Default Parameters

When writing functions, we might have times when we have argument sent and other times when no arguments are sent to the function. In the cases where no arguments are sent, we might want to have default parameter values.

let getName = (animalName = ‘Bongo’) => {
     return animalName;
}
console.log(getName()); 

In this case, “Bongo” prints out because we did not send any arguments. If we change our log statement…

console.log(getName(‘George’)); 

The output will now be “George”.

A Friendly Introduction to the Document Object Model (DOM) API

The Document Object Model (DOM) is the browser’s in-memory representation of your HTML, letting JavaScript select elements (querySelector), listen to events (addEventListener), update content (textContent), toggle styles (classList), and create/insert nodes (createElement, insertAdjacentElement). With it, a button can change a box’s text, toggle a highlight class, set a data attribute, or insert a new paragraph right after the box—no page reload required—illustrating the simple flow: select, listen, update.
