The core goal of 30 seconds of code is to provide a quality resource for beginner and advanced JavaScript developers alike. We want to help improve the JavaScript ecosystem, by lowering the barrier of entry for newcomers and help seasoned veterans pick up new tricks and remember old ones. In order to achieve this, we have collected hundreds of snippets that can be of use in a wide range of situations. We welcome new contributors and we like fresh ideas, as long as the code is short and easy to grasp in about 30 seconds. The only catch, if you may, is that a few of our snippets are not perfectly optimized for large, enterprise applications and they might not be deemed production-ready.

pipeAsyncFunctions
Performs left-to-right function composition for asynchronous functions.
Use Array.prototype.reduce() with the spread operator (...) to perform left-to-right function composition using Promise.then(). The functions can return a combination of: simple values, Promise's, or they can be defined as async ones returning through await. All functions must be unary.
const sum =pipeAsyncFunctions(
- x => x +1,
- x =>newPromise(resolve =>setTimeout(()=>resolve(x +2),1000)),
- x => x +3,
- async x =>(await x)+4
-);
-(async()=>{
- console.log(awaitsum(5));// 15 (after one second)

pipeFunctions
Performs left-to-right function composition.
Use Array.prototype.reduce() with the spread operator (...) to perform left-to-right function composition. The first (leftmost) function can accept one or more arguments; the remaining functions must be unary.
These snippets, while useful and interesting, didn't quite make it into the repository due to either having very specific use-cases or being outdated. However we felt like they might still be useful to some readers, so here they are.
binarySearch
Use recursion. Similar to Array.prototype.indexOf() that finds the index of a value within an array. The difference being this operation only works with sorted arrays which offers a major performance boost due to it's logarithmic nature when compared to a linear search or Array.prototype.indexOf().
Search a sorted array by repeatedly dividing the search interval in half. Begin with an interval covering the whole array. If the value of the search is less than the item in the middle of the interval, recurse into the lower half. Otherwise recurse into the upper half. Repeatedly recurse until the value is found which is the mid or you've recursed to a point that is greater than the length which means the value doesn't exist and return -1.
Removes any properties except the ones specified from a JSON object.
Use Object.keys() method to loop over given JSON object and deleting keys that are not included in given array. If you pass a special key,childIndicator, it will search deeply apply the function to inner objects, too.
Returns the array of factors of the given num. If the second argument is set to true returns only the prime factors of num. If num is 1 or 0 returns an empty array. If num is less than 0 returns all the factors of -int together with their additive inverses.
Use Array.from(), Array.prototype.map() and Array.prototype.filter() to find all the factors of num. If given num is negative, use Array.prototype.reduce() to add the additive inverses to the array. Return all results if primes is false, else determine and return only the prime factors using isPrime and Array.prototype.filter(). Omit the second argument, primes, to return prime and non-prime factors by default.
Note:- Negative numbers are not considered prime.
constfactors=(num, primes =false)=>{
- constisPrime= num =>{
- const boundary = Math.floor(Math.sqrt(num));
- for(var i =2; i <= boundary; i++)if(num % i ===0)returnfalse;
- return num >=2;
- };
- const isNeg = num <0;
- num = isNeg ? -num : num;
- let array = Array.from({ length: num -1})
- .map((val, i)=>(num %(i +2)===0? i +2:false))
- .filter(val => val);
- if(isNeg)
- array = array.reduce((acc, val)=>{
- acc.push(val);
- acc.push(-val);
- return acc;
- }, []);
- return primes ? array.filter(isPrime) : array;
-};
-
Returns the number of fibonnacci numbers up to num(0 and num inclusive).
Use a mathematical formula to calculate the number of fibonacci numbers until num.
constfibonacciCountUntilNum= num =>
- Math.ceil(Math.log(num * Math.sqrt(5)+1/2)/ Math.log((Math.sqrt(5)+1)/2));
-
fibonacciCountUntilNum(10);// 7
-
fibonacciUntilNum
Generates an array, containing the Fibonacci sequence, up until the nth term.
Create an empty array of the specific length, initializing the first two values (0 and 1). Use Array.prototype.reduce() to add values into the array, using the sum of the last two values, except for the first two. Uses a mathematical formula to calculate the length of the array required.
constfibonacciUntilNum= num =>{
- let n = Math.ceil(Math.log(num * Math.sqrt(5)+1/2)/ Math.log((Math.sqrt(5)+1)/2));
- return Array.from({ length: n }).reduce(
- (acc, val, i)=> acc.concat(i >1? acc[i -1]+ acc[i -2] : i),
- []
- );
-};

Returns the area of a triangle using only the 3 side lengths, Heron's formula. Assumes that the sides define a valid triangle. Does NOT assume it is a right triangle.
More information on what Heron's formula is and why it works available here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heron%27s_formula.
Uses Math.sqrt() to find the square root of a value.
Returns the number of times num can be divided by divisor (integer or fractional) without getting a fractional answer. Works for both negative and positive integers.
If divisor is -1 or 1 return Infinity. If divisor is -0 or 0 return 0. Otherwise, keep dividing num with divisor and incrementing i, while the result is an integer. Return the number of times the loop was executed, i.
consthowManyTimes=(num, divisor)=>{
- if(divisor ===1|| divisor === -1)returnInfinity;
- if(divisor ===0)return0;
- let i =0;
- while(Number.isInteger(num / divisor)) {
- i++;
- num = num / divisor;
- }
- return i;
-};

Use XMLHttpRequest web api to make a delete request to the given url. Handle the onload event, by running the provided callback function. Handle the onerror event, by running the provided err function. Omit the third argument, err to log the request to the console's error stream by default.
httpDelete('https://website.com/users/123', request =>{
- console.log(request.responseText);
-});// 'Deletes a user from the database'
-
httpPut

- console.log(request.responseText);
-});// 'Updates a user's password in database'
-
isArmstrongNumber
Checks if the given number is an Armstrong number or not.
