Introduction

JavaScript is a scripting language. It is object-based, lightweight, cross-platform translated language. It is widely used for client-side validation.

Add JavaScript

There are three ways to add JavaScript to a web page:

Inline JavaScript - It is used to add JavaScript directly to the HTML document. It is added inside the <script> tag in the HTML document.
Internal JavaScript - It is used to add JavaScript to the HTML document. It is added inside the <script> tag in the <head> or <body> section of the HTML document.
External JavaScript - It is used to add JavaScript to the HTML document. It is added in a separate file with a .js extension and linked to the HTML document using the <script> tag.

JavaScript in <head> -

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
    //code
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Heading</h2>
</body>
</html>

JavaScript in <body>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h2>Heading</h2>

<script>
    //code
</script>

</body>
</html>

External JavaScript -

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h2>Heading</h2>

<script src="myScript.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Outputing JavaScript

JavaScript can "display" data in different ways

1. Writing into an HTML element, using innerHTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>My First Web Page</h1>
<p>My First Paragraph</p>

<p id="demo"></p>

<script>
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = 5 + 6;
</script>

</body>
</html>

2. Writing into an HTML element, using document.write()

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>My First Web Page</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>

<script>
document.write(5 + 6);
</script>

</body>
</html>

3. Writing into an alert box, using window.alert()

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>My First Web Page</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>

<script>
window.alert(5 + 6);
</script>

</body>
</html>

4. Writing into the browser console, using console.log()

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<script>
console.log(5 + 6);
</script>

</body>
</html>

Variables

Variables are containers for storing data values. In JavaScript, variables are declared using the var, let, or const keyword.

Declare Variables

There are three ways to declare variables in JavaScript:

1. var - It is used to declare a variable. It is function-scoped.

var a = 1; // Declare a variable x with the value 1 (function-level scope).

2. let - It is used to declare a variable. It is block-scoped.

let b = 1; // Declare a variable y with the value 10 (block-level scope).

3. const - It is used to declare a read-only variable. It is block-scoped.

const c = 1; // Declare a read-only variable z with the value 15 (block-level scope).

Data Types

Data types are used to define the type of data that a variable can store. JavaScript is a loosely typed language, which means that you do not have to declare the data type of a variable when you declare it.

There are two types of data types in JavaScript:

Primitive Data Types
Non-Primitive Data Types

1. Primitive Data Types

Primitive data types are the most basic data types in JavaScript. They are immutable (cannot be changed) and are copied by value.

Primitive data types include:

numbers
strings
booleans
null
undefined
symbol

numbers - numbers can be written with or without decimals.

let number = 10;

strings - strings are text. They are written inside double or single quotes.

let name = "Manthan";

booleans - booleans can only have two values: true or false.

let value1 = true;
let value2 = false;

null - null is an empty value.

let value = null;

undefined - undefined means a variable has been declared but has not yet been assigned a value.

let name;

symbol - symbols are unique and immutable values.

let a = Symbol();

Back to Top⤴️

2. Non Primitive Data Types

Non-primitive data types are complex data types that are mutable (can be changed) and are copied by reference.

Non-primitive data types include:

objects
arrays
functions
regexp

functions - functions are objects that can be invoked.

function greet() {
  return "Hello!";
}

object - objects are used to store collections of data and more complex entities.

let name = {firstName:"Manthan", lastName:"Ank"};

arrays - arrays are used to store multiple values in a single variable.

let array = ["value1", "value2"];

regexp - regular expressions are used to perform pattern-matching in strings.

let pattern = /w3schools/i;

Conditional (Ternary) Operator

The conditional (ternary) operator is the only JavaScript operator that takes three operands: a condition followed by a question mark (?), then an expression to execute if the condition is truthy followed by a colon (:), and finally the expression to execute if the condition is falsy.

Syntax

(condition) ? x : y

let x = 10;
let y = 5;

let result = (x > y) ? "x is greater than y" : "x is less than y";

console.log(result); // Output: "x is greater than y"

Nullish Coalescing Operator(??)

The nullish coalescing operator (??) is a new operator in JavaScript that returns the right-hand operand when the left-hand operand is null or undefined.

