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 a CSS Flipping Animation]()
CSS animations are a lot of fun; the beauty of them is that through many simple properties, you can create anything from an elegant fade in to a WTF-Pixar-would-be-proud effect. One CSS effect somewhere in between is the CSS flip effect, whereby there's...
![An Interview with Eric Meyer]()
Your early CSS books were instrumental in pushing my love for front end technologies. What was it about CSS that you fell in love with and drove you to write about it?
At first blush, it was the simplicity of it as compared to the table-and-spacer...
![Vertically Centering with Flexbox]()
Vertically centering sibling child contents is a task we've long needed on the web but has always seemed way more difficult than it should be. We initially used tables to accomplish the task, then moved on to CSS and JavaScript tricks because table layout was horribly...
![Google Font API]()
Google recently debuted a new web service called the Font API. Google's Font API provides developers a means by which they may quickly and painlessly add custom fonts to their website. Let's take a quick look at the ways by which the Google Font...
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.
