Understanding npm-link - DailyJS - MediumSometimes you need to work on application code and a dependency at the same time. You might be the author of a dependency and don’t have good test coverage yet. The application can serve as an end-to-end test for the dependency. Maybe you need to debug an issue in your application and the problem seems to be in the dependency sources.tagged: npmlinksdebuggingnode24-09-2019

CSS Grid: illustrated introduction - DEV Community 👩💻👨💻I remember the first time I was learning CSS, and how I was excited to learn about float and inline display to place elements in the desired layout. I wonder how I would have reacted if a two-dimensional layout system was available at that time. Actually, even now I'm excited about this because it changes everything: the way we write our CSS but also the way we write our markup. With CSS grid it is easier than ever to build responsive, dynamic, and source order independent layouts.tagged: cssgrid13-09-2019
Font-display playgroundBefore we talk about what font-display is, let's talk about the lifetime of a web font. For a super detailed explanation of where web fonts fit in the browser rendering process, Ilya Grigorik has an amazing blog post on web font optimization. But, if we're just trying to understand the basics, there are basically three parts to it:tagged: web-fontsperformance12-09-2019

Web Font Optimization | Web Fundamentals | Google DevelopersThis article contains contributions from Monica Dinculescu, Rob Dodson, and Jeff Posnick.Typography is fundamental to good design, branding, readability, and accessibility. Webfonts enable all of the above and more: the text is selectable, searchable, zoomable, and high-DPI friendly, providing consistent and sharp text rendering regardless of the screen size and resolution. Webfonts are critical to good design, UX, and performance.tagged: webfontsoptimisation11-09-2019
Don't get locked up into avoiding lock-inA significant share of architectural energy is spent on reducing or avoiding lock-in. That's a rather noble objective: architecture is meant to give us options and lock-in does the opposite. However, lock-in isn't a simple true-or-false matter: avoiding being locked into one aspect often locks you into another. Also, popular notions, such as open source automagically eliminating lock-in, turn out to be not entirely true. Time to have a closer look at lock-in, so you don't get locked up into avoiding it!tagged: lock-invendors09-09-2019

Externals | webpackThe externals configuration option provides a way of excluding dependencies from the output bundles. Instead, the created bundle relies on that dependency to be present in the consumer's environment. This feature is typically most useful to library developers, however there are a variety of applications for it.tagged: webpackexternals09-09-2019
