Self-executing function in js function

When I write code, I often write similar code in tpl's :

$(function(){ alert("我好饿"); }); When I first started writing it, I only knew that it didn't need to be called, just directly Execution, just like this, I wrote a lot of code. Having said that, let’s talk about the loading sequence of this product. If you write the code directly into the script tag, the code inside the script tag will be executed when the page is loaded. If an unloaded DOM is used in this code or an unloaded method is called, an error will be reported. Closer to home, this function is actually a self-executing function. Many people will professionally call it "immediately called function expression".

Here, I quote limlimlim's blog, which feels more professional...original address

When you declare a function like function foo(){} or var foo = function(){} When, you can achieve self-execution by adding a bracket after it, such as foo(), look at the code:

// 因为想下面第一个声明的function可以在后面加一个括弧()就可以自己执行了，比如foo()，// 因为foo仅仅是function() { /* code */ }这个表达式的一个引用 var foo = function(){ /* code */ } // ...是不是意味着后面加个括弧都可以自动执行？ function(){ /* code */ }(); // SyntaxError: Unexpected token (// The above code, if it even runs, the second code will error, because When the parser parses the global function or function internal function keyword, it defaults to a function declaration instead of a function expression. If you do not explicitly tell the compiler, it will declare a function without a name by default and throw A syntax error message because the function declaration requires a name.

What’s interesting is that even if you add a name to the wrong code above, it will prompt a syntax error, but the reason is different from the above. Adding parentheses () after an expression will execute the expression immediately, but adding parentheses () after a statement has a completely different meaning. It is just a grouping operator.

// 下面这个function在语法上是没问题的，但是依然只是一个语句// 加上括号()以后依然会报错，因为分组操作符需要包含表达式 function foo(){ /* code */ }(); // SyntaxError: Unexpected token ) // 但是如果你在括弧()里传入一个表达式，将不会有异常抛出// 但是foo函数依然不会执行function foo(){ /* code */ }( 1 ); // 因为它完全等价于下面这个代码，一个function声明后面，又声明了一个毫无关系的表达式： function foo(){ /* code */ } ( 1 ); To solve the above problem, it is very simple. We only need to use curly brackets to enclose all the code. Because statements cannot be included in brackets () in JavaScript, so in At this point, when the parser parses the function keyword, it will parse the corresponding code into a function expression instead of a function declaration.

// 下面2个括弧()都会立即执行(function () { /* code */ } ()); // 推荐使用这个(function () { /* code */ })(); // 但是这个也是可以用的// 由于括弧()和JS的&&，异或，逗号等操作符是在函数表达式和函数声明上消除歧义的// 所以一旦解析器知道其中一个已经是表达式了，其它的也都默认为表达式了// 不过，请注意下一章节的内容解释var i = function () { return 10; } ();true && function () { /* code */ } ();0, function () { /* code */ } ();// 如果你不在意返回值，或者不怕难以阅读// 你甚至可以在function前面加一元操作符号!function () { /* code */ } ();~function () { /* code */ } ();-function () { /* code */ } ();+function () { /* code */ } ();// 还有一个情况，使用new关键字,也可以用，但我不确定它的效率// new function () { /* code */ }new function () { /* code */ } () // 如果需要传递参数，只需要加上括弧() The brackets mentioned above are used to disambiguate. In fact, they are not necessary at all, because the brackets are originally expected to be function expressions, but we still use them, mainly for It is convenient for developers to read. When you assign these automatically executed expressions to a variable, we will see the parentheses (() at the beginning. You can understand it quickly without having to pull the code to the end to see if there are any additions. Brackets.

In this post, we have always called it a self-executing function, to be precise, a self-executing anonymous function, but the original English author has always advocated its use. The author gave a bunch of examples to explain the name of Immediately-Invoked Function Expression. Well, let's take a look:

// 这是一个自执行的函数，函数内部执行自身，递归function foo() { foo(); }// 这是一个自执行的匿名函数，因为没有标示名称// 必须使用arguments.callee属性来执行自己var foo = function () { arguments.callee(); };// 这可能也是一个自执行的匿名函数，仅仅是foo标示名称引用它自身// 如果你将foo改变成其它的，你将得到一个used-to-self-execute匿名函数var foo = function () { foo(); };// 有些人叫这个是自执行的匿名函数（即便它不是），因为它没有调用自身，它只是立即执行而已。(function () { /* code */ } ());// 为函数表达式添加一个标示名称，可以方便Debug// 但一定命名了，这个函数就不再是匿名的了(function foo() { /* code */ } ());// 立即调用的函数表达式（IIFE）也可以自执行，不过可能不常用罢了(function () { arguments.callee(); } ()); (function foo() { foo(); } ());// 另外，下面的代码在黑莓5里执行会出错，因为在一个命名的函数表达式里，他的名称是undefined// 呵呵，奇怪(function foo() { foo(); } ()); Hope here Some examples can help everyone understand what is self-execution and what is immediate calling (I only understand a little bit here, long live the theory)

limlimlim also talked about Module mode## below. #, this is an important thing I need to learn in the future. Of course, there is closure before this (big head)

Let me show you an example

// 创建一个立即调用的匿名函数表达式// return一个变量，其中这个变量里包含你要暴露的东西// 返回的这个变量将赋值给counter，而不是外面声明的function自身var counter = (function () {var i = 0;return { get: function () {return i; }, set: function (val) { i = val; }, increment: function () {return ++i; } }; } ());// counter是一个带有多个属性的对象，上面的代码对于属性的体现其实是方法counter.get(); // 0counter.set(3); counter.increment(); // 4counter.increment(); // 5counter.i; // undefined 因为i不是返回对象的属性i; // 引用错误: i 没有定义（因为i只存在于闭包）
