Advanced SCSS

Or, 16 cool things you may not have known your stylesheets could do. I'd rather have kept it to a nice round number like 10, but they just kept coming. Sorry.

I've been using SCSS/SASS for most of my styling work since 2009, and I'm a huge fan of Compass (by the great @chriseppstein). It really helped many of us through the darkest cross-browser crap. Even though browsers are increasingly playing nice with CSS, another problem has become very topical: managing the complexity in stylesheets as our in-browser apps get larger and larger. SCSS is an indispensable tool for dealing with this.

This isn't an introduction to the language by a long shot; many things probably won't make sense unless you have some SCSS under your belt already. That said, if you're not yet comfy with the basics, check out the aweso

Fading Actionbar

This is a quick example of how to create a fading actionbar effect like this in Appcelerator Titanium

How this works

This is actually very simple. The trick is putting the Actionbar in overlay mode by configuring the theme with windowActionBarOverlay:true. Then all you need to do is updating the color of the Actionbar, in this case by scrolling a ScrollView.

Using TypeScript Node.js with native ESM

This reference guide shows how to configure a TypeScript Node.js project to work and compile to to native ESM.

Rationale

CommonJS module system was introduced by the Node.js developers due to the lack of the notion of "modules" in the original JavaScript (ECMAScript) language specification at that time. However, nowadays, ECMAScript has a standard module system called ESM — ECMAScript Modules, which is a part of the accepted standard. This way CommonJS could be considered vendor-specific and obsolete/legacy. Hopefully, TypeScript ecosystem now supports the "new" standard.

So the key benefits are:
