It's pretty great how web development has kept being terrible in new exciting ways for 20 years now!

Granted, the terrible of web dev ten years ago (when I swore it off) was a hell of a lot worse than the current terrible.

I haven't been following Jest since I got disgusted with how slow it was a year or so ago. Have they managed to make it fast yet? I keep seeing stories come across my feeds about Jest and it makes me want to give it another shot.

Video about new React Router 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vur2dAFZ4GE Audio is a little crackly, but it was interesting. The new router actually looks pretty amazing, and resolves all the stuff I ever had a problem with previous versions. Hooray.

It just feels like you're fighting against something. BTW, here's the docs for v4. Thermopyle fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Sep 30, 2016 |

Anyone using the Polymer Project? I am getting lost in all of the javascript options and since I don't care about browser compatibility (can tell users, just use Chrome's latest version). Or would skipping Polymer and going straight to web components be an option?

Thermopyle posted:I think the real question is, why do you think you need Polymer or web components? Polymer popped up in a discussion when we were looking at the technology used in one of our company's external customer facing apps so I guess that prompted the question since I've been working my way through react and am toying around with redux and mobx.

Uziel posted:Ah yes, the good old "your question is not your actual question" haha. In thinking about it, I guess my real question is: is there a front end framework/library/etc that is best suited when you have 100% control over what browser a user has and don't need to care about compatibility? Being that my apps are solely for use on an internal network, I can enforce usage of Chrome and have full control over technology choices as well. Are you talking "makes things look good" type of library, a "makes things easy to code", or a "does both at the same time"? My guess is the first, but I'm not sure.

Being that my apps are solely for use on an internal network, I can enforce usage of Chrome and have full control over technology choices as well. If you can enforce the latest version of Chrome, any of the next gen SPA frameworks will be fine (Angular 2, Aurelia, React). Your decision will likely come down to personal preference for how they feel. I'd try doing some basic tutorials on each of them and see how you like each one.

I thought using React would solve all my spaghetti code problems and everything would be glorious and clean and pure. Turns out you can take the man out of the spaghetti but you can't take the spaghetti out of the man. At least the pasta is 200% easier to write now.

"That’s exactly why you hear me push back when I hear you mention another library!!! ;-)" My project's senior architect in response to that piece. To be fair, it's infinitely easier now to write up an Aurelia application that it was to jury rig an SPA with jQuery as I had to do in my last project. It's a horrible, terrible adventure learning all these tools and making some sense out of it all, but once the hard work is done, productivity improves. I found that being overwhelmed by choice was the worst part of the process. The memories of the SystemJS/Webpack/RequireJS arguments I had with myself keep me awake at night.

I've had to revert to jquery in my new job (among other special horrors), and I spend most of the day thinking to myself how much easier it would be in angular.

I'm actually pretty pleased with the state of the js right now, with the one huge exception being my lack of meaningful integration testing, what are you goons using?

I get to a point when I'm very pleased... then Webpack 2.0 and react-router 4.0 come out. Then I fight the "I have to be current" monster who lives inside of me who can't be happy knowing that my stuff works great and will continue to work great even if some of the libraries are *gasp* several weeks old...

I try to live by a policy wherein I don't really worry about upgrading my tooling and libraries but once a year or so. I've got a frontend-tooling-and-libraries repo that contains my complete setup with my commonly used libraries. It has webpack all configured as well as package.json, eslint, blah blah blah. package.json has library versions pinned to the major version. Then once in a blue moon I'll revisit it all. Of course it usually takes a couple days to iron out everything that has changed. I've actually been working on updating it over the past week or so.

Does anyone have experience using Elm in a real project? It's the latest stop in my functional programming vision quest (after Haskell and before Elixir), and I like a lot of what it does, but I'm also wondering how practical it is to use and maintain an Elm project day-to-day.

I may have asked this before: How many of you work in a design firm type of thing, where you're constantly making new/updated sites for a variety of clients Vs Working for a company and only updating their site(s)?

I wanted to try React with TypeScript and followed the tutorial here https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/react-&-webpack.html Using that project as a base, I got my toy project to a state where it almost Just Works when you run npm install and then webpack

After a year's hiatus doing backend and big data stuff, I'm back to poo poo up this thread - one of my first projects is untangling a page that contains jQuery, Angular 1, and React. Praise Javascript!
