Is there a way to use constants in JavaScript? 有没有办法在JavaScript中使用常量?
If not, what's the common practice for specifying variables that are used as constants? 如果没有,指定用作常量的变量的常见做法是什么?

I too have had a problem with this. 我也有这个问题。 And after quite a while searching for the answer and looking at all the responses by everybody, I think I've come up with a viable solution to this. 经过一段时间寻找答案并查看每个人的所有回复,我想我已经想出了一个可行的解决方案。
It seems that most of the answers that I've come across is using functions to hold the constants. 似乎我遇到的大部分答案都是使用函数来保存常量。 As many of the users of the MANY forums post about, the functions can be easily over written by users on the client side. 正如许多论坛的许多用户所发布的那样,这些功能可以很容易地被客户端的用户覆盖。 I was intrigued by Keith Evetts' answer that the constants object can not be accessed by the outside, but only from the functions on the inside. 我对Keith Evetts的回答很感兴趣,即外部不能访问常量对象,而只能从内部的函数访问。
So I came up with this solution: 所以我提出了这个解决方案:
Put everything inside an anonymous function so that way, the variables, objects, etc. cannot be changed by the client side. 将所有内容放在匿名函数中,这样客户端就无法更改变量,对象等。 Also hide the 'real' functions by having other functions call the 'real' functions from the inside. 还可以通过让其他函数从内部调用“真实”函数来隐藏“真实”函数。 I also thought of using functions to check if a function has been changed by a user on the client side. 我还想过使用函数来检查客户端用户是否更改了某个函数。 If the functions have been changed, change them back using variables that are 'protected' on the inside and cannot be changed. 如果功能已更改,请使用内部“受保护”的变量将其更改回来,并且无法更改。

constants are being stored. If there is a property with the same name in the object holder, we return

It also seems that security is really a problem and there is not way to 'hide' you programming from the client side. 似乎安全性确实是一个问题,并且无法从客户端“隐藏”您的编程。 A good idea for me is to compress your code so that it is really hard for anyone, including you, the programmer, to read and understand it. 对我来说一个好主意是压缩你的代码,这样任何人,包括你,程序员,都很难阅读和理解它。 There is a site you can go to: http://javascriptcompressor.com/ . 您可以访问以下网站: http : //javascriptcompressor.com/ 。 (This is not my site, don't worry I'm not advertising.) This is a site that will let you compress and obfuscate Javascript code for free. (这不是我的网站,不要担心我不做广告。)这是一个允许您免费压缩和混淆Javascript代码的网站。
- Copy all the code in the above script and paste it into the top textarea on the javascriptcompressor.com page. 复制上面脚本中的所有代码并将其粘贴到javascriptcompressor.com页面上的顶部textarea中。
- Check the Base62 encode checkbox, check the Shrink Variables checkbox. 选中Base62编码复选框,选中Shrink Variables复选框。
- Press the Compress button. 按“压缩”按钮。
- Paste and save it all in a .js file and add it to your page in the head of your page. 将其全部粘贴并保存在.js文件中,然后将其添加到页面顶部的页面中。

No, not in general. 不,不是一般的。 Firefox implements const
but I know IE doesn't. Firefox实现const
但我知道IE没有。
@John points to a common naming practice for consts that has been used for years in other languages, I see no reason why you couldn't use that. @John指出了在其他语言中使用多年的竞争的常见命名实践,我认为没有理由不能使用它。 Of course that doesn't mean someone will not write over the variable's value anyway. 当然,这并不意味着有人不会写出变量的值。 :) :)

Since ES2015 , JavaScript has a notion of const
: 从ES2015开始 ,JavaScript有一个const
的概念:
const MY_CONSTANT = "some-value";
This will work in pretty much all browsers except IE 8, 9 and 10 . 除了IE 8,9和10之外,这几乎适用于所有浏览器 。 Some may also need strict mode enabled. 有些可能还需要启用严格模式 。
You can use var
with conventions like ALL_CAPS to show that certain values should not be modified if you need to support older browsers or are working with legacy code: 您可以将var
与ALL_CAPS等约定一起使用,以显示如果您需要支持旧版浏览器或使用旧代码,则不应修改某些值:
var MY_CONSTANT = "some-value";

I use const
instead of var
in my Greasemonkey scripts, but it is because they will run only on Firefox... 我在我的Greasemonkey脚本中使用const
而不是var
,但这是因为它们只能在Firefox上运行...
Name convention can be indeed the way to go, too (I do both!). 名称约定确实也是要走的路(我两个都做!)。

For a while, I specified "constants" (which still weren't actually constants) in object literals passed through to with()
statements. 有一段时间,我在传递给with()
语句的对象文字中指定了“常量”(仍然不是实际常量)。 I thought it was so clever. 我觉得它太聪明了。 Here's an example: 这是一个例子:
with ({
MY_CONST : 'some really important value'
}) {
alert(MY_CONST);
}
In the past, I also have created a CONST
namespace where I would put all of my constants. 在过去,我还创建了一个CONST
命名空间,我将放置所有常量。 Again, with the overhead. 再次,与开销。 Sheesh. 啧。
Now, I just do var MY_CONST = 'whatever';
现在,我只做var MY_CONST = 'whatever';
