Last active August 29, 2015 14:06
An example of discovering if a queryCommand works in a cross-browser, old-browser compliant way.
function runQueryCommand(command, showUI, value) {
var commandWorked = false,
initialDesignMode = document.designMode || "off";
try {
document.designMode = "on";
commandWorked = !!(
document.queryCommandSupported(command) &&
document.queryCommandEnabled(command) &&
document.queryCommand(command, showUI, value)

JamesMGreene / clickToCopy_queryCommand.js
Last active August 29, 2015 14:01
An example of how synthetic click-to-"copy" events might look if we use `document.execCommand`.
var hasModernClipboardApi, queryCopySupported, syntheticCopySupported, button;
hasModernClipboardApi = window.ClipboardEvent != null;
try {
queryCopySupported = document.queryCommandSupported("click-to-copy") === true;
}
catch (e) {
queryCopySupported = false;

NPM/semver versioning dilemma

NPM Versioning Dilemma

Background on my Node module

  • I have an existing published Node module, flex-sdk, which basically serves as a downloader and wrapper for an external, non-JavaScript dependency: the Adobe/Apache Flex SDK.
  • As such, the Node module's version number is based on the version of the Flex SDK which it wraps, e.g. flex-sdk@4.5.1 == Flex SDK 4.5.1
  • I just discovered that I should also be bundling additional Flash API libraries (for compilation) with these various SDKs.
