TL;DR: In ES6, an IIFE is implemented as follows:
… Unlike ES5, which is syntactically less opinionated, in ES6, when using an IIFE, parenthetical order matters. For instance, in ES5 an IIFE could be written either as:
… or
As can be seen in the above examples, in ES5 one could either wrap and invoke a function… Continue Reading
Being a typical aspect of Object Oriented Design, inheritance, and mixins, provide the means by which modular reuse patterns can be facilitated within a given system. Similarly, Polymer facilitates code reuse patterns by employing the notion of shared behaviors modules. Let’s take a quick look at how to leverage them in Polymer when using ES6 classes. Implementing Behaviors Implementing a… Continue Reading
When building Web Components the ability to observe property / attribute changes on custom elements and respond to them accordingly can prove quite useful. Fortunately, Polymer makes this incredibly easy. Let’s take a quick look … (note, we’ll be using ES6 here) Single Property Observers In it’s most basic form, a Single Property Observer can be defined by simply implementing… Continue Reading
For the past several months I have been evaluating potential frameworks which could facilitate the implementation of context aware Web Components such that each component can be assembled declaratively into recombinant features and higher-level applications. After a focused period of prototyping each candidate framework, Polymer 1.x has proven to be the most effective approach to satisfy these particular design goals,… Continue Reading
So here is an utterly ridiculous trick that may actually prove to be quite useful should you ever need it. With recent Chrome updates, hosts which fail to provide a valid SSL certificate are blocked via a NET::ERR_CERT_INVALID error. This essentially is the result of a secure site failing to provide a valid SSL Certificate in some way. In Chrome,… Continue Reading
Hello again… Indeed, a greeting may be appropriate here as it has been quite some time since I have actively blogged which, for all intents and purposes, has been for good reason. After a decade of continuous blogging with a minimum of at least one (hopefully) informative article per month, I had made a conscious decision to take a step… Continue Reading
