JSJ 469: The Case for JavaScript Iterators and Generators, part 2 Feb 02, 2021

Show notes

This is the follow on to the episode first recorded regarding JavaScripts iterators and generators. Dan takes the lead and picks up from last time. The panel discusses how JavaScript uses and implements iterators and where people are likely to see them. Then they dive into generators and briefly discuss the concept and their uses.CODE:

x = {[Symbol.iterator]() {let i = 0;return {next: () => ({done: i >= 10,value: i++})};}};
for (const v of x) console.log(v);
console.log([…x]);
console.log(…x);
function* g() {for (let i = 0; i < 10; ++i) yield i;}

JSJ 465:The Power of Micro Front-Ends with Michael Geers Jan 05, 2021

Show notes

Micro-services have been very popular on the backend for a while now. But can this architecture be applied to the front-end as well? Should it be applied to the front-end? Michael Geers, who literally wrote the book on micro-fronts ends, explains what they are and why they can be a powerful architectural pattern especially when implementing large-scale projects. He also describes how Web Components can be used to enable this type of application architecture.Panel

JSJ 464: Web Components FTW with Ben Farrell Dec 29, 2020

Show notes

Components have become the go-to method for structuring and composing UIs on the Web. Usually this means relying on a JavaScript framework such as React, Vue, or Angular. But it turns out that there is a standard mechanism for creating components built into browsers. Ben Farrell who wrote a book on this mechanism - Web Components - joins the panel to explain what they are, how they work, and why they are a great, light-weight alternative to JavaScript frameworks.Panel
