标签：underscore.js api学习 学会template的使用 underscore utility
本文介绍的是underscore.js提供的Utility Functions。
noConflict_.noConflict()
Give control of the "_" variable back to its previous owner. Returns a reference to theUnderscore object.
这个函数主要是为了解决underscore.js与其他框架或js名字冲突的问题。我们知道：underscore.js使用全局对象_，如果在underscore框架加载前，已经有了这么一个全局变量会怎么样呢？
<html> <head> <script> // 在underscore.js框架加载前运行,目的是验证_.noConflict(); var _ = "11"; </script> <script src="underscore-1.7.0/underscore.js"></script> <script> //underscore是返回的underscore.js封装对象 var underscore = _.noConflict(); alert(underscore.VERSION); // _之前是什么,现在就还原成什么. alert(_);//11 </script> </head> <body> </body> </html>首先定义了一个全局变量_，当underscore框架加载后，_之前的值被覆盖。当调用_.noConflict()之后，该函数返回是underscore封装的对象，仍然可以使用这个函数的返回值调用underscore.js提供的API。_被还原成underscore.js加载之前的值,就是11。
identity_.identity(value)
Returns the same value that is used as the argument. In math: f(x) = x
This function looks useless, but is used throughout Underscore as a default iteratee.
var moe = {name: ‘moe‘};
moe === _.identity(moe);
=> true
该函数啥也不做，就是直接返回传递给他的参数值，即数学中的f(x) = x。
constant_.constant(value)
Creates a function that returns the same value that is used as the argument of_.constant.
var moe = {name: ‘moe‘};
moe === _.constant(moe)();
=> true
该constant()返回值是一个函数（这个函数返回的就是传递给constant()函数的参数）。
noop_.noop()
Returns undefined irrespective（不管） of the arguments passed to it. Useful
as the default for optional callback arguments.
obj.initialize = _.noop;
noop就是no operation的缩写，就是一个空函数，啥也不干，返回值是undefined或者说是没有返回值。有点像null object模式，避免使用者判空。
times_.times(n,
iteratee, [context])
Invokes the given iteratee function n times.
Each invocation of iteratee is
called with an index argument.
Produces an array of the returned values.
var result = _.times(3, function(i){return i * 10;})
console.log("times=" + result);// 0,10,20
result = _(3).times(function(i){ return i * 10; });
console.log("times=" + result);// 0,10,20 上面这2种写法是等价的
random_.random(min,
max)
Returns a random integer between min and max, inclusive. If you only pass one argument, it will return a number between 0 and
that number.
_.random(0, 100);
=> 42
mixin_.mixin(object)
Allows you to extend Underscore with your own utility functions. Pass a hash of {name:
function} definitions to have your functions added to the Underscore object, as well as the OOP wrapper.
_.mixin({
capitalize: function(string) {
return string.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + string.substring(1).toLowerCase();
}
});
_("fabio").capitalize();
=> "Fabio"
uniqueId_.uniqueId([prefix])
Generate a globally-unique id for client-side models or DOM elements that need one. Ifprefix is passed, the id will be appended to it.
_.uniqueId(‘contact_‘); => ‘contact_104‘返回id,在当前html是唯一的；或者说：同一个_对象内是唯一的
escape_.escape(string)
Escapes a string for insertion into HTML, replacing &, <, >, ", `,
and ‘characters.
_.escape(‘Curly, Larry & Moe‘);
=> "Curly, Larry & Moe"
unescape_.unescape(string)
The opposite of escape, replaces &, <, >, ", ` and 'with
their unescaped counterparts.
_.unescape(‘Curly, Larry & Moe‘); => "Curly, Larry & Moe"
result_.result(object,
property)
If the value of the named property is a function then invoke it with the object as context; otherwise, return it.
var object = {cheese: ‘crumpets‘, stuff: function(){ return ‘nonsense‘; }};
_.result(object, ‘cheese‘);
=> "crumpets"
_.result(object, ‘stuff‘);
=> "nonsense"
now_.now()
Returns an integer timestamp for the current time, using the fastest method available in the runtime. Useful for implementing timing/animation functions.
_.now(); => 1392066795351
template_.template(templateString,
[settings])
Compiles JavaScript templates into functions that can be evaluated for rendering. Useful for rendering complicated bits of HTML from
JSON data sources. Template functions can both interpolate variables, using <%= … %>,
as well as execute arbitrary JavaScript code, with <% … %>.
If you wish to interpolate a value, and have it be HTML-escaped, use <%- … %> When
you evaluate a template function, pass in a data object
that has properties corresponding to the template‘s free variables. The settingsargument
should be a hash containing any _.templateSettings that
should be overridden.
1、模板很类似JS模板引擎，如artTemplate、Handlebars、Mustache等JS模板框架，主要是为了避免在javascript中拼接DOM字符串（非常的繁琐，而且很容易出错）。underscore.js提供的模板有三种使用方式：即<%= %>和<%- %>和<% %>。
// 替换普通变量
var varcompiled = _.template("<h2><%= word %></h2>");
console.log("template=" + varcompiled({word : "Hello World"}));
// 变量的值包含五个特殊字符（& < > " ' /），就需要用<%- ... %>转义
var escape = _.template("<h2><%- word %></h2>");
console.log("template=" + escape({word : "Hello & World"}));
//JavaScript命令可以采用<% … %>的形式插入
var compiled = _.template("<% console.log('Hello ' + epithet); %>");
compiled({epithet: "hehe"});
2、改变变量默认名称
//改变内部变量名称
//templateString中的所有变量，在内部都是obj对象的属性，而obj对象就是指第二个参数data对象。
// 下面语句是等同的。
console.log(_.template("Hello <%=user%>!")({ user: "jane" }));
console.log(_.template("Hello <%=obj.user%>!")({ user: "jane" }));
console.log(_.template("Hello <%=data.user%>!",{variable: 'data'})({ user: "jane" }));
// 查看预编译的源码
console.log(_.template("Hello <%=user%>!").source);之前提到过，underscore提供3种格式的模板<%= %>和<%- %>和<% %>。对应的源码如下：
// By default, Underscore uses ERB-style template delimiters, change the
// following template settings to use alternative delimiters.
_.templateSettings = {
evaluate : /<%([\s\S]+?)%>/g,
interpolate : /<%=([\s\S]+?)%>/g,
escape : /<%-([\s\S]+?)%>/g
};
var newformat = _.template("Hello {user}!",{interpolate : /{([\s\S]+?)}/g});
console.log("result=" + newformat({ user: "jane" }));
//很类似于jsp中写java
var tpt = "<% if (flag){ %>"
+ "<%= name %>"
+ "<% } %>";
+ "<% else {%>"
+ "<%= age %>"
+ "<% } %>";
var resultFunc = _.template(tpt);
console.log("result=" + resultFunc({"flag":true,"name":"aty","age":20}));可以看到：这种使用方式，很类型与JSP中写java代码，如果逻辑比较复杂，括号的嵌套层次比较多，那么这种方式写出的代码几乎不可读。上面的代码功能其实就是
if(flag)
{
return name;
}
else
{
return age;
}可以看到直接写javascript代码简单的多。这也是underscore模板的不足之处，虽然支持写javascript代码，但是非常复杂。等有时间我再去学习了专门的JS模板引擎，看它们是否能够实现的更优雅。
最后，underscore_1.7.0版本中utility还提供了一个iteratee函数，这个函数也比较复杂，而且主要是框架内部使用。后续再专门研究这个函数，单独写一篇博文。
