CHAPTER 2: COLLECTIONS

--- Iterating data sets

    function getStudentInfo(elem, indx, list) {
    var container = document.getElementById("container");
    var student = "<p>" + elem.firstname + " " + elem.lastname + ", Grade: " + elem.grade + "</p>";
    container.innerHTML = container.innerHTML + student;
    }

    /* use the "size" property to get number of elements */
      numStudentElem = document.getElementById("numstudents");
    numStudentElem.innerHTML = numStudentElem.innerHTML + _.size(students);

/* use the each() function to iterate over every element */
_.each(students, getStudentInfo);

--- Filtering data

    function getPassingStudents(elem) {
    return ((elem.midterm_score + elem.final_score) / 2 > 65);
    }

    // check to see if a student did better on their final than on their midterm
    function checkImprovement(item) {
        return item.final_score > item.midterm_score;
    }

/* use the filter() function to narrow down the list */
var result = _.filter(students, getPassingStudents);

/* use the where() function to select items */
//var result = _.where(students, {"school" : "Thoreau", "grade" : 10});

/* the reject() function is the opposite of filter() */
/* this invocation will return the failing students */
//var result = _.reject(students, getPassingStudents);

      // use the every() function to ensure that all of a set of criteria have been met
      alert(_.every(students, checkImprovement));
      // use the some() function to see if any elements pass the criteria
      alert(_.some(students, checkImprovement));

    /* now use each() to populate the list */
    _.each(result, function(elem, indx, list) {
var container = document.getElementById("container");
var student = "<p>" + elem.firstname + " " + elem.lastname + ", Grade: " + elem.grade + "</p>";
container.innerHTML = container.innerHTML + student;
    });

--- Searching

    function searchStudents(item) {
      // return true if the student goes to Franklin
      if (item.school === "Franklin")
        return true;
    }

      /* Test the find() function */
      // find the first student that goes to Franklin
      var elem = _.find(students, searchStudents);

      var container = document.getElementById("container");
      var student = "<p>" + elem.firstname + " " + elem.lastname + ", Grade: " + elem.grade + "</p>";
      container.innerHTML = container.innerHTML + student;

      /* Test the findWhere() function */
      // return the first Thoreau student who is a junior
      elem = _.findWhere(students, {school : "Thoreau", grade: 11});
      var container = document.getElementById("container");
      var student = "<p>" + elem.firstname + " " + elem.lastname + ", Grade: " + elem.grade + "</p>";
      container.innerHTML = container.innerHTML + student;

      // contains() searches a list of values for a value
      // pluck() retrieves the values for a given property name
      var grades = _.pluck(students,"final_score");
      // did anyone get a perfect final?
      if (_.contains(grades, 100))
        alert("Found a perfect final score!");

--- Sorting and Grouping

    function sortStudentsByGrade(item) {
        return item.grade;
    }

    function groupStudentsBySchool(item) {
        return item.school;
    }

    function countStudentsByGrade(item) {
        if (item.grade == 9)
            return "freshmen";
        else if (item.grade == 10)
            return "sophomores";
        else if (item.grade == 11)
            return "juniors";
        else return "seniors";
    }

        /* Sorting by grade */
        var sorted = _.sortBy(students, sortStudentsByGrade);
        _.each(sorted, getStudentInfo);

        /* grouping students by school */
        var grouped = _.groupBy(students, groupStudentsBySchool);
        for (i in grouped) {
            var container = document.getElementById("container");
            var school = "<p style='font-weight:bold'>Students that go to: " + i + "</p>";
            container.innerHTML = container.innerHTML + school;
            _.each(grouped[i], getStudentInfo);
        }

        /* Counting the number of students in each grade */
        var counts = _.countBy(students, countStudentsByGrade);
        for (i in counts) {
            var container = document.getElementById("container");
            var groups = "<p style='font-weight:bold'>" + i + ": " + counts[i] + "</p>";
            container.innerHTML = container.innerHTML + groups;
        }

