JavaScript Cheat Sheet for MERN Stack Developers
By U Devs — Founded by Usama Aslam
1. JavaScript Basics
• JavaScript is a high-level, interpreted, dynamically typed language.
• Runs in browsers and on servers using [Link].
• Core language for MERN stack development.
2. Data Types
• Primitive: String, Number, Boolean, Undefined, Null, Symbol, BigInt.
• Non-Primitive: Object, Array, Function.
• JavaScript uses dynamic typing.
3. Variables
• var: function-scoped (not recommended).
• let: block-scoped and mutable.
• const: block-scoped, reference cannot be reassigned.
4. Functions
• Function declarations and expressions.
• Arrow functions for shorter syntax.
• Callbacks: functions passed as arguments.
5. Callbacks Explained
• Callbacks control execution order.
• Common in async tasks like APIs and timers.
• Avoid callback hell using Promises.
6. Synchronous vs Asynchronous
• Synchronous code runs line by line.
• Asynchronous code runs in background.
• Improves performance and responsiveness.
7. Promises
• Promise states: pending, fulfilled, rejected.
• then(), catch(), finally() methods.
8. Async / Await
• Simplifies promise handling.
• Looks like synchronous code.
• Use try/catch for errors.
9. Arrays & Objects
• Arrays store ordered collections.
• Objects store key-value pairs.
• Common methods: map, filter, reduce.
10. DOM & Web APIs
• DOM connects JavaScript with HTML.
• Web APIs include fetch and storage APIs.
11. ES6+ Features
• let / const, arrow functions.
• Template literals and destructuring.
• Modules (import/export).
12. Error Handling
• try...catch for runtime errors.
• throw custom errors.
13. Best Practices
• Write clean, readable code.
• Use async/await.
• Follow consistent naming conventions.
