Void(0)
eliminate the unwanted side-effect, because it will return the undefined primative value. Example hyperlink stops a new page or refresh.
<a href="JavaScript:Void(0);">
preventDefault() Event Method
The preventDefault() method cancels the event if it is cancelable, meaning that the default action that belongs to the event will not occur.

Clicking on a "Submit" button, prevent it from submitting a form
Clicking on a link, prevent the link from following the URL

Get screen size, change on windows resize
Javescript to get current screen size : window.innerWidth;
Put this code inside the body tag so the value change when resizing the browser
onresize="screensize()"
Check for a variable that is not created yet
use the typeof function
typeof nonexits_variable !== 'undefined'

Math Funcitons
var Math = 46.7899
Math.round() // Returns a number that is rounded to the nearest integer.
Math.ceil() // Returns a number that is greater than or equal to your argument
Math.floor() // Returns a number that is less than or equal to your argument
String Manipulation
Conditional Statements
if((condition1) {
block of code to be executed if condition1 is true
} else if (condition2) {
block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is true
} else {
block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is false
}
These are the same
var testvar = true
if (testvar === true) , no need for this
if (testvar) you can just use this for true and false variables
switch(expression) {
case n:
code block
break;
case n:
code block
break;
default:
code block
}

Find location of scroll and execute function based one where you are
In this example we are looking at a div called container, and its height
example
var content_height = container.offsetHeight;
var current_y = window.innerHeight + window.pageYOffset;
// console.log(current_y + '/' + content_height);
if(current_y >= content_height) {
loadMore(); // execute the function loadMore
}

ES 6 printing a variable with text, string method
Use the back tick symbol also called acute (under the Tilde ) instead of the single quote