Convert the given number into an array of digits. Use the exponent operator (**) to get the appropriate power for each digit and sum them up. If the sum is equal to the number itself, return true otherwise false.
Use String.toLowerCase() to convert both strings to lowercase, then loop through str and determine if it contains all characters of pattern and in the correct order. Adapted from here.
Calculates the number of changes (substitutions, deletions or additions) required to convert string1 to string2. Can also be used to compare two strings as shown in the second example.
Use console.log to log the supplied value, combined with the || operator to return it.
constpipeLog= data => console.log(data)|| data;
-
pipeLog(1);// logs `1` and returns `1`
-
quickSort
QuickSort an Array (ascending sort by default).
Use recursion. Use Array.prototype.filter and spread operator (...) to create an array that all elements with values less than the pivot come before the pivot, and all elements with values greater than the pivot come after it. If the parameter desc is truthy, return array sorts in descending order.
constquickSort=([n,...nums], desc)=>
- isNaN(n)
- ?[]
- : [
- ...quickSort(nums.filter(v =>(desc ? v > n : v <= n)), desc),
- n,
- ...quickSort(nums.filter(v =>(!desc ? v > n : v <= n)), desc)
- ];

Solves the given mathematical expression in reverse polish notation. Throws appropriate errors if there are unrecognized symbols or the expression is wrong. The valid operators are :- +,-,*,/,^,** (^&** are the exponential symbols and are same). This snippet does not supports any unary operators.
Use a dictionary, OPERATORS to specify each operator's matching mathematical operation. Use String.prototype.replace() with a regular expression to replace ^ with **, String.prototype.split() to tokenize the string and Array.prototype.filter() to remove empty tokens. Use Array.prototype.forEach() to parse each symbol, evaluate it as a numeric value or operator and solve the mathematical expression. Numeric values are converted to floating point numbers and pushed to a stack, while operators are evaluated using the OPERATORS dictionary and pop elements from the stack to apply operations.
constsolveRPN= rpn =>{
- constOPERATORS={
- '*': (a, b)=> a * b,
- '+': (a, b)=> a + b,
- '-': (a, b)=> a - b,
- '/': (a, b)=> a / b,
- '**': (a, b)=> a ** b
- };
- const[stack, solve]=[
- [],
- rpn
- .replace(/\^/g,'**')
- .split(/\s+/g)
- .filter(el => !/\s+/.test(el)&& el !=='')
- ];
- solve.forEach(symbol =>{
- if(!isNaN(parseFloat(symbol))&&isFinite(symbol)) {
- stack.push(symbol);

- const[a, b]=[stack.pop(), stack.pop()];
- stack.push(OPERATORS[symbol](parseFloat(b),parseFloat(a)));
- }else{
- throw`${symbol} is not a recognized symbol`;

Use SpeechSynthesisUtterance.voice and window.speechSynthesis.getVoices() to convert a message to speech. Use window.speechSynthesis.speak() to play the message.
⚠️ NOTICE: The same functionality can be easily implemented by using the new asynchronous Clipboard API, which is still experimental but should be used in the future instead of this snippet. Find out more about it here.
Copy a string to the clipboard. Only works as a result of user action (i.e. inside a click event listener).
Create a new <textarea> element, fill it with the supplied data and add it to the HTML document. Use Selection.getRangeAt()to store the selected range (if any). Use document.execCommand('copy') to copy to the clipboard. Remove the <textarea> element from the HTML document. Finally, use Selection().addRange() to recover the original selected range (if any).
copyToClipboard('Lorem ipsum');// 'Lorem ipsum' copied to clipboard.
-
counter
Creates a counter with the specified range, step and duration for the specified selector.
Check if step has the proper sign and change it accordingly. Use setInterval() in combination with Math.abs() and Math.floor() to calculate the time between each new text draw. Use document.querySelector().innerHTML to update the value of the selected element. Omit the fourth parameter, step, to use a default step of 1. Omit the fifth parameter, duration, to use a default duration of 2000ms.
counter('#my-id',1,1000,5,2000);// Creates a 2-second timer for the element with id="my-id"
-
createElement
Creates an element from a string (without appending it to the document). If the given string contains multiple elements, only the first one will be returned.
Use document.createElement() to create a new element. Set its innerHTML to the string supplied as the argument. Use ParentNode.firstElementChild to return the element version of the string.
Creates a pub/sub (publish–subscribe) event hub with emit, on, and off methods.
Use Object.create(null) to create an empty hub object that does not inherit properties from Object.prototype. For emit, resolve the array of handlers based on the event argument and then run each one with Array.prototype.forEach() by passing in the data as an argument. For on, create an array for the event if it does not yet exist, then use Array.prototype.push() to add the handler to the array. For off, use Array.prototype.findIndex() to find the index of the handler in the event array and remove it using Array.prototype.splice().
consthandler= data => console.log(data);
-const hub =createEventHub();
-let increment =0;
-
-// Subscribe: listen for different types of events
-hub.on('message', handler);
-hub.on('message', ()=> console.log('Message event fired'));
-hub.on('increment', ()=> increment++);
-
-// Publish: emit events to invoke all handlers subscribed to them, passing the data to them as an argument
-hub.emit('message','hello world');// logs 'hello world' and 'Message event fired'
-hub.emit('message', { hello:'world'});// logs the object and 'Message event fired'
-hub.emit('increment');// `increment` variable is now 1
-
-// Unsubscribe: stop a specific handler from listening to the 'message' event
-hub.off('message', handler);
-
currentURL
Returns the current URL.
