Object-Oriented JavaScript — Prototype Catches

Issues with prototypes.

JavaScript is partly an object-oriented language.

To learn JavaScript, we got to learn the object-oriented parts of JavaScript.

In this article, we’ll look at object properties.

Enumerating Properties

We can enumerate properties of an object with the for…in loop.

For example, if we have:

const obj = {
  a: 1,
  b: 2
};

We can write:

const obj = {
  a: 1,
  b: 2
};
for (const key in obj) {
  console.log(key, obj[key]);
}

Then we get:

a 1
b 2

The key has the key and obj[key] has the value.

Not all properties are enumerable, we can set the ebumerable property descriptor to make a property not enumerable.

We can check with the propertyIsEnumerable() method to check if a property is enumerable.

We can do the check with:

console.log(obj.propertyIsEnumerable('a'))

then we should get true since object properties are enumerable unless it’s specified otherwise.

javascript programming

One of the nice things about learning JavaScript these days is that there is a plethora of choices for writing and running JavaScript code. In this article, I’m going to describe a few of these environments and show you the environment I’ll be using in this series of articles.

To paraphrase the title of an old computer science textbook, “Algorithms + Data = Programs.” The first step in learning a programming language such as JavaScript is to learn what types of data the language can work with. The second step is to learn how to store that data in variables. In this article I’ll discuss the different types of data you can work with in a JavaScript program and how to create and use variables to store and manipulate that data.

Professor JavaScript is a JavaScript online learning courses YouTube Channel. Students can learn how to develop codes with JavaScript from basic to advanced levels through the online courses in this YouTube channel.

Microsoft has released a new series of video tutorials on YouTube for novice programmers to get a hands-on renowned programming language — JavaScript.

In this post, I will explain why declarative code is better than imperative code. Then I will list some techniques to convert imperative JavaScript to a declarative one in common situations.
