List of JavaScript functions

In this tutorial, we are going to see the list of the native functions most used in Javascript.
 

Array Methods

• pop(): Remove the last element from an array
• push(): Add a new element at the end of the array
• sort(): Sort the elements in alphabetical order
• reverse(): Sort the elements in descending order
• shift(): Remove the first element from an array
• toString(): Convert elements to strings
• unshift(): Add a new element at the start of an array
• concat(): Merge several arrays into one
• join(): Combines the elements of an array into a single string and returns the string
• slice(): Copy part of an array to a new array
• splice(): Is used to modify the contents of an array by removing existing elements and / or adding new elements.
• valueOf(): Returns the primitive value of the specified object
• indexOf(): Returns the first index at which the given element can be found in an array, or -1 if it is not present in an array.
• lastIndexOf(): Returns the last index at which the given element can be found in an array, or -1 if it is not present in an array.

Methods for displaying the output data

• alert(): Show output to a browser dialog box
• confirm(): Opens a yes/no dialog and returns true/false depending on the user’s click

• document.write(): Writes directly to the HTML document

 

Global functions

• isNaN(): Determines if a value is NaN (Not a Number) or not
• Number(): Converts the argument to a number representing the value of the object. If the value cannot be converted to a number, NaN is returned.
• eval(): Evaluates the JavaScript code represented as a string
• encodeURI(): Encode a URI in UTF-8
• decodeURI(): Decode a URI created by encodeURI () or other functions
• decodeURIComponent(): Decode a URI component

Methods of the String object

• match(): Retrieves the matches of a string based on a search pattern
• search(): Searches a string for the specified value and returns the position of the match.
• toLowerCase(): Convert a character string to lowercase

• indexOf(): Provides the position of the first occurrence of a specified text in a string
• lastIndexOf(): Provides the position of the last occurrence of a specified text in a string
• slice(): Extracts part of a string and returns it as a new string
• split(): Splits a character string into an array of substrings according to a separator
• substr(): Like slice() but extracts a substring according to the number of characters specified
• substring(): Like slice() but cannot accept negative indexes
• replace(): Find and replace specific text in a string

DOM Methods

• appendChild(): Adds a new node as the last child of a parent node.
• removeChild(): Remove a child node
• replaceChild(): Replaces a child node