Use window.location.href to get current URL.
constcurrentURL=()=> window.location.href;
-
currentURL();// 'https://google.com'
-
detectDeviceType
Detects whether the website is being opened in a mobile device or a desktop/laptop.
Use a regular expression to test the navigator.userAgent property to figure out if the device is a mobile device or a desktop/laptop.
Returns true if the element specified is visible in the viewport, false otherwise.
Use Element.getBoundingClientRect() and the window.inner(Width|Height) values to determine if a given element is visible in the viewport. Omit the second argument to determine if the element is entirely visible, or specify true to determine if it is partially visible.
constelementIsVisibleInViewport=(el, partiallyVisible =false)=>{
- const{ top, left, bottom, right }= el.getBoundingClientRect();
- const{ innerHeight, innerWidth }= window;
- return partiallyVisible
- ?((top >0&& top < innerHeight)||(bottom >0&& bottom < innerHeight))&&
- ((left >0&& left < innerWidth)||(right >0&& right < innerWidth))
- : top >=0&& left >=0&& bottom <= innerHeight && right <= innerWidth;
-};
-
// e.g. 100x100 viewport and a 10x10px element at position {top: -1, left: 0, bottom: 9, right: 10}
-elementIsVisibleInViewport(el);// false - (not fully visible)
-elementIsVisibleInViewport(el,true);// true - (partially visible)
-
formToObject
Encode a set of form elements as an object.
Use the FormData constructor to convert the HTML form to FormData, Array.from() to convert to an array. Collect the object from the array, using Array.prototype.reduce().
Fetches all images from within an element and puts them into an array
Use Element.prototype.getElementsByTagName() to fetch all <img> elements inside the provided element, Array.prototype.map() to map every src attribute of their respective <img> element, then create a Set to eliminate duplicates and return the array.
hide(document.querySelectorAll('img'));// Hides all <img> elements on the page
-
httpsRedirect
Redirects the page to HTTPS if its currently in HTTP. Also, pressing the back button doesn't take it back to the HTTP page as its replaced in the history.
Use location.protocol to get the protocol currently being used. If it's not HTTPS, use location.replace() to replace the existing page with the HTTPS version of the page. Use location.href to get the full address, split it with String.prototype.split() and remove the protocol part of the URL.

isBrowserTabFocused
Returns true if the browser tab of the page is focused, false otherwise.
Use the Document.hidden property, introduced by the Page Visibility API to check if the browser tab of the page is visible or hidden.
constisBrowserTabFocused=()=> !document.hidden;
-
isBrowserTabFocused();// true
-
nodeListToArray
Converts a NodeList to an array.
Use spread operator inside new array to convert a NodeList to an array.
constnodeListToArray= nodeList =>[...nodeList];
-
nodeListToArray(document.childNodes);// [ <!DOCTYPE html>, html ]
-
observeMutations
Returns a new MutationObserver and runs the provided callback for each mutation on the specified element.
Use a MutationObserver to observe mutations on the given element. Use Array.prototype.forEach() to run the callback for each mutation that is observed. Omit the third argument, options, to use the default options (all true).
const obs =observeMutations(document, console.log);// Logs all mutations that happen on the page
-obs.disconnect();// Disconnects the observer and stops logging mutations on the page
-
off
Removes an event listener from an element.
Use EventTarget.removeEventListener() to remove an event listener from an element. Omit the fourth argument opts to use false or specify it based on the options used when the event listener was added.
constfn=()=> console.log('!');
-document.body.addEventListener('click', fn);
-off(document.body,'click', fn);// no longer logs '!' upon clicking on the page
-
on
Adds an event listener to an element with the ability to use event delegation.
Use EventTarget.addEventListener() to add an event listener to an element. If there is a target property supplied to the options object, ensure the event target matches the target specified and then invoke the callback by supplying the correct this context. Returns a reference to the custom delegator function, in order to be possible to use with off. Omit opts to default to non-delegation behavior and event bubbling.
constfn=()=> console.log('!');
-on(document.body,'click', fn);// logs '!' upon clicking the body
-on(document.body,'click', fn, { target:'p'});// logs '!' upon clicking a `p` element child of the body
-on(document.body,'click', fn, { options:true});// use capturing instead of bubbling
-
onUserInputChange
Run the callback whenever the user input type changes (mouse or touch). Useful for enabling/disabling code depending on the input device. This process is dynamic and works with hybrid devices (e.g. touchscreen laptops).
Use two event listeners. Assume mouse input initially and bind a touchstart event listener to the document. On touchstart, add a mousemove event listener to listen for two consecutive mousemove events firing within 20ms, using performance.now(). Run the callback with the input type as an argument in either of these situations.
onUserInputChange(type =>{
- console.log('The user is now using', type,'as an input method.');
-});
-
prefix
Returns the prefixed version (if necessary) of a CSS property that the browser supports.
Use Array.prototype.findIndex() on an array of vendor prefix strings to test if document.body has one of them defined in its CSSStyleDeclaration object, otherwise return null. Use String.prototype.charAt() and String.prototype.toUpperCase() to capitalize the property, which will be appended to the vendor prefix string.
prefix('appearance');// 'appearance' on a supported browser, otherwise 'webkitAppearance', 'mozAppearance', 'msAppearance' or 'oAppearance'
-
recordAnimationFrames
Invokes the provided callback on each animation frame.
Use recursion. Provided that running is true, continue invoking window.requestAnimationFrame() which invokes the provided callback. Return an object with two methods start and stop to allow manual control of the recording. Omit the second argument, autoStart, to implicitly call start when the function is invoked.
constcb=()=> console.log('Animation frame fired');
-const recorder =recordAnimationFrames(cb);// logs 'Animation frame fired' on each animation frame
-recorder.stop();// stops logging
-recorder.start();// starts again
-const recorder2 =recordAnimationFrames(cb,false);// `start` needs to be explicitly called to begin recording frames
-
redirect
Redirects to a specified URL.
