🚀 Elevate Your JavaScript with ES6+ Features! 🚀

JavaScript has evolved significantly with the introduction of ES6 and beyond, bringing an array of features designed to make coding more enjoyable and efficient.

To help us all grow together, I’ve put together 10 hands-on exercises focusing on ES6+ features:

– Dive into template literals, arrow functions, destructuring, and more.

– Master modern asynchronous patterns with Promises and Async/Await.

– Learn how to effectively use rest and spread operators in your functions.

– Explore the simplicity and elegance of default parameters and modules.

Why bother with ES6+?

– Cleaner, more concise code leads to better readability and maintainability.

– Modern JavaScript is essential for developing high-quality web applications.

– Understanding ES6+ keeps you competitive in the rapidly evolving JavaScript ecosystem.

I encourage everyone to try these exercises, share your solutions, or discuss any insights or challenges you encountered. Let’s leverage these features to write better JavaScript code together!

JavaScript ES6+ features

Exercise 1: Using Template Literals

Problem: Create a template literal that uses variables to create a full sentence.

Explanation: Demonstrates usage of template literals, which allow embedded expressions and improve string readability.

Code:

let name = “John”;

let age = 28;

let sentence = `Hello, my name is ${name} and I am ${age} years old.`;

console.log(sentence);

Exercise 2: Destructuring Objects

Problem: Destructure the following object to extract name and age.

Explanation: Shows how object destructuring can simplify extracting properties from objects.

Code:

let person = {name: “Sarah”, age: 32, city: “Copenhagen”};

let {name, age} = person;

console.log(name, age); // Outputs: Sarah 32

Exercise 3: Destructuring Arrays

Problem: Destructure the following array to extract the first two elements.

Explanation: Demonstrates array destructuring, useful for pulling specific elements from arrays.

Code:

let colors = [“red”, “green”, “blue”];

let [firstColor, secondColor] = colors;

console.log(firstColor, secondColor); // Outputs: red green

Exercise 4: Using Arrow Functions

Problem: Convert a traditional function into an arrow function.

Explanation: Introduces arrow functions, which provide a concise syntax for writing functions.

Code:

// Traditional Function

function add(a, b) {

 return a + b;

}

// Arrow Function

const add = (a, b) => a + b;

console.log(add(5, 3)); // Outputs: 8

Exercise 5: Using Rest Parameters

Problem: Write a function that takes an unlimited number of arguments and returns their sum.

Explanation: Demonstrates the use of rest parameters for handling indefinite arguments in functions.

Code:

const sum = (…numbers) => numbers.reduce((acc, current) => acc + current, 0);

console.log(sum(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)); // Outputs: 15

Exercise 6: Using Spread Operator

Problem: Merge two arrays into a new array using the spread operator.

Explanation: Shows how the spread operator can expand elements of an iterable (like an array) into a new array.

Code:

let fruits = [“apple”, “banana”];

let vegetables = [“carrot”, “potato”];

let combined = […fruits, …vegetables];

console.log(combined); // Outputs: [“apple”, “banana”, “carrot”, “potato”]

Exercise 7: Default Parameters

Problem: Write a function that takes two arguments, name and greeting, where greeting has a default value.

Explanation: Demonstrates default parameters, which provide default values for function arguments.

Code:

const greet = (name, greeting = “Hello”) => `${greeting}, ${name}!`;

console.log(greet(“Alice”)); // Outputs: Hello, Alice!

console.log(greet(“Alice”, “Goodbye”)); // Outputs: Goodbye, Alice!

Exercise 8: Using Promises

Problem: Create a new Promise that resolves with “Success” after 2 seconds and use .then() to log the result.

Explanation: Introduces Promises, which are used for asynchronous operations.

Code:

let myPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {

 setTimeout(() => {

 resolve(“Success”);

 }, 2000);

});

myPromise.then((result) => {

 console.log(result); // Outputs: “Success” after 2 seconds

});

Exercise 9: Async/Await Function

Problem: Create an async function that waits for a Promise that resolves after 2 seconds, then logs “Async/Await”.

Explanation: Explores async/await, a syntactic sugar for handling Promises in a more synchronous-like manner.

Code:

async function asyncFunction() {

 await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000));

 console.log(“Async/Await”);

}

asyncFunction();

Exercise 10: Modules Import/Export

Problem: Create two files, math.js and app.js. In math.js, export a function named add. In app.js, import add and use it to add two numbers.

Explanation: Demonstrates the use of ES6 modules for exporting and importing functions between files.

Code:

// math.js

export const add = (a, b) => a + b;

// app.js

import { add } from ‘./math.js’;

console.log(add(4, 6)); // Outputs: 10
