JavaScript is a weakly typed (or dynamically typed) language, that is, the type of variables is undefined.
x = 5; // 5 x = x + 'A'; // '5A'
In the above code, the variable x is a numeric value at first, and then a string. The type is completely determined by the current value. This is called a weak type.
The advantage of weak typing is that it is very flexible and can write very concise code. However, for large projects, strong typing is more beneficial, as it can reduce the complexity of the system, detect type errors at compile time, and reduce the burden on programmers.
Some people have been trying to make JavaScript a strongly typed language. Until strong typing is finally officially supported, this article introduces three solutions that are available now.
1. TypeScript
TypeScript is a programming language launched by Microsoft in 2012. It is a superset of JavaScript and can be compiled into JavaScript for execution. Its biggest feature is that it supports strong typing and ES6 Class.
First, install TypeScript.
$ npm install -g typescript
Then, specify the type for the variable.
// greet.ts function greet(person: string) { console.log("Hello, " + person); } greet([0, 1, 2]);
The above is the code of the file greet.ts. The suffix ts indicates that this is TypeScript code. The parameters of the function greet are declared as strings, but when called, an array is passed in.
Using the tsc command to compile a ts file into a js file will throw a type mismatch error.
$ tsc greeter.ts greet.ts(5,9): error TS2345: Argument of type 'number[]' is not assignable to parameter of type 'string'.
2. Flowcheck
Flowcheck is a lightweight type assertion library that can check whether the variable type is correct at runtime.
First, install Flowcheck.
$ npm install -g flowcheck
Then, write a script that declares the variable type.
function sum(a: number, b: number) { return a + b; } sum('hello','world')
Next, use the following command to convert the script into a normal JavaScript file.
$ browserify -t flowcheck -t [reactify --strip-types] \ input.js -o output.js
The converted file is as follows.
var _f = require("flowcheck/assert"); function sum(a, b) { _f.check(arguments, _f.arguments([_f.number, _f.number])); return a + b; }
You can see that an assertion library is inserted into the code. Before each function is run, an assertion will be executed and an error will be reported if the types do not match.
$ node output.js // throw new TypeError(message); ^ TypeError: Expected an instance of number got "hello", context: arguments / [number, number] / 0 Expected an instance of number got "world", context: arguments / [number, number] / 1
3. Flow
Flow is a type checking tool released by Facebook in 2014 to check the source code of React.
The installation command is as follows.
$ npm install --global flow-bin
If the installation is unsuccessful (this is the case for me), you need to compile it from the source code yourself.
There are many uses of Flow, I will only give a few examples. The two tools introduced earlier can only check variables with declared types, while Flow can infer variable types.
// hello.js /* @flow */ function foo(x) { return x*10; } foo("Hello, world!");
The above is the file hello.js. The first line of the file is a comment indicating that Flow needs to be used to check the variable type.
$ flow check hello.js:7:5,19: string This type is incompatible with /hello.js:4:10,13: number
Run the flow check command and get an error message: The expected parameter of function foo is a numeric value, but it is actually a string.
Flow also supports type declaration of variables.
/* @flow */ function foo(x: string, y: number): string { return x.length * y; } foo("Hello", 42);
Another interesting feature is that Flow can convert type annotations into type declarations.
// annotation.js /** @param {number} x @return {number} */ function square(x) { return x * x; } square(5);
Run the flow port command and you will get the following results.
$ flow port annotation.js function square(x: number) : number { return x * x; }

去掉重复并排序的方法:1、使用“Array.from(new Set(arr))”或者“[…new Set(arr)]”语句,去掉数组中的重复元素,返回去重后的新数组;2、利用sort()对去重数组进行排序,语法“去重数组.sort()”。

方法:1、利用“点击元素对象.unbind("click");”方法,该方法可以移除被选元素的事件处理程序;2、利用“点击元素对象.off("click");”方法,该方法可以移除通过on()方法添加的事件处理程序。

foreach不是es6的方法。foreach是es3中一个遍历数组的方法,可以调用数组的每个元素,并将元素传给回调函数进行处理,语法“array.forEach(function(当前元素,索引,数组){...})”;该方法不处理空数组。

mPDF
mPDF is a PHP library that can generate PDF files from UTF-8 encoded HTML. The original author, Ian Back, wrote mPDF to output PDF files "on the fly" from his website and handle different languages. It is slower than original scripts like HTML2FPDF and produces larger files when using Unicode fonts, but supports CSS styles etc. and has a lot of enhancements. Supports almost all languages, including RTL (Arabic and Hebrew) and CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean). Supports nested block-level elements (such as P, DIV),
