw { name: "MyError", message: "Ouch" };
Constructors ¤ Object() ¤ Array() ¤ RegExp() ¤ Function() ¤
String() ¤ Number() ¤ Boolean() ¤ Error(), SyntaxError()… ¤ Date()
The built-in API (contd.) Properties and methods
Object.prototype var o = {}; o.toString(); // "[object Object]" o.toLocaleString();
// "[object Object]" o.valueOf() === o; // true o.hasOwnProperty('toString'); // false o.propertyIsEnumerable('toString'); // false o.isPrototypeOf(Array); // false o.constructor === Object; // true
Array.prototype var a = [1,2,3,4]; a.length; // 4 a.push('dude'); //
5, the length a.pop(); // "dude" a.unshift('dude'); // 5, the length a.shift(); // "dude" a.concat(5,6,7); // [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
Array.prototype a.sort(callback); a.indexOf(3); // 2 a.lastIndexOf(3); // 2 a.slice(1, 3);
// [2, 3] a.splice(...); // remove and add a.reverse(); // [4, 3, 2, 1] a.join(' > '); // implode()
RegExp.prototype var re = /[a-z]/gmi; re.exec("somestring"); // returns matches re.test("somestring");
// returns true|false re.lastIndex; re.source; // "[a-z]" /[0-9]/g.global; // true /[0-9]/m.multiline; // true /[0-9]/i.ignoreCase; // true
Function.prototype ¤ length ¤ name // not standard ¤ call() ¤ apply()
String.prototype var s = "confoo"; s.length; // 6 s.indexOf('o'); //
1 s.lastIndexOf('o'); // 5 s.charAt(1); // "o" s.charCodeAt(1); // 111
String.prototype s.toLowerCase(); s.toUppercase(); s.toLocaleLowerCase(); s.toLocaleUpperCase(); s.localeCompare();
String.prototype s.split(/f/); // ["con", "oo"] s.concat('.ca'); // "confoo.ca" s.search(/foo/); //
3 s.replace(/o/g, "@"); // c@nf@@ s.match(/[a-z]/g); // ["c", "o", "n", .. s.slice(3, 6); // "foo" s.substring(0, 3); // "con", substr() too
Number.protoype new Number(123).toFixed(2); // "123.00" (1000000000000).toExponential(); // "1e+12" (1000000000000).toPrecision(3); //
"1.00e+12" Number.MAX_VALUE; // 1.7976931348623157e+308 Number.MIN_VALUE; // 5e-324 Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY; // Infinity Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY; // -Infinity Number.NaN; // NaN
Math ¤ Not a constructor ¤ Constants Math.E, Math.PI... and 6 more
¤ Methods Math.min(), Math.max(), Math.random(), Math.sin() ... and 14 more
Error.prototype ¤ name ¤ message
Date.prototype ¤ You’re on your own! var d = new Date(2011,
3, 11); d.getDate(); d.getDay(); d.getFullYear(); d.getHours(); d.getMilliseconds(); d.getMinutes(); d.getMonth(); d.getSeconds(); d.getTime(); d.getTimezoneOffset(); d.getUTCDate(); d.getUTCDay(); d.getUTCFullYear(); d.getUTCHours(); d.getUTCMilliseconds(); d.getUTCMinutes(); d.getUTCMonth(); d.getUTCSeconds(); d.getYear(); d.setDate(); d.setFullYear(); d.setHours(); d.setMilliseconds(); d.setMinutes(); d.setMonth(); d.setSeconds(); d.setTime(); d.setUTCDate(); d.setUTCFullYear(); d.setUTCHours(); d.setUTCMilliseconds(); d.setUTCMinutes(); d.setUTCMonth(); d.setUTCSeconds(); d.setYear(); d.toDateString(); d.toGMTString(); d.toLocaleDateString(); d.toLocaleFormat(); d.toLocaleTimeString(); d.toString(); d.toTimeString(); d.toUTCString(); Date.now(); Date.parse(); Date.UTC();
Constructors ¤ Object() ¤ Array() ¤ RegExp() ¤ Function() ¤
String() ¤ Number() + Math ¤ Boolean() ¤ Error(), SyntaxError()… ¤ Date()
