Frequently asked questions
There are multiple methods for checking JavaScript code. Some IDEs support JavaScript code checking, allowing developers to easily perform a JavaScript error check. Additionally, a JavaScript validator or linter, such as ESLint, can parse code and compare it against a set of rules. Both of these methods include JavaScript syntax checkers that scan for syntax, formatting, and good coding practices. However, neither method identifies security vulnerabilities or provides detailed information for fixing errors. Development teams looking to check for security issues and fix errors quickly should rely on an AI-powered Javascript code checker.
What are the benefits of an AI-powered JavaScript code checker?
An AI-powered JavaScript code checker can surface syntax errors and code quality issues that impact the execution of a JavaScript application. These tools can use AI or machine learning algorithms that are trained to identify code that doesn’t follow best practices for security and quality. AI-powered JavaScript code checkers can often catch issues that aren’t identified during peer reviews or pair programming.
How to fix invalid JavaScript syntax?
Fixing invalid code syntax starts with using a code checker. These automated tools can provide additional information about syntax errors beyond the generic messages the JavaScript interpreter might give likeSyntaxError: unexpected stringorSyntaxError: unexpected token. It’s also a good idea to use a code checker or debugger to identify logical errors that may impact the JavaScript application during runtime. This can help developers catch and fix code issues before they reach production.
Common JavaScript syntax and logical errors
There are a variety of syntax and logical errors, so it’s important to know how to remediate the most common issues that a debugger or code checker may flag. Here are some best practices for avoiding common JavaScript syntax errors:
- Declare and initialize variables at the top
- Never declare number, string, or boolean objects
- Beware of automatic type conversions in mathematical operations
- Always end switch statements with a default value
- Be sure to close every bracket and parenthesis
A JavaScript code checker is invaluable for finding and preventing bugs early on in the development process and
Logical errors aren’t recognized by the JavaScript interpreter, but they still prevent the application from performing as the developer originally intended. However, JavaScript error checkers look for logic mistakes. Here are some tips to avoid the logical errors that many developers regularly make when writing JavaScript code:
- Remember that by default variables are undefined and objects are null
- Avoid using the eval() function
- Avoid using global variables and prioritize local variables
- Do not use new Object()
- Focus on breaking out of loops early
- Avoid confusing the assignment (=) and equality operators (==, ===)
How to use a JavaScript Code Checker to improve code quality and security practices
A JavaScript code checker is invaluable for finding and preventing bugs early on in the development process and preventing developers from introducing JavaScript security vulnerabilities. Scanning tools are particularly useful for JavaScript because it’s an interpreted language, meaning there’s no compile process during development that flags syntax errors before execution. While some JavaScript engines do perform just-in-time compilation, this would surface errors much later in the development process.
Application security is another key aspect of checking JavaScript code. Using automated static analysis, development teams can find and remediate vulnerabilities early on in the development process rather than react to security incidents after deployment. This shift left of security can greatly reduce the risk exposure of applications and lower the cost of cybersecurity at many organizations.
Implementing an automated code checker with the development process, therefore, can dramatically improve the quality and security of JavaScript code without requiring a lot of extra effort by developers.
What is JavaScript code quality?
Measuring JavaScript code quality can vary depending on the best practices and standards a development team chooses to follow. Here are five common signs that any JavaScript code is high-quality.
Understandable
It’s a best practice to write code that’s highly reusable. If your JavaScript code is easy to understand for other If your JavaScript code is easy to understand for other developers, it’s much easier to maintain in the long run. Understandable code uses consistent syntax, meaningful naming conventions, and consistent comments to ensure yourself and others know how the code works and why it’s needed. This is important when code that was written months or years before needs to be changed.
Functional
Functional code works as developers originally intended. That means the source code is well-tested and free from logical errors that could negatively affect the user experience later on. It’s also important to ensure the code is reliable to ensure the application has high availability, data integrity, and fault tolerance as well.
Testable
By writing concise code that’s understandable and functional, testing becomes much easier. You should focus on short, purposeful code blocks that can be tested using automated testing. In many cases, a test-driven approach with test cases written before the code can dramatically improve code quality as well.
Secure
High-quality JavaScript code should also be highly secure so that malicious actors cannot exploit the application and cause unwanted behavior. Scanning tools can detect vulnerabilities within code, configuration files, and more so that developers can minimize the security risks during development.
Maintainable
Maintaining JavaScript code is crucial to avoid issues later on. As a codebase grows and becomes more complicated, low quality code can introduce technical debt. If there’s technical debt, developers spend increasing amounts of time fixing bugs and security issues rather than building new functionality, which negatively impacts software innovation going forward.

