JavaScript’s Shorthand Syntax That Every Developer Should Know

About three decades ago, every web page was static and showed the same content for all visitors. Later, web servers generated dynamic content based on the current user via an early server-side web development concept called CGI (Common Gateway Interface). The invention of JavaScript initially helped programmers to make their web pages dynamic without reloading the entire web page. After the 2000s, almost all business entities tried to enter the internet by creating websites and web applications. As a result, the golden era of JavaScript was begun! Web browsers have started introducing more standard web APIs, and JavaScript introduced more general-purpose language features. JavaScript is the native, natural, and productive way to create dynamic pages for all standard web browsers. Nowadays, JavaScript is everywhere — we can use it for building web services, desktop apps, mobile apps, CLI programs, and embedded systems. With this popularity, the ECMAScript standard introduces new language features for JavaScript to boost developers’ productivity further. In this story, I’ll explain several modern JavaScript syntaxes you can practice in any JavaScript-based codebase to write futuristic, minimal, highly-readable, and clean source code! <h1>Using the Spread Syntax</h1> As the name suggests, the spread syntax helps us to convert objects, iterable objects, such as arrays, sets, etc., into separate individual records. So, we can use this feature to construct new data structures based on existing data structures and pass iterable objects to functions as individual parameters. The spread syntax typically helps you to avoid verbose loop structures and make your source code more futuristic, readable, and self-explanatory. Let’s check several practical examples! <a href="https://levelup.gitconnected.com/javascripts-shorthand-syntax-that-every-developer-should-know-50d9d4549065">Read More</a>
