ES6 Features
-
Let and Const:
-
letallows block-scoped variable declaration. -
constis used for constants, also block-scoped.
-
-
Arrow Functions:
- Shorter syntax for functions (e.g.,
const add = (a, b) => a + b;). - Lexical
thisbinding, which retains the context ofthis.
- Shorter syntax for functions (e.g.,
-
Template Literals:
- String interpolation with backticks (
`Hello ${name}`). - Multiline strings without concatenation.
- String interpolation with backticks (
-
Destructuring Assignment:
- Extract values from arrays or properties from objects (e.g.,
const {a, b} = obj;).
- Extract values from arrays or properties from objects (e.g.,
-
Spread and Rest Operators:
- Spread:
...expands an iterable (e.g.,const arr = [1, 2, ...otherArr];). - Rest:
...collects arguments into an array (e.g.,function sum(...args) {}).
- Spread:
-
Classes:
- Syntax for creating objects and inheritance (e.g.,
class Dog extends Animal {}).
- Syntax for creating objects and inheritance (e.g.,
-
Modules:
- Support for modular code using
importandexport.
- Support for modular code using
DOM Manipulation
-
Selecting Elements:
-
document.getElementById(),document.querySelector(),document.querySelectorAll().
-
-
Modifying Elements:
- Change content:
element.textContent,element.innerHTML. - Change styles:
element.style.property.
- Change content:
-
Creating and Removing Elements:
- Create:
document.createElement(). - Append:
parentElement.appendChild(childElement). - Remove:
parentElement.removeChild(childElement).
- Create:
-
Event Listeners:
-
element.addEventListener(event, handler)for handling events.
-
Async Programming
-
Callbacks: Functions passed as arguments to handle asynchronous operations.
-
Promises:
- Objects representing the eventual completion (or failure) of an asynchronous operation.
- Methods:
.then(),.catch(),.finally().
-
Async/Await:
- Syntactic sugar over promises for cleaner asynchronous code.
- Use
asyncfunction to wrap code andawaitto pause execution until promise resolves.
JavaScript Frameworks
-
React:
- Component-based architecture for building user interfaces.
- Utilizes a virtual DOM for optimized rendering.
-
Angular:
- Full-fledged framework for building web applications with TypeScript.
- Features two-way data binding and dependency injection.
-
Vue.js:
- Progressive framework for building user interfaces.
- Combines features from React and Angular for flexibility.
-
Node.js:
- Runtime environment that allows JavaScript to be run on the server side.
- Uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model.
Event Handling
-
Event Types:
- Click, mouseover, keypress, etc.
-
Adding Event Handlers:
- Use
addEventListener()to attach functions to events.
- Use
-
Event Propagation:
- Bubbling: Events bubble up from child to parent elements.
- Capturing: Events capture down from parent to child elements.
-
Prevent Default Behavior:
- Use
event.preventDefault()to prevent default action (e.g., preventing form submission).
- Use
-
Event Delegation:
- Attach a single event listener to a parent element to manage events for multiple child elements.
ES6 Features
-
Let and Const:
-
letenables block-level variable scoping, allowing variables to be limited to the block, statement, or expression where they are defined. -
constdeclares block-scoped constants that cannot be reassigned after their initial value.
-
-
Arrow Functions:
- Provide a concise syntax for function expressions (e.g.,
const add = (a, b) => a + b;). - Maintain the lexical context of
this, making them particularly useful for callbacks and methods.
- Provide a concise syntax for function expressions (e.g.,
-
Template Literals:
- Allow for easy string interpolation using backticks (
`Hello ${name}`). - Enable multiline strings without the need for concatenation, enhancing readability.
- Allow for easy string interpolation using backticks (
-
Destructuring Assignment:
- Facilitates unpacking values from arrays and properties from objects in a more intuitive way (e.g.,
const {a, b} = obj;).
- Facilitates unpacking values from arrays and properties from objects in a more intuitive way (e.g.,
-
Spread and Rest Operators:
- Spread operator (
...) allows the expansion of iterable elements into a new array or argument list (e.g.,const arr = [1, 2,...otherArr];). - Rest operator (
...) collects multiple arguments into an array for easier handling in functions (e.g.,function sum(...args) {}).
- Spread operator (
-
Classes:
- Introduce a cleaner syntax for creating objects and handling inheritance (e.g.,
class Dog extends Animal {}).
- Introduce a cleaner syntax for creating objects and handling inheritance (e.g.,
-
Modules:
- Support the modular structure of code through
importandexportstatements, promoting reusable components.
- Support the modular structure of code through
DOM Manipulation
-
Selecting Elements:
- Use methods like
document.getElementById(),document.querySelector(), anddocument.querySelectorAll()to access DOM elements effectively.
- Use methods like
-
Modifying Elements:
- Change the content of elements directly using
element.textContentorelement.innerHTML. - Modify styles dynamically via
element.style.property.
- Change the content of elements directly using
-
Creating and Removing Elements:
- Create new elements with
document.createElement(), allowing for dynamic content generation. - Append or remove elements using
parentElement.appendChild(childElement)orparentElement.removeChild(childElement).
- Create new elements with
-
Event Listeners:
- Attach event handlers using
element.addEventListener(event, handler)to respond to user interactions.
- Attach event handlers using
Async Programming
-
Callbacks:
- Functions that are passed as arguments and are executed after a particular event or completion of a task, commonly used for asynchronous operations.
-
Promises:
- Represent the eventual completion (or failure) of an asynchronous operation, providing a more manageable way to handle asynchronous code.
- Support methods such as
.then(),.catch(), and.finally()for streamlined success/failure handling.
-
Async/Await:
- Syntactical sugar built on top of promises, allowing for simpler writing of asynchronous code.
- Define an
asyncfunction to wrap code and useawaitto pause execution until the promise settles.
JavaScript Frameworks
-
React:
- A component-based library designed for building user interfaces with a focus on a virtual DOM to enhance performance.
-
Angular:
- A comprehensive framework leveraging TypeScript, featuring robust architecture with support for two-way data binding and dependency injection.
-
Vue.js:
- A progressive JavaScript framework combining features from both React and Angular, providing flexibility in UI development.
-
Node.js:
- A server-side runtime environment allowing JavaScript to run outside of the browser, driven by an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model.
Event Handling
-
Event Types:
- Various user interactions can trigger events, including click, mouseover, and keypress.
-
Adding Event Handlers:
- Use
addEventListener()to link specific functions to events, enhancing interactivity.
- Use
-
Event Propagation:
- Bubbling: Events propagate from child elements to parent elements.
- Capturing: Events capture from parent elements to child elements before reaching the target.
-
Prevent Default Behavior:
- Use
event.preventDefault()to stop the default action associated with an event, such as form submissions.
- Use
-
Event Delegation:
- Attach a single event listener to a parent element to manage events for multiple child elements efficiently, optimizing performance and reducing memory usage.
