Object.keys
I adore JavaScript objects. Love them. You're probably asking "well, why don't you marry them?" Trust me: if I could, I would. Arrays are nice and all but object keys provide another level of structure and information that is invaluable. For example, it's much faster search an object for a key than it is to search an array for value presence.
The way we've always iterated on an Object instance was always a for loops with a hasOwnProperty check which was ugly; Object.keys (not Object.prototype.keys) provides an array of Object properties!
var person = {
firstName: 'David',
lastName: 'Walsh',
// ...
};
Object.keys(person).forEach(function(trait) {
console.log('Person ', trait,': ', person[trait]);
});
If you work with JSON or simply raw JavaScript objects, and you haven't been using Object.keys, now is the time to ditch the old method for this elegant solution!
![Create Namespaced Classes with MooTools]()
MooTools has always gotten a bit of grief for not inherently using and standardizing namespaced-based JavaScript classes like the Dojo Toolkit does. Many developers create their classes as globals which is generally frowned up. I mostly disagree with that stance, but each to their own. In any event...
![7 Essential JavaScript Functions]()
I remember the early days of JavaScript where you needed a simple function for just about everything because the browser vendors implemented features differently, and not just edge features, basic features, like addEventListener and attachEvent. Times have changed but there are still a few functions each developer should...
![JavaScript Copy to Clipboard]()
"Copy to clipboard" functionality is something we all use dozens of times daily but the client side API around it has always been lacking; some older APIs and browser implementations required a scary "are you sure?"-style dialog before the content would be copied to clipboard -- not great for...
![Create a Dynamic Flickr Image Search with the Dojo Toolkit]()
The Dojo Toolkit is a treasure chest of great JavaScript classes. You can find basic JavaScript functionality classes for AJAX, node manipulation, animations, and the like within Dojo. You can find elegant, functional UI widgets like DropDown Menus, tabbed interfaces, and form element replacements within...
Why don’t you use this:
for (let trait in person){console.log(trait)}@Franz,
for..in iterating over NON own properties.
Not very well supported http://caniuse.com/#feat=let
Obligatory https://babeljs.io/
Also would iterate over prototype properties.
The
for each...instatement is deprecated as the part of ECMA-357 (E4X) standard. E4X support has been removed, butfor each...inwill not be disabled and removed because of backward compatibility considerations. Consider usingfor...ofinstead. (Please refer to bug 791343.)Also: Use
const, not let. The loop creates a new context in each iteration, the loop variable therefore is constant unless your loop-code changes it.
