How to Cancel a Fetch RequestJavaScript promises have always been a major win for the language -- they've led to a revolution of asynchronous coding that has vastly improved performance on the web. One shortcoming of native promises is that there's no true way to cancel a fetch...until now. A new AbortController has been added to the JavaScript specification that will allow developers to use a signal to abort one or multiple fetch calls.tagged: fetchabortspeclatejs01-05-2020
Optimizing Your GraphQL Request Waterfalls - Apollo BlogAs a technology, GraphQL is starting to gain traction. There are server implementations in a good selection of languages, and client support isn’t far behind. If you want to build your own GraphQL server, there’s plenty of information out there, but if you want to build an efficient one, there’s less guidance. I’ve been using GraphQL since it was a technical candidate, and have made plenty of mistakes along the way, but have been successful in making my GraphQL servers perform roughly as well as bespoke static endpoints.tagged: graphql29-04-2020
Looking at coronavirus.data.gov.uk - Matthew SomervilleLast weekend I got annoyed by an issue that had been closed on the GitHub repo of the UK’s coronavirus dashboard. The issue was about the site not working at all without JavaScript and whether it could do so, and the closure comment said: “That's unfortunately impossible. The entire service has been implemented in JavaScript (not just the map).” Bit of a red rag to a bull, so I wrote a version that worked fine without JavaScript in a few hours on Sunday morning, and also used far less bandwidth/CPU/etc, stuck it up on my website, and tweeted about it.tagged: cost-of-jscovid-19pandemic27-04-2020
