JavaScript - The Strings Object

The String object in JavaScript lets you work with a series of characters; it wraps JavaScript's string primitive data type
with a number of helper methods.

As JavaScript automatically converts between string primitives and String objects, you can call any of the helper methods
of the String object on a string primitive.

The string is a sequence of characters containing 0 or more characters. For example, 'Hello' is a string.

Syntax

JavaScript strings can be created as objects using the String() constructor or as primitives using string literals.

Use the following syntax to create a String object −

const val = new String(value);

The String parameter, value is a series of characters that has been properly encoded.

We can create string primitives using string literals and the String() function as follows −

str1 = 'Hello World!'; // using single quote


str2 = "Hello World!"; // using double quote
str3 = 'Hello World'; // using back ticks
str4 = String('Hello World!'); // using String() function

String Properties
Here is a list of the properties of String object and their description.

Sr.No. Property & Description

constructor
1
Returns a reference to the String function that created the object.

length
2
Returns the length of the string.

prototype
3
The prototype property allows you to add properties and methods to an object.
String Methods
Here is a list of the methods available in String object along with their description.

Static Methods

The static methods are invoked using the 'String' class itself.

Sr.No. Property & Description

fromCharCode()
1
Converts the sequence of UTF-16 code units into the string.

fromCodePoint()

Creates a string from the given sequence of ASCII values.

Instance Methods

The instance methods are invoked using the instance of the String class.

Sr.No. Method & Description

at()
1
Returns the character from the specified index.

Returns the character at the specified index.

charCodeAt()

endsWith()
6
Checks whether the string ends with a specific character or substring.

includes()
7
To check whether one string exists in another string.

8 indexOf()
Returns the index within the calling String object of the first occurrence of the specified value, or -1 if not
found.

lastIndexOf()
9 Returns the index within the calling String object of the last occurrence of the specified value, or -1 if not
found.

localeCompare()

string in sort order.

match()
11
