Object-oriented programming languages allow data hiding using private fields. They use these to hide the internals of classes. In JS there is no such in build support to hide/encapsulate the inner workings.We have Anonymous functions that can give you encapsulation in JS. Let us look at an example −Exampleconst HIDDEN_CONST = 100; function fnWeWantToHide(x, y) {    return (x + y) * HIDDEN_CONST } console.log(fnWeWantToHide(1, 2))If we write the above code out in the open this code will pollute the global namespace with these names. Instead what we can do is wrap this in an IIFE(immediately invoked functional expressions). For ...

You can use lodash's set method to set properties at any level safely. Setting first-level properties are pretty straightforward. Nested property access is tricky and you should use a tested library like lodash for it.You can set a deeply nested object in the following way −Examplelet _ = require("lodash"); let obj = {    a: {       b: {          foo: "test"       },       c: 2    } }; _.set(obj, "a.b.foo", "test1"); _.set(obj, "a.c", { test2: "bar" }); console.log(obj);OutputThis will give the output −{ a: { b: { foo: 'test1' ...

The query string is made up of query parameters and used to send data to the server. This part of the URL is optional. It needs to be constructed by the developer. This can be done using a native method called encodeURIComponent.The encodeURIComponent() function encodes a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) component by replacing each instance of certain characters by one, two, three, or four escape sequences representing the UTF-8 encoding of the characterUsing the new ES6 format, objects can be query string encoded in the following way −Examplelet obj = {    name: 'John',    age: 25,    city: 'Chicago' ...

lodash and underscore are both utility libraries that make JavaScript easier by providing utils that make working with arrays, numbers, objects, strings, etc. much easier. These libraries are great for −Iterating arrays, objects, & stringsManipulating & testing valuesCreating composite functionsThey are both functional libraries. Lo-Dash is a fork of Underscore, and still follows Underscore’s API enough to allow it to serve as a drop-in replacement. But under the hood, it’s been completely rewritten, and it’s also added a number of features and functions that Underscore does not provide.Lo-Dash was created to provide more consistent cross-environment iteration support for arrays, strings, ...

The only hard dependency(without which backbone js won't work at all) is Underscore.js. Underscore is a JavaScript library that provides a whole mess of useful functional programming helpers without extending any built-in objects.There are other dependencies required as you proceed to use more advanced features of backbone.js.

Updated on 27-Nov-2019 693 Views

Both new Object() notation and Object literal({}) notations do the same thing. They initialize an object. However, the second notation can be a little different if you start adding properties to it.Examplelet a = {    name: 'Ayush' }This initialization is equivalent to −let a = new Object(); a.name = 'Ayush'orlet a = {} a.name = 'Ayush'
