1. Declaration with value assignment
2. Declare loop variables and cache length inside of for() - this can
increase performance <http://jsperf.com/caching-array-length/67> - caching
length outside of for() is slower in almost all results (all Firefox and
Safari, IE9 and some Chrome results)
3. Unnecessary return values
Example can be rewritten as:
SelectParser.select_to_array = function(select) {
var parser = new SelectParser(), _ref = select.childNodes;
for (var _i = 0, _len = _ref.length; _i < _len; _i++) {
parser.add_node(_ref[_i]);
}
return parser.parsed;
};
yet another real example:
CoffeeScript (with use of Prototype):
class Chosen extends AbstractChosen
...
no_results_clear: ->
nr = null
nr.remove() while nr = @search_results.down(".no-results")
CoffeeScript translated to JavaScript:
Chosen.prototype.no_results_clear = function() {
var nr, _results;
nr = null;
_results = [];
while (nr = this.search_results.down(".no-results")) {
_results.push(nr.remove());
}
return _results;
};
and pure JavaScript:
var Chosen = Class.create(AbstractChosen, {
...
no_results_clear: function() {
this.search_results.select(".no-results").invoke("remove");
},
...
});