Debugging (Отладка)
В чем заключается процесс отладки? Что это такое?
Процесс отладки состоит в том, что мы останавливаем выполнения скрипта в любом месте, смотрим, что находится в переменных, в функциях, анализируем и переходим в другие места; ищем те места, где поведение отклоняется от правильного.
Будет рассмотрен пример с Сhrome, но отладить код можно и в любом другом браузере и даже в IDE.
Открываем инструменты разработчика. Обычно они открывается по кнопке F12 или в меню Инструменты → Инструменты Разработчика. Выбираем вкладку Sources

Цифрами обозначены:
- Иерархия файлов, подключенных к странице (js, css и другие). Здесь можно выбрать любой скрипт для отладки.
- Сам код.
- Дополнительные функции для контроля.
В секции №2 в левой части на любой строке можно кликнуть ЛКМ, тем самым поставив точку останова (breakpoint — брейкпойнт). Это то место, где отладчик автоматически остановит выполнение JavaScript, как только до него дойдёт. Количество breakpoint’ов не ограничено. Можно ставить везде и много. На изображении выше отмечен зеленым цветом.
В остановленном коде можно посмотреть текущие значения переменных, выполнять различные команды и др.
А во вкладке Breakpoints можно:
- На время выключить брейкпойнт(ы)
- Удалить брейкпойнт(ы), если не нужен
- Быстро перейти на место кода, где стоит брейкпойнт кликнув на текст.
Запускаем отладку
В данном случае, т.к. функция выполняется сразу при загрузке страницы, то для активации отладчика достаточно её перезагрузить. В ином случае, для активации требуется исполнить действие, при котором произойдет исполнение нужного участка кода (клик на кнопку, заполнение инпута данными, движение мыши и другие действия)
В данном случае после перезагрузки страницы выполнение «заморозится» на 4 строке:

-
Вкладка Watch — показывает текущие значения любых переменных и выражений. В любой момент здесь можно нажать на
+, вписать имя любой переменной и посмотреть её значение в реальном времени. Напримерdataилиnums[0], а можно иnums[i]иitem.test.data.name[5].info[key[1]]и т.д. -
Вкладка Call Stack — стэк вызовов, все вложенные вызовы, которые привели к текущему месту кода. На данный момент отладчик стоит в функции
getSum, 4 строка. -
Вкладка Scope Variables — переменные. На текущий момент строки ниже номера 4 ещё не выполнилась, поэтому
sumиoutputравныundefined.
В Local показываются переменные функции: объявленные через var и параметры.
В Global – глобальные переменные и функции.
Процесс
Для самого процесса используются элементы управления (см. изображение выше, выделено зеленым прямоугольником)
(F8) — продолжить выполнение. Продолжает выполнения скрипта с текущего момента. Если больше нет других точек останова, то отладка заканчивается и скрипт продолжает работу. В ином случае работа прерывается на следующей точке останова.
(F10) — делает один шаг не заходя внутрь функции. Т.е. если на текущей линии есть какая-то функция, а не просто переменная со значением, то при клике данной кнопки, отладчик не будет заходить внутрь неё.
(F11) — делает шаг. Но в отличие от предыдущей, если есть вложенный вызов (например функция), то заходит внутрь неё.
(Shift+F11) — выполняет команды до завершения текущей функции. Удобна, если случайно вошли во вложенный вызов и нужно быстро из него выйти, не завершая при этом отладку.
— отключить/включить все точки останова
— включить/отключить автоматическую остановку при ошибке. Если включена, то при ошибке в коде он скрипт остановится автоматически и можно посмотреть в отладчике текущие значения переменных, проанализировать и принять меры по устранению.
…
Итак, в текущем коде видно значение входного параметра:
data = "23 24 11 18"— строка с данными через пробелnums = (4) ["23", "24", "11", "18"]— массив, который получился из входной переменной.
Если нажмем F10 2 раза, то окажемся на строке 7; во вкладках Watch, Scope > Local и в самой странице с кодом увидим, что переменная sum была инициализирована и значение равно 0.
Если теперь нажмем F11, то попадем внутрь функции-замыкания nums.forEach

