Google Closure Compiler is jQuery or any other library agnostic. It has two types of optimizations – Simple Advanced I tried applying advanced optimizations, but it severely broke my application. If it does the same, you could either try to fix your application, or use simple optimization. There was a 32% drop in size with … Read more
John Resig reported a bug on recursive functions when he attempted to compile a nightly of jQuery 1.4, so there are a few kinks to be worked out. I wouldn’t use a jQuery compiled with Closure Compiler without making sure it passes the jQuery testbed. http://code.google.com/p/closure-compiler/issues/detail?id=1&can=1#c2
The only Google project I’m aware of that uses AngularJS is the DoubleClick team. (presentation) Essentially, they still use Google Closure Library for everything but the UI building. Also note that they use Google Closure Compiler, but that’s almost a given, “nobody” uses only the Library without the Compiler. Google Closure Library comes with a … Read more
How about google’s own service: http://closure-compiler.appspot.com/home I should point out that “setting up the entire project on my own” really is not half as scary as you make it out to be :p. I mean, it’s a matter of downloading a java.jar and running it. Instructions: Download at http://closure-compiler.googlecode.com/files/compiler-latest.zip Unzip run java command line: java … Read more
“Whichever you find best for you” I think is the general answer at the moment – YUI has been available longer so undoubtedly will be the one which currently has the consensus as being the best tool. Whereas Closure is new to us – so there isn’t the wealth of experience with Closure as there … Read more
I had the same issue, and it could have been solved easily if we were able to specify the base url using the document_base_url. Alternatively, I was able to specify the base url before initializing tinymce. tinyMCE.baseURL = “URL_TO/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/”;// trailing slash important tinyMCE.init({ mode : “textareas”, theme : “simple” }); TinyMCE is working fine now.
From MDN: The void operator evaluates the given expression and then returns undefined. This operator allows inserting expressions that produce side effects into places where an expression that evaluates to undefined is desired. The void operator is often used merely to obtain the undefined primitive value, usually using “void(0)” (which is equivalent to “void 0“). … Read more
As of late 2014 in jsdoc3 you have the possibility to write: /** * @param {(‘rect’|’circle’|’ellipse’)} shapeType – The allowed type of the shape */ Shape.prototype.getType = function (shapeType) { return this.type; }; Of course this will not be as reusable as a dedicated enum but in many cases a dummy enum is an overkill … Read more
I’ll try to add my piece of information. More than another JS lib As I understand it, Google Closure is not only another JS library, but it is also a set of tools that will allow you to optimize your JS code. Working with jQuery gives you good tools and a lightweight library, but it … Read more
