The Object

- an organized type!

a) "skraden"
b) false

c) 101

d) ["ice", 2, true]

what type?

type: object

a collection of properties

color: Yellow

shape: Square

color: Pink

shape: Square

rotation: 45°

var shape1 = {color: 'yellow', shape: 'square'};
var shape2 = {
    color: 'pink',
    shape: 'square',
    rotation: 45
}

var car = {
    make: "chevy",
    model: "Bel Air",
    color: "red",
    year: 1957,
    mileage: 1021,
    passengers: 2,
    convertible: true
};

undefined

null

Arrays (subtype of object)

Objects

On your own

Describe this toy as an object

(use as many types as you can)


var toy = {  



};

2 and 2

Compare with person next to you

Did you have the same?

Other metaphors

var person = {
    mame = "John",
    email = "john@ju.se",
    phone = "070-123456"
}

Name: 

Email: 

Phone:

Two ways to set properties

literal syntax

var friend = {
    name:     "Jane Doe",
    phone:    "555-12345",
    email:    "jane@doe.com",
    bff:      true
};

var friend = {};

friend.name = "Jane Doe";
friend.phone = "555-12345";
friend.email = "jane@doe.com";
friend.bff = true;

dot notation

Two ways to get properties

brackets notation

alert( friend["name"] );

alert( friend.name );

dot notation

Core objects

Built into the JavaScript language

Math, Date, RegExp 

 

All types have a Prototype Object

Array, Bool, Number, Object, String

open the console and type one of them followed by a period (e.g. Math.) to see all properties

open the console, type: var str = "Hello";

Then type str. to see all properties inherited

Host objects

Built into the browser (where the code is running )

 

window

  window.innerHeight

  window.console.log()

  prompt()

  alert()

console

  console.log()

prompt()

functions in objects

 

{

 

}

 

:

,

 

property

method

value

function()

properties or methods

{

 

 

}

 

name : "Jane" ,

print: function() {

         alert(this.name);

       }

properties or methods

this

var fruit = {
    kind: "apple",
    color: "red",
    print: function() {
        console.log( this.kind );
    }
}

fruit.print();

this always refer to the object is was called from

create an object constructor function

var Friend = function(n, e, p) {
    this.name = n;
    this.email = e;
    this.phone = p;
}

book[0] = new Friend("Jane", "jane@doe.se", "555-1234");
book[1] = new Friend("John", "john@doe.se", "555-3456");


alert( book[0].name );

Printing a table view in console

function Person(firstName, lastName, age) {
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
this.age = age;
}

var family = {};
family.mother = new Person("Susan", "Doyle", 32);
family.father = new Person("John", "Doyle", 33);
family.daughter = new Person("Lily", "Doyle", 5);
family.son = new Person("Mike", "Doyle", 8);

console.table(family, ["firstName", "lastName", "age"]);
