JavaScript Global
Global functions — setTimeout, fetch, parseInt, and more. This category documents 49 JavaScript global entries, and each page gives you the full syntax, the parameter list, the return value, a runnable example, time complexity, the TypeScript signature, and the mistakes developers most often make with that API. The entries are: setTimeout(), clearTimeout(), setInterval(), clearInterval(), setImmediate(), queueMicrotask(), fetch(), eval(), parseInt(), parseFloat(), isNaN(), isFinite(), encodeURI(), encodeURIComponent(), decodeURI(), decodeURIComponent(), structuredClone(), URL(), globalThis, escape(), unescape(), Infinity, NaN, undefined, Number(), String(), BigInt(), BigInt.prototype.toString(), Intl.DateTimeFormat, Intl.NumberFormat, Intl.Collator, Intl.ListFormat, Intl.RelativeTimeFormat, Intl.Segmenter, n + BigInt, BigInt.asIntN(), BigInt.asUintN(), BigInt.prototype.toLocaleString(), Intl.DateTimeFormat.prototype.format(), Intl.NumberFormat.prototype.format(), and more. For a structured walkthrough of the whole topic, read the Global Functions guide. Not sure which method you need? setTimeout() and clearTimeout() are the most commonly used starting points in this category.
