The first approach makes use of the window object method, and the second method makes use of the eval() function. This tutorial will guide you to learn the way to execute a JavaScript function using its name as a string. Using the window[]() Method Here, to execute the function using the function name as a string, the string should be changed to a pointer using the following syntax. Syntax var functionName = "string"; functionName = window[functionName]( parameters ); Here we have stored ...
Read MoreHow to encode a URL using JavaScript function?
As we know, a URL is a web address. What is URL encodingand why do we need to encode a URL? The process of turning a string into an accurateURL format is known as URL encoding. A valid URL format only uses "alpha | digit | safe | extra | escape" characters. Only a limited selection of the normal 128 ASCII characters is permitted in URLs. It is required to encrypt reserved characters that are not part of this set. The reliability and security of the URLs are increased with URL encoding. Each character that needs to be URL-encoded is ...
Read MoreHow to do case insensitive string comparison of strings in JavaScript
In this tutorial, we will learn how to do a case-insensitive string comparison of strings in JavaScript. Case in-sensitive simply means the word or string should mean the same even if they are written in lower or upper case. In this kind of case in-sensitive comparison is observed in the google search bar, wherein if the user type “tUtoriAlsPOint” or “Tutorialspoint” the results are the same, similarly it is used in search bar too. There are 4 ways to do this, toUpperCase() toLowerCase() localeCompare() RegExp() Using the toUpperCase() Method When we use the toUpperCase() method on a string, ...
Read MoreHow to determine if JavaScript object is an event?
Let us first understand what is JavaScript objects and JavaScript events. An object in JavaScript is a distinct entity having properties and a type. For an instance, contrast it with a bowl. A bowl is an object with some properties. The properties are design, color, material, weight, etc. Like this, JavaScript object also has some properties. An independent entity known as a JavaScript object can store numerous values as its properties and methods. While a method represents a function, an object property maintains a literal value. Either the object literal or the object function object() { [native code] } syntax ...
Read MoreHow to pretty print json using javascript?
Java Script Object Notation is one of the many standard formats to store data in different many applications. JavaScript objects can also be stored in a file in this JSON format. In this article, we will cover a few methods to print the JSON objects in a pretty method. Let us see this as an example. We are creating an object in javascript before − Example (Creating Javascript Object)
Read MoreHow to return the response from an asynchronous call in Javascript?
Asynchronous programming is fairly common in javascript network programming. In this approach, we can download, or perform some time-dependent jobs without locking thecurrent execution flow. Which performs asynchronously as compared to our program, which can be done using async functions in javascript. In this article, we will discuss the techniques to return the response from an asynchronous call in javascript. Before entering into the concept, let us see in which cases it becomes confusing to developers when asynchronous execution calls are taken into action. Let us see the following situation. Syntax function aTrivialFunction() { ajaxCall(..., function onSuccess(result) ...
Read MoreMixins in JavaScript
Multiple-inheritance is not supported by Javascript by default. But sometimes we need to mix multiple object properties into a single object. Object property sharing can be done using mixins. In this article, we shall cover what are mixins in JavaScript. The definition of mixins can be stated as mixins is a class that contains methods that can be used by other classes without inheriting from that class. The methods in mixin provide certain behavior which is not used alone but can be used to add these behaviors to other classes. Mixin: A Simple Example See the following example where we ...
Read MoreHow to make your code faster using JavaScript Sets?
While writing code, we always try to make our code easier to read, less complex, more efficient, and smaller in size. For that, we follow several methodologies which make our code efficient. In this article, we shall focus on some techniques based on Javascript sets to perform certain array-like or collection-based applications which will run faster and the code will also be concise. Let us focus few use cases. How sets are different than arrays and the benefits of using sets over an array Arrays are indexed collections where each element is associated with a specific index. On the other ...
Read MoreHow to know whether a value is searched in Javascript sets?
In javascript, we may use some sets to hold a few objects. Sometimes we want to check whether an element is present inside a set or not. In this article, we will see different techniques to check whether an element is inside a given set or not.p> A trivial method using for loop At first, we can search for an element by manually picking an element and checking whether it is the same as the key element or not. If so then simply return true, otherwise after completing all elements return false. Examples HTML ...
Read MoreGarbage collection(GC) in JavaScript?
Memory management in JavaScript is much easier than in low-level languages like C or C++. Unlike low-level languages, JavaScript automatically detects which objects will be needed in later cases and which will be garbage that is occupying memory without any reason. In this article, we shall discuss how garbage collection (GC) works in JavaScript. There are a few important parts that we are going to discuss in detail− Reachability from root Interlinked Objects (interconnections between different objects) Unreachable Collections (Broken link) Reachability The first concept of memory management is reachability. In this mode, the garbage collector tries to ...
