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).

/**
 * So, obviously this is by no means a "new trick",
 * but encapsulation in classes works the same as
 * it does in "Modules" (IIFE pattern): You hide them
 * in a scope, and define the methods that need access
 * to them within that same scope. The constructor is
 * as good a place as any for that.

// Promise.all is good for executing many promises at once
Promise.all([
  promise1,
  promise2
]);

// Promise.resolve is good for wrapping synchronous code
Promise.resolve().then(function () {
  if (somethingIsNotRight()) {
    throw new Error("I will be rejected asynchronously!");

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

System Design Cheatsheet

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

Basic Steps

1. Clarify and agree on the scope of the system

• User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
  • Who is going to use it?
  • How are they going to use it?

Installing Node.js with nvm to Linux & macOS & WSL

A quick guide on how to setup Node.js development environment.

Install nvm for managing Node.js versions

nvm allows installing several versions of Node.js to the same system. Sometimes applications require a certain versions of Node.js to work. Having the flexibility of using specific versions can help.

1. Open new Terminal window.

// Tools like Redux-saga, React-redux and Reselect can easily be used without Redux
// For Reselet there's nothing to do, it's just not coupled to Redux
// For the others, you just need to provide an adapter

// At Stample.co we use a legacy framework that is quite close to Redux but with a bad API
// We want to progressively migrate to Redux, so starting now to use Redux tools on new features will make our migration faster
