JavaScript Cheatsheet
JavaScript Basics
Set of JavaScript basic syntax to add, execute and write basic programming paradigms in Javascript
On Page Script
Adding internal JavaScript to HTML
<script type="text/javascript"> //JS code goes here </script>
External JS File
Adding external JavaScript to HTML
<script src="filename.js"></script>
Functions
JavaScript Function syntax
function nameOfFunction () {
// function body
DOM Element
Changing content of a DOM Element
document.getElementById("elementID").innerHTML = "Hello World!";
Output
This will print the value of a in JavaScript console
console.log(a);
Conditional Statements
Conditional statements are used to perform operations based on some conditions.
If Statement
The block of code to be executed, when the condition specified is true.

if (condition) {
// block of code to be executed if the condition is true
If-else Statement
If the condition for the if block is false, then the else block will be executed.
if (condition) {
// block of code to be executed if the condition is true
} else {
// block of code to be executed if the condition is false
Else-if Statement
A basic if-else ladder
if (condition1) {
// block of code to be executed if condition1 is true
} else if (condition2) {
// block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is true
} else {
// block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is false
Switch Statement
Switch case statement in JavaScript
switch(expression) {
case x:
// code block
break;
case y:
// code block
break;
default:
// code block
Iterative Statements (Loops)

Iterative statement facilitates programmer to execute any block of code lines repeatedly and can be
controlled as per conditions added by the programmer.
For Loop
For loop syntax in javascript
for (statement 1; statement 2; statement 3) {
// code block to be executed
While Loop
Runs the code till the specified condition is true
while (condition) {
// code block to be executed
Do While Loop
A do while loop is executed at least once despite the condition being true or false
do {
// run this code in block
i++;
} while (condition);
Strings
The string is a sequence of characters that is used for storing and managing text data.

Returns the character from the specified index.
str.charAt(3)
concat method

index of method
Returns the index of the first occurrence of the specified character from the string else -1 if not found.
str.indexOf('substr')
match method
Searches a string for a match against a regular expression.
str.match(/(chapter \d+(\.\d)*)/i;)
replace method
Searches a string for a match against a specified string or char and returns a new string by replacing the
specified values.
str1.replace(str2)
search method
Searches a string against a specified value.
str.search('term')
split method
Splits a string into an array consisting of substrings.
str.split('\n')
substring method
Returns a substring of a string containing characters from the specified indices.
str.substring(0,5)
Arrays
The array is a collection of data items of the same type. In simple terms, it is a variable that contains multiple
values.

Mouse Events
Any change in the state of an object is referred to as an Event. With the help of JS, you can handle events,
i.e., how any specific HTML tag will work when the user does something.
click
Fired when an element is clicked
element.addEventListener('click', ()=>{
// Code to be executed when the event is fired
});
oncontextmenu

element.addEventListener('contextmenu', ()=>{
});
dblclick

element.addEventListener('dblclick', ()=>{
});
mouseenter

element.addEventListener('mouseenter', ()=>{
});
mouseleave
Fired when an element is exited by the mouse arrow
element.addEventListener('mouseleave', ()=>{
});
mousemove
Fired when the mouse is moved inside the element
element.addEventListener('mousemove', ()=>{
});
Keyboard Events
keydown
Fired when the user is pressing a key on the keyboard
element.addEventListener('keydown', ()=>{
});

keypress
Fired when the user presses the key on the keyboard
element.addEventListener('keypress', ()=>{
});
keyup
Fired when the user releases a key on the keyboard
element.addEventListener('keyup', ()=>{
});
Errors
Errors are thrown by the compiler or interpreter whenever they find any fault in the code, and it can be of any
type like syntax error, run-time error, logical error, etc. JS provides some functions to handle the errors.
try and catch
Try the code block and execute catch when err is thrown
try {
Block of code to try
catch(err) {
Block of code to handle errors
Window Methods
Methods that are available from the window object
alert method
Used to alert something on the screen
alert()
blur method
The blur() method removes focus from the current window.
blur()
setInterval
Keeps executing code at a certain interval
setInterval(() => {
// Code to be executed
}, 1000);
setTimeout
Executes the code after a certain interval of time
setTimeout(() => {
// Code to be executed
}, 1000);
close
The Window. close() method closes the current window
window.close()
confirm
The window.confirm() instructs the browser to display a dialog with an optional message, and to wait until the
user either confirms or cancels
window.confirm('Are you sure?')
open
Opens a new window
window.open("https://www.codewithharry.com");
prompt
Prompts the user with a text and takes a value. Second parameter is the default value
var name = prompt("What is your name?", "Harry");
scrollBy
window.scrollBy(100, 0); // Scroll 100px to the right
scrollTo
Scrolls the document to the specified coordinates.
window.scrollTo(500, 0); // Scroll to horizontal position 500
clearInterval
Clears the setInterval. var is the value returned by setInterval call
clearInterval(var)
clearTimeout
Clears the setTimeout. var is the value returned by setTimeout call
clearTimeout(var)
stop
Stops the further resource loading
stop()
Query/Get Elements
The browser creates a DOM (Document Object Model) whenever a web page is loaded, and with the help of
HTML DOM, one can access and modify all the elements of the HTML document.
querySelector
Selector to select first matching element
document.querySelector('css-selectors')
querySelectorAll
A selector to select all matching elements
document.querySelectorAll('css-selectors', ...)
getElementsByTagName
Select elements by tag name
document.getElementsByTagName('element-name')
getElementsByClassName
Select elements by class name
document.getElementsByClassName('class-name')
Get Element by Id
Select an element by its id
document.getElementById('id')
Creating Elements
Create new elements in the DOM
createElement
Create a new element
