Forking a single package in a monorepo

Forking a single package in a monorepo

The trend of using monorepos makes a lot of things easier to manage. However, when you want to fork a single package inside a monorepo, you'll have to chose one of two options:

  • Fork the entire monorepo (meaning you get all those extra boilerplate you don't really care about)
  • Manually copying the package files into a new git repo (meaning you'll loose all git history and have a lot of work to do when there's a new version of your base package)

The good news: There's a solution for this! And it's actually built in to git.

git subtree

One of the lesser-known (and vaguely documented) features of git is subtree. It's intended for this purpose, working as a great alternative to the criticized submodules. There are very few resources about using this in practice, so here's a guide for this specific use case.

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

How to fix a canvas so it will look good on retina/high-DPI screens.
/*
UPDATED for 2023 - Now much simpler. The old tricks are no longer needed.
The following code makes an 800×600 canvas that is always as sharp as possible for the device.
You still draw on it as if it's the logical size (800×600 in this case), but everything just
looks sharper on high-DPI screens. Regular non-sharp screens are not affected.

How to make faster scroll effects?

How to make faster scroll effects?

  • Avoid too many reflows (the browser to recalculate everything)
  • Use advanced CSS3 for graphic card rendering
  • Precalculate sizes and positions

Beware of reflows

The reflow appens as many times as there are frames per seconds. It recalculate all positions that change in order to diplay them. Basically, when you scroll you execute a function where you move things between two reflows. But there are functions that triggers reflows such as jQuery offset, scroll... So there are two things to take care about when you dynamically change objects in javascript to avoid too many reflows:
