ECMA means European Computer Manufacturer's Association. ECMAScript is a programming language standard that web browsers follow while interpreting Javascript.
TypeScript is a programming language developed and maintained by Microsoft. It is a strict syntactical superset of JavaScript and adds optional static typing to the language.
When we declare a new variable in JavaScript, we can either use 'const', 'let', or 'var'.
Template Literals were introduced with JavaScript ES2015 (ES6) to handle strings in an easier and more readable way. It allows us to embed expressions (expression interpolation) inside a string declaration, handle multiline strings and create "tagged template literals" which is a more advanced form of template literals.
More data structures and more in-depth study of the types.
Arrow functions were introduced in ES6. Arrow functions allow us to write shorter function syntax
String manipulation is easy to learn but most difficult to master of it in JavaScript. Earlier, multi-line string was not supported by JavaScript. After 2015, string literals have introduced by ES6 (ECMAScript 6) that supports multi-line string.
A function's 'this' keyword behaves a little differently in JavaScript compared to other languages. It also has some differences between strict mode and non-strict mode.
Object literal enhancement is used to group variables from the global scope and form them into javascript objects. It is the process of restructuring or putting back together.
In JavaScript, a primitive (primitive value, primitive data type) is data that is not an object and has no methods. There are 7 primitive data types: string, number, bigint, boolean, undefined, symbol, and null. In JavaScript, objects can be seen as a collection of properties.
Functions in JavaScript run in a specific context, and using the "this" variable we have access to it. All standard functions in the browser run under the Window context. Functions defined under an object or a class (another function) will use the context of the object it was created in. However, we can also change the context of a function at runtime, either before or while executing the function.
The async function keyword can be used to define async functions inside expressions. The await operator is used to wait for a Promise. It can only be used inside an async function within regular JavaScript code; however it can be used on its own with JavaScript modules.
In general, JavaScript is running code in a non-blocking way. This means that code which is taking some time to finish (like accessing an API, reading content from the local file system, etc.) is being executed in the background, and in parallel the code execution is continued. This behavior is being described by term asynchronous programming. An Event loop is browser’s mechanism to perform non-blocking operations by providing WebAPIs (setTimeout, setInterval, etc.) which are capable of maintaining callback references in memory.
A scope in JavaScript defines what variables you have access to. There are two kinds of scope – global scope and local scope. Whenever you create a function within another function, you have created a closure. The inner function is the closure. This closure is usually returned so you can use the outer function’s variables at a later time. An IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expression) is a JavaScript function that runs as soon as it is defined.
A regular expression is a sequence of characters that forms a search pattern. When you search for data in a text, you can use this search pattern to describe what you are searching for. A regular expression can be a single character, or a more complicated pattern. Regular expressions can be used to perform all types of text search and text replace operations.
JavaScript modules are a way to structure JavaScript code. Code in a module is isolated from code in other modules and is not in the global scope. JavaScript has had modules for a long time. However, they were implemented via libraries, not built into the language. ES6 is the first time that JavaScript has built-in modules.
When a function is created in JavaScript, the JavaScript engine adds a prototype property to the function. This prototype property is an object (called a prototype object) that has a constructor property by default. The constructor property points back to the function on which prototype object is a property. We can access the function’s prototype property using functionName.prototype.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
