关于字符串截取函数应该使用哪个的拙见

JS中常用的字符串截取函数有三个。

1. slice

   /**
   * Returns a section of a string.
   * @param start The index to the beginning of the specified portion of stringObj.
   * @param end The index to the end of the specified portion of stringObj. The substring includes the characters up to, but not including, the character indicated by end.
   * If this value is not specified, the substring continues to the end of stringObj.
   */
   slice(start?: number, end?: number): string;
   

2. substring

   /**
   * Returns the substring at the specified location within a String object.
   * @param start The zero-based index number indicating the beginning of the substring.
   * @param end Zero-based index number indicating the end of the substring. The substring includes the characters up to, but not including, the character indicated by end.
   * If end is omitted, the characters from start through the end of the original string are returned.
   */
   substring(start: number, end?: number): string;
   

3. substr

   /**
   * Gets a substring beginning at the specified location and having the specified length.
   * @deprecated A legacy feature for browser compatibility
   * @param from The starting position of the desired substring. The index of the first character in the string is zero.
   * @param length The number of characters to include in the returned substring.
   */
   substr(from: number, length?: number): string
   

可以看到slice和substring比较类似，可以接受两个参数，这两个参数都是字符串的下标。

而substr则不太一样，它的第一个参数也是下标，而第二个参数是截取的长度。

在某些情况下，截取一定的长度看起来貌似更好理解，不幸的是，我们从注解中可以看出substr已经被废弃了。MDN也这样提示我们。

既然被废弃了，那么我们就尽量不要去使用它。

然后就是比较类似的slice和substring，我的建议是只是用slice，因为它支持负数的小标，截取起来更加方便，让熟悉python字符串截取的我们倍感亲切。

let test = "wuuconix"
test = test.slice(0, -1)
console.log(test)

而substring则不支持负数下标。

所以之后遇到字符串截取问题不假思索地使用slice吧！
