The JavaScript `in` operator
New Course Coming Soon:
Get Really Good at Git
Learn the basics of the JavaScript `in` Operator
The in
operator is pretty useful. It allows us to check if an object has a property.
This operator returns true
if the first operand is a property of the object passed on the right, or a property of one of its ancestors in its prototype chain.
Otherwise it returns false
.
Example:
class Car {
constructor() {
this.wheels = 4
}
}
class Fiesta extends Car {
constructor() {
super()
this.brand = 'Ford'
}
}
const myCar = new Fiesta()
'brand' in myCar //true
'wheels' in myCar //true
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs
rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time
you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT
or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical
level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with
Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
