This article has been given a more permanent home on my blog. Also, since it was first written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.
Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:
getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {
// the rest of your code goes here.
| // connect() is a function that injects Redux-related props into your component. | |
| // You can inject data and callbacks that change that data by dispatching actions. | |
| function connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps) { | |
| // It lets us inject component as the last step so people can use it as a decorator. | |
| // Generally you don't need to worry about it. | |
| return function (WrappedComponent) { | |
| // It returns a component | |
| return class extends React.Component { | |
| render() { | |
| return ( |
I recently had several days of extremely frustrating experiences with service workers. Here are a few things I've since learned which would have made my life much easier but which isn't particularly obvious from most of the blog posts and videos I've seen.
I'll add to this list over time – suggested additions welcome in the comments or via twitter.com/rich_harris.
Chrome 51 has some pretty wild behaviour related to console.log in service workers. Canary doesn't, and it has a load of really good service worker related stuff in devtools.

| // A javascript object containing all of the color names listed in the CSS Spec. | |
| // This used to be a big array, but the hex values are useful too, so now it's an object. | |
| // If you need the names as an array use Object.keys, but you already knew that! | |

⚠️ Note 2023-01-21
Some things have changed since I originally wrote this in 2016. I have updated a few minor details, and the advice is still broadly the same, but there are some new Cloudflare features you can (and should) take advantage of. In particular, pay attention to Trevor Stevens' comment here from 22 January 2022, and Matt Stenson's useful caching advice. In addition, Backblaze, with whom Cloudflare are a Bandwidth Alliance partner, have published their own guide detailing how to use Cloudflare's Web Workers to cache content from B2 private buckets. That is worth reading,
