Why no semicolon at the end of js expression in javascriptmvc app?
I am starting to learn javascriptmvc, and in code samples, I see code without semicolons at the end of expressions. Does this count on automatic semicolon insertion or am I missing something? Code example below:
$.Controller("Contacts.Controller", {
init: function(){
this.params = new Mxui.Data();
$("#category .list_wrapper").mxui_data_list({
model : Contacts.Models.Category,
show : "//contacts/views/categoryList",
create: "//contacts/views/categoryCreate"
}) // <------ NO SEMICOLON
$("#location .list_wrapper").mxui_data_list({
model : Contacts.Models.Location,
show : "//contacts/views/categoryList",
create: "//contacts/views/categoryCreate"
})开发者_运维技巧 // <------ NO SEMICOLON
$("#company .list_wrapper").mxui_data_list({
model : Contacts.Models.Company,
show : "//contacts/views/companyList",
create: "//contacts/views/companyCreate"
}) // <------ NO SEMICOLON
// etc...
}
}) // <------ NO SEMICOLON
Javascript can be forgiving about the lack of a semicolon in ways that other languages are not. However a semicolon is recommended where you've pointed them out.
If you run the code you've given through JSLint, it throws up a whole stack of warnings, including complaining about those missing semicolons.
JSLint is a tool for telling you about things in your code which may not be syntax errors but which could cause problems. It generally throws up a lot of errors, even for relatively well written code, but it is good for picking up things which you should fix.
I would say that those code samples are poorly written because of the missing semi-colons.
Semicolons are only mandatory in inline event handlers. MOST anywhere else, a linefeed is enough. Here is an example of where it is not enough: Why is a semicolon required at end of line? And as pointed out, do not leave out semicolons if you want to minify your scripts.
A lot of semicolons are optional in javascript, though recommended to avoid confusion
