Rough meeting notes:

Attendees: @chasen @justinbmeyer @Macrofig @marshallswain @matthewp @pYr0x

Discussed topics:

can-operate and can-symbol proposal:

Mixin-based can-define-stream:

  • Building mix-ins are tough: how do you define their interaction?
  • Idea: mix-ins you have to apply in a certain order
  • Idea: structure code to provide hooks for different steps
  • can-connect has the same issue with behaviors
    – It chooses the order based on the behaviors it knows

Smart merge:

  • Intelligently merges objects based on IDs
  • Use it by adding a can-connect behavior
  • Maybe this will be made part of super-map

steal-cache-bust issue:

  • Idea is that in production, in order to bust caches, query parameter is added when bundles are fetched
  • Problem: it has to be added as a config dependency in package.json; it becomes part of the main bundle; steal-cache-bust is only loaded after the main bundle; main bundle isn’t ever cache-busted
  • Idea: move the functionality into core as part of Steal’s mission to make it easy to do the right thing

can-connect-feathers & can-zone-storage:

  • Use the regular Feathers client library
  • Behaviors: maps the can-connect methods to Feathers methods
  • Session.current has all the session info and is observable
    – Import your model to access the global session data
    – Automatically updates based on log in/out
    – Awesome because you don’t need to pass the session data throughout all the parts of your app
  • Challenge: globals are SSR’s enemy
    – Solution: can-zone-storage makes the global session and SSR possible
