String.prototype.padStart/padEnd

// padStart(desiredLength, textToPrepend)

// No text
''.padStart(10, 'Hi') // 'HiHiHiHiHi'

// Some text
'def'.padStart(6, 'abc') // 'abcdef'

// Only use what gets to length
'5678'.padStart(7, '1234') // '1235678'

// padEnd(desiredLength, textToAppend)

'23'.padEnd(8, '0') // '23000000'

Object.entries

// Object literal
Object.entries({ 'a': 'A', 'b': 'B' }); // [["a","A"],["b","B"]]

// String
Object.entries('david') // [["0","d"],["1","a"],["2","v"],["3","i"],["4","d"]]

Object.values

// Object literal
Object.values({ 'a': 23, 'b': 19 }) // [23, 19]

// Array-like object (order not preserved)
Object.values({ 80: 'eighty', 0: 1, 1: 'yes' }) // [1, 'yes', 'eighty']

// String
Object.values('davidwalsh') // ["d", "a", "v", "i", "d", "w", "a", "l", "s", "h"]

// Array
Object.values([1, 2, 3]) // [1, 2, 3]

Array.prototype.includes

['a', 'b', 'c'].includes('a') // true, not 0 like indexOf would give
['a', 'b', 'c'].includes('d') // false

Exponentiation

// 2 to the power of 8
Math.pow(2, 8) // 256

// ..becomes
2 ** 8 // 256

Trailing Commas

let myObj = { a:'b', b: 'c', } // No error!

let myArr = [1, 2, 3, ] // No error!

[1, 2, 3,].length // 3
[1, 2, 3, , , ].length // 5
