js: JS Snippets

JS Snippets

// Copy to Clipboard
// Easily copy any text to clipboard using navigator.clipboard.writeText.
const copyToClipboard = (text) => navigator.clipboard.writeText(text);
copyToClipboard("Hello World");

// Check if Date is Valid
// Use the following snippet to check if a given date is valid or not.
const isDateValid = (...val) => !Number.isNaN(new Date(...val).valueOf());
isDateValid("December 17, 1995 03:24:00");
// Result: true


// Find the day of year
// Find which is the day by a given date.
const dayOfYear = (date) =>
  Math.floor((date - new Date(date.getFullYear(), 0, 0)) / 1000 / 60 / 60 / 24);
dayOfYear(new Date());
// Result: 272


// Capitalise a String
// Javascript doesn’t have an inbuilt capitalise function, so we can use the following code for the purpose.
const capitalize = str => str.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + str.slice(1)
capitalize("follow for more")
// Result: Follow for more


// Find the number of days between two days
// Find the days between 2 given days using the following snippet.
const dayDif = (date1, date2) => Math.ceil(Math.abs(date1.getTime() - date2.getTime()) / 86400000)
dayDif(new Date("2020-10-21"), new Date("2021-10-22"))
// Result: 366


// Clear All Cookies
// You can easily clear all cookies stored in a web page by accessing the cookie using document.cookie and clearing it.
// const clearCookies = document.cookie.split(';').forEach(cookie => document.cookie = cookie.replace(/^ +/, '').replace(/=.*/, `=;expires=${new Date(0).toUTCString()};path=/`));
// Generate Random Hex
// You can generate random hex colors with Math.random and padEnd properties.
const randomHex = () => `#${Math.floor(Math.random() * 0xffffff).toString(16).padEnd(6, "0")}`;
console.log(randomHex());
// Result: #92b008


// Remove Duplicated from Array
// You can easily remove duplicates with Set in JavaScript. Its a life saver.
const removeDuplicates = (arr) => [...new Set(arr)];
console.log(removeDuplicates([1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6]));
// Result: [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ]


// Get Query Params from URL
// You can easily retrieve query params from a url either by passing window.location or the raw URL goole.com?search=easy&page=3
const getParameters = (URL) => {
  URL = JSON.parse('{"' + decodeURI(URL.split("?")[1]).replace(/"/g, '\\"').replace(/&/g, '","').replace(/=/g, '":"') +'"}');
  return JSON.stringify(URL);
};
getParameters(window.location)
// Result: { search : "easy", page : 3 }


// Log Time from Date
// We can log time, in the format hour::minutes::seconds from a given date.
const timeFromDate = date => date.toTimeString().slice(0, 8);
console.log(timeFromDate(new Date(2021, 0, 10, 17, 30, 0))); 
// Result: "17:30:00"


Check if a number is even or odd
const isEven = num => num % 2 === 0;
console.log(isEven(2)); 
// Result: True


Find Average of Numbers
Find the average between multiple numbers using reducemethod.
const average = (...args) => args.reduce((a, b) => a + b) / args.length;
average(1, 2, 3, 4);
// Result: 2.5


Reverse a string
You can easily reverse a string using split, reverse and joinmethods.
const reverse = str => str.split('').reverse().join('');
reverse('hello world');     
// Result: 'dlrow olleh'


Check if array is empty
Simple one liner to check if an array is empty, will return trueor false.
const isNotEmpty = arr => Array.isArray(arr) && arr.length > 0;
isNotEmpty([1, 2, 3]);
// Result: true


Get Selected Text
Get the text the user has select using inbuilt getSelectionproperty.
const getSelectedText = () => window.getSelection().toString();
getSelectedText();
Shuffle an Array
Shuffling an array is super easy with sort and random methods.
const shuffleArray = (arr) => arr.sort(() => 0.5 - Math.random());
console.log(shuffleArray([1, 2, 3, 4]));
// Result: [ 1, 4, 3, 2 ]


Detect Dark Mode
Check if a user’s device is in dark mode with the following code.
const isDarkMode = window.matchMedia && window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches
console.log(isDarkMode) // Result: True or False
Convert RGB to Hex
const rgbToHex = (r, g, b) =>
  "#" + ((1 << 24) + (r << 16) + (g << 8) + b).toString(16).slice(1);
rgbToHex(0, 51, 255); 
// Result: #0033ff
