// this pattern below is common for using an incoming value otherwise using some default.

/* Bad:    */  x = x ? x : y; // simple ternary. 
                              // if x is truthy lets use it.

/* Better: */  x = x || y;    // logical OR. 
                              // you could string a bunch of these easily to grab the first non-falsy value:

Share Counts

I have always struggled with getting all the various share buttons from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, etc to align correctly and to not look like a tacky explosion of buttons. Seeing a number of sites rolling their own share buttons with counts, for example The Next Web I decided to look into the various APIs on how to simply return the share count.

If you want to roll up all of these into a single jQuery plugin check out Sharrre

Many of these API calls and methods are undocumented, so anticipate that they will change in the future. Also, if you are planning on rolling these out across a site I would recommend creating a simple endpoint that periodically caches results from all of the APIs so that you are not overloading the services will requests.

Better Jasmine Tests With this

On the Refinery29 Mobile Web Team, codenamed "Bicycle", all of our unit tests are written using Jasmine, an awesome BDD library written by Pivotal Labs. We recently switched how we set up data for tests from declaring and assigning to closures, to assigning properties to each test case's this object, and we've seen some awesome benefits from doing such.

The old way

Up until recently, a typical unit test for us looked something like this:

describe('views.Card', function() {

vojtajina

function Config() {
  this.useFoo = false;
  this.log = 'infoo;
}


@Inject(Config)
class SomeService{
  constructor(config) {
    // ...

jlongster

(function() {
  // Do not use this library. This is just a fun example to prove a
  // point.
  
  var Bloop = window.Bloop = {};

  var mountId = 0;
  function newMountId() {
    return mountId++;
  }
