One of the things I understand but dont really like about the range(), which is available in utility libraries such as lodash and YourJS, is that it produces an array of numbers ranging from the starting number to the ending number but not including the ending number. Let’s say for Read more…
After reading this reddit entry I decided to write up a little snippet with documentation: Feel free to use it whenever and wherever. Happy coding! 😎
If you ever need to remove all duplicate characters from a string you can use this snippet which takes advantage of how the String.prototype.replace() function works along with regular expressions: Feel free to use this function in your code. Happy coding 😎
There are various ways to convert a string or a floating point number to an integer in JavaScript, but not all of them may suit your needs. In this post we will examine four different ways and then we will see which is the best in all cases. Solution #1: Read more…
Now Available in YourJS Recently I was working on a function which needed to determine whether or not a string could be used as a variable name. Variable name validation can get tricky so instead of using a crazy regular expression which includes all keywords (which may change over time) Read more…
I finally have the 1st pass of YourJS available to the public!!! What is YourJS? YourJS is a fully customizable JavaScript library which gives the developer more control than ever before. Who controls the codebase? Everyone does! All you have to do is sign up and you can start writing Read more…
If you have been using JavaScript for a little bit you probably already know how to determine a variable’s class constructor, but just in case you are overthinking it here is a hint: variable.constructor. 🙂 Of course, many times I like to make functions that will spit my results for Read more…

Now Available in YourJS Yesterday I was working with Math.cos, Math.sin and Math.tan and was thinking it would be nice to have the equivalent functions which accept the values in degrees instead of radians. For that reason I wrote the following definitions for Math.cosd, Math.sind and Math.tand: After executing the Read more…
WARNING: Extending native prototypes is frowned upon by many JS engineers but can be helpful as long as the extensions are properly documented in the codebase. SCRIPTER’S DISCRETION IS ADVISED. 😆 Yesterday I added a post about String.prototype.before(...). As is explained within the post, this function can be used to Read more…
