Type Conversion

In JavaScript, we sometimes need to convert from one type to another. We can use a toDtring method to convert to a string. To convert to numbers, we can use parseInt and parseFloat. The biggest difference between the two is that parseFloat deals with decimal points. Each one of the methods returns the numbers of the item until it hits an alpha character Then is stops. For example…

console.log(Number.parseInt(123abc));

The log statement outputs the number 123 to the console.

Happy Coding!

Compression Streams API: Native gzip/deflate for the web

The Compression Streams API brings native, streaming gzip and deflate to the web platform. With built‑in CompressionStream and DecompressionStream, you can compress or decompress data on the fly—no third‑party libraries required. It integrates cleanly with Fetch/Response to turn streams into ArrayBuffer, Blob, Uint8Array, String, or JSON, works in Web Workers, and is part of the 2023 Baseline. Use it to shrink uploads, store compressed data offline, and streamline real‑time pipelines while keeping bundles lean.

Quick Tour of the Clipboard API

The Clipboard API brings modern, asynchronous copy, cut, and paste to web apps. Access Navigator.clipboard in secure contexts, handle copy/cut/paste events, and manage permissions and user activation. Note that Chromium, Firefox, and Safari differ on permissions and transient activation, so test across browsers.
