JavaScript is a versatile language that offers powerful features for building complex applications. Here are some key advanced topics to explore:
🔍 1. Closures
A closure is a function that captures the environment in which it was created.
Example:
function createCounter() {
let count = 0;
return () => count++;
}
🧠 2. Prototype Inheritance
JavaScript uses prototype-based inheritance, allowing objects to inherit properties from other objects.
Key Points:
- All objects have a
prototype
property Object.create()
method for manual inheritance__proto__
property for accessing prototype chain
🧩 3. Module Pattern
This pattern helps organize code using closures and prototypes.
Components:
- IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expression)
- Private variables/methods
- Public API
🧪 4. ES6+ Features
Modern JavaScript includes powerful enhancements:
let
/const
for block scoping- Arrow functions
=>
- Classes and modules
- Promises and async/await
⚙️ 5. Asynchronous Programming
Handling asynchronous operations is crucial for performance:
- Callbacks
- Promises
async
/await
fetch()
API
🧩 6. Design Patterns
Common patterns for solving design problems:
- Factory Pattern
- Singleton Pattern
- Observer Pattern
- Module Pattern
