JS: AngularJS Directive Attribute Binding Explanation

AngularJS Directive Attribute Binding Explanation

When using directives, you often need to pass parameters to the directive. This can be done in several ways. The first 3 can be used whether scope is true or false. This is still a WIP, so validate for yourself.

  1. Raw Attribute Strings

    <div my-directive="some string" another-param="another string"></div>

Types are Coming

Types are coming

Last week I had a crash course in PureScript - a Haskell-like language that compiles to JavaScript. I’m not about to preach that you should write your web apps in Haskell (though I strongly recommend learning Haskell), however, I do wish to explore an important part of any Functional Programming language that has eluded Javascript...

Types.

There is a lot to be said about Javascript and its lack of static typing. We’ve built the whole web with it! But this post will explore the benefits of a compile-time strong static type system.

“But Javascript does have types!?”
