TypeScript and currying

In functional programming you often want to apply a function partly. A simple example is a function add. It would be nice if we could use add like:

var res2 = add(1, 3); // => 4

var add10To = add(10);
var res = add10To(5); // => 15

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

Javascript Study Notes

These are my own paper version notes meeting the digital world. They are related to my learnings from 2017-18, or just stuff I thought would be nice to keep a record during the time I was grasping some Javascript topics.

PS: Don't expect all the material here to be 100% accurate or up-to-date. If you find some part that's wrong, or missing or old, please send me a comment to fix! :)
