Each occasionally I study a JavaScript property that I want I had recognized about years earlier — valueAsNumber is certainly one of them. The valueAsNumber offers the worth of an enter[type=number] as a Quantity sort, as a substitute of the normal string illustration if you get the worth:
/* Assuming an <enter sort="quantity" worth="1.234" /> */ // BAD: Get the worth and convert the quantity enter.worth // "1.234" const numberValue = parseFloat(enter.worth, 10); // GOOD: Use valueAsNumber enter.valueAsNumber // 1.234
This property permits us to keep away from parseInt/parseFloat, however one gotcha with valueAsNumber is that it’s going to return NaN if the enter is empty.
Thanks to Steve Sewell for making me conscious of valueAsNumber!