Example

let x = null;
let y = undefined;
let z = 'Hello';

console.log(x ?? 'Default Value'); // Output: "Default Value"
console.log(y ?? 'Default Value'); // Output: "Default Value"
console.log(z ?? 'Default Value'); // Output: "Hello"

Back to Top⤴️

Optional Chaining Operator(?.)

The optional chaining operator (?.) is a new operator in JavaScript that allows you to access properties of an object without having to check if the object or its properties are null or undefined.

Example

let person = {
  name: 'John',
  age: 30,
  address: {
    street: '123 Main St',
    city: 'New York',
    state: 'NY'
  }
};

console.log(person.address?.city); // Output: "New York"
console.log(person.address?.zipCode); // Output: undefined

delete Operator

The delete operator is used to delete a property from an object.

Example

const person = {
  firstName:"Manthan",
  lastName:"Ank",
  age:25,
  eyeColor:"black"
};

delete person.age;

console.log(person); // Output: {firstName: "Manthan", lastName: "Ank", eyeColor: "black"}

Back to Top⤴️

Spread (...) Operator

The spread operator is a new addition to the JavaScript language in ES6. It is denoted by three dots (...). It is used to expand an array or object into individual elements.

Example

// Array literal
let numbers = [1, 2, 3];
let newNumbers = [...numbers, 4, 5, 6];
console.log(newNumbers); // Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

// Object literal
let person = {name: 'John', age: 30};
let newPerson = {...person, city: 'New York', country: 'USA'};
console.log(newPerson); // Output: {name: "John", age: 30, city: "New York", country: "USA"}

// Function call
function sum(a, b, c) {
  return a + b + c;
}
let numbers = [1, 2, 3];
console.log(sum(...numbers)); // Output: 6

// Copy an array
let numbers = [1, 2, 3];
let newNumbers = [...numbers];
console.log(newNumbers); // Output: [1, 2, 3]

Async

Asynchronous programming allows you to run multiple tasks concurrently without blocking the main thread. JavaScript provides several ways to work with asynchronous code, including callbacks, promises, and async/await.

Callbacks

A callback function is a function passed into another function as an argument, which is then invoked inside the outer function to complete some kind of routine or action.

function myDisplayer(some) {
  document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = some;
}

function myCalculator(num1, num2, myCallback) {
  let sum = num1 + num2;
  myCallback(sum);
}

myCalculator(5, 5, myDisplayer);

// Output: 10

Asynchronous JavaScript

JavaScript is a single-threaded language, which means it can only execute one task at a time. Asynchronous JavaScript allows you to run multiple tasks concurrently without blocking the main thread.

let myPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  setTimeout(() => {
    resolve("The async operation was successful");
  }, 1000);
});

myPromise.then((value) => {
  console.log(value);
});

// Output: The async operation was successful

Promise

A promise is an object that represents the eventual completion (or failure) of an asynchronous operation and its resulting value.

Syntax -

const myPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    // code
});

myPromise.then(
    (value) => {
        // success
    },
    (error) => {
        // error
    }
);

myPromise.catch(
    (error) => {
        // error
    }
);

myPromise.finally(
    () => {
        // code
    }
);

myPromise.all([promise1, promise2, promise3, ...])

Example

const myPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    setTimeout(() => {
        resolve("The async operation was successful");
    }, 1000);
});

myPromise.then((value) => {
    console.log(value);
});

// Output: The async operation was successful

Back to Top⤴️

async/await

The async/await syntax allows you to write asynchronous code that looks synchronous. The async keyword is used to define an asynchronous function, and the await keyword is used to wait for a promise to be resolved.

Async Syntax

async function myFunction() {
    // code
}

Await Syntax

let result = await promise;

// or

await promise;

Example

async function myFunction() {
    let promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        setTimeout(() => resolve("The async operation was successful"), 1000);
    });

    let result = await promise;
    console.log(result);
}

myFunction();

// Output: The async operation was successful

AJAX

AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a technique used in web development to create asynchronous web applications. It allows you to update parts of a web page without reloading the entire page. Originally, XML (eXtensible Markup Language) was commonly used for data exchange, but modern AJAX implementations often use JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) for data interchange due to its lighter syntax.

