Javascript tricks
- Get Unique Values: We can create an array of unique javascript values by using the Set and spread operator as shown below:
var array = [1,1,3,4,5,3,5,6,8,9,9,9] var unique_array = [...new Set(array)];
console.log(array); // [1,3,4,5,6,8,9] - Convert String to Number: You can convert a string to number using unary operator “+” as shown below.
var string = “23”;
console.log(+string); // 23
var new_string = “Hello”;
console.log(+new_string); // Nan
Note that this operator will only work for number strings. - Convert a number to string: To convert a number to string just add empty string with number as shown below:
var number = 23;
number = number + “”;
console.log(typeof number) - Short circuit conditions: Conditional code can be reduced using the below trick.
if(condition){
function();
}
Instead of the above, you can use the below code which will reduce lines of code and time.
condition && function() - Concat two arrays using spread operator:
var array1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7];
var array2 = [8, 9, 10, 11, 12];
var array3 = [...array1, ...array2];
console.log(array3); // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12] - Flatten multidimensional array
var array = [1, [2, 3], [4, 5], 6];
var flat_array = [].concat(...array);
console.log(flat_array); // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] - Resize array using length property: Array can be resized using length property as shown below.
var array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8];
console.log(array.length); // 8
array.length = 4;
console.log(array); // [1, 2, 3, 4];
console.log(array.length); // 4
array.length = 0; // it will remove all values from array and will make the array empty.
console.log(array); // []
