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.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics
  • elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

A CSS pseudo-element is used to style specified parts of an element. In some cases you can style native HTML controls with vendor specific pseudo-elements. Here you will find an list of cross browser specific pseudo-element selectors.

Styling native elements

Native HTML controls are a challenge to style. You can style any element in the web platform that uses Shadow DOM with a pseudo element ::pseudo-element or the /deep/ path selector.

ui-bootstrap $dialog service refactor discussion

(written by @pawel)

We've got a number of bug reports opened for the $dialog service and while some of them can be fixed by (relatively) simple changes to the existing code-base some other are difficult to solve due to the way current code is structured. Additionally the existing API would benefit from some some simplifications.

This docs aims to list existing issues and propose a new API plus some implementations details that would address existing issues.

As a remainder, docs for the current service are located here: https://github.com/angular-ui/bootstrap/blob/master/src/dialog/README.md
