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

A workaround for the lack of a promise cancelation API
/**
* Registers the given callback to be called in the node.js callback
* style, with error as the first argument, when the promise resolves.
*
* Also, returns a function that may be used to prevent the callback
* from ever being called. Calling the returned function is synonymous
* with saying "I no longer care about the resolution of this promise,
* even if it fails."
*
* Since there is no provision in the promise spec for cancel/abort
