5 useful javascript tricks

In this post, I will show you 5 awesome javascript tricks which will make your life more easier. And will help you to become a better developer. So if you are interested, continue reading.

Trick-1: Remove duplicates from an Array!

This trick is pretty simple. Suppose I have an array which is containing number, strings and booleans. And in this array I want to make sure, that there's no duplicate item. So how do you do do that?

const array = [1, 2, 3, 2, 1, true, true, false, 'Ratul', 1, 5];const filtered__array = [...new Set(array)];console.log(filtered__array) // [ 1, 2, 3, true, false, 'Ratul', 5 ]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Simple!

Trick-2: Turn a Decimal Number to a Normal number

This one is a pretty straight forward trick. Let me show you.

const number = 23.6565console.log(number | 0);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Isn't it so simple!

Trick-3: Getting the Last Value of an Array!

Suppose you have an array of something. Now if you want to have the last item of the array, how will you do that?

const array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]const last_Item = array.slice(-1)console.log(last_Item)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here we go! Now if you put -2 instead of -1, you will get the last two values of the array and then if you give -3 instead of -2, you will get the value of last three index's and so on.

Trick-4: Get a random index value from an array.

Suppose we are doing a lottery programme. We have an array which is containing the names of the prticipants. Now we want only one user randomly from the array to decide a winner.

const participants = ['Ratul', 'George', 'july', 'Padrik', 'G']const winner = participants[Math.floor(Math.random() * participants.length)]console.log(winner) // july was the winner 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Trick-5: Detect the most lengthy word in an array

Create an array and add some different strings. Now print the most lengthy string of this array.

const array = ['Apple', 'Pine-apple', 'Banana', 'Jack-fruit']let most_lengthy_string = ''array.forEach((item) => {  if (item.length > most_lengthy_string.length) {    most_lengthy_string = item  }})console.log(most_lengthy_string)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Simple! So let me explain you what's going on here. Firstly we have array which is containing some strings. And After that, I have created a variable which is containing an empty string. And now, to detect the most lengthy string in this array, I need to take a look at all of the array items So I have looped through the array. And if the array's item length is greater that the length of our "most_lengthy_string" The we are reassigning the value of the variable and after all I am just printing out the variable. That's all!
