JavaScript Style Guide

@ljharb

the $ function produces a jquery object, with jquery methods

@1point7point4

But he says "Hey, we're following airbnb styleguide for our project and I wanted to know if its ok to prefix $ sign when storing DOM references (I saw the jQuery section in the styleguide, but we aren't using jQuery)"

Jordan Harband

@ljharb

Ohhh sorry

1point7point4

@1point7point4

i.e. he's not actually using jQuery but is wondering about using $ anyway

Jordan Harband

@ljharb

@riverspirit in that case no, don’t use a prefix for dom refs

$ means jquery, and nobody uses prefixes for anything else

jsx

@riverspirit

Thanks @1point7point4 for clarifying my point.

Thanks for your thoughts again @ljharb

1point7point4

@1point7point4

you're welcome

Hi all,
Does anyone know if exists an async/await for IE11?

1point7point4

@1point7point4

yes

it's called callbacks

they're pretty good, you should try them sometime

if you don't like those you can try promises or tasks

promises are more popular but they're for normies

Jordan Harband

@ljharb

@danstos async/await is just promises

you must know how they work to use await properly.

and you can definitely shim promises in IE

wly

@ahkjxy

async/await shim?

async/await shim for IE?

1point7point4

@1point7point4

@DanStos use a polyfill

1point7point4

@1point7point4

Does anyone know of a good place that actually is for discussing JS in general?

jsx

@riverspirit

@1point7point4, try the ##javascript channel on freenode.

Jordan Harband

@ljharb

@ahkjxy you can’t shim syntax, you’d use Babel to transpile it. But the Airbnb guide doesn’t let you do that for async/await because the transpile version is too heavyweight

@white-room

is there a consensus on factory function naming? #23.7 says to use camelCase when exporting single functions and #23.8 about PascalCase does not mention factories, so i would assume camelCase. also, what's the preferred naming convention for factory factions? createSomething / makeSomething / somethingFactory / etc?

https://github.com/airbnb/javascript#naming--PascalCase-singleton

Jordan Harband

@ljharb

yes, factory functions would be camelCase

there's no preferred convention, use whatever makes the most sense for your use case

can any one help this one

Write a program that takes two strings as input and outputs two numbers, n1 and n2.
The output values indicate a degree of matching between the two strings:

n1 : number of letters in one string that each match in value and
in position to a letter in the other string.

n2 : number of letters in one string that each match in value,
but not in position to a letter in the other string.

Some notes:

the output should be the same if the two strings were swapped
each letter instance in a string may only participate in one match.
if a letter instance can participate in either n1 or n2, it is to be counted towards n1.
the two strings may or may not be of the same length.

Some examples (str1, str2 -> n1,n2):

"abc", "abc" -> 3,0
"bca", "abc" -> 0,3
"aab", "abb" -> 2,0
"aab", "aba" -> 1,2
"abc", "aaa" -> 1,0

Hello guys, is there any rule for this chat?

hope you're having a great day

With rule, I'm referring to a policy about what do to, what not do, etc

Eric Bruno

@enz54

yes be polite , of course and I believe posting relevant issues. I dont think someone will have time to answer a question about java or c#. try to be as clear and specific as possible :-)

Maximiliano Tulian

@maximilianotulian

perfect, thanks Eric

Eric Bruno

@enz54

no worries @maximilianotulian

What's the convention regarding PropTypes for a required array of objects where the objects are not of a consistent structure?

Muhammad

@MuhammadJamaluddin

Also, regarding the (react/no-array-index-key) rule, what should I do if my objects don't have an id or any unique field for that matter?

Jordan Harband

@ljharb

when would an array not have a consistent structure across its items?

as for the key rule, certainly when there’s nothing unique about each item, you have to override that rule and just use the index, but also when would you have nothing unique about the items?

Muhammad

@MuhammadJamaluddin

Now that you asked, I think that yes the objects are consistent, but one situation where you could have inconsistent structure is if you're using MongoDB, so the objects could have different properties.

This is an excerpt of the array. Not sure if any of theses properties would considered to be unique.

{"events": [
  {"date": "-300", "description": "Pilgrims travel to the healing temples of Asclepieion to be cured of their ills. After a ritual purification the followers bring offerings or sacrifices.", "lang": "en", "category1": "By place", "category2": "Greece", "granularity": "year"}, 
  {"date": "-300", "description": "Pyrrhus, the King of Epirus, is taken as a hostage to Egypt after the Battle of Ipsus and makes a diplomatic marriage with the princess Antigone, daughter of Ptolemy and Berenice.", "lang": "en", "category1": "By place", "category2": "Egypt", "granularity": "year"}, ]}

I get these two elsint errors when I try to attach an event handler on the tbody element:

Visible, non-interactive elements with click handlers must have at least one keyboard listener.eslint(jsx-a11y/click-events-have-key-events)

Non-interactive elements should not be assigned mouse or keyboard event listeners.eslint(jsx-a11y/no-noninteractive-element-interactions)

<tbody onClick={score}>
      <tr>
        <td>1</td>
        <td>2</td>
        <td>3</td>
      </tr>
// ... other rows

I'm simply trying to build a telephone keypad-style UI that enables the user to choose a score

What is the recommended solution here?
