Introduction

💡 Do you Know The most Loved Programming Language is Javascript, It Also the weirdest programming Language also.

How JavaScript Works & Execution Context ?

📢 Everything In JavaScript happens inside the Execution Context.

Execution Context is a box which consist of two table

variable Environment Thread of Execution

Memory	Code
key: value	——- 0——, —-

memory part also called as variable env,where it stores the variable,function etc
Code part where all codes are runs line by line at a time.

📌 Javascript Is Synchronous-Single-threaded language.

How JavaScript Code is executed? and CallStack?

What is a browser JavaScript engine?

A JavaScript engine is a software component that executes JavaScript code.

ECMAScript
is the standardized specification of JavaScript, ECMAScript engine
is another name for these engines.

Which Engine used by most popular browser ?

Google chrome → V8

firefox → spidermonkey

safari → javascript core apple engine

Chakra → internet Explore

var n = 2
function square (num) {
 var ans= num * num
 return ans
}

var square2 = square(n)
var square = square(4)

When the code runs Global Execution context is created:

it has two-part

Memory allocated phase
Code creation phase

→ 1st Phase

memory allocating to all variables and functions

2nd phase →

code execution phase

when a function is invocation happens

it will create a new execution context

memory
code

then again new function invocation another exhicution context is created

The whole thing managed by Stack is called Callstack

GEC → Global Execution Context

Ec1 → function is invoked and one execution context is created

after it complete the job it popped out

Ec2 → it will push into the call stack

after it done it gets popped out

at last call, stack will be empty

call stack maintains the order of the execution of execution context

So call stack is also known as :

Execution context stack
program stack
control stack
runtime stack
machine stack

Hosting In JavaScript ? [variables and functions ]

Hosting is the Phenomenon in JavaScript by which we can access the variable and function even before we initialized it.

we can access it without any error.

getName(); // javascript basic
console.log(x); // undefined

console.log(getName); // prints the actual code

var x = 13;

function getName() {
  console.log("Javascript basic");
}

getName(); // javascript basic
console.log(x); // undefined

console.log(getName); // prints the actual code
// getName2(); // error is not a funtion
getName3(); // error is not a funtion
var x = 13;

function getName() {
  console.log("Javascript basic");
}

var getName2 = () => {
  console.log("arrow funtion ");
};

var getName3 = function () {
  console.log("funtion another way to defined");
};

on the memory allocation phase getName2 and getName3 will allocate as undefined so the function is not invoked.

How function works in Javascript and variable environment?

var x = 1;

a(); // 10
b(); // 100
console.log(x); // 1

function a() {
  var x = 10;
  console.log(x);
}
function b() {
  var x = 100;
  console.log(x);
}

Shortest Javascript Program & Window and This keyword ...

Window

so in javascript, the window is a Global object is created along with the Global execution context.

also, this variable is created. which is refers to the window object.

window === this // true

var a = 33;
function sbs() {
  var d = 88;
  console.log(d);
}

console.log(window.a);//10 this is global object
//  console.log(d);// error
console.log(this.a);// 10
// every thing inside this is global obj but inside function is local

Difference Between =, == And === In JavaScript

= is used for assigning values to a variable in JavaScript.
== is used for comparison between two variables irrespective of the datatype of variable.
=== is used for comparison between two variables but this will check strict type, which means it will check datatype and compare two values.

let data = 'hello world'
0 == false   // true
0 === false  // false, because they are of a different type
1 == "1"     // true, automatic type conversion for value only
1 === "1"    // false, because they are of a different type
null == undefined // true
null === undefined // false
'0' == false // true
'0' === false // false

What is Undefined and not defined?

undefined → just like a placeholder to any variable

when the program runs js engine allocates all variable in memory allocation phase.

all as undefined.

console.log(a) // undefined
var a ;

not defined → if it is not defined in the program then an error will give

which has not been allocated memory

console.log(d) // error not defined

The scope chain & Lexical Environment?

scope: scope means where you can access a specific variable or function in our code

lexical: heritage or sequence or in order

Lexical environment : It is the local memory along with the lexical environment of its parants.

