JavaScript Jabber

This is the follow on to the episode first recorded regarding JavaScripts iterators and generators. Dan takes the lead and picks up from last time. The panel discusses how JavaScript uses and implements iterators and where people are likely to see them. Then they dive into generators and briefly discuss the concept and their uses.CODE:

• x = {[Symbol.iterator]() {let i = 0;return {next: () => ({done: i >= 10,value: i++})};}};
• for (const v of x) console.log(v);
• console.log([…x]);
• console.log(…x);
• function* g() {for (let i = 0; i < 10; ++i) yield i;}

Iterators and generators were introduced into JavaScript way back in 2015, yet they remain an underused and often misunderstood features of the language. In this episode Dan describes the purpose of iterators, how they're implemented in JavaScript, and why you're using them even if you aren't aware that you are, via the spread operator for example. The panel then discusses the pros and cons of iterators in JavaScript, and why most devs don't explicitly use them.Panel

Micro-services have been very popular on the backend for a while now. But can this architecture be applied to the front-end as well? Should it be applied to the front-end? Michael Geers, who literally wrote the book on micro-fronts ends, explains what they are and why they can be a powerful architectural pattern especially when implementing large-scale projects. He also describes how Web Components can be used to enable this type of application architecture.Panel

Components have become the go-to method for structuring and composing UIs on the Web. Usually this means relying on a JavaScript framework such as React, Vue, or Angular. But it turns out that there is a standard mechanism for creating components built into browsers. Ben Farrell who wrote a book on this mechanism - Web Components - joins the panel to explain what they are, how they work, and why they are a great, light-weight alternative to JavaScript frameworks.Panel
