Pagination 101

Article by Faruk Ateş, [originally on KuraFire.net][original] which is currently down

One of the most commonly overlooked and under-refined elements of a website is its pagination controls. In many cases, these are treated as an afterthought. I rarely come across a website that has decent pagination, and it always makes me wonder why so few manage to get it right. After all, I'd say that pagination is pretty easy to get right. Alas, that doesn't seem the case, so after encouragement from Chris Messina on Flickr I decided to write my Pagination 101, hopefully it'll give you some clues as to what makes good pagination.

Before going into analyzing good and bad pagination, I want to explain just what I consider to be pagination: Pagination is any kind of control system that lets the user browse through pages of search results, archives, or any other kind of continued content. Search results are the o

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions

Guide to Developing Addons and Blueprints for Ember CLI

Converting libraries to Ember CLI addons

In this guide we will cover two main cases:

  • Ember specific library
  • vendor library

Ember library

The Ember library will assume that Ember has already ben loaded (higher in the loading order) and thus will assume it has access to the Ember API.

Writing ES6 today, effectively.

Effective transpiling of ES6

After publishing my article on ECMAScript 6, some have reached out to ask how I exactly I make it all work.

I refrained from including these details on the original post because they're subject to immiment obsoletion. These tools are changing and evolving quickly, and some of these instructions are likely to become outdated in the coming months or even weeks.

The main tool

When evaluating the available transpilers, I decided to use 6to5, which has recently been renamed to Babel. I chose it based on:

args.push(function(error, result) {
error ? reject(error) : resolve(result);
});

// Usage:
// Copy and paste all of this into a debug console window of the "Who is Hiring?" comment thread
// then use as follows:
