JavaScript object
Everything in JavaScript is an object: strings, numbers, arrays, dates, etc.
In JavaScript, an object is data with properties and methods.
JavaScript object is an unordered collection data type, which consists of several key-value pairs.
Object definition
You can use characters to define and create JavaScript objects:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>php中文网(php.cn)</title> <script language="JavaScript"> var person = new Object(); person.name="kevin"; person.age=31; alert(person.name); alert(person["age"]) </script> </head> <body> </body> </html>
Object properties
It can be said that "JavaScript objects are containers of variables" .
However, we usually think of "JavaScript objects as containers of key-value pairs".
Key-value pairs are usually written as name : value (key and value are separated by colon).
Key-value pairs in JavaScript objects are often called object properties.
JavaScript objects are containers for property variables.
The object key-value pair is written similar to:
Associative array in PHP and Python Dictionary Hash table in C language Hash map in Java Hash table in Ruby and Perl
JavaScript objects are dynamically typed, and you can freely add or delete attributes to an object:
var xiaoming = {
name: '小明'
##};xiaoming.age; // undefined
xiaoming.age = 18; // Add an age attribute
##xiaoming.age; // 18delete xiaoming .age; // Delete age attribute
##xiaoming.age; // undefined
delete xiaoming['name']; // Delete name attribute
xiaoming.name; // undefined
delete xiaoming.school; //Deleting a non-existent school attribute will not Error
Object methods
The method of an object defines a function and is stored as a property of the object.
Object methods are called (as a function) by adding ().
This instance accesses the fullName() method of the person object:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>php中文网(php.cn)</title> </head> <body> <p id="demo"></p> <script> var person = { firstName: "Tom", lastName : "Jay", id : 666, fullName : function() { return this.firstName + " and " + this.lastName; } }; document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = person.fullName(); </script> </body> </html>
Accessing object methods
You can create object methods using the following syntax:
methodName : function() { code lines }
You can access object methods using the following syntax:
objectName.methodName()
Usually fullName() is used as a method of the person object, and fullName is used as a property.
There are many ways to create, use and modify JavaScript objects.
There are also many ways to create, use and modify properties and methods.
