this keyword in javascript

Welcome file

this keyword is used to point at the current object in the code.
For instance: If the code is presently at an object created by the help of the ‘new’ keyword, then ‘this’ keyword will point to the object being created.

It has different values depending on where it is used:

In a method, this refers to the owner object.
Alone, this refers to the global object.
In strict mode this refer to the global object.
In a function, this refers to the global object.
In a function, in strict mode, this is undefined.

In an object method, this refers to the current object.
In the example, this refers to the employee object.

`this` Alone

when this keyword is used alone, not written inside a function or object then it will refer to global object. & In browser window global object will be [object window]
In a browser window the Global object is [object Window]:

var x = this;

`this` in a Function (Default)

In a JavaScript function, the owner of the function is the default binding for this.
So, in a function, this refers to the Global object [object Window].

function empFunction() {
return  this;
}

`this` in Strict mode

In strict mode this also refers to the Global object [object Window]:

Example

"use strict";  
var x = this;

`this` in a Function (Strict)

in JavaScript strict mode does not allow default binding.
So, when used in a function, in strict mode, this is undefined.

Example

"use strict";  
function empFunction() {  
return this;  
}

JavaScript type hoisting with variable function Expression

JavaScript type hoisting with variable function Expression Hoisting is JavaScript default behavior to moving declaration on the top. Variable can be used before its declaration. To understand this, first we need to understand of hoist meaning, hoist means “raise(something) by means of ropes & pulleys”. now we can relate hoisting with JavaScript. JavaScript interpreter moves all declaration on the top at runtime. It is best practice to declare all variable at the top of their respective scopes. , JavaScript is loosely syntax language so it will not throw any error at runtime if the variable used before its declaration. But JavaScript does not allow variable used before its declaration in “use strict” mode. Example 1 In this example, we can see in a normal scenario, when y has declared & then used. in this case, it will give output 10 as excepted. <p id= "demo" ></p> <script> var y; //Declare y y = 10 ;

Life cycle hook

In Angular, every component has a life-cycle, a number of different stages it goes through. Creates the component Renders the component Creates and renders the component children Checks when the component data-bound properties change, and Destroys the component before removing it from the DOM ngOnChanges this method is called once on component’s creation and then every time changes are detected in one of the component’s input properties. export class MyComponent implements OnChanges { ngOnChanges(changes: SimpleChanges) { // Insert Logic Here! } } ngOnInit Invoked when given component has been initialized. This hook is only called once after the first ngOnChanges export class MyComponent implements OnInit { ngOnInit() { // Insert Logic Here! } } ngDoCheck Invoked when the change detector of the given component is invoked. It allows us to implement our own change detection algorithm for the given component. export class MyComponent implements D

DOM(Document Object Model) and BOM(Browser Object Model)

DOM(Document Object Model) The DOM is the Document Object Model, which deals with the document, the HTML elements themselves, It organize the elements of the document in tree structure (DOM tree) and in the DOM tree, all elements of the document are defined as objects (tree nodes) which have properties and methods.When a web page is loaded, the browser creates a DOM tree for all the objects (Html elements) of that page. e.g. document and all traversal you would do in it, events, etc. A Simple DOM Tree BOM(Browser Object Model) The BOM is the Browser Object Model, which deals with browser components aside from the document,like history, location, navigator and screen (as well as some others that vary by browser). The Browser Object Model (BOM) in JavaScript includes the properties and methods for JavaScript to interact with the web browser. BOM provides you with window object, for example, to show the width and height of the window. It also includes the window.scre