XMLHttp - The XMLHttpRequest object is used to interact with servers asynchronously. Here's an example of creating an XMLHttpRequest object

let xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();

Request - To make a request to a server, you'll typically use methods like open() and send()

xhttp.open('GET', 'https://api.example.com/data', true); // Method, URL, async (true or false)
xhttp.send(); // Send the request

You can also send data along with the request by passing parameters within the send() method.

Back to Top⤴️

Response - Handling the response from the server can be done using event listeners like onreadystatechange and checking for the readyState and status of the request

xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
  if (this.readyState === 4 && this.status === 200) {
    // Handle successful response
    console.log(this.responseText); // Response data
  } else {
    // Handle errors
    console.error('There was a problem with the request.');
  }
};

XML File - If you are working with an XML file, you can parse the response using methods like responseXML to access the XML data

xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
  if (this.readyState === 4 && this.status === 200) {
    let xmlDoc = this.responseXML;
    // Process xmlDoc for XML data
    console.log(xmlDoc);
  }
};

JSON

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. JSON is a text format that is completely language-independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others.

JSON Methods

There are two methods in JSON

JSON.parse()
JSON.stringify()

parse() - Parses a JSON string and returns a JavaScript object

stringify() - Convert a JavaScript object to a JSON string

Data Types

a string
a number
an object (containing valid JSON values)
an array
a boolean
null

Back to Top⤴️

String:

const str = "Hello, World!";

Number:

const num = 42;

Object:

const obj = {
  name: "John",
  age: 30,
  city: "New York"
};

Array:

const arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

Boolean:

const bool = true;

Null:

const nullValue = null;

Back to Top⤴️

Parse - The parse() method is used to parse a JSON string and convert it into a JavaScript object.

const jsonString = '{"name": "John", "age": 30}';
const jsonObject = JSON.parse(jsonString);
console.log(jsonObject); // Output: { name: 'John', age: 30 }

Stringify - The stringify() method is used to convert a JavaScript object into a JSON string.

const jsonObject = { name: 'John', age: 30 };
const jsonString = JSON.stringify(jsonObject);
console.log(jsonString); // Output: '{"name":"John","age":30}'

Objects - Objects in JSON are key-value pairs enclosed in curly braces {}.

const person = {
  "name": "Alice",
  "age": 30,
  "address": {
    "city": "New York",
    "zipcode": "10001"
  }
};

Best Practices

Avoid Global Variables - Avoid using global variables in JavaScript.

// Bad
var name = "Alice";

// Good
const name = "Alice";

Avoid Declare Local Variables - Avoid declaring local variables without using the var, let, or const keyword.

// Bad
name = "Alice";

// Good
const name = "Alice";

Declarations on Top - Declare all variables at the beginning of every script or function.

// Bad
function myFunction() {
  console.log("Hello, World!");
  var name = "Alice";
}

// Good
function myFunction() {
  var name = "Alice";
  console.log("Hello, World!");
}

Back to Top⤴️

Intialize Variables - Always initialize variables when you declare them.

// Bad
let name;

// Good
let name = "Alice";

Declare Objects with const - Use const to declare objects.

// Bad
let person = {
  name: "Alice",
  age: 30
};

// Good
const person = {
  name: "Alice",

Short Hands

JavaScript offers several shorthand techniques to write code more concisely and improve readability. Here are some common JavaScript shorthand techniques:

Ternary Operator:

Instead of using an if-else statement, you can use the ternary operator for concise conditional expressions.

// Long form
let result;
if (condition) {
    result = 'true';
} else {
    result = 'false';
}

// Shorthand
let result = condition ? 'true' : 'false';

Nullish Coalescing Operator (??):

This operator provides a concise way to provide a default value if a variable is null or undefined.

// Long form
let value;
if (value !== null && value !== undefined) {
    result = value;
} else {
    result = 'default';
}

// Shorthand
let result = value ?? 'default';

Arrow Functions:

Arrow functions provide a concise syntax for writing function expressions.

