JavaScript- Scopes and Closures

Scope

  • The scope is the set of variables, objects, and functions you have access to.

Create Scope 
  • Use functions
Declaring Variables
  •  If you do write operation without declaring variable -> work fine
    • foo = 10; console.log(foo);  -> 10
  • If you do read operation without declaring variable -> doesn't work fine
    • console.log(foo) -> syntax error
Window Object
  • Inbuilt object provided by JavaScript itself
  • Every global variable and functions are part of window object
JavaScript is both compilations and interpreted language
  • Compilation: register variables, method names, arguments in global scope
  • Interpretation: assign values to global scope and execute the code
  • global scope problem: undeclared function inside the variable it goes to global scope
Hoisting
  • It doesn't matter where you declare your variable (In the compilation step it include all variables automatically before the interpretation)
Strict Mode
  • To get strict mode: "use strict"
  • It doesn't allow use variables without declaring it before. 
Closure
  • Function remembers it's declaration scope at every stage when it executes
Callback
  • setTimeout(function,time)
  • The function you want to execute after waiting defined time(milliseconds)
Important Facts
  • JavaScript is not block scoping language: {} doesn't create blocks in JavaScript
  • IIFE: Immediately Invoke Function Expressions
    • Execute anonymous functions directly
  • When executing functions each time new copy of local variables are produce

Object Oriented Programming (OOP)

Object Object is an entity that has state and behavior Class Collection of objects is known as class. There are four main types of OOP concepts Inheritance Object acquire all the properties and behavior of parent object Improve code re-usability Polymorphism One task is performed by different ways Use method overload and override Abstraction Hiding internal details and showing functionality Use abstract class and interfaces Encapsulation Binding code and data into a single unit

Model-View-Controller (MVC)

MVC(Model-View-Controller) is a software design pattern.It divided your applications into three components Model: Contain business rules and application Data View: Presentation layer (user interface) Controller: Handles the communication between view and model  Objectives of MVC Promote code usability Implement separation of concerns  Separate user interface and software logic Web Frameworks That Use MVC There are several web frameworks that use MVC design pattern.  Ruby On Rails (Ruby) Angular (JS) Django (Python) Express (JS) Flask (Python) Codeigniter (PHP) Simple UseCase for MVC In this use case scenario, Browser sends information that needs to create Employee Object, and Controller save that information in Model and Update the Employee View. Following Image shows the class diagram for above Scenario. Implementation:  https://github.com/kaosadi17/MVC
