# JS Objects

While working with JS there are some objects and methods which are more frequently used. This is a small collection of them.

* `Math.floor(v)`, `Math.ceil(v)`, `Math.round(v)` - largest, smallest, rounded integer from float
* `Math.random()` - create a random number between 0 and 1
* `Object.keys(o)` - get keys from object (including QObject)
* `JSON.parse(s)`, `JSON.stringify(o)` - conversion between JS object and JSON string
* `Number.toFixed(p)` - fixed precision float
* `Date` - Date manipulation

You can find them also at: [JavaScript reference](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference)

Here some small and limited examples of how to use JS with QML. They should give you an idea how you can use JS inside QML

## Print all keys from QML Item

```qml
Item {
    id: root
    Component.onCompleted: {
        var keys = Object.keys(root);
        for(var i=0; i<keys.length; i++) {
            var key = keys[i];
            // prints all properties, signals, functions from object
            console.log(key + ' : ' + root[key]);
        }
    }
}
```

## Parse an object to a JSON string and back

```qml
Item {
    property var obj: {
        key: 'value'
    }

    Component.onCompleted: {
        var data = JSON.stringify(obj);
        console.log(data);
        var obj = JSON.parse(data);
        console.log(obj.key); // > 'value'
    }
}
```

## Current Date

```qml
Item {
    Timer {
        id: timeUpdater
        interval: 100
        running: true
        repeat: true
        onTriggered: {
            var d = new Date();
            console.log(d.getSeconds());
        }
    }
}
```

## Call a function by name

```qml
Item {
    id: root

    function doIt() {
        console.log("doIt()")
    }

    Component.onCompleted: {
        // Call using function execution
        root["doIt"]();
        var fn = root["doIt"];
        // Call using JS call method (could pass in a custom this object and arguments)
        fn.call()
    }
}
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.novaflowos.com/start/qt6-qml-book/readme/ch16-javascript/js-objects.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
