How to loop through selected elements with document.querySelectorAll

I am trying loop on selected elements that queried with document.querySelectorAll, but how?

For example I use:

var checkboxes = document.querySelectorAll('.check');
for( i in checkboxes) {
  console.log(checkboxes[i]);
}

Output:

<input id="check-1" class="check" type="checkbox" name="check">
<input id="check-2" class="check" type="checkbox" name="check">
<input id="check-3" class="check" type="checkbox" name="check">
<input id="check-4" class="check" type="checkbox" name="check">
<input id="check-5" class="check" type="checkbox" name="check">
<input id="check-6" class="check" type="checkbox" name="check">
<input id="check-7" class="check" type="checkbox" name="check">
<input id="check-8" class="check" type="checkbox" name="check">
<input id="check-9" class="check" type="checkbox" name="check">
<input id="check-10" class="check" type="checkbox" name="check" checked="">

item()
namedItem()

My problem is that at the end this method returns 3 extra items. How can I properly do it?

Solution 1:

for in loop is not recommended for arrays and array-like objects - you see why. There can be more than just number-indexed items, for example the length property or some methods, but for in will loop through all of them. Use either

for (var i = 0, len = checkboxes.length; i < len; i++) {
    //work with checkboxes[i]
}

or

for (var i = 0, element; element = checkboxes[i]; i++) {
    //work with element
}

The second way can't be used if some elements in array can be falsy (not your case), but can be more readable because you don't need to use [] notation everywhere.

Solution 2:

My favorite is using spread operator to convert it to array and then use forEach for looping.

var div_list = document.querySelectorAll('div'); // returns NodeList
var div_array = [...div_list]; // converts NodeList to Array
div_array.forEach(div => {

// do something awesome with each div

});

I code in ES2015 and use Babel.js so there shouldn't be a browser support issue.
