It is fair to say at least 1/3 of all reactjs questions posted on StackOverflow can be solved by understanding simple DOM event handler binding. Typically, they look like this: class EmailSignup extends React.Component { state = { email: ” } handleChange({target}) { this.setState({email: target.value}) } render(){ return <input onChange={this.handleChange} value={this.state.email} /> } } And then comes the dreaded error… Read more →
I love the sugar API of RequireJS. It’s elegant, clean and nearly identical to CommonJS. However, the examples often fail to demonstrate how to use it from a main.js file which does a require call, rather than a define. Doing something like this is quite useful, particularly when your config object is not a require call in itself: (function(config, require,… Read more →
Nearly two years ago, I started work on Epitome, an MVC framework for MooTools. And today, it’s pretty stable and a viable project to use, if you have MooTools in your stack, rather than jQuery. Unfortunately, less and less people use MooTools these days, myself included. This made Epitome redundant – and yet I wanted to continue using the API…. Read more →
So, Object.observe will become a standard at some point. In the meanwhile, you may want to unobtrusively log any methods called on an object from the outside. So I wrote this little snippet that helps me do just that. Object.monitor = function(obj, quiet){ var keys = (function(obj){ // include from prototype also, any function. var keys = [], key; for… Read more →
In the previous article, a number of things got covered that help with npm modules you’d want to use in your node.js projects. This is a continuation. anything in a require() is an npm module, installable via npm install name Interaction with the OS require(‘node-growl’) – Growl is a OSX style notification system, also available for windows or linux. node-growl… Read more →
We waited for ages for MooTools prime to come out and to get adopted and for web builds to show up and to become more MooTools-y. And then, we thought (me and the Grookedge who’s also a MooTools fanboi): So primish was born. Primish is just like a fork of prime that works in a browser. Out of the box….. Read more →
If you are a front-end developer that has dabbled a little bit in node and like it, you probably need to build a list of tools (npm modules etc) you can use in your day-to-day development. Here’s a small list of things I find I often reuse in different projects. anything in a require() is an npm module, installable via… Read more →
This is a somewhat underused and lesser known feature of HTML5 localStorage API. The spec says: The storage event is fired when a storage area changes, as described in the previous two sections (for session storage, for local storage). When this happens, the user agent must queue a task to fire an event with the name storage, which does not… Read more →
Just a quick update, Epitome now supports nodejs. Here’s an example creating a server via express and socket.io with a collection and a model that can be shared on the client as well: #!/usr/bin/env node ‘use strict’; var express = require(‘express’), app = express(), http = require(‘http’), server = http.createServer(app), io = require(‘socket.io’).listen(server); // load mootools globals and extend protos… Read more →
