ES6 Tutorial

Welcome to the ES6 tutorial! This guide will help you understand the new features introduced in ECMAScript 6 (ES6), also known as ECMAScript 2015. ES6 is a significant update to the JavaScript language and brings many improvements, including better syntax, more robust features, and improved performance.

Overview of ES6 Features

Here are some of the key features of ES6:

• Let and Const: Block-scoped declarations of variables
• Arrow Functions: More concise syntax for writing functions
• Template Literals: Easy way to create multi-line strings
• Promises: Improved handling of asynchronous operations
• Modules: Better way to organize and share code

Let and Const

Before ES6, all variables were declared using var, which was function-scoped. ES6 introduces let and const for block-scoped declarations.

• let allows you to declare variables that are limited to the block in which they are defined.
• const is similar to let, but once a variable is declared with const, its value cannot be reassigned.

if (true) {
  let a = 10;
  const b = 20;
}

console.log(a); // Output: 10
console.log(b); // Output: 20

Arrow Functions

Arrow functions provide a more concise syntax for writing functions. They are often used in callbacks and event handlers.

const greet = () => {
  return 'Hello, World!';
};

console.log(greet()); // Output: Hello, World!

Template Literals

Template literals allow you to create multi-line strings and embed expressions inside strings.

const name = 'John';
const age = 30;

const message = `My name is ${name}, and I am ${age} years old.`;

console.log(message);
// Output: My name is John, and I am 30 years old.

Promises

Promises are a better way to handle asynchronous operations in JavaScript. They allow you to write code that is easier to read and maintain.

function fetchData() {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    // Simulate an asynchronous operation
    setTimeout(() => {
      resolve('Data fetched successfully');
    }, 2000);
  });
}

fetchData()
  .then((data) => {
    console.log(data);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
  });

Modules

ES6 introduces modules, which allow you to organize your code into separate files and import only the parts you need.

// myModule.js
export function greet() {
  return 'Hello, World!';
}

// main.js
import { greet } from './myModule.js';

console.log(greet()); // Output: Hello, World!
