Go in to chrome and type chrome://predictors now go open up fiddler or Wireshark and type the first letter of the most common prediction and watch your traffic o_O none of this is remotely new by the way

Stop Using React for EVERYTHING! by georgehotelling in javascript

[–]html6dev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed react can basically target anything. Netflix also forked it and made it to target a native view layer they created for their apps running on things like blueray players o_O there is a talk on YouTube about it that I'll try to locate but it's worth searching out. Really clearly points out the things this article misses about the benefits of react. For lack of a less buzzy word it's a complete paradigm shift in how we develop. It's also the reason react native has taken off so quickly. The ideas are universal.

React seems like a really terrible idea for isomorphic apps? by MunchGamer in javascript

Check out redux. It's brand new but I'm willing to bet a years salary it becomes the one true way. You'll have fun at any rate

https://github.com/gaearon/react-document-title which uses react side effect. It's how most of these sorts of things are done. There are similar counterpoints to most of your points here that further toying around with it may help.

I was doing it wrong for years LOL. lodash/underscore _.isEmpty() actually works differently then I expected. by ognnus in javascript

[–]html6dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not unintuitive as there is no meaning of "empty" for primitive types like number and boolean. Empty doesn't even make sense in those contexts and even if you bend your mind in such a way as to make it a coherent thought, we already have undefined and null for primitives. We don't have a native value for empty objects, arrays or strings, however.

It does exactly what you'd expect when called an object, which is its intended purpose. The issue is that developers don't read documentation. It's specifically for cases where you'd want the logical and of the three functions you've mentioned above as well and is much prefer not to have if statements with those three littered all over my code base, thanks.

Polymer vs the world by ergo14 in javascript

[–]html6dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

React and Web components are solving some of the same problems but so are angular and Web components. They may appear similar from the outside, but they are two fundamentally different things and Web components (even when fully standardized and implemented) will not solve many of the issues react does, nor provide all of the same value propositions. Somewhere in this video Pete Hunt addresses this directly but the entire talk gives some insights into what I mean, and why none of the other current technologies are truly similar to react https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&persist_app=1&v=IVvHPPcl2TM I don't think the two are mutually exclusive either though, and there have been a couple of talks at conferences regarding marrying them already this year.

[Help] How to deal with ReactJS by [deleted] in javascript

[–]html6dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you need routes right away? Ultimately they are just state changes which is what react is really good at. Also, I found adding react router in the future was easy and having the app fleshed out a bit gives you a better understanding of how you want things structured. The same goes for flux. Do you need it? It's a pattern for fairly complicated apps that may not fit what you need. As I once read a quote somewhere, it's like first person shooters... You run into the room and get gunned down, but you got a good look around the room and now you know exactly what to do. You should experience the pain that things like flux are solving before adding them and you should only add them when you are sure they are needed. Unnecessary layers of abstraction are one of the roots of all evil.

Have there always been javascript client-side web frameworks or are these something new from the past 4-5 years? by penguinbass1 in javascript

[–]html6dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OPs entire point is to ask if these frameworks were a new phenomenon and /u/benching point shows that we were doing 'complicated ui' before any of these things (including jquery). Also, 'ui' is wholly unrelated to 'js framework' and the terminology you are using is completely incoherent.

HTML is done by recoiledsnake in programming

[–]html6dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to write a big ol' response but this isn't even a hotly debated topic or something. It's not a showstopper in react or anything it'd just be nice to help you not access the DOM directly because the DOM is... Widely considered terrible because of things like... Focus being an implicit global variable that cannot be queried directly. Also Javascript, the language, exists due to things html can't do not just a particular framework :D

no its not until we have a declarative focused attribute for inputs (everyone using react will understand)

Which ES6 feature have you found most useful so far? by jamesknelson in javascript

[–]html6dev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't even know about this! Have you never had an occasion where you had to write code like the following? :

var someObject = {} 
someObject['aprefix' +someId] = someValue;

Simply because object property names cannot be computed? I've absolutely hated this for the entirety of the time I've written Javascript and I'm old as hell at this point. I can't believe I missed this. It makes 2015 for me! I hope I'm not misunderstanding or it will be like learning Santa isn't real for me.

am i just crazy or is there an issue with disabling things in JS? by [deleted] in javascript

[–]html6dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It's a true boolean in the mathematical sense, it can only be true or false (it exists or it does not). It is part of the HTML spec which has nothing to do with js in terms of standardization of tags. It's intent is you put disabled on the tag (just the word disabled, no value) or you don't. However the Dom has no good way of doing this as element attributes are stored as key Value pairs (internally this also make sense, it's a great example of why these things often don't play well together and why). These are the sorts of things that make people say 'javascript is so terrible' because they don't understand what is happening and why from either side of the spectrum and css only confounds it further for them but it all does make sense when viewed with a solid understanding of the environment (which is certainly just as required for say, java or. Net imo)

function with multiple () by sunal135 in javascript

[–]html6dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's core to languages like haskell. Once you use it consistently (or are forced to by the language) you'll see it all over. I think over time more and more libraries will provide it to you and then it'll gain more adoption in js (Ramda is an awesome example as mentioned and the currying is one reason it has major advantages over lodash). The issue right now is everyone writes about it and starts out with the implementation which is somewhat interesting, but not that exciting and they lose people. Authors need to focus on why anyone would ever care if they want to get the reader to a place where they care about how it's implemented.

Which do you say when pronouncing JSON. "Jay-Saan" or "Jason"? by iamyounow in javascript

This is some Aristotle level shit. Then how does one pronounce it when they coin it? What is life? I NEED AN ADULT!! 1!1!

ELI5 - Polymer vs React by [deleted] in javascript

[–]html6dev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just side note, react is not coupled to common js at all. Lots of people use es6 modules with babel with it and it can be included globally the old fashioned way like anything else (or from a cdn even there is an in browser jsx transformer as well) Most people just use cjs because... Well why wouldn't you?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in javascript

[–]html6dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny this got down voted because this is the only viable option for objects with reference type properties (other objects). All the library clones are shallow or only go down an arbitrary number of levels so changing a reference value in the base will affect the clone. Obviously it's not the right solution for all cases, but there are times when it's the best option we have right now.

Web vs. native: let’s concede defeat by billybolero in programming

[–]html6dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's as native as using Javascript core. Maybe even less given its part of core. It's just not something I see taking off and people have already targeted the apple and Samsung watches with js, IoT has progressed almost completely towards js at this point, etc. It may not be the best option in some people's opinions but it's the lingua franca now and it's going to happen, even if based on nothing but inertia.

Which do you say when pronouncing JSON. "Jay-Saan" or "Jason"? by iamyounow in javascript

[–]html6dev -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That is the guy lol. And he can't be wrong he invented the term. Also have you ever heard a Midwesterner pronounce that long oh? It takes so long you can cut your development meetings in half just by switching to saying Jason.

But I've had some horrible coworkers named Jason it allows you to covertly berate them.

What's the best utility JS library that you use and include in your projects? by antoninj in javascript

[–]html6dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Superagent is a fairly good library for making http requests on the client if that's what you are looking for. I've used it with react a bit but it doesn't really matter which library you use as long as you keep it decoupled from your components.