--- Manipulating
    function listGrades(finalGrades) {
    _.each(finalGrades, function(elem,indx,list) {
    var container = document.getElementById("container");
    container.innerHTML = container.innerHTML + elem;
    });
    }
    function assignGrades(item) {
        var grade = (item.midterm_score + item.final_score) / 2;
        var letterGrade;

        if (grade <=64)
            letterGrade = "F";
        else if (grade > 64 && grade <=69)
            letterGrade = "D";
        else if (grade >= 70 && grade <= 79)
            letterGrade = "C";
        else if (grade >= 80 && grade <= 89)
            letterGrade = "B";
        else if (grade >= 90)
            letterGrade = "A";

return "<p>" + item.firstname + " " + item.lastname + ": " + letterGrade + "</p>";
}

        // The shuffle() function randomizes the contents of the list
        // using an algorithm called the Fisher-Yates shuffle
        students = _.shuffle(students);
        _.each(students, getStudentInfo);

        // the map() function creates a new array based upon each item in the list
        // Let's assign letter grades to each one of the students:
        var finalGrades = _.map(students, assignGrades);
        listGrades(finalGrades);

CHAPTER 3: ARRAYS AND OBJECTS

--- Array Data

        // begin by plucking the midterm scores data from the students list
        var midScores = _.pluck(students, "midterm_score");
        midScores.sort(); // sort the array

        // use the first() and last() functions to extract array data
        var container = document.getElementById("container");
        var data = "<p>First score is " + _.first(midScores) + "</p>";
        data += "<p>Last score is " + _.last(midScores) + "</p>";
        container.innerHTML = container.innerHTML + data;

        // initial() and rest() can also be used to get data
        data = "<p>Initial scores, minus the last 3: " + _.initial(midScores,3) + "</p>";
        data += "<p>Rest of the scores, minus the first 3: " + _.rest(midScores,3) + "</p>";
        container.innerHTML = container.innerHTML + data;

--- Array Operations

        // Use without() to remove unwanted values from the array
        var result = "<p>without(): " + _.without(array1,0,2,3) + "</p>";
        container.innerHTML = container.innerHTML + result;
        result = "<p>" + _.without(array2,"A","E","I","O","U") + "</p>";
        container.innerHTML = container.innerHTML + result;

        // Use the union() function to join two arrays together
        result = "<p>union(): " + _.union(array1, array2) + "</p>";
        container.innerHTML = container.innerHTML + result;

        // Use the intersection() function to see what's common to both
        result = "<p>intersection(): " + _.intersection(array1, array3) + "</p>";
        container.innerHTML = container.innerHTML + result;

        // The difference() function shows values not present in other array
        result = "<p>difference(): " + _.difference(array1, array3) + "</p>";
        container.innerHTML = container.innerHTML + result;

--- Object Information

      // given a student object, retrieve the object's keys
      var keys = _.keys(students[0]);
      container.innerHTML += "<p>The student object contains the keys: " + keys;

      // now get the object's values
      var values = _.values(students[0]);
      container.innerHTML += "<p>The student object contains the values: " + values;

      // use the pick() function to get just specific properties
      var subsetStudent = _.pick(students[0], "lastname", "grade");
      container.innerHTML += "<p>pick() on lastname, grade: " + subsetStudent.lastname + ", " + subsetStudent.grade;

      // use the omit() function to filter out properties
      var filteredStudent = _.omit(students[0], "midterm_score", "final_score");
      container.innerHTML += "<p>omit() on midterm_score, final_score: ";
      container.innerHTML += "<blockquote>" + _.keys(filteredStudent) + "</blockquote>";
      container.innerHTML += "<blockquote>" + _.values(filteredStudent) + "</blockquote>";

--- Object Operations

      // extend each student object with a new property, their average score
      container.innerHTML += "<h2>Extending student objects with average_score</h2>";
      _.each(students, function(elem, indx, list) {
        avg = (elem.midterm_score + elem.final_score) / 2;
        _.extend(elem, {"average_score" : avg});
      });
      _.each(students,getStudentInfo);

