Conditionals
- IF statement
if (expression){
//code if true
} else if (expression){
//code if second expression is true
} else {
//code if all expressions are false
}
- Ternary Operator
expression ? resultIfTrue : resultIfFalse
- Switch Statements
switch(value){
case possibleMatch:
//code if match
break
default:
//code if no case matches
break
}
Loops
- while loops
while(expression){
//code to repeat as long as expression is true
}
- for loops
for(initiateCounter; expression; adjustCounter){
//code will that will as long as expression is true
}
- for of loops
for (item of iterable){
//code that will run for each item in iterable (array, set, map) and on each loop the current item will be stored in "item"
}
- for in loops (for objects)
for(key in object){
//loops over object keys, access value with object[key]
}
- forEach Array Method
Array.forEach((item) => {
// code to run for each item in the array, each item will take turns being stored in "item"
})
Functions
function myFunc(){
//code to run when function invoked
}
hoisted, can use this keyword
const myFunc = function(){
//code to run when function is invoked
}
not hoisted, can use this keyword
const myFunc = () => {
//code to run when the function is invoked
}
not hoisted, can't use this keyword
Arrays
-
const arr = [1,2,3]
declare an array -
arr[0]
access an array value -
const [one, two, three] = arr
array destructuring -
const arrCopy = [...originalArr]
copy array -
const dupeFree = [...new Set(arr)]
remove duplicates
Objects
-
const obj = {one: 1, two: 2}
declare an object -
obj.one
accessing property with dot notation -
obj["two"]
accessing property with square brackets -
const {one, two} = obj
object destructuring -
const objCopy = {...originalObj}
copy an object
DOM Manipulation
-
document.querySelector('h1')
return the first matching node -
document.querySelectorAll('h1')
return array of all matching nodes -
node.innerHTML
property containing string to parsed as html in the node -
node.innerText
property containing string to be parsed as text in the node -
node.style
object containing all CSS properties of ndoe -
parentNode.appendChild(childNode)
append a node as a child of a node -
node.addEventListener("click", someFunction)
add event listener, function will run whenever specified event occurs -
document.createElement("h1")
create a node
