LESSON 2 – JAVASCRIPT ES6

CSSE3101 – ADVANCED WEB TECHNOLOGIES


What JavaScript ES6?
• ECMAScript 2015 or ES2015 is a significant update to
the JavaScript programming language. It is the first
major update to the language since ES5 which was
standardized in 2009. Therefore, ES2015 is often
called ES6.
• React uses ES6, and you should be familiar with some
of the new features
• ECMAScript (European Computer Manufacturers
Association Script)
Arrow Functions
Arrow functions allow us to write shorter function syntax:
Before With arrow functions

function hello()
const hello = () => {
{
return "Hello World!";
return "Hello World!";
}
}
Arrow Functions
Example:
Before With arrow functions

function computeAge(year){ const computeAge = (year)=>{


const d = new Date(); const d = new Date();
let y = d.getFullYear(); let y = d.getFullYear();
let age = y-year; let age = y-year;
return age; return age;
} }
Variable Scopes
• Scope stands for where our variable will be available to use inside our code and
where it will not.
• Block means a pair of curly brackets; a block can be anything that contains
an opening and closing curly bracket.
• Variable having Block-scope will only be available to use inside the block it
declared, will not be accessible outside the block, and will give Reference
Error if we try to access.
Block-scope
if(true) {
let myName = "your name";
console.log(myName); //output=> "your name"
}
console.log(myName); //output => ReferenceError
ES6 Variables
Defining your variables: let, and const.
let const
let x = 20; const x = 5.6;

let has a block scope. const has a block scope.

const is a variable that once it has been created, its value can never change.
ES6 Array Methods(map)
The .map() method allows you to run a function on each item in the array,
returning a new array as the result.
In React, map() can be used to generate lists.
Example:
{const myArray = ['apple', 'banana', 'orange'];
myArray.map((item) => console.log(item));
ES6 Array Methods(filter)
• The JavaScript Array filter() Method is used to create a new array
from a given array consisting of only those elements from the given
array which satisfy a condition set by the argument method.
ES6 Array Methods(filter)
// JavaScript to illustrate findIndex() method
function canVote(age) {
return age >= 18;
}

function func() {
var filtered = [24, 33, 16, 40].filter(canVote);
console.log(filtered);
}
func();
React ES6 Destructuring
Destructuring is a convenient way of creating new variables by extracting some
values from data stored in objects or arrays.

Accessing elements in array Destructuring

const stud =['Ali','A+','Web']; const stud =['Ali','A+','Web'];


const [name,mark,course] = stud;
const name = stud[0]; console.log(mark);
const mark = stud[1]; console.log(name);
const course = stud[2];
console.log(name);
Destructuring Objects
const student = {
id: '46J12345',
name: 'Ahmed',
mark: 'A+',
course: 'CSSE3101',
}
studentInfo(student);
function studentInfo({id, name, mark, course}) {
const message = 'Student ' + id + ' with the name ' + name + '
has the mark ' + mark + ' in the ' + course + '.';

document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = message;
}
ES6 Spread Operator
The JavaScript spread operator (...) allows us to quickly copy all or part of an
existing array or object into another array or object.

Example:
const marks1 = [1, 2, 3];
const marks2 = [4, 5, 6];
const marks = [...marks1, ...marks2];
console.log(marks);
ES6 Modules
JavaScript modules allow you to break up your code into separate files.
ES Modules rely on the import and export statements.

NAMED EXPORT: Import from named exports:

const name = "Ali"; import {name,age} from "./person.js";


const age = 21
export { name, age } Access the variables in another file.
Saved in another file.
ES6 Modules
JavaScript modules allow you to break up your code into separate files.
ES Modules rely on the import and export statements.

DEFAULT EXPORT: Import from default exports:


const message = () => {
const name = "Jesse";
const age = 40; import message from "./message.js";
return name + ' is ' + age +
'years old.'; Access the variables in another file.
};

export default message;

Saved in another file.


Ternary Operator
The ternary operator is a simplified conditional operator like if / else.

Syntax:
condition ? <expression if true> : <expression if false>

If-else: Ternary Operator:


if(mark>=60)
message=“Passed”; mark>=60? message="passed":
else message="failed";
message=“Failed”;