Scopechain - finding the way variable inside lexical env. goes to parent then parent ref. this is called as scope chain

function a() {
  b();
  function b() {
    c();
    function c() {
      console.log(x);
    }
  }
}
var x = 100;
a(); // 100

What is Temporal Deadzone? var,let,const ? diff between syntax err, reference err,type Err ?

Temporal Deadzone - Temporal dead zone is the time since when the let, const variable is hoisted and till it is initialized some value. the time between that is known as called Temporal dead zone

TLDR : From hosting till it gets some value that phase Temporal deadzone.

note

in case of var they are allocated memory & hosting in global object

but in let and const they are allocated memory & hoisted they are stored in different memory space other than that global.

they stored in a script.

you can’t access it before do some value in it.

Differences between var, let, and const

var	let	const
The scope of a var variable is functional scope.	The scope of a let variable is block scope.	The scope of a const variable is block scope.
It can be updated and re-declared into the scope.	It can be updated but cannot be re-declared into the scope.	It cannot be updated or re-declared into the scope.
It can be declared without initialization.	It can be declared without initialization.	It cannot be declared without initialization.
It can be accessed without initialization as its default value is “undefined”.	It cannot be accessed without initialization, as it returns an error.	It cannot be accessed without initialization, as it cannot be declared without initialization.

{
    var a= 12
}
console.log(a) // 12   no error 
// but
{
    let a = 22
    const b =21
}
console.log(a,b) // error you a ,b not defined

// 2nd row

{
    var a = 'helo'
    a = 'some'
 var a = 'new' // updated ,redeclared

 let b = 'the weeknd'
 b = 'able' // updated
 let b = 'doja cat' // error it can't be redecalred

 const c = 11
 c = 22 // error
 const c = 33 // error it can't redecalre or updated

}

// 3rd row
{
 var a ;  // it can declare without initiation
 let b ;  // it can declare without initiation
 const c ; //error
}

// 4th row
{
 var a ; 
console.log(a) //default value undefined

}

Error Types

--- reference error
console.log(a) // reference error before initialized can't access
const a = 10
-----------------------
syntax err
let b = 100
let b = 10 // syntax error doesn't run single line of code

----------------
type error
const c = 20
c = 40 // type error assigning to a const variable

Block scope & shadowing in js?

block is defined

{

...

}

→ it combines multiple statements in one group.

block groups the multiple statements into one

so that we can use it where js excepts one statements.

ex- if(true) → gives error

but

if(true) expects a statement

if(true) {

var a = 2

console.log(a)

}

block scope : what var, fun can access inside this block

{
 var a = 10
 let b = 20
console.log(a) // 10
console.log(b) // 20
}
console.log(a) // 10
console.log(b) //err
// shadowing
var a = 100
{
var a = 10 // this variable shadows outside variable
}
console.log(a)// 10

----------------
but 
let a = 25
{
 let a = 20
console.log(a) // 20
}

console.log(a) //25

Closures in JavaScript ?

def

closures : is a function binds together with its lexical env. is forms closers.

function x() {
  var a = 102;
  y();
  function y() {
    console.log(a);
  }
}

x(); // 102

Mdn Docs : functions bundled together with references to its surrounding states or lexical env.

it gives access to another function scope from inner function.

use of closures :

module design pattern
currying in js
functions like once
memorization
maintain state in async world
set Timeouts
iterations
many mores....

Next Js SSR [getServerSideProps]

itishprasad30 — Sat, 15 Jan 2022 03:12:45 +0000

How Ssr code will work in Next js

If a page uses Server-side Rendering, the page HTML is generated on each request.
Server-side Rendering: The HTML is generated on each request. To make a page use Server-side Rendering, export getServerSideProps. Because Server-side Rendering results in slower performance than Static Generation, use this only if absolutely necessary.

const App = ({data}) => {
return (
    <>
    //jsx  will go here // render the data
    </>
  )
}

export async function getServerSideProps() {
//fetching data from some api
const res  = fetch('https://someapi.com/get')
const data = await res.json()

return {
     props:{
           data;
          }
     }
}

export default App;
