Object.assign() to quickly set multiple inline stylesSince an HTMLElement its CSSStyleDeclaration (viz. its style property) essentially is an Object, it’s perfectly possible to pass it as the target object into Object.assign() along with a few other objects. The result is that all keys from those extra objects will be merged as CSS properties along with their values on the currently applied …

Earlier today I ran some tests to see how text-wrapping/hyphenation of long uninterrupted strings works in browsers. I tested both “normal” strings and strings of emojis. The tests (and its rendering results per browser) are stored on Codepen and embedded below: 💩 and ⚠️ behave differently (click to enlarge): These tests left me with some …

Say you have an object like this: const obj = { firstName: ‘John’, lastName: ‘Doe’, age: 50, eyeColor: ‘blue’ }; Using lodash’s forEach you can easily loop over this object, with easy access to both the key and the value: _.forEach(obj, function(value, key) { console.log(key + ‘ ‘ + value); }); But what about ES2015? …

Inspired upon a v0 implementation, I’ve recreated a Markdown renderer in Custom Elements v1. The result is <custom-markdown>. The code itself is pretty straightforward: other than some (contained) styling the custom element uses showdown to convert the Markdown to HTML. This conversion is triggered in the connectedCallback(). class Markdown extends HTMLElement { constructor() { super(); …

Great snippet by Benjamin De Cock: var supportsES6 = function() { try { new Function(“(a = 0) => a”); return true; } catch (err) { return false; } }(); The critical test is the a = 0. All browsers supporting default parameters have a fairly complete support of ES6 — for example, Edge 13 will …
Yesterday Ana Tudor wondered if should could write CSS selectors using less-than and greater-than logic: CSS attribute selector wish:[data-code>2][data-code<19] { /* styles */ }[data-code>=19][data-code<65] { /* other styles */ }and so on… — Ana Tudor (@anatudor) October 12, 2016 Unfortunately this kind of selectors don’t work (yet). Until then one could use JavaScript to tackling …

For a recent project we did at work I needed outlined text. Using text-shadow you can achieve the desired effect, but one must admit: it’s ugly. Some browsers however (Webkit) support the text-stroke property which gets a much nicer result. Here’s a demo pen: See the Pen CSS Transparent and Outlined Text by Bramus! (@bramus) …
From StackOverflow: It’s possible to include Emoji characters in modern browsers, but how can one make it a single color and choose that color? Using an (inset) text-shadow in combination with transparent text color this indeed is possible: With some more CSS – and an extra attribute – it’s possible to even achieve a (faux) …

A typical issue with the well supported Viewport Relative Units (you know: vh, vw, vmin, and vmax) that bothers me a lot is that MobileSafari (Safari on iOS) fails to take the height of the address bar into account for 100vh. Take a look at the footer of that first block in the screenshot below: …