      // use the defaults() method to assign default values to an object
      container.innerHTML += "<h2>Assigning default values to a new object</h2>";
      var defaultValues = {final_score: 0, midterm_score: 0, grade: 9};
      var newStudent = {firstname: "John", lastname: "Doe"};
      _.defaults(newStudent, defaultValues);
      container.innerHTML += "<p>" + newStudent.firstname + " " + newStudent.lastname +
            ", Midterm: " + newStudent.midterm_score + ", Final: " + newStudent.final_score + "</p>";

      // clone() makes a shallow-copy of the object (in other words, properties that
      // are arrays or objects will be copied by reference, and not duplicated themselves)
      container.innerHTML += "<h2>Cloning an existing object</h2>";
      var copyStudent = _.clone(students[0]);
      container.innerHTML += "<p>" + copyStudent.firstname + " " + copyStudent.lastname +
            ", Midterm: " + copyStudent.midterm_score + ", Final: " + copyStudent.final_score + "</p>";

CHAPTER 4: MISCELLANEOUS

--- Miscellaneous

      // create a unique ID, with and without a prefix
      log("Using uniqueId() to generate an ID for use in the DOM");
      var sID = _.uniqueId();
      log("ID with no prefix: " + sID);
      var sID = _.uniqueId("prefix_");
      log("ID with prefix: " + sID);

      // generate a random number
      var rand1 = _.random(25); // one argument means between 0 and value
      log("random number up to 25: " + rand1);

var rand2 = _.random(100, 200); // generates value within range
log("random number within 100 and 200: " + rand2);

      // use the times() function to execute a counter loop
      log("using _.times():");
      _.times(5, function(n) {log("time " + n)});

      // extend Underscore itself using the mixin() function
      log("extending Underscore with a capitalize() function:");
      _.mixin({
            capitalize: function(string) {
                return string.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + string.substring(1).toLowerCase();
            }
      });
      log(_("capitalize").capitalize());
      log(_("CAPITALIZE").capitalize());

--- Functions

    function doInitialize() {
      log("Initialize function! Don't call me more than once!");
    }

      // create a function that can't be called more than one time
      log("Initialize the app multiple times:")
      var initfunc = _.once(doInitialize);
      initfunc();
      initfunc();
      initfunc();

      // the throttle() function can be used to limit the number of
      // times that a function is executed when called repeatedly
      function updateCharCount() {
        var elem = document.querySelector("#text1");
        document.querySelector("#charcount").textContent = (elem.value).length
      }
      updater = _.throttle(updateCharCount,1000);
      document.querySelector("#text1").addEventListener("keydown", updater);

      // the bind() function binds a function to a given object, which becomes the
      // value of the "this" keyword inside the function.
      var myObj = {
        firstname: "Joe",
        lastname: "Marini"
      }
      function dumpData1() {
        log(this.firstname + " " + this.lastname)
      }
      function dumpData2() {
        log(this.lastname + ", " + this.firstname)
      }

      var func = _.bind(dumpData1, myObj);
      func();
      func = _.bind(dumpData2, myObj);
      func();

--- Templates

var templateString = "<div><span>Name: <%= lastname %></span></div>";
var templateString2 = "<div><span>Name: <% print(lastname.toUpperCase()) %></span></div>";

    var studentInfo1 = "<% _.each(students, function(item) { %>" +
                      "<div class='studentRec " +
                      "<% (item.midterm_score + item.final_score) / 2 > 65 ? print('passingStudent') : print('failingStudent') %>'>" +
                      "<span style='font-weight:bold'>Name:</span> <span><%= item.lastname %>, <%= item.firstname %> </span>" +
                      "<span style='font-weight:bold'>School:</span> <span><%= item.school %></span></div>" +
                      "<% }); %>";

      // compile the template string
      var compiledTemplate = _.template(templateString);
      var compiledTemplate = _.template(templateString2);

      // now we can call the template with different data
      var result = compiledTemplate({
        lastname: "Hossenfeffer"
      });

      // to perform a one-off template operation, just pass in the data object
      // as the second parameter to the template
      var result = _.template(studentInfo1, students);
      appendTemplateData(result);

CHAPTER 5: PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
