Agenda Basic JavaScript Overview Closures JavaScript Objects Model Prototype Inheritance More OOP Concepts
Basic JavaScript Variables Variable names are case-sensitive. Variables can be implicitly declared JavaScript is a loosely typed language Variables types Variables scope === VS ==
Functions functions are objects special feature: invokable Can pass more argument (or less) that declared arguments property The arguments of a function are maintained in an array-like object Functions always return something this keyword – call & apply
Functions Functions can be defined inside of other functions.
Reference & Value Primitive values Undefined, Null, Boolean, Number, and String Reference values Array or a user-defined object Parameters are always passed by value. Note that if you pass an object, the address of the object is passed by value, but changes we make affects the original object.
Closure An inner function has access to the variables and parameters of functions that it is contained within. The scope that an inner function enjoys continues even after the parent functions have returned
JavaScript Objects Model What’s an object? a hash of key => value pairs if a key (property) happens to be a function, we can call it a method Object literal notation { Wrapped in curly braces } ,-delimited properties key:value pairs The scope that an inner function enjoys continues even after the parent functions have returned
JavaScript Objects Model Constructors When invoked with new, functions return an object known as this You have a chance of modifying this before it's returned
Encapsulation A Public Method is a function that uses thisto access its object This binding of thisto an object happens at invocation time Use Closure for private fields
Prototype A property of the Function objects A prototype is an object from which other objects inherit properties The prototype chain
Inheritance via the prototype var Dad = function () { this.family = “Levi"; }; var Kid = function () { }; Kid.prototype = new Dad(); varmoti = new Kid();
