This one is very new to me :
I really want such kind of functionality and till now I thought it doesn't exist but thanks to use. Now I don't require extra check for undefined or null value.
This is very very useful to me and also other tips as well.
Thanks for sharing @jagroop2001
I recommend using
??=Nullish Coalescing Assignment rather that Logical OR assignment unless you specifically want to exclude falsy values rather than just nullish.@oculus42 ,
Great recommendation! Using
??=(Nullish Coalescing Assignment) is indeed a better choice when you want to assign values only if the left-hand side isnullorundefined, excluding other falsy values. It helps avoid unintended overrides when falsy values like0or''are present. Thanks for highlighting that distinction! If you have more tips, feel free to share!Yeah, I actually have never use that before either, I usually use ?? for a fallback value if I expect something maybe undefined/null.
@jovian ,
That makes sense! The ?? operator is great for providing fallback values, especially when you want to handle undefined or null specifically
Thanks @hraifi , I also learn this from one of my senior.
I find your all blogs to be quite informative.

This is ninja code; you should avoid such practices in projects. Writing code that is easily readable at a glance is important.
It's your choice!!
Same here i have never seen this ||= or this ??=
Isnβt the new copy in trick 10 is a deep copy instead of a shallow copy? Shallow copies have the references to the original objects. Deep copies are deep cause there is no reference left in them and you can modify them without changing the originals.
Try
It's a shallow copy because nested objects stay referenced. For deep copies you should use
structuredClone()Yes, you are totally right. With nested objects the result will be shallow copy but the example is still a deep copy. Object.assign can create deep and shallow copy based on the original object. The article has beginner hashtag on it and by the context of the trick I felt that the description is not showing example what it originally aimed for. π
You're wrong.
Source: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...
Nope. I think the problem here is that the example show the deep copy side of this new object with primitive properties. It's clearly says "without changing the original" but it can change the original if it had nested property. Yes, it's a useful trick if someone want to modify the primitive properties of a copy but the statement is not true for all use cases. For an article with the #beginner tag it's not so straightforward in my opinion.

@rolandcsosz ,
Great observation! The new copy in Trick 10 does indeed create a deep copy, as it avoids references to the original objects. Shallow copies only replicate the first level, retaining references to nested objects. Thanks for clarifying that distinction! Itβs an important detail for understanding how data is managed in JavaScript. If you have any more thoughts, Iβd love to hear them!
The
||=Operator from Trick 3 would be perfect for Trick 12, really a missed opportunity and classic example of "Do as I say, not as I do" hahaha@khankudo ,
Haha, that's a great point! The
||=operator would definitely fit well in Trick 12. Itβs a classic case of learning from our own mistakes, right? Thanks for the feedback! If you have any other ideas or tweaks, Iβm all ears!On item 11, it is worth noting that function memorisation only really works for pure functions. If external state is modified and has the potential to impact the output, the cached values cannot be trusted.
Pure functions: same input => same output.
Thanks for pointing it out π
Thanks! Must save as kind of a cheat-sheet.
I have this one coming up in PRs to turn big arrays to maped object (or a
Map):Also, for 12 (grouping an array) we have
Object.groupBy()coming up πThere's a difference between a Map and an Object.
Yes there is !!
Of course. I meant that creating a Map would look pretty similar:
const mapped = new Map(array.map((item) => [item.id, item]));Nice @idanen , sounds like you've got some great refactoring going on!
On number 12, you can now just use Object.groupBy, developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W... - however, reduce is extremely powerful and that example is a good example where you need to perform other operations on the grouped data.
@olivergrimsley ,
Absolutely! With
Object.groupBy, itβs become much simpler to group data in one line. But you're rightβusing reduce allows for more complex operations on the grouped data, making it a valuable tool in many situations. Both approaches have their merits, depending on the use case. Thanks for pointing that out! If you have more insights, Iβd love to hear them!What's the use of this
Dynamic Imports for Lazy Loading?. Is it provide any benefit ?Hey @john12 ,
Dynamic imports allows us to load modules only when needed,
reducing the initial load timeandimproving app performance.This on-demand loading enhances user experience by ensuring faster interactions and reducing the overall bundle size.
It also enables code splitting, making it easier to manage and optimize your application efficiently.
ohh okay, got it.
Thank you for this wonderful explanation.
your welcome @john12
improve performance
For 19 you don't need to use a template literal, you can just
console.log(Math.round(num * 100) / 100);directly@skhmt ,
You're absolutely right! Using
console.log(Math.round(num * 100) / 100);is a straightforward way to round the number without the extra complexity of a template literal. Thanks for pointing that out! Always good to streamline the code. If you have more insights, feel free to share!Can't you just do
num.toFixed(2)?Yes, using
num.toFixed(2)is definitely an option. I prefer this in TypeScript, but keep in mind that it changes the number to a string. If you need to convert it back to a number, you'll have to do that separately, which can be a bit cumbersome.Nice points, some of them has more modern alternatives like using spreading instead of
Object.assignand array concat orObject.groupByinstead of using reduce workaround.Using
||=for default values can cause unintended misbehaviors so mentioning??=is would be nice ππ»Thanks @mehyaa for sharing your thoughts!!
Thanks for sharing @jagroop2001 Your function is really new for me , and it's also helpful ,
If I need a background removal service color code which one is perfect for me
Thanks @robertjameszenith for the kind words! π ,
As per my understanding,
If you want something with background removal in JavaScript, a tip is to use
canvasto manipulate imagesβapplyingctx.clearRecton areas you want transparent works well. You can also use libraries likefabric.jsorremove.bgAPI for more complex removals.If it's not what you are looking for please explain your query in detail ?
@jagroop2001 thank you for trying to understand my problem, yes remove bg is automatically remove any kind of photo, but remove.bg do not remove hair photo smoothly. I want to know you how can i implement remove background transparent background with color code in Zenith Clipping front page .
what is the latest code
Okay, I understand your problem however I haven't collide with such type of issue before. remove bg works in my case but you can try
pix2pix with TensorFlow.jsif remove bg doesn't work. @robertjameszenithThank you , If i face some problem i will contact you , please never mind
Sure @robertjameszenith
Look at those bots go... π€£
Each tip is very useful.
Thansk @paxnw
So many of these are useful I use a few all the time.
Good to know @andrewbaisden
Great tips from ChatGPT...
(tip: try and change the name ChatGPT gives, Alice is reserved for ChatGPT examples)
Olay @jocedeo1 but it's not taken from ChatGPT it's from my experience.
About why I choose name Alice because recently I am doing leetcode basically dynamic programming questions and name Alice is frequently used in a series of it.
Also nowadays, it's easy to say it's GPT based blogs but in reality I dedicated time to this and put my all efforts to list it down with my full time job and other do's.
Informative content
