A declarative router for service workers
I'm looking for feedback on this API. It isn't yet supported in any standard or browser. In the very early days of service workers (while they were still named "navigation controllers") we had the idea of a declarative router. This provided a high-level API to define the behaviour of particular routes, so the service worker wouldn't need to be started. We dropped the idea because we didn't want to
Arrays, symbols, and realms
On Twitter, Allen Wirfs-Brock asked folks if they knew what Array.isArray(obj) did, and the results suggested… no they don't. For what it's worth, I also got the answer wrong. Type-checking arrays Let's say we wanted to do something specific if obj is an array. JSON.stringify is an example of this, it outputs arrays differently to other objects. We could do:
Netflix functions without client-side React, and it's a good thing
Netflix functions without client-side React, and it's a good thing A few days ago Netflix tweeted that they'd removed client-side React.js from their landing page and they saw a 50% performance improvement. It caused a bit of a stir. This shouldn't be a surprise The following: Download HTML & CSS in parallel. Wait for CSS to finish downloading & execute it. Render, and continue rendering as HTML d
HTTP/2 push is tougher than I thought
"HTTP/2 push will solve that" is something I've heard a lot when it comes to page load performance problems, but I didn't know much about it, so I decided to dig in. HTTP/2 push is more complicated and low-level than I initially thought, but what really caught me off-guard is how inconsistent it is between browsers – I'd assumed it was a done deal & totally ready for production. This isn't an "HTT
ECMAScript modules in browsers
ES modules are now available in browsers! They're in… Safari 10.1. Chrome 61. Firefox 60. Edge 16. <script type="module"> import { addTextToBody } from './utils.mjs'; addTextToBody('Modules are pretty cool.'); </script> // utils.mjs export function addTextToBody(text) { const div = document.createElement('div'); div.textContent = text; document.body.appendChild(div); } Live demo. All you need is t
Async iterators and generators
Streaming fetches are supported in Chrome, Edge, and Safari, and they look a little like this: async function getResponseSize(url) { const response = await fetch(url); const reader = response.body.getReader(); let total = 0; while (true) { const { done, value } = await reader.read(); if (done) return total; total += value.length; } } This code is pretty readable thanks to async functions (here's a
The performance benefits of rel=noopener - JakeArchibald.com
If you have links to another origin, you should use rel="noopener", especially if they open in a new tab/window. <a href="http://example.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Example site </a> Without this, the new page can access your window object via window.opener. Thankfully the origin security model of the web prevents it reading your page, but no-thankfully some legacy APIs mean it can naviga
Streaming template literals
const areThey = 'Yes'; console.log(`${areThey}, they are`); // Logs: Yes, they are function strongValues(strings, ...values) { return strings.reduce((totalStr, str, i) => { totalStr += str; if (i in values) totalStr += `<strong>${values[i]}</strong>`; return totalStr; }, ''); } const areThey = 'Yes'; console.log(strongValues`${areThey}, they are`); // Logs: <strong>Yes</strong>, they are The synta
2016 - the year of web streams - JakeArchibald.com
Yeah, ok, it's a touch bold to talk about something being the thing of the year as early as January, but the potential of the web streams API has gotten me all excited. TL;DR: Streams can be used to do fun things like turn clouds to butts, transcode MPEG to GIF, but most importantly, they can be combined with service workers to become the fastest way to serve content. Streams, huh! What are they g
Tasks, microtasks, queues and schedules
Posted 17 August 2015 - hold onto your butts for this one, it's spec-heavy When I told my colleague Matt Gaunt I was thinking of writing a piece on microtask queueing and execution within the browser's event loop, he said "I'll be honest with you Jake, I'm not going to read that". Well, I've written it anyway, so we're all going to sit here and enjoy it, ok? Actually, if video's more your thing, P
The offline cookbook
Update: Together with Udacity I created a free offline-first interactive course. It involves taking an online-only site to full offline-first glory. Many of the patterns in this article are used. When AppCache arrived on the scene it gave us a couple of patterns to make content work offline. If those were the patterns you needed, congratulations, you won the AppCache lottery (the jackpot remains u
Animated line drawing in SVG
There's a demo you're missing here because JavaScript or inline SVG isn't available. I like using diagrams as a way of showing information flow or browser behaviour, but large diagrams can be daunting at first glance. When I gave talks about the Application Cache and rendering performance I started with a blank screen and made the diagrams appear to draw themselves bit by bit as I described the pr
