Arrow functions in JavaScript

-
Since their introduction arrow function have simplified how we declare functions in JavaScript arrow functions are similar to lambadas in kotlin programming language
Instead of writing a function as
function time (param){
    return Date.now()
}
You can simplify code by rewriting it as simply
let time (param) =>  {
    return Date.now()
}
Alternatively you can use a neatier syntax
let time = param => Date.now()
Arrow functions this context does not refer to their scope.

How to wait for a promise within a loop block

-
JavaScript promises enable developers to write asynchronous applications in JavaScript Loops are ways of iterating elements For instance doing an asynchronous task within a for loop can be done as follows; Note that lag is used to emulate some delay. const items = [1, 2, 3, 4] const lag = async (delay) => {     return new Promise((resolve) =>         setTimeout(() => res(`${delay / 1000} sec`), delay)) } items.forEach(async (item) => {     const seconds = await lag(1000 * item)     console.log(seconds) }) expected output 1 sec 2 sec 3 sec 4 sec After running the code above every second some text was printed

How to use canvas context rect method for drawing rectangles

-
canvas context rect method does as it says. It's used for drawing a rectangle on a canvas context Parameters context.rect(positionX, positionY, Width, Height) PositionX specifies the x coordinate at which the rectangle should be drawn at on the context PositionY specifies the y coordinate at which the rectangle should be drawn at on the context Width specifies the width of the rectangle Height specifies the height of the rectangle Stroking and filling the rectangle In order for the rectangle to be actually visible you have to either stroke it or fill it with a color. Stroke Stroking a rectangle means to draw a line that joins all of it's vertices To specify the fill color you should set it and call stroke to draw context.strokeStyle = "#colors" context.stroke() Fill Similar to srokings filling a rectangle means to paint it's inner bounding box with a specified color context.fillStyle = "#colors" context.fill() Example context.rect...

Ways to iterate array items in JavaScript

-
A few days ago i introduced arrays and described what they are and how their elements can be iterated in JavaScript using 'for loop' There many other ways to iterate arrays namely Array.forEach, Array.map, var array = ['eat', 'code', 'sleep'] Using forEach array.forEach(function(value, index){     console.log(index + ': '+ value) }) // result expected // 0: "eat" // 1: "code" // 2: "sleep" Using Array.map array.map(function(value, index){     console.log(index + ': '+ value) }) // result expected // 0: "eat" // 1: "code" // 2: "sleep" It's a wrapp