Use window.location.href or window.location.replace() to redirect to url. Pass a second argument to simulate a link click (true - default) or an HTTP redirect (false).
Runs a function in a separate thread by using a Web Worker, allowing long running functions to not block the UI.
Create a new Worker using a Blob object URL, the contents of which should be the stringified version of the supplied function. Immediately post the return value of calling the function back. Return a promise, listening for onmessage and onerror events and resolving the data posted back from the worker, or throwing an error.
constlongRunningFunction=()=>{
- let result =0;
- for(let i =0; i <1000; i++)
- for(let j =0; j <700; j++)for(let k =0; k <300; k++) result = result + i + j + k;
-
- return result;
-};
-/*
- NOTE: Since the function is running in a different context, closures are not supported.
- The function supplied to `runAsync` gets stringified, so everything becomes literal.
- All variables and functions must be defined inside.
-*/
-runAsync(longRunningFunction).then(console.log);// 209685000000
-runAsync(()=>10**3).then(console.log);// 1000
-let outsideVariable =50;
-runAsync(()=>typeof outsideVariable).then(console.log);// 'undefined'
-
scrollToTop
Smooth-scrolls to the top of the page.
Get distance from top using document.documentElement.scrollTop or document.body.scrollTop. Scroll by a fraction of the distance from the top. Use window.requestAnimationFrame() to animate the scrolling.
constscrollToTop=()=>{
- const c = document.documentElement.scrollTop || document.body.scrollTop;
- if(c >0) {
- window.requestAnimationFrame(scrollToTop);
- window.scrollTo(0, c - c /8);
- }
-};
-
scrollToTop();
-
serializeForm
Encode a set of form elements as a query string.
Use the FormData constructor to convert the HTML form to FormData, Array.from() to convert to an array, passing a map function as the second argument. Use Array.prototype.map() and window.encodeURIComponent() to encode each field's value. Use Array.prototype.join() with appropriate argumens to produce an appropriate query string.
constserializeForm= form =>
- Array.from(newFormData(form), field => field.map(encodeURIComponent).join('=')).join('&');
-
show(...document.querySelectorAll('img'));// Shows all <img> elements on the page
-
smoothScroll
Smoothly scrolls the element on which it's called into the visible area of the browser window.
Use .scrollIntoView method to scroll the element. Pass { behavior: 'smooth' } to .scrollIntoView so it scrolls smoothly.
constsmoothScroll= element =>
- document.querySelector(element).scrollIntoView({
- behavior:'smooth'
- });
-
smoothScroll('#fooBar');// scrolls smoothly to the element with the id fooBar
-smoothScroll('.fooBar');// scrolls smoothly to the first element with a class of fooBar
-
toggleClass
Toggle a class for an element.
Use element.classList.toggle() to toggle the specified class for the element.
toggleClass(document.querySelector('p.special'),'special');// The paragraph will not have the 'special' class anymore
-
triggerEvent
Triggers a specific event on a given element, optionally passing custom data.
Use new CustomEvent() to create an event from the specified eventType and details. Use el.dispatchEvent() to trigger the newly created event on the given element. Omit the third argument, detail, if you do not want to pass custom data to the triggered event.

Performs left-to-right function composition.
Use Array.prototype.reduce() to perform left-to-right function composition. The first (leftmost) function can accept one or more arguments; the remaining functions must be unary.
constadd=(x, y)=> x + y;
-constsquare= x => x * x;
-const addAndSquare =composeRight(add, square);
-addAndSquare(1,2);// 9
-
converge
Accepts a converging function and a list of branching functions and returns a function that applies each branching function to the arguments and the results of the branching functions are passed as arguments to the converging function.
Use Array.prototype.map() and Function.prototype.apply() to apply each function to the given arguments. Use the spread operator (...) to call coverger with the results of all other functions.
const average =converge((a, b)=> a / b, [
- arr => arr.reduce((a, v)=> a + v,0),
- arr => arr.length
-]);
-average([1,2,3,4,5,6,7]);// 4
-
curry
Curries a function.
Use recursion. If the number of provided arguments (args) is sufficient, call the passed function fn. Otherwise, return a curried function fn that expects the rest of the arguments. If you want to curry a function that accepts a variable number of arguments (a variadic function, e.g. Math.min()), you can optionally pass the number of arguments to the second parameter arity.
Creates a debounced function that delays invoking the provided function until at least ms milliseconds have elapsed since the last time it was invoked.
Each time the debounced function is invoked, clear the current pending timeout with clearTimeout() and use setTimeout() to create a new timeout that delays invoking the function until at least ms milliseconds has elapsed. Use Function.prototype.apply() to apply the this context to the function and provide the necessary arguments. Omit the second argument, ms, to set the timeout at a default of 0 ms.
window.addEventListener(
- 'resize',
- debounce(()=>{
- console.log(window.innerWidth);
- console.log(window.innerHeight);
- },250)
-);// Will log the window dimensions at most every 250ms
-
defer
Defers invoking a function until the current call stack has cleared.
Use setTimeout() with a timeout of 1ms to add a new event to the browser event queue and allow the rendering engine to complete its work. Use the spread (...) operator to supply the function with an arbitrary number of arguments.
// Example A:
-defer(console.log,'a'), console.log('b');// logs 'b' then 'a'
-
-// Example B:
-document.querySelector('#someElement').innerHTML ='Hello';
-longRunningFunction();// Browser will not update the HTML until this has finished
-defer(longRunningFunction);// Browser will update the HTML then run the function
-
delay
Invokes the provided function after wait milliseconds.
