  • Object literal syntax: shorthand property names, computed property names, and method shorthand
  • Prototype chain and how property lookup traverses the chain
  • Object.create() for creating an object with a specified prototype (prototypal inheritance without classes)
  • instanceof operator: checking whether an object's prototype chain includes the prototype of a given constructor
  • hasOwnProperty() and Object.hasOwn() for distinguishing own properties from inherited prototype properties

  • Module scope: variables declared in a module are not global and are private to that module by default
  • ES module syntax: named exports versus default exports
  • Importing a default export and the difference from named import syntax
  • Importing named exports with destructuring syntax and renaming with 'as'
  • CommonJS module syntax (require/module.exports) versus ES module syntax (import/export)

  • Lexical scoping: how inner functions access variables from enclosing scopes at the time the function is defined
  • The value of this in different contexts: global, method call, constructor call, and arrow functions
  • Variable shadowing: inner scope declaration hiding an outer scope variable of the same name
  • Common event types: click, input, change, submit, keydown, keyup, focus, blur, load, DOMContentLoaded
  • addEventListener syntax: event type, listener callback, and optional useCapture/options parameter

Explainer

Promise.all() is a static method that accepts an iterable of promises and returns a single Promise that fulfills with an array of all fulfillment values when every input promise fulfills, or rejects immediately when any input promise rejects. It is used to run multiple independent asynchronous operations concurrently and collect their results together.