// Long form
function add(x, y) {
    return x + y;
}

// Shorthand
const add = (x, y) => x + y;

Template Literals:

Template literals make it easier to concatenate strings and include variables within strings.

// Long form
const greeting = 'Hello, ' + name + '!';

// Shorthand
const greeting = `Hello, ${name}!`;

Object Property Shorthand:

When creating an object with properties that have the same name as the variables being assigned, you can use shorthand notation.

// Long form
const name = 'John';
const age = 30;
const user = {
    name: name,
    age: age
};

// Shorthand
const user = {
    name,
    age
};

Destructuring Assignment:

Destructuring allows you to extract values from arrays or objects and assign them to variables in a concise way.

// Long form
const person = { name: 'John', age: 30 };
const name = person.name;
const age = person.age;

// Shorthand
const { name, age } = { name: 'John', age: 30 };

Default Parameters:

Default parameters allow you to specify default values for function parameters.

// Long form
function greet(name) {
    if (name === undefined) {
        name = 'World';
    }
    console.log('Hello, ' + name + '!');
}

// Shorthand
function greet(name = 'World') {
    console.log('Hello, ' + name + '!');
}

Array and Object Spread:

The spread operator (...) allows you to spread the elements of an array or object into another array or object.

// Long form
const numbers = [1, 2, 3];
const newNumbers = [...numbers, 4, 5];

// Shorthand
const newNumbers = [...numbers, 4, 5];

// Long form
const person = { name: 'John', age: 30 };

const updatedPerson = {
    name: person.name,
    age: person.age,
    profession: 'Developer
};

// Shorthand
const updatedPerson = { ...person, profession: 'Developer };

Array Destructuring:

Array destructuring allows you to extract values from arrays and assign them to variables in a concise way.

// Long form
const numbers = [1, 2, 3];
const first = numbers[0];
const second = numbers[1];

// Shorthand
const [first, second] = [1, 2, 3];

Object Destructuring:

Object destructuring allows you to extract values from objects and assign them to variables in a concise way.

// Long form
const person = { name: 'John', age: 30 };
const name = person.name;
const age = person.age;

// Shorthand
const { name, age } = { name: 'John', age: 30 };

Short-Circuit Evaluation:

Short-circuit evaluation allows you to write concise conditional expressions using logical operators.

// Long form
let result;
if (condition) {
    result = value;
} else {
    result = 'default';
}

// Shorthand
let result = condition && value || 'default';

// Long form
let result;
if (condition) {
    result = 'true';
} else {
    result = 'false';
}

// Shorthand
let result = condition ? 'true' : 'false';

// Long form
let result;

if (value !== null && value !== undefined) {
    result = value;
} else {
    result = 'default';
}

// Shorthand
let result = value ?? 'default';

Logical Assignment Operators:

Logical assignment operators provide a concise way to update a variable based on a condition.

// Long form
let count = 0;
if (count === 0) {
    count = 1;
}

// Shorthand
let count = 0;
count ||= 1;

// Long form
let count = 0;
if (count === 0) {
    count += 1;
}

// Shorthand
let count = 0;
count += 1;

Optional Chaining:

Optional chaining allows you to access nested properties of an object without having to check for the existence of each property.

// Long form
let result;
if (data && data.user && data.user.name) {

Promise Chaining:

Promise chaining allows you to chain multiple asynchronous operations in a concise way.

// Long form
fetch('https://api.example.com/data')
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(data => {
        console.log(data);
        return fetch('https://api.example.com/other-data');
    })
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(otherData => console.log(otherData))
    .catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));

// Shorthand
fetch('https://api.example.com/data')
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(data => console.log(data))
    .then(() => fetch('https://api.example.com/other-data'))
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(otherData => console.log(otherData))
    .catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));

Async/Await:

Async/await provides a more concise way to work with asynchronous code compared to promises.

// Long form

}

fetchData()
    .then(data => console.log(data))
    .catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));

// Shorthand
async function fetchData() {
    try {
        let response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data');
        let data = await response.json();
        console.log(data);
    } catch (error) {