Use setTimeout() to delay execution of fn. Use the spread (...) operator to supply the function with an arbitrary number of arguments.
functionName(Math.max);// max (logged in debug channel of console)
-
hz
Returns the number of times a function executed per second. hz is the unit for hertz, the unit of frequency defined as one cycle per second.
Use performance.now() to get the difference in milliseconds before and after the iteration loop to calculate the time elapsed executing the function iterations times. Return the number of cycles per second by converting milliseconds to seconds and dividing it by the time elapsed. Omit the second argument, iterations, to use the default of 100 iterations.
consthz=(fn, iterations =100)=>{
- const before = performance.now();
- for(let i =0; i < iterations; i++)fn();
- return(1000* iterations)/(performance.now()- before);
-};
-
// 10,000 element array
-const numbers =Array(10000)
- .fill()
- .map((_, i)=> i);
-
-// Test functions with the same goal: sum up the elements in the array
-constsumReduce=()=> numbers.reduce((acc, n)=> acc + n,0);
-constsumForLoop=()=>{
- let sum =0;
- for(let i =0; i < numbers.length; i++) sum += numbers[i];
- return sum;
-};
-
-// `sumForLoop` is nearly 10 times faster
-Math.round(hz(sumReduce));// 572
-Math.round(hz(sumForLoop));// 4784
-

memoize
Returns the memoized (cached) function.
Create an empty cache by instantiating a new Map object. Return a function which takes a single argument to be supplied to the memoized function by first checking if the function's output for that specific input value is already cached, or store and return it if not. The function keyword must be used in order to allow the memoized function to have its this context changed if necessary. Allow access to the cache by setting it as a property on the returned function.
// See the `anagrams` snippet.
-const anagramsCached =memoize(anagrams);
-anagramsCached('javascript');// takes a long time
-anagramsCached('javascript');// returns virtually instantly since it's now cached
-console.log(anagramsCached.cache);// The cached anagrams map
-
negate
Negates a predicate function.
Take a predicate function and apply the not operator (!) to it with its arguments.
constnegate= func =>(...args)=> !func(...args);
-
[1,2,3,4,5,6].filter(negate(n => n %2===0));// [ 1, 3, 5 ]
-
once
Ensures a function is called only once.
Utilizing a closure, use a flag, called, and set it to true once the function is called for the first time, preventing it from being called again. In order to allow the function to have its this context changed (such as in an event listener), the function keyword must be used, and the supplied function must have the context applied. Allow the function to be supplied with an arbitrary number of arguments using the rest/spread (...) operator.
constonce= fn =>{
- let called =false;
- return function(...args) {
- if(called)return;
- called =true;
- return fn.apply(this, args);
- };
-};
-
conststartApp=function(event) {
- console.log(this, event);// document.body, MouseEvent
-};
-document.body.addEventListener('click',once(startApp));// only runs `startApp` once upon click
-
partial
Creates a function that invokes fn with partials prepended to the arguments it receives.
Use the spread operator (...) to prepend partials to the list of arguments of fn.
constdelay= d =>newPromise(r =>setTimeout(r, d));
-runPromisesInSeries([()=>delay(1000), ()=>delay(2000)]);// Executes each promise sequentially, taking a total of 3 seconds to complete
-
sleep
Delays the execution of an asynchronous function.
Delay executing part of an async function, by putting it to sleep, returning a Promise.
constsleep= ms =>newPromise(resolve =>setTimeout(resolve, ms));
-
async functionsleepyWork() {
- console.log("I'm going to sleep for 1 second.");
- awaitsleep(1000);
- console.log('I woke up after 1 second.');
-}
-
throttle
Creates a throttled function that only invokes the provided function at most once per every wait milliseconds
Use setTimeout() and clearTimeout() to throttle the given method, fn. Use Function.prototype.apply() to apply the this context to the function and provide the necessary arguments. Use Date.now() to keep track of the last time the throttled function was invoked. Omit the second argument, wait, to set the timeout at a default of 0 ms.
window.addEventListener(
- 'resize',
- throttle(function(evt) {
- console.log(window.innerWidth);
- console.log(window.innerHeight);
- },250)
-);// Will log the window dimensions at most every 250ms
-
times
Iterates over a callback n times
Use Function.call() to call fnn times or until it returns false. Omit the last argument, context, to use an undefined object (or the global object in non-strict mode).
consttimes=(n, fn, context = undefined)=>{
- let i =0;
- while(fn.call(context, i)!==false&& ++i < n) {}
-};
-
var output ='';
-times(5, i =>(output += i));
-console.log(output);// 01234
-
uncurry
Uncurries a function up to depth n.
Return a variadic function. Use Array.prototype.reduce() on the provided arguments to call each subsequent curry level of the function. If the length of the provided arguments is less than n throw an error. Otherwise, call fn with the proper amount of arguments, using Array.prototype.slice(0, n). Omit the second argument, n, to uncurry up to depth 1.
constadd= x => y => z => x + y + z;
-const uncurriedAdd =uncurry(add,3);
-uncurriedAdd(1,2,3);// 6
-
unfold
Builds an array, using an iterator function and an initial seed value.
Use a while loop and Array.prototype.push() to call the function repeatedly until it returns false. The iterator function accepts one argument (seed) and must always return an array with two elements ([value, nextSeed]) or false to terminate.
constunfold=(fn, seed)=>{
- let result =[],
- val =[null, seed];
- while((val =fn(val[1]))) result.push(val[0]);
- return result;
-};
-
varf= n =>(n >50?false: [-n, n +10]);
-unfold(f,10);// [-10, -20, -30, -40, -50]
-
when
Tests a value, x, against a predicate function. If true, return fn(x). Else, return x.
