Playwright network settled helper

Network Settled

This helper waits for requests initiated by the action to finish. It is similar to waitUntil: 'networkidle' option, but is designed to work with any action, like click.

Example usage:

const waitForNetworkSettled = require('./networkSettled');

// Wait for network settled after navigation,

Child Routers in Express

Nested Routers in Express.js

Express makes it easy to nest routes in your routers. But I always had trouble accessing the request object's .params when you had a long URI with multiple parameters and nested routes.

Let's say you're building routes for a website www.music.com. Music is organized into albums with multiple tracks. Users can click to see a track list. Then they can select a single track and see a sub-page about that specific track.

At our application level, we could first have a Router to handle any requests to our albums.

const express = require('express');

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.

JSX, a year in

Hi Nicholas,

I saw you tweet about JSX yesterday. It seemed like the discussion devolved pretty quickly but I wanted to share our experience over the last year. I understand your concerns. I've made similar remarks about JSX. When we started using it Planning Center, I led the charge to write React without it. I don't imagine I'd have much to say that you haven't considered but, if it's helpful, here's a pattern that changed my opinion:

The idea that "React is the V in MVC" is disingenuous. It's a good pitch but, for many of us, it feels like in invitation to repeat our history of coupled views. In practice, React is the V and the C. Dan Abramov describes the division as Smart and Dumb Components. At our office, we call them stateless and container components (view-controllers if we're Flux). The idea is pretty simple: components can't

Lock and unlock a page's scroll position.

jquery.scrollLock.js

Useful for when a blocking user experience is needed (in my case, didn't want people unwittingly loosing their place by scrolling while a modal required their attention): $.scrollLock() locks the body in place, preventing scroll until it is unlocked.

// Locks the page if it's currently unlocked
$.scrollLock();

// ...or vice versa
