we commonly assign stuff in if statments like this:
if (variable = someFn()) {
//do something with variable
}
This results in lint and IDE warnings (did you mean ==?).
It is better to be explicit about our intention and wrap the assignement
into parens:
if ((variable = someFn())) {
//do something with variable
}
Doing so suppresses warnings + is easier to understand the intention.
I verified that the closure compiler strips the extra parens, so there
is no byte overhead for this safety practice.
We should use this style going forward...
the flag must be in all src and test files so that we get the benefit of
running in the strict mode even in jstd
the following script was used to modify all files:
for file in `find src test -name "*.js"`; do
echo -e "'use strict';\n" > temp.txt
cat $file >> temp.txt
mv temp.txt $file
done
- add `sync` flag xhr.cache
- change ng:include to use the sync flag
- change ng:view to use the sync flag
The end result is that there are fewer repaints in the browser,
which means less "blinking" that user sees.
they have no significant effect on minified and gziped size. in fact
they make things worse.
file | before | after removal
----------------------------------------
concat | 325415 | 325297
min | 62070 | 62161
min + gzip | 25187 | 25176
The bottom line is that we are getting 0.05% decrease in size after
gzip without all of the hassle of using underscores everywhere.
- split up services into files under src/service
- split up specs into files under test/service
- rewrite all specs so that they don't depend on one global forEach
- get rid of obsolete code and tests in ng:switch
- rename mock $log spec from "$log" to "$log mock"
