Hey guys, how are you?!
Let's see some JavaScript useful tips with a maximum of 2 lines of code that can help us in our daily lives?!
So let's go!!!
π‘ Conditional (ternary) Operator
If ternary is a very simple way to work with "if" validations:
The code:
function validateBetterCommunity(community) {
// Structure to Verify
return community === 'devto' ? 'You are right!' : 'You are wrong :(';
}
console.log(validateBetterCommunity('devto'));
// Expected output: "You're right!"
console.log(validateBetterCommunity('another one'));
// Expected output: "You're wrong :("
π‘ Generate Random String Id
Generate a random string id easy:
// Structure to Generate
const randomIdentifier = Math.random().toString(30).slice(2.5);
console.log(randomIdentifier);
// Output: 'd5ptscfrln7';
π‘ Check if Element has Focus
Checks if any element has focus with the read-only activeElement property:
const onboarding = document.querySelector('.onboarding');
// Structure to Verify
const onboardingHasFocus = onboarding == document.activeElement;
console.log(onboardingHasFocus);
// Output: false;
π‘ Spread Operator
With spread(...) we get an alternative to "merge" elements:
const devToPeople = [
{
name: 'Renan',
id: 'renancferro',
}
];
const newDevToParticipants = [
{
name: 'New User',
id: 'newUserId',
},
...devToPeople
];
console.log(newDevToParticipants);
// Output:
//[
// {
// name: 'New User',
// id: 'newUserId',
// },
// {
// "name": "Renan",
// "id": "renancferro"
// }
//];
π‘ Get a Random Element
Get a random object element with one line of code:
const newDevToParticipants = [
{
name: 'New User',
id: 'newUserId',
},
{
name: 'Renan',
id: 'renancferro',
},
];
// Structure to Get
const getRandomUser = (users) => users[Math.floor(Math.random() * users.length)];
console.log(getRandomUser(newDevToParticipants));
// Output: {
// "name": "Renan",
// "id": "renancferro"
//}
π‘ Insert a New Object at a Specific Position
How to insert a new object at a specific position within an array of objects:
const newDevToParticipants = [
{
name: 'New User',
id: 'newUserId',
},
{
name: 'Renan',
id: 'renancferro',
},
];
// Structure to insert:
const insertNewUser = (originalArray, index, newItem) => [...originalArray.slice(0, index), newItem, ...originalArray.slice(index)];
const newUser = {
name: 'New User 2',
id: 'newUser2',
};
console.log(insertNewUser(newDevToParticipants, 1, newUser));
// Output
//[
// {
// "name": "New User",
// "id": "newUserId"
// },
// {
// "name": "New User 2",
// "id": "newUser2"
// },
// {
// "name": "Renan",
// "id": "renancferro"
// }
//]
π‘ Copy to the Clipboard
Basic and simple structure for copying content to the clipboard:
// Structure to Copy
const copyContentToClipboard = (contentToCopy) => navigator.clipboard.writeText(contentToCopy);
copyContentToClipboard('Do it different!');
Sometimes some things can be simpler than we imagine!

Oh, I really appreciate it! Hope this can help you in future JavaScript code!
This is a really good post for beginners and advanced JavaScripters alike!
Cool! There are some cool and interesting things, right?! Do you know another code example?!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I needed to do something similar to "Check if Element has Focus" and I ended up getting a little beaten up, if I had seen this post before, it would have been a thousand times easier. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge π¦€.
