Sample text

Call([]) == ‘[object Array]’. This is an immutable property of objects that has the benefit of working across different contexts (for example, browser frames), whereas instanceof Array is true only for arrays initialized within that particular context. 17 18 PA R T I • Getting Started: Setup and Concepts FUNCTIONS Functions are of utmost importance in JavaScript. log(a); // passing the function as a parameter All functions in JavaScript can be named. It’s important to distinguish between the function name and the variable name: var a = function a () { ‘function’ == typeof a; // true }; THIS, FUNCTION#CALL, AND FUNCTION#APPLY When the following function is called, the value of this is the global object.

Parse to decode and encode JSON, respectively. name == ‘woot’; // true This property is used internally by v8 in stack traces. When an error is thrown, v8 shows a stack trace, which is the succession of function calls it made to reach the point where the error occurred: > var woot = function () { throw new Error(); }; > woot() Error at [object Context]:1:32 C H A P T E R 2 • JavaScript: An Overview In this case, v8 is not able to assign a name to the function reference. If you name it, however, v8 will be able to include it in the stack traces as shown here: > var woot = function buggy () { throw new Error(); }; > woot() Error at buggy ([object Context]:1:34) Because naming significantly aids in debugging, I always recommend you name your functions.

When “b” is reached, v8 doesn’t have anything left to execute. createServer(function () { a(); }); function a(){ b(); }; function b(){}; In this example, whenever an HTTP client connects to Node, the event loop dispatches a notification. Eventually, the callback function is executed, and the call stack becomes “a” > “b”. Since Node is running in a single thread, while that call stack is being unrolled no other client or HTTP request can be handled. You might be thinking, then, that Node maximum concurrency is 1!
