🚦 TRANSMISSION #6: Meteor Repo decoupling, Community member core maintainers, 1.3 Modules & Webpack 2.0

Siyfion · February 16, 2016, 4:15pm

Just a quick question @sashko, is there somewhere that we can comment on the contents of the guide? Perhaps highlight any missing areas, gotchas, etc.?

For example: in the methods section, you suggest using mdg:validated-method but there is an issue if you have a method that takes no parameters at all, if you simply call Collection.methods.methodName.call() it will error. As the validator validate: new SimpleSchema({}).validator(), still requires an object.

Please file an issue on github!

Siyfion · February 16, 2016, 4:18pm

Okay, in this particular instance it’s an issue with a package that has a GitHub repo, but what about other issues?

EDIT: And done, https://github.com/meteor/validated-method/issues/39

@Siyfion I think @sashko was referring to the github for the Guide itself. The 1.3 guide repo is here: https://github.com/meteor/guide/tree/version-1.3

Whoops! My bad! I’m glad to see it has a repo though, that’s exactly what I was looking for.

This works great for migrating browserify.js global exports to 1.3 as well

Not to beat a dead horse but one of the pros with using imports is seeing where that module is defined and how many dependancies a certain module has (if you’re importing a lot in one file it could be a code smell).

Has anyone listened to transmission #6? It only says that there were 35 clicks on Ben’s link, unless simplecast’s stats say otherwise?

tomRedox · February 17, 2016, 2:42pm

I have, it was great! I’m subscribed to the podcast feed, so I didn’t need to click Ben’s link.

…iTunes Podcast…

Show 6 has hit some new records for us. After about 42 hours of release there has been 1,326 listens on show 6’s podcast.

lai · February 17, 2016, 5:12pm

I was just curious because there just didn’t seem to be a whole lot of feedback here. :shrug:

Stan · February 17, 2016, 5:18pm

Feedback - can you put the shownotes in the podcast feed so I don’t have to Google for the episode on your blog to get to the links.

Not listened to this one yet, I’ve got 24hours worth of podcasts in my feed, I can never catch up ahhh.

goatic · February 17, 2016, 6:30pm

well, it’s a great show the increased involvement from the core devs is really bridging the gap that’s been between Meteor as an organization and the community! really awesome

hwillson · February 17, 2016, 6:51pm

Show #6 was excellent - awesome to witness @debergalis’ foresight as always, and loved hearing from @benjamn (TC39 members are accepted for a reason - really glad he’s part of MDG!).

batist · February 17, 2016, 7:25pm

I’m stoked about more podcasts like this, keep them coming! (Would also love to hear more MDG people!)

dinos · February 17, 2016, 9:02pm

It’s a shame, that no one from apple is on the committee

hwillson · February 17, 2016, 9:05pm

Actually I believe Apple is involved. They’re listed as an Associate Member (but maybe not on TC39 directly - I’m not 100% sure).

dinos · February 17, 2016, 9:11pm

No, maybe in general, but not T39 (ECMA-262 - JavaScript) as far as I know. Ecma International itself does a lot more than JavaScript.

maartenbusstra · February 18, 2016, 3:27am

Super stoked @benstr

sashko · February 18, 2016, 7:48pm

Here’s the video y’all!

Should have subtitles produced in the next few days.
