Essential JavaScript Links

A curated list by Eric Elliott and friends. Suggest links in the gist comments.

Help us turn this into a proper website!

This is a very exclusive collection of only must-have JavaScript links. I'm only listing my favorite links. Nothing else makes the cut. Feel free to suggest links if you think they're good enough to make this list. The really curious should feel free to browse the comments to find other links. I can't guarantee the quality of links in the comments.

Full Disclosure

In most programming languages, most functions are synchronous: a call to the function does all of its business in the same thread of execution. For functions meant to retrieve data, this means the data can be returned by calls to the function.

For an asynchronous function, a call to the function triggers business in some other thread, and that business (usually) does not complete until after the call returns. An asynchronous function that retrieves data via another thread cannot directly return the data to the caller because the data is not necessarily ready by the time the function returns.

In a sense, asynchronous functions are infectious: if a function foo calls an asynchronous function to conclude its business, then foo itself is asynchronous. Once you rely upon an asynchronous function to do your work, you cannot somehow remove the asynchronicity.

callbacks

When the business initiated by an asynchronous function completes, we may want to run some code in response, so the code run

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');

The 4 C's of good technical communication:

concise

Concision not only saves the audience time, it cuts out distracting verbiage and helps avoid burying key information in a sea of boiler plate.

Audiences very often revisit sources, and concision makes it easier to relocate particular bits of information.

Smaller pieces are easier to rearrange, and so in practice, the more concise, the more authors are likely to work out an ideal structure.
