Wiederholung

Implied globals
Forgetting var
var foo = function() {
bar = 1;
};

Boolean type conversion
To Truthy or to Falsy. That is the only question!
var el = document.getElementById('does_not_exist');
if(el == false) {
alert("shouldn't we see this message?!");
}

Trailing comma
works on my machine!
var foo = {
bar: "bar",
baz: "baz",
};

Return undefined
señor developers wear mustaches
{
return
{
x : "looks like C# now!"
};
}

Associative arrays
they don't exist
var x = [];
x['foo'] = "bar";

try .. catch .. finally
who cares about the reason?
try {
doCrazyStuff;
} catch (e) {
return false;
}
return true;
};

Hoisting
declare upfront all variables
var foo = "global";
var bar = function() {
alert(foo);
var foo = "local";
alert(foo);
};

Eval
... and the job is done
function poorMansJsonParser(text) {
return eval("(" + text + ")");
}
var text = ' { "hello" : "world" } ';
var json = poorMansJsonParser(text);

Eval is evil!
Never ever!
var text = ' function() { alert("hacked!"); })( ';

Globals
the mother of all antipatterns
function foo() {
return "bar";
}
console.log(this['foo']());

Every time you clutter the global namespace,
somewhere in the world a helpless kitten dies!

Globals
reduce, minimize, delete or kill them
(function() { "wtf?" })();

The switch-case
syndrome
a functional language wants functions!
switch (something) {
case 1:
doFirst();
break;
case 2:
doSecond();
break;
case 3:
doThird();
break;
}

Lookup tables
avoid the switch-case syndrome
var methods = {
1: doFirst,
2: doSecond,
3: doThird
};
if (methods[something]) {
methods[something]();
}

Revealing Module
Pattern
var myRevealingModule = function () {
var _name = "Johannes";
function greetings() {
console.log("Hello " + _name);
}
function setName(name) {
_name = name;
}
return {
setName: setName,
greetings: greetings
};
}();
» Documentation

Modul loaders
use AMD (require.js)
define('test', ['jquery'], function() {
return {
saySomething : function() { alert("hello!"); }
}
});
require(['test'], function(t) {
t.saySomething();
});

Events
Publish/Subscribe Pattern
var $events = $({});
$events.bind('somethingHappens', function() {
alert("Something happened!");
});
$events.trigger('somethingHappens');

Visual Studio 2010/2012
/ F12
JScript Editor Extensions
Resharper 7.1
JSHint
Chutzpah
Firebug

Why Jasmine?
BDD-style similar to JSpec or RSpec,
created by authors of jsUnit and Screw.Unit
independent from any browser, DOM,
framework or host language
integrates into continuous build systems

Player
should be able to play a Song
when song has been paused
should indicate that the song is currently paused
should be possible to resume
tells the current song if the user has made it a favorite
#resume
should throw an exception if song is already playing

Hello World
hint: press F12 and paste this code!
var helloWorld = function() {
return "Hello World!";
};
describe('helloWorld', function() {
it('says hello', function() {
expect(helloWorld()).toEqual("Hello World!");
});
});
jasmine.getEnv().execute();

Test-Driven Development
1. Write your tests
2. Watch them fail
3. Make them pass
4. Refactor
5. Repeat
see , page 6
see , page 62 or many other
Growing Object-Oriented Software, Guided by Tests
Working Effectively with Legacy Code

1. Write your test
describe("saveFormat", function () {
var original = '{0} - {1} - {2}';
it("should replace placeholders", function () {
var expected = 'A - B - C';
var formated = saveFormat(original, 'A', 'B', 'C');
expect(formated).toEqual(expected);
});
it("should encode injected content", function () {
var expected = 'A - <b>TEST</b> - C';
var formated = saveFormat(original, 'A', '<b>TEST</b>', 'C');
expect(formated).toEqual(expected);
});
});

2. Watch them fail
var saveFormat = function() {
return "boo!";
};
Demo

3. Make them pass
var saveFormat = function(txt) {
$(arguments).each(function (i, item) {
if (i > 0) {
item = ($('<div/>').text(item).html());
txt = txt.replace("{" + (i - 1) + "}", item);
}
});
return txt;
};
Demo

4. Refactor
function htmlEncode(input) {
return ($('<div/>').text(input).html());
}
var saveFormat = function(txt) {
$.each(arguments, function (i, item) {
if (i > 0) {
item = htmlEncode(item);
txt = txt.replace("{" + (i - 1) + "}", item);
}
});
return txt;
};
Demo

5. Repeat
function htmlEncode(input) {
return ($('<div/>').text(input).html());
}
var saveFormat = function() {
var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
var txt = args.shift();
$.each(args, function (i, item) {
item = htmlEncode(item);
txt = txt.replace("{" + i + "}", item);
});
return txt;
};
Demo