Нажимая теперь F10 пока не окончится цикл, можно будет наблюдать, как на каждой итерации цикла постоянно изменяются значения num и sum. Тем самым мы можем проследить шаг за шагом весь процесс изменения любых переменных и значений на любом этапе, который интересует.
Дальнейшие нажатия F10 переместит линию кода на строки 11, 12 и, наконец, 15.
Дополнительно
-
Остановку можно инициировать принудительно без всяких точек останова, если непосредственно в коде написать ключевое слово
debugger:function getSum(data) { ... debugger; // <-- отладчик остановится тут ... } -
Если нажать ПКМ на строке с брейкпойнтом, то это позволит еще более тонко настроить условие, при котором на данной отметке надо остановиться.
В функции выше, например, нужно остановиться только когдаsumпревысит значение 20.
Это удобно, если останов нужен только при определённом значении, а не всегда (особенно в случае с циклами).
Больше информации о возможностях инструментов например Chrome — можно прочитать здесь
Дополнительно 2
Принудительную отладку можно инициировать событием, происходящим на странице/элементах. Это полезно, если не знаешь где обрабатывающая функция находится.
Пример для Chrome:
Нажимаем F12, заходим на вкладку Sources и в функциях контроля видим вкладку Event Listener Breakpoints, в которой можно назначить в качестве триггера любые события, при которых исполнение скрипта будет остановлено.
На изображении ниже выбран пункт на событие onchange элементов.

Для Firefox:
Если функция инлайновая, например
<input type="checkbox" onchange="testFunction(this);" />
то можно зайти в Инспектор, найти тот самый элемент, в котором прописано событие и обнаружить рядом значок em:

Кликнув на него, как утверждает developer.mozilla.org/ru/docs можно увидеть строчки:

где можно увидеть события, навешанные на элемент, скрипт, строку, возможность нажать на паузу и т.д.
В других случаях, а также если кнопка паузы не обнаружена, то на вкладке Debugger(отладчик) надо найти стрелку, при наведении на которую будет написано «Events». Там должно быть событие выделенного элемента.
А вот таких полезных вкладок как у Chrome к сожалению у Firefox там нет.

Understanding JavaScript
JavaScript is a free scripting language that works on both the server and client sides. It is text-based and works with HTML and CSS to enhance code functionality and add interactive elements. In short, JS breathes life into static sites and makes them interactive.
Most websites use JavaScript, and all modern web browsers support it without needing plugins. With a large community and a rapidly evolving ecosystem, it has a large user base. Indeed, a web developer today must be familiar with JavaScript to work on a web project.
What is JavaScript?
A JavaScript scripting language is a cross-platform, object-oriented scripting language used for creating dynamic web pages with elements such as animated graphics, clickable buttons, and pop-up menus. Undoubtedly, it is one of the best web browser technologies available today. The JavaScript scripting language is used to create and control dynamic website content, such as anything on your screen that moves, refreshes, or otherwise changes, without requiring you to reload it. Some features of JavaScript are given below:
- animated graphics
- photo slideshows
- autocomplete text suggestions
- interactive forms
It is also possible to create new applications using server-side JavaScript versions and frameworks, such as Node.js. The JavaScript frameworks offer performance benefits as well as ready-to-use solutions.
For example, a web browser window or webpage can be programmed to control objects in its environment using JavaScript.
A standard library of objects, such as Array, Date, and Math, as well as a basic set of language components, such as operators, control structures, and statements, are included in JavaScript. Extending Core JavaScript with additional objects can be used for various applications, such as Client-side and Server-side JavaScript.
In client-side JavaScript, objects are provided for controlling the browser’s Document Object Model (DOM). For example, client-side JavaScript enables a program to add HTML elements to an HTML file and respond to user actions such as mouse clicks, form entries, and page navigation.
By providing the objects needed for server-side JavaScript, server-side JavaScript extends the basic language. For example, it facilitates the creation of connections between applications and databases or supports file I/O operations.

