Could you please go more in depth about "functional-style hooks ... before the framework madness"? I'd be interested in reading your thoughts as a newbie JS dev currently studying backbone/angular/jquery and other libraries.
- pothibo 13y agoI believe that what he meant (Correct me if I'm wrong), is that instead of creating a system of classes that tries to abstract everything out of the DOM, it's better act on the DOM itself, via jQuery, Zepto.js, etc. In some ways, what I showed in the post is functional. - Select a DOM i.e var $elem = $("#anElementId") - Act on it i.e $elem.fadeOut()
- platz 13y agoAnd yet what about the "JQuery soup" problem that everyone complains about? Isn't that due to having DOM manipulation code strewn about willy-nilly?
- pothibo 13y agoSometimes, it's good to encapsulate stuff into a class when you have a complex logic around a specific theme. It's not one or the other. It's one AND the other.
