JavaScript: providing a backward compatibility layer for changed function names/signatures
/*
Figuring out how to provide a Backward Compatibility Layer
GOALS:
[aliasing] provide a function (nextGeneration) in another name (previousGeneration)
[parameters] the functions might differ in argument order (or length, …)
[warnings] log each access/mutation to the alias (previousGeneration) so old code bases can be cleaned up

Question: Promise resolved handling
// Do you prefer alwaysWrapped() or wrappedWhenNeeded() for
// a method that depends on some promise being resolved?
function FooBar() {
this.ready = $.getJSON('something.funky');
}
FooBar.prototype.alwaysWrapped = function() {
return this.ready.then(function(){
// do something that returns a promise

Feedback on IScroll 5 docs

feedback on iscroll docs:

  • if the docs were a github repo, one could fix typos etc. by sending a PR. github pages are awesome and can be given their own domain. (DalekJS.com is a repo - no effort, no webspace, just DNS)
  • I'm missing an index / table-of-contents for the API (config options and callable methods)
  • I can't link to a config option (e.g. "options.click") directly. This made you put in comments like "see below" instead of a much more convenient link.
  • I generally find "basic features" and "advanced options" to be not very meaningful headlines / groups. If I'm reading the docs, I probably have no idea what is basic and what is advanced.
  • I don't mind multiple documents (one for API, one for concepts, one for suggestions, one for demos, …)
  • the file names in the many faces of iscroll could link to the respective files on github
  • I don't

Some notes on making user interaction a describable thing

Proposal for User Interaction Indirection

(formerly "Proposal for Enhanced Keyboard Interaction")

"Abstraction of user interaction by introduction command primitives"

originally I thought this would only mean something to the keyboard. But having an abstract concept of a "command" enables us to access the same actions via keyboard, voice, touch-gesture, etc. Probably the main problem is going to be "context". Which command is applicable to what kind of an element and in which situation is it even possible to execute the action.
