• Syncing Local PouchDB Data With Remote IBM Cloudant Database In Angular 2.4.1

  Posted on Jan 14, 2017 at 8:11 AM

  Seriously, you are adding a ton of value to the ecosystem with these Auth0/pouchdb posts Ben. I am planning to implement a mobile app using Ionic 2, and the docs from Auth0 are maddening. Either things are out of date, or there's little typescript support, or things just don't work when trying to do... read more »

  Hey Ben. I needed to add a small polyfill to get this working in IE11: http://stackoverflow.com/a/26596324/571237 I saw your comment about IE in the code, but without this IE would barf when creating the custom event.... read more »

  Posted on Sep 22, 2016 at 8:05 AM

  Any idea what changed to cause this problem? We're just starting to use ELK for ingesting logs ourselves, so I'd be curious to know.... read more »

• ChangeDetectorRef Is A Special Dependency In Angular 2 RC 3

  Posted on Jun 30, 2016 at 8:40 AM

  You should include more of this reasoning in your posts: " Imagine having some massive data-grid component that was change intensive. Then, imagine being able to arbitrarily detach it based on the calling context." I find understanding the problem someone was solving really helps me unde... read more »

• Creating Specialized HTTP Clients In Angular 2 Beta 8

  Posted on Mar 15, 2016 at 9:52 AM

  @Cristovao, I really hope Ben's doesn't mind that I did this, but I just published an article where I convert this specific example to Typescript. If you want to check it out it's available here: https://blog.sstorie.com/adapting-ben-nadels-apigateway-to-pure-typescript/ @BenNadel, if you are n... read more »

• Converting A Subject To An Observable Using RxJS In Angular 2

  Posted on Mar 15, 2016 at 6:56 AM

  It's interesting to read your perspective on this kind of thing because coming from .NET it's common to expose implementation types as interfaces that hide what functionality is available. So if you had a private Subject instance you could simply expose it as an IObservable type (I'm paraphrasing a ... read more »

• Synchronizing Magnetic Poetry With Firebase, AngularJS, And Redux

  Posted on Jan 8, 2016 at 12:45 PM

  @Ben, No, I appreciate the comments. My question about Angular might reflect my inexperience with React, but I was thinking that Angular provides things like services to help manage state across different parts of an application. There's also the two-way binding that seems to conflict on some level... read more »

• Synchronizing Magnetic Poetry With Firebase, AngularJS, And Redux

  Posted on Jan 8, 2016 at 9:55 AM

  Thanks for writing this up Ben. I really appreciate how you include your thinking behind some of your decisions. For example, I decided to try to use immutable.js despite having some of the same thoughts you did, i.e. what value is this adding? Or, when someone on my team asks me "why?" ca... read more »

• Synchronizing Magnetic Poetry With Firebase And AngularJS (Without Redux)

  Posted on Dec 28, 2015 at 10:34 AM

  You're not alone in this confusion. I finally settled into a codebase that uses redux with ng-redux and am happy with the results so far. However, it seems pretty confusing for simple applications, so I'm holding out hope that it will really pay off as the complexity grows.... read more »
