while (cond) {}
Loop while a condition holds
arr.forEach((x, i) => {})
Run a callback per element
break / continue
Exit or skip a loop iteration
label: for (...) { break label; }
Break out of nested loops
DOM & events
10document.querySelector('.x')
First matching element
document.querySelectorAll('.x')
All matching elements (NodeList)
el.addEventListener('click', fn)
Attach an event listener
el.classList.toggle('active')
Toggle a CSS class
el.dataset.id
Read a data-id attribute
el.textContent = 'hi'

About JavaScript Cheat Sheet
This JavaScript cheat sheet is a searchable, single-page reference to the modern language: variables and types, functions, strings, arrays, objects, async and promises, control flow, DOM and events, and classes and modules. Each entry pairs a real code snippet with a one-line explanation of what it does.
It is written for the JavaScript people actually ship today — let and const, arrow functions, destructuring, spread, optional chaining, template literals, async/await and ES modules — so it doubles as a quick refresher when you switch back from another language.
The whole sheet loads client-side and is free. Filter it live with the search box, jump between sections from the sticky table of contents, click any snippet to copy it, and print the page for a desk-side JavaScript reference.
How to use JavaScript Cheat Sheet
- Open the sheet and skim the section list — from Variables & types through DOM & events to Classes & modules.
- Type into the search box to filter every row live; the match counter shows how many snippets fit.
- Use the sticky table of contents to jump straight to a section such as Async & promises.
- Click a snippet, or its copy icon, to copy the code to your clipboard.
- Click Print for a clean, paper-friendly copy of the whole reference.
Frequently asked questions
Nine sections: variables and types, functions, strings, arrays, objects, async and promises, control flow, DOM and events, and classes and modules — each as copy-ready snippets with short descriptions.
Yes. The snippets use current syntax — let/const, arrow functions, destructuring, optional chaining, async/await, classes and ES modules — reflecting ES2022+ JavaScript rather than legacy patterns.
Yes. Clicking any code snippet, or the copy icon that appears when you hover a row, puts it on your clipboard immediately with a brief “Copied!” confirmation.
Yes. The Print button produces a clean layout with the search bar, navigation and buttons stripped out, so the printed pages contain only the snippets and their descriptions.
Yes. It is free, loads entirely in your browser, and requires no account.
