Data Types

var num = 8;                               // number
var strg = "Joe";                          // string
var vobj = {first: "John", last:"Doe"};    // object
var booli = false;                         // boolean
var arr = ["HTML","CSS","JS"];             // array
var a; typeof a;                           // undefined
var a = null;                              // value null

const pi = 3.14;

typeof strg                                // =string

Arrays

var title = new Array();
title[0] = "Mr.";
title[1] = "Mrs.";
element = title.slice(-1);

concat()
filter()
forEach()
join()

sort()

Objects (key : value)

var user = { firstname: "Peter", lastname: "Johnson" }
user.phone = "01234"

user.firstname
user["firstname"]

var result = arrayName.filter(obj => {
  return obj.key === value
})

Strings

charAt()
charCodeAt()
concat()
fromCharCode()
indexOf()
lastIndexOf()
match()
replace()              zpl = zpl.replace("1234567890",msg.serialnumber)
search()
slice()                checksum = String(sum).slice(-1)  # get last digit
split() 
substr()
substring()
toLowerCase()
toUpperCase()
valueOf()

trim()                 remove whitespace from both sides
trimStart()

includes()             if (string.includes(".prn")) {}

• Remove ANSI colors from string

payload = payload.replace(/[\u001b\u009b][[()#;?]*(?:[0-9]{1,4}(?:;[0-9]{0,4})*)?[0-9A-ORZcf-nqry=><]/g, '');

• add leading zeros

var string = "000000" + integer.toString()
string = string.substr(string.length-6)

Conversions

string = integer.toString()

integer = parseInt(string) + 1

Functions

function addition(number1, number2) {
  return number1 + number2;
}


var person = {
    name: 'Peter',
    getName: function () {
        return this.name;
    }
}

person.getName()

Dates & Times

d = new Date();
var year = d.getFullYear();
var month = d.getMonth() + 1;

function ISO8601_week_no() 
  {
     dt = new Date(); 
     var tdt = new Date(dt.valueOf());
     var dayn = (dt.getDay() + 6) % 7;
     tdt.setDate(tdt.getDate() - dayn + 3);
     var firstThursday = tdt.valueOf();
     tdt.setMonth(0, 1);
     if (tdt.getDay() !== 4) 
       {
      tdt.setMonth(0, 1 + ((4 - tdt.getDay()) + 7) % 7);
        }
     return 1 + Math.ceil((firstThursday - tdt) / 604800000);
  }

Random

Math.random();                         float (0.0 - 1.0)

Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);        int (0 - 9)
Math.floor(Math.random() * 11);        int (0 - 10)


Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min) ) + min;