What is JavaScript Used For?
As JavaScript is one of the most widely used and dynamic programming languages today, it is used to create rich web experiences for PCs, tablets, and mobile devices. Undoubtedly, it is a world-class language with a thriving development environment and a committed community committed to its continuous development.
JavaScript is used for a variety of purposes. Following are some of its uses:
- Adding interactivity to websites — To make your website more than a static page of text, you will have to do some JavaScripting.
- Developing mobile applications — JavaScript is not just for websites… it’s also used to create apps for smartphones and tablets.
- Creating web browser-based games — Have you ever played a game directly from your web browser? It is probably because of JavaScript.
- Back-end web development — JavaScript is most commonly used on the front end of a website, but it is also a versatile enough scripting language to be used on the back-end infrastructure.
What are the Main Features of JavaScript?
Understanding the main features of JavaScript is essential to understand the language properly. In the following, we have discussed the five features of JavaScript.
Lightweight
JavaScript is a lightweight scripting language designed primarily for handling data in browsers. Additionally, JavaScript Code is lightweight and is intended primarily for client-side execution, such as web applications. Because it is not a general-purpose language, it has a limited number of libraries.
Dynamic Typing
The JavaScript programming language supports dynamic typing. The term dynamic typing refers to the fact that a variable’s data type is only declared at runtime. In this way, programmers are not required to declare the type of variables while coding, simplifying the coding process and making it easier to implement.
Using JavaScript, we declare variables using the var, const or let keywords before their names without specifying their data types.
Functional Style
It is important to note that JavaScript is a functional programming language, meaning that even objects are constructed using constructor functions, and each constructor function represents an individual object type. The JavaScript functions can also be used as objects and be passed on to other functions.
Platform Independent
JavaScript is platform-independent or portable, meaning you can write JavaScript code once and run it anywhere at any time. Generally, JavaScript programs can run on any platform or web browser without altering their output.
Object-Oriented Programming
With ES6, the concept of OOP has been refined. In JavaScript, Code Reuse Patterns, or inheritance, are also essential elements of OOP. Even though JavaScript developers rarely make use of this capability, it is available to all users.
What are the Types of JavaScript Errors?
The errors must occur in any programming language. In JavaScript, the following six error constructors are most commonly used:
Syntax Error
This is one of the most common errors we encounter. An error occurs when we attempt to type code not understood by the JS engine.
Example:
Typing pint in place of print
The JS engine catches an error like this during parsing. It is important to note that our code is put through various stages in the JS engine before we can see the results on our terminal.
Reference Error
Errors of this type occur when a variable reference cannot be found or is not declared.
Example:
const l=console.log
const cat = «cat»
cat
Dog
Type Error
Typically, this error is caused by misusing a value outside the scope of its own data type.
Example:
let number = 5;
console.log(number.split(«»)); //Converting a number to an array will throw an error
FAQs
What is JavaScript used for?
Programmers use JavaScript to create interactive web pages, such as the user interface of browsers or applications. It works hand-in-hand with HTML and CSS to ensure that all web page’s interactive elements and functions can be used as required.
Are JavaScript and HTML the same?
No. There’s a difference in the use of JS and HTML. JavaScript is a «scripting language,» whereas HTML is a «markup language.» JavaScript must be loaded and run with the HTML markup to make a web page interactive and usable.
What is the general syntax of JavaScript?
The JavaScript code comprises a series of instructions known as statements. At the same time, the JS statements consist of values, expressions, operators, keywords, and comments. There can be some fixed values and variable values in the JavaScript syntax.
What causes a JavaScript error?
There can be some omissions or typos in the syntax, which may lead to JavaScript errors. For instance, incorrect variable names, missing parentheses, and unmatched brackets can cause a JS error. The JavaScript code can not be executed if there are syntax errors.
How to fix JavaScript errors?
You need to check for errors if your JS code is not running. You can use a JavaScript validator to identify bugs with ease. Once you know what type of error this is, you can quickly fix it. Check for cross-browser compatibility and other technical issues if it is not a syntax error.
