Advanced SCSS

Or, 16 cool things you may not have known your stylesheets could do. I'd rather have kept it to a nice round number like 10, but they just kept coming. Sorry.

I've been using SCSS/SASS for most of my styling work since 2009, and I'm a huge fan of Compass (by the great @chriseppstein). It really helped many of us through the darkest cross-browser crap. Even though browsers are increasingly playing nice with CSS, another problem has become very topical: managing the complexity in stylesheets as our in-browser apps get larger and larger. SCSS is an indispensable tool for dealing with this.

This isn't an introduction to the language by a long shot; many things probably won't make sense unless you have some SCSS under your belt already. That said, if you're not yet comfy with the basics, check out the aweso

Generators vs Fibers

Both ES6 generators and node-fibers can be used to block a coroutine while waiting on some I/O without blocking the entire process. Both can do this for arbitrarily deep call stacks. The main difference between the capabilities of the two is how explicit the syntax is.

Generators - Safe, but Explicit

In code that uses ES6 generators:

var run = require('gen-run'); // https://github.com/creationix/gen-run

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

What is dgeni?

dgeni is a documentation generator developed by the Angular team. Ironically it lacks documentation right now, so we try to develop a very simple step-by-step-guide here, until a better documentation is available. Please share and fork this Gist.

dgeni is currently used in these project

Why should I use dgeni?

This tutorial uses the "Sample hapi.js REST API" project.

Auto-deploying built products to gh-pages with GitHub Actions

This is a set up for projects which want to check in only their source files, but have their gh-pages branch automatically updated with some compiled output every time they push.

A file below this one contains the steps for doing this with Travis CI. However, these days I recommend GitHub Actions, for the following reasons:

It is much easier and requires less steps, because you are already authenticated with GitHub, so you don't need to share secret keys across services like you do when coordinate Travis CI and GitHub.
It is free, with no quotas.
Anecdotally, builds are much faster with GitHub Actions than with Travis CI, especially in terms of time spent waiting for a builder.
