Quick ref - JavaScript things you commonly need for React

Destructuring

const array = ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four'];
const object = { id: 123, name: 'Jo', email: 'jo@gmail.com' };

const [first, second, , , last ] = array;

// or let {first, last} = { first: 'Cyan', last: 'Hall' }

Ways to create a function

const getName = user => user.name const funcName = name => { // do something return name }

Arrays

// Delete at index array.splice(index, 1)

// Insert at index array.splice(index, 0, newItem)

// check exist [1, 2, 3].includes(3) // true

// find index [1, 2, 3].indexOf(3) // 2; return -1 if not found

// concat let array3 = array1.concat(array2) // [1].concat([2]) is [1, 2]

// new array let array4 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].slice(2, 4) // [3, 4]

Iterating arrays

for (const i of [1, 2, 3]) { console.log(i) } // 1 // 2 // 3

for (const [index, value] of ['Cyan', 'Hall', '.com'].entries()) { console.log(index, value) } // 0 "Cyan" // 1 "Hall" // 2 ".com"

const obj = {part1: 'Cyan', part2: 'Hall', part3: '.com'}; for (const key in obj) { console.log(key, obj[key]) } // or for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(obj)) { console.log(key, value) } // part1 Cyan // part2 Hall // part3 .com

But you may not need to iterate

const numbers = [1, 2, 3] numbers.map(n => n * 2) // [2, 4, 6] numbers.filter(n => n % 2 === 0) // [2] numbers.reduce((prev, next) => prev + next, 0) // 6 numbers.find(n => n > 2) // 3

Async

funcName('test') .then(result => { // ... }) .catch(error => { // ... }) .finally(() => { // ... })

async/await

const funcName = async () => { const data = await fetchData() return data }

await funcName()

Spread

const options = { ...defaults, show: true }

const array3 = [ ...array1, ...array2, 'newItem' ]

Template strings

let text = ( cat dog nickelodeon ); Template Literals can accept expressions, as well:

let today = new Date(); let text = The time and date is ${today.toLocaleString()};

Modules

To share JS from another file we need two things:

1. To export from one file
2. To import from the other

file1.js

export let name = 'Jo';  // "named" export
let age  = 27;
export default age;        // "default" export

file2.js

import age from './file1.js';   // default import
import { name } from './file1.js';  // named import
