Essential JavaScript Links

I no longer mantain this list. There are lots of other very comprehensive JavaScript link lists out there. Please see those, instead (Google "awesome JavaScript" for a start).

CSS Layout Debugger

A tweet-sized debugger for visualizing your CSS layouts. Outlines every DOM element on your page a random (valid) CSS hex color.

One-line version to paste in your DevTools

Use $$ if your browser aliases it:

I have a list of components that are dynamically bound to a parent region via region.components. This is an array that is rendered via ng-repeat. Since they are polymorphic and arbitrary, but all share the same base, I've created a base component directive. However, I want to hook (by component id) a directive up to the same component item. Since the property is dynamically evaluated the second directive never hooks into it.

First attempt:

I'm having trouble understanding the benefit of require.js. Can you help me out? I imagine other developers have a similar interest.

From Require.js - Why AMD:

The AMD format comes from wanting a module format that was better than today's "write a bunch of script tags with implicit dependencies that you have to manually order"

I don't quite understand why this methodology is so bad. The difficult part is that you have to manually order dependencies. But the benefit is that you don't have an additional layer of abstraction.

Couldn't find the text of this for a while...
