I have a function like this:
function foo(a, b, c, d, e, f) { }
In order to call this function only with an f
argument, I know I should do:
foo(undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined, theFValue);
Is there a less verbose way to do this?
Solutions:
I selected some proposed solutions (without using helper third functions)
// zero - ideal one, actually not possible(?!) foo(f: fValue); // one - asks a "strange" declaration var _ = undefined; foo(_, _, _, _, _, fValue); // two - asks the {} to be used instead of a 'natural' list of args // - users should be aware about the internal structure of args obj // so this option is not 'intellisense friendly' function foo(args){ // do stuff with `args.a`, `args.b`, etc. } foo({f: fValue});
js skip() Method. The skip() method is used to skip the given number of elements from collection and returns the remaining collection elements. Parameters: The collect() method takes one argument that is converted into the collection and then skip() method is applied on it.
Optional parameters are great for simplifying code, and hiding advanced but not-often-used functionality. If majority of the time you are calling a function using the same values for some parameters, you should try making those parameters optional to avoid repetition.
The $() function The dollar function, $(), can be used as shorthand for the getElementById function. To refer to an element in the Document Object Model (DOM) of an HTML page, the usual function identifying an element is: document. getElementById("id_of_element").
It's not possible to skip it, but you can pass the default argument using ReflectionFunction .
Such:
foo(undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined, arg1, arg2);
.is equal to:
foo(...Array(5), arg1, arg2);
.or:
foo(...[,,,,,], arg1, arg2);
Such:
foo(undefined, arg1, arg2);
.is equal to:
foo(...Array(1), arg1, arg2);
.or:
foo(...[,], arg1, arg2);
Such:
foo(arg1, arg2);
.is equal to:
foo(...Array(0), arg1, arg2);
.or:
foo(...[], arg1, arg2);
