logo 30 seconds of code

Curated collection of useful JavaScript snippets
that you can understand in 30 seconds or less.

Our philosophy

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 many of our snippets are not perfectly suited for large, enterprise applications and they might not be deemed production-ready.


In order for 30 seconds of code to be as accessible and useful as possible, all of the snippets in the collection are licensed under the CC0-1.0 License, meaning they are absolutely free to use in any project you like. If you like what we do, you can always credit us, but that is not mandatory.


Today's picks

bottomVisible

Returns true if the bottom of the page is visible, false otherwise.

Use scrollY, scrollHeight and clientHeight to determine if the bottom of the page is visible.

const bottomVisible = () =>
  document.documentElement.clientHeight + window.scrollY >=
  (document.documentElement.scrollHeight || document.documentElement.clientHeight);
bottomVisible(); // true

ary

Creates a function that accepts up to n arguments, ignoring any additional arguments.

Call the provided function, fn, with up to n arguments, using Array.slice(0,n) and the spread operator (...).

const ary = (fn, n) => (...args) => fn(...args.slice(0, n));
const firstTwoMax = ary(Math.max, 2);
[[2, 6, 'a'], [8, 4, 6], [10]].map(x => firstTwoMax(...x)); // [6, 8, 10]
