Editing Native forEach vs jQuery.each This edit will create a new revision. Your details (optional) Name Email (won’t be displayed; might be used for Gravatar) URL Test case details Title * Published (uncheck if you want to fiddle around before making the page public) Description (in case you feel further explanation is needed)(Markdown syntax is allowed) Are you a spammer? (just answer the question) Preparation code Preparation code HTML (this will be inserted in the <body> of a valid HTML5 document in standards mode) (useful when testing DOM operations or including libraries) <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script> Include JavaScript libraries as follows: <script src="//cdn.ext/library.js"></script> Define setup for all tests (variables, functions, arrays or other objects that will be used in the tests) (runs before each clocked test loop, outside of the timed code region) (e.g. define local test variables, reset global variables, clear canvas, etc.) (see FAQ) var iterable = new Array(1000000); // From: https://developer.mozilla.org/pt-PT/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/forEach function mdn( callback, thisArg ) { var T, k; if ( this == null ) { throw new TypeError( "this is null or not defined" ); } // 1. Let O be the result of calling ToObject passing the |this| value as the argument. var O = Object(this); // 2. Let lenValue be the result of calling the Get internal method of O with the argument "length". // 3. Let len be ToUint32(lenValue). var len = O.length >>> 0; // Hack to convert O.length to a UInt32 // 4. If IsCallable(callback) is false, throw a TypeError exception. // See: http://es5.github.com/#x9.11 if ( {}.toString.call(callback) !== "[object Function]" ) { throw new TypeError( callback + " is not a function" ); } // 5. If thisArg was supplied, let T be thisArg; else let T be undefined. if ( thisArg ) { T = thisArg; } // 6. Let k be 0 k = 0; // 7. Repeat, while k < len while( k < len ) { var kValue; // a. Let Pk be ToString(k). // This is implicit for LHS operands of the in operator // b. Let kPresent be the result of calling the HasProperty internal method of O with argument Pk. // This step can be combined with c // c. If kPresent is true, then if ( Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(O, k) ) { // i. Let kValue be the result of calling the Get internal method of O with argument Pk. kValue = O[ k ]; // ii. Call the Call internal method of callback with T as the this value and // argument list containing kValue, k, and O. callback.call( T, kValue, k, O ); } // d. Increase k by 1. k++; } // 8. return undefined }; Define teardown for all tests (runs after each clocked test loop, outside of the timed code region) (see FAQ) Code snippets to compare Test 1 Title Async (check if this is an asynchronous test) Code iterable.forEach($.noop); Test 2 Title Async (check if this is an asynchronous test) Code $.each(iterable, $.noop); Test 3 Title Async (check if this is an asynchronous test) Code mdn.call(iterable, $.noop);
