What forces layout/reflow. The comprehensive list.

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics
  • elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

This Liquid loop for Jekyll sorts a collection by date in reverse order
{% comment %}
*
* This loop loops through a collection called `collection_name`
* and sorts it by the front matter variable `date` and than filters
* the collection with `reverse` in reverse order
*
* To make it work you first have to assign the data to a new string
* called `sorted`.

When Active Record Child Objects are Autosaved in Rails

belongs_to:

  1. Assigning an object to a belongs_to association does not automatically save the object. It does not save the associated object either.

has_one:

  1. When you assign an object to a has_one association, that object is automatically saved (in order to update its foreign key).
  2. In addition, any object being replaced is also automatically saved, because its foreign key will change too
  3. If either of these saves fails due to validation errors, then the assignment statement returns false and the assignment itself is cancelled.
  4. If the parent object (the one declaring the has_one association) is unsaved (that is, new_record? returns true) then the child objects are not saved. They will automatically when the parent object is saved.

Installing Postgres via Brew (OSX) (outdated see top most note)

Outdated note: the process is a lot easier now: after you brew install postgresql you can initialize or stop the daemon with these commands: brew services start postgresql or brew services stop postgresql.

new out put may look like

To have launchd start postgresql now and restart at login:
  brew services start postgresql
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
  pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres start

Visual instructions how to enable Google Maps on IOS using react-native-maps

Visual instructions how to enable Google Maps on IOS using react-native-maps

UPDATE: Following instructions are now a year old. I have recently managed to upgrade react-native-maps from 0.17 to the latest version 0.21 with react-native 0.51 - if you want to follow my instruction scroll down to the end this doc! Hope that will work for you too!

This is for my personal use, things might not be correctly explained here. For the official docs please check https://github.com/airbnb/react-native-maps

Steps from scratch:

1.react-native init GoogleMapPlayground
