I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...
There are two ways to add new properties to an object:
ReplyDeletevar obj = {
key1: value1,
key2: value2
};
Using dot notation:
obj.key3 = "value3";
Using square bracket notation:
obj["key3"] = "value3";
The first form is used when you know the name of the property. The second form is used when the name of the property is dynamically determined. Like in this example:
var getProperty = function (propertyName) {
return obj[propertyName];
};
getProperty("key1");
getProperty("key2");
getProperty("key3");
A real JavaScript array can be constructed using either:
The Array literal notation:
var arr = [];
The Array constructor notation:
var arr = new Array();
You could use either of these (provided key3 is the acutal key you want to use)
ReplyDeletearr[ 'key3' ] = value3;
or
arr.key3 = value3;
If key3 is a variable, then you should do:
var key3 = 'a_key';
var value3 = 3;
arr[ key3 ] = value3;
After this, requesting arr.a_key would return the value of value3, a literal 3.
arr.key3 = value3;
ReplyDeletebecause your arr is not really an array... It's a prototype object. The real array would be:
var arr = [{key1: value1}, {key2: value2}];
but it's still not right. It should actually be:
var arr = [{key: key1, value: value1}, {key: key2, value: value2}];
Your example shows an Object, not an Array. In that case, the preferred way to add a field to an Object is to just assign to it, like so:
ReplyDeletearr.key3 = value3;
arr.push({key3: value3});
ReplyDeleteYou can either add it this way:
ReplyDeletearr['key3'] = value3;
or this way:
arr.key3 = value3;
The answers suggesting keying into the object with the variable key3 would only work if the value of key3 was 'key3'.
arr.push({key3: value3}); doesn't work :)
