JavaScript has evolved significantly over the years, introducing powerful features that enable developers to build complex applications. Here are some key advanced topics:
1. Closures 🔒
A closure is a function that has access to its outer function's scope even after the outer function has finished executing.
2. Prototype Chain 🧬
JavaScript uses prototype-based inheritance, where objects inherit properties and methods from their prototypes.
3. ES6+ Features 📈
Modern JavaScript (ES6+) includes features like:
- Arrow Functions → compact syntax
- Template Literals
`
for multi-line strings - Destructuring Assignment for unpacking values
- Promises & Async/Await for asynchronous operations
- Classes for object-oriented programming
4. Advanced Data Structures 🧱
Explore arrays, maps, sets, and more:
Map
for key-value pairsSet
for unique valuesProxy
for monitoring and modifying operations
5. Performance Optimization ⚡
Tips to improve JavaScript efficiency:
- Minimize DOM manipulation
- Use
requestAnimationFrame
for animations - Optimize loops and avoid unnecessary computations