Return a function expecting a single value, x, that returns the appropriate value based on pred.
constwhen=(pred, whenTrue)=> x =>(pred(x)?whenTrue(x) : x);
-
const doubleEvenNumbers =when(x => x %2===0, x => x *2);
-doubleEvenNumbers(2);// 4
-doubleEvenNumbers(1);// 1

-Glossary - 30 seconds of code
Developers use a lot of terminology daily. Every once in a while, you might find a term you do not know. We know how frustrating that can get, so we provide you with a handy glossary of frequently used web development terms.
AJAX
Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (known as AJAX) is a term that describes a new approach to using multiple technologies together in order to enable web applications to make quick updates to the user interface without reloading the entire browser page.
API
API stands for Application Programming Interface and is a set of features and rules provided by a provided by a software to enable third-party software to interact with it. The code features of a web API usually include methods, properties, events or URLs.
Argument
An argument is a value passed as an input to a function and can be either a primitive or an object. In JavaScript, functions can also be passed as arguments to other functions.
Array
Arrays are used to store multiple values in a single variable. Arrays are ordered and each item in an array has a numeric index associated with it. JavaScript arrays are zero-indexed, meaning the first element's index is 0.
Asynchronous programming
Asynchronous programming is a way to allow multiple events to trigger code without waiting for each other. The main benefits of asynchronous programming are improved application performance and responsiveness.
Automatic semicolon insertion
Automatic semicolon insertion (ASI) is a JavaScript feature that allows developers to omit semicolons in their code.
Boolean
Booleans are one of the primitive data types in JavaScript. They represent logical data values and can only be true or false.
Callback
A callback function, also known as a high-order function, is a function that is passed into another function as an argument, which is then executed inside the outer function. Callbacks can be synchronous or asynchronous.
Character encoding
A character encoding defines a mapping between bytes and text, specifying how the sequenece of bytes should be interpreted. Two commonly used character encodings are ASCII and UTF-8.
Class
In object-oriented programming, a class is a template definition of an object's properties and methods.
Closure
A closure is the combination of a function and the lexical environment within which that function was declared. The closure allows a function to access the contents of that environment.
CoffeeScript
CoffeeScript is a programming language inspired by Ruby, Python and Haskell that transpiles to JavaScript.
Constant
A constant is a value, associated with an identifier. The value of a constant can be accessed using the identifier and cannot be altered during execution.
Constructor
In class-based object-oriented programming, a constructor is a special type of function called to instantiate an object. Constructors often accept arguments that are commonly used to set member properties.
Continuous Deployment
Continuous Deployment follows the testing that happens during Continuous Integration and pushes changes to a staging or production system. Continuous Deployment ensures that a version of the codebase is accessible at all times.
Continuous Integration
Continuous Integration (CI) is the practice of testing each change done to a codebase automatically and as early as possible. Two popular CI systems that integrate with GitHub are Travis CI and Circle CI.
CORS
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (known as CORS) is a mechanism that uses extra HTTP headers to tell a browser to let a web application running at one domain have permission to access resources from a server at a different domain.
Cross-site scripting (XSS)
XSS refers to client-side code injection where the attacker injects malicious scripts into a legitimate website or web application. This is often achieved when the application does not validate user input and freely injects dynamic HTML content.
CSS
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets and is a language used to style web pages. CSS documents are plaintext documents structured with rules, which consist of element selectors and property-value pairs that apply the styles to the specified selectors.
CSV
CSV stands for Comma-Separated Values and is a storage format for tabular data. CSV documents are plaintext documents where each line represents a table row, with table columns separated by commas or some other delimiter (e.g. semicolons). The first line of a CSV document sometimes consists of the table column headings for the data to follow.
Currying
Currying is a way of constructing functions that allows partial application of a function's arguments. Practically, this means that a function is broken down into a series of functions, each one accepting part of the arguments.
Deserialization
Deserialization is the process of converting a format that has been transferred over a network and/or used for storage to an object or data structure. A common type of deserialization in JavaScript is the conversion of JSON string into an object.
DNS
A DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names to the IP addresses needed to find a particular computer service on a network.
DOM
The DOM (Document Object Model) is a cross-platform API that treats HTML and XML documents as a tree structure consisting of nodes. These nodes (such as elements and text nodes) are objects that can be programmatically manipulated and any visible changes made to them are reflected live in the document. In a browser, this API is available to JavaScript where DOM nodes can be manipulated to change their styles, contents, placement in the document, or interacted with through event listeners.
Domain name registrar
A domain name registrar is a company that manages the reservation of internet domain names. A domain name registrar must be approved by a general top-level domain (gTLD) registry or a country code top-level domain (ccTLD) registry.
Domain name
A domain name is a website's address on the Internet, used primarily in URLs to identify the server for each webpage. A domain name consists of a hierarchical sequence of names, separated by dots and ending with an extension.
Element
A JavaScript representation of a DOM element commonly returned by document.querySelector() and document.createElement(). They are used when creating content with JavaScript for display in the DOM that needs to be programatically generated.
ES6
ES6 stands for ECMAScript 6 (also known as ECMAScript 2015), a version of the ECMAScript specification that standardizes JavaScript. ES6 adds a wide variety of new features to the specification, such as classes, promises, generators and arrow functions.
Event-driven programming
Event-driven programming is a programming paradigm in which the flow of the program is determined by events (e.g. user actions, thread messages, sensor outputs). In event-driven applications, there is usually a main loop that listens for events and trigger callback functions accordingly when one of these events is detected.
Event loop
The event loop handles all asynchronous callbacks. Callbacks are queued in a loop, while other code runs, and will run one by one when the response for each one has been received. The event loop allows JavaScript to perform non-blocking I/O operations, despite the fact that JavaScript is single-threaded.
Express
Express is a backend framework, that provides a layer of fundamental web application features for Node.js. Some of its key features are routing, middleware, template engines and error handling.
