Array max js

-

A short note about finding the maximum value in a JavaScript array with numeric values.

The Array object in JS does not have its own max method. But we can add it.

Array.prototype.max = function () {
    return Math.max.apply(null, this);
}

We borrowed the method we are interested in from the Math object. It will work like this:

let arr = [3, 5, 6, 1, 10, '12', 0];
arr.max(); //12

If the array contains string values that cannot be cast to a number, the method returns NaN.

You can do without modifying the global Array object.

let arr = [3, 5, 6, 1, 10, '12', 56, 0];
Math.max.apply(null, arr); //56

And according to the syntax of ES6 you can write even easier

let arr = [3, 5, 6, 1, 10, '12', 56, 0];
Math.max(...arr); //56

JavaScript Inheritance and Classes

-
In many programming languages implemented inheritance. And it also exists in JavaScript. First, consider prototype inheritance. We describe the function constructor function Animal(name, weight, color){ this.name = name || 'someAnimal'; this.weight = weight; this.color = color; //do some actions during initialization console.log(this.name + ' construct animal'); } // write the method to the prototype Animal.prototype.sayName = function(){ console.log(this.name); } We describe the constructor function that inherits the Animal class. And we will expand it, we will add in addition own properties and methods function Mammal(name, weight, color, limbs){ Animal.apply(this, arguments); this.limbs = limbs || 4; console.log(this.name + ' construct mammal'); } Mammal.prototype = Object.create(Animal.prototype); Mammal.prototype.constructor = Mammal; Mammal.prototype.run = function(){ console.log('run'); } Cre

Typical gulpfile.js

-
The file is written for Gulp 4 . The file is designed to work with styles ( SCSS ) and JavaScript . All minify and compile sourcemaps for debugging. Third-party scripts and styles are in separate files. const production = ( process.env.NODE_ENV == 'production' ); //base part let {src, dest, parallel, series, watch} = require('gulp'), rename = require('gulp-rename'), sourcemaps = require('gulp-sourcemaps'); //css part let sass = require('gulp-sass'), cleanCSS = require('gulp-clean-css'), autoprefixer = require('gulp-autoprefixer'); const babel = require('gulp-babel'), uglify = require('gulp-uglify-es').default, include = require("gulp-include"); let pathFiles = { build: { css: './css/', js: './js/' }, src: { css: './src/scss/**/*.scss', js: './src/js/**/*.js' } }; function swallowError(error){

Swipe events on touch devices

-
Every day sensory devices are being introduced into our lives. These devices have specific events, unlike the desktop. One of these events is the swipe . Especially often have to deal with it when developing a mobile version of the site. Code: (() => { let initialPoint; let finalPoint; document.addEventListener('touchstart', function(event) { initialPoint=event.changedTouches[0]; }, false); document.addEventListener('touchend', function(event) { finalPoint=event.changedTouches[0]; let xAbs = Math.abs(initialPoint.pageX - finalPoint.pageX); let yAbs = Math.abs(initialPoint.pageY - finalPoint.pageY); if (xAbs > 20 || yAbs > 20) { if (xAbs > yAbs) { if (finalPoint.pageX < initialPoint.pageX){ // to left } else{ // to right } } else { if (final
