Component versus Directive in AngularJS

Component versus Directive in AngularJS

.component()

Components are not "helper" methods, they are the best change in Angular 1.x since I've been using it.

What is the role of .component()?

  • Declares new HTML via a template or templateUrl
  • Should be used to create Components as part of a Component architecture

var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var rows = sheet.getDataRange();

Better Jasmine Tests With `this`

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() {

Three Wise Monkeys (NDA)

Date: [date]

Between us [company name] and you [customer name].

Summary:

In short; neither of us will share any confidential information about each-other, by any means, with anyone else.

What’s confidential information?

// A short snippet for detecting versions of IE in JavaScript
// without resorting to user-agent sniffing
// ----------------------------------------------------------
// If you're not in IE (or IE version is less than 5) then:
// ie === undefined
// If you're in IE (>=5) then you can determine which version:
// ie === 7; // IE7
// Thus, to detect IE:
// if (ie) {}