Factory functions
In JavaScript, a factory function is any function, which is not a class or constructor, that returns a new object. Factory functions don't require the use of the new keyword.
First-class function
A programming language is said to have first-class functions if it treats them as first-class citizens, meaning they can be passed as arguments, be returned as values from other functions, be assigned to variables and stored in data structures.
Flexbox
Flexbox is a one-dimensional layout model used to style websites as a property that could advance space distribution between items and provide powerful alignment capabilities.
Function
Functions are self-contained blocks of code with their own scope, that can be called by other code and are usually associated with a unique identifier. Functions accept input in the form of arguments and can optionally return an output (if no return statement is present, the default value of undefined will be returned instead). JavaScript functions are also objects.
Functional programming
Functional programming is a paradigm in which programs are built in a declarative manner using pure functions that avoid shared state and mutable data. Functions that always return the same value for the same input and don't produce side effects are the pillar of functional programming.
Functor
A Functor is a data type common in functional programming that implements a map method. The map method takes a function and applies it to the data in the Functor, returning a new instance of the Functor with the result. JavaScript Arrays are an example of the Functor data type.
Garbage collection
Garbage collection is a form of automatic memory management. It attempts to reclaim memory occupied by objects that are no longer used by the program.
Git
Git is an open-source version control system, used for source code management. Git allows users to copy (clone) and edit code on their local machines, before merging it into the main code base (master repository).
Higher-order function
Higher-order functions are functions that either take other functions as arguments, return a function as a result, or both.
Hoisting
Hoisting is JavaScript's default behavior of adding declarations to memory during the compile phase. Hoisting allows for JavaScript variables to be used before the line they were declared on.
HTML
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language and is a language used to structure web pages. HTML documents are plaintext documents structured with elements, which are surrounded by <> tags and optionally extended with attributes.
HTTP and HTTPS
The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the underlying network protocol that enables transfer of hypermedia documents on the Web, usually between a client and a server. The HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is an encrypted version of the HTTP protocol, that uses SSL to encrypt all data transferred between a client and a server.
Integer
Integers are one of the primitive data types in Javascript. They represent a numerical value that has no fractional component.
Integration testing
Integration testing is a type of software testing, used to test groups of units/components of a software. The purpose of integration tests are to validate that the units/components interact with each other as expected.
IP
An IP address is a number assigned to a device connected to a network that uses the Internet protocol. Two IP versions are currently in use - IPv4, the older version of the communication protocol (e.g. 192.168.1.100) and IPv6, the newest version of the communication protocol which allows for many different IP addresses (e.g. 0:0:0:0:ffff:c0a8:164).
jQuery
jQuery is a frontend JavaScript library, that simplifies DOM manipulation, AJAX calls and Event handling. jQuery uses its globally defined function, $(), to select and manipulate DOM elements.
JSON
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a format for storing and exchanging data. It closely resembles the JavaScript object syntax, however some data types, such as dates and functions, cannot be natively represented and need to be serialized first.

MDN
MDN Web Docs, formerly known as Mozilla Developer Network, is the official Mozilla website for development documentation of web standards and Mozilla projects.
Module
Modules are independent, self-contained pieces of code that can be incorporated into other pieces of code. Modules improve maintainability and reusability of the code.
MongoDB
MongoDB is a NoSQL database model that stores data in flexible, JSON-like documents, meaning fields can vary from document to document and data structure can be changed over time
Mutable value
Mutable value is a type of variable that can be changed once created. Objects are mutable as their state can be modified after they are created. Primitive values are not mutable as we perform reassignment once we change them.
MVC
MVC stands for Model-View-Controller and is a software design pattern, emphasizing separation of concerns (logic and display). The Model part of the MVC pattern refers to the data and business logic, the View handles the layout and display, while the Controller routes commands to the model and view parts.
Node.js
Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. Node.js can execute JavaScript code outside of the browser and can be used to develop web backends or standalone applications.
NoSQL
NoSQL databases provide a mechanism to create, update, retrieve and calculate data that is stored in models that are non-tabular.
Npm
Npm is a package manager for the JavaScript programming language and the default package manager for Node.js. It consists of a command-line client and the npm registry, an online database of packages.
Object-oriented programming
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of objects, which may contain both data and procedures which can be use to operate on them. JavaScript supports Object-oriented programming both via prototypes and classes.
Object
Objects are data structures that contain data and instructions for working with the data. Objects consist of key-value pairs, where the keys are alphanumeric identifiers and the values can either be primitives or objects. JavaScript functions are also objects.
Prepared statements
In databases management systems, prepared statements are templates that can be used to execute queries with the provided values substituting the template's parameters. Prepared statements offer many benefits, such as reusability, maintainability and higher security.
Promise
The Promise object represents the eventual completion (or failure) of an asynchronous operation, and its resulting value. A Promise can be in one of these states: pending(initial state, neither fulfilled nor rejected), fulfilled(operation completed successfully), rejected(operation failed).
Prototype-based programming
Prototype-based programming is a style of object-oriented programming, where inheritance is based on object delegation, reusing objects that serve as prototypes. Prototype-based programming allows the creation of objects before defining their classes.
Pseudo-class
In CSS, a pseudo-class is used to define a special state of an element and can be used as a selector in combination with an id, element or class selector.
Pseudo-element
In CSS, a pseudo-element is used to style specific parts of an element and can be used as a selector in combination with an id, element or class selector.
PWA
Progressive Web App (known as PWA) is a term used to describe web applications that load like regular websites but can offer the user functionality such as working offline, push notifications, and device hardware access that were traditionally available only to native mobile applications.
React
React is a frontend framework, that allows developers to create dynamic, component-based user interfaces. React separates view and state, utilizing a virtual DOM to update the user interface.
Recursion
Recursion is the repeated application of a process. In JavaScript, recursion involves functions that call themselves repeatedly until they reach a base condition. The base condition breaks out of the recursion loop because otherwise the function would call itself indefinitely. Recursion is very useful when working with nested data, especially when the nesting depth is dynamically defined or unkown.
Regular expressions
Regular expressions (known as regex or regexp) are patterns used to match character combinations in strings. JavaScript provides a regular expression implementation through the RegExp object.
Repository
In a version control system, a repository (or repo for short) is a data structure that stores metadata for a set of files (i.e. a project).
Responsive web design
Responsive web design is a web development concept aiming to provide optimal behavior and performance of websites on all web-enabled devices. Responsive web design is usually coupled with a mobile-first approach.
Scope
Each function has its own scope, and any variable declared within that function is only accessible from that function and any nested functions.
Selector
A CSS selector is a pattern that is used to select and/or style one or more elements in a document, based on certain rules. The order in which CSS selectors apply styles to elements is based on the rules of CSS specificity.
SEO
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization and refers to the process of improving a website's search rankings and visibility.
Serialization
Serialization is the process of converting an object or data structure into a format suitable for transfer over a network and/or storage. A common type of serialization in JavaScript is the conversion of an object into a JSON string.
Shadow DOM
Shadow DOM allows you to attach hidden DOM trees to elements in the normal DOM tree, which are included in the document rendering, but excluded from the main document DOM tree. A shadow DOM tree will start with a shadow root, to which you can attach any elements you want, just like in a regular DOM. Examples of shadow DOM uses are the <video>/<audio> elements and the simple <input type="range"> element.
SQL injection
SQL injection is a code injection technique, used to attack data-driven applications. SQL injections get their name from the SQL language and mainly target data stored in relational databases.
SQL
SQL stands for Structured Query Language and is a language used to create, update, retrieve and calculate data in table-based databases. SQL databases use a relational database model and are particularly useful in handlind structured data with relations between different entities.
SSL
Secure Sockets Layer, commonly known as SSL or TLS, is a set of protocols and standards for transferring private data across the Internet. SSL uses a cryptographic system that uses two keys to encrypt data.
Stream
A stream is a sequence of data made available over time, often due to network transmission or storage access times.
Strict mode
JavaScript's strict mode is a JavaScript feature that allows developers to use a more restrictive variant of JavaScript and it can be enabled by adding 'use strict'; at the very top of their code. Strict mode elimiated some silent errors, might improve performance and changes the behavior of eval and arguments among other things.
String
Strings are one of the primitive data types in JavaScript. They are sequences of characters and are used to represent text.
SVG
SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics and is a 2D vector image format based on an XML syntax. SVG images can scale infinitely and can utilize clipping, masking, filters, animations etc.
Template literals
Template literals are strings that allow embedded expressions. They support multi-line strings, expression interpolation and nesting.
TypeScript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, adding optional static typing to the language. TypeScript compiles to plain JavaScript.
Unit testing
Unit testing is a type of software testing, used to test individual units/components of a software. The purpose of unit tests are to validate that each individual unit/component performs as designed.
URI
URI stands for Uniform Resource Identifier and is a text string referring to a resource. A common type of URI is a URL, which is used for the identification of resources on the Web.
URL
URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator and is a text string specifying where a resource can be found on the Internet. In the HTTP protocol, URLs are the same as web addresses and hyperlinks.
UTF-8
UTF-8 stands for UCS Transformation Format 8 and is a commonly used character encoding. UTF-8 is backwards compatible with ASCII and can represent any standard Unicode character.
Value vs reference
When passing a variable by value, a copy of the variable is made, meaning that any changes made to the contents of the variable will not be reflected in the original variable. When passing a variable by reference, the memory address of the actual variable is passed to the function or variable, meaning that modifying the variable's contents will be reflected in the original variable. In JavaScript primitive data types are passed by value while objects are passed by reference.
Variable
A variable is a storage location, associated with an identifier and containing a value. The value of a variable can be referred using the identifier and can be altered during execution.
Viewport
A viewport is a polygonal (usually rectangular) area in computer graphics that is currently being viewed. In web development and design, it refers to the visible part of the document that is being viewed by the user in the browser window.
Vue
Vue.js is a progressive frontend framework for building user interfaces. Vue.js separates view and state, utilizing a virtual DOM to update the user interface.
WebAssembly
WebAssembly (WA) is a web standard that defines an assembly-like text format and corresponding binary format for executalbe code in web pages. WebAssembly is meant to complement JavaScript and improve its performance to match native code performance.
Web Components
Web Components are a set of web platform APIs that allow you to create new custom, reusable, encapsulated HTML tags to use on web pages and apps. Building custom components using these standards means that you can use them across modern browsers regardless of any JavaScript library or framework.
WebGL
WebGL stands for Web Graphics Library and is a JavaScript API that can be used for drawing interactive 2D and 3D graphics. WebGL is based on OpenGL and can be invoked within HTML <canvas> elements, which provide a rendering surface.
WebRTC
WebRTC stands for Web Real-Time Communication and is an API that can be used for video-chat, voice-calling and P2P-file-sharing web apps.
WebSockets
WebSockets is a protocol that allows for a persistent client-server TCP connection. The WebSocket protocol uses lower overheads, facilitating real-time data transfer between client and server.
XHTML
XHTML stands for EXtensible HyperText Markup Language and is a language used to structure web pages. XHTML is a reformulation of the HTML document structure as an application of XML.
XML
XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language and is a generic markup language specified by the W3C. XML documents are plaintext documents structured with user-defined tags, surrounded by <> and optionally extended with attributes.
Yarn
Yarn is a package manager made by Facebook. It can be used as an alternative to the npm package manager and is compatible with the public NPM registry.
