Even JSWizard Waldek doesn't go 100% OOP with his TS Todo example, Instead of creating a Class "Todo" with methods, he wraps "bad" non-OOP JS functional code in a "dataservice". Mind you, I don't have a problem with bad coding; I do have a problem (because I am bound to hire them) with 90% of "Developers" going to copy/paste these 'guru' patterns, not knowing wtf they are doing. | |

(or maybe it was just me in this group for the past 26 years) Bottom line is always: Can I do more than I could yesterday? The investment in this new Stack is huge (and don't forget you privileged MVPs - by Marketing Valued Persons have a huge head-start) After a week with SPFx half my whiteboard is full with arrows where we will probably cut corners, we will purposely deliver bad code because the investment in good code(rs) is just too huge at the moment. | |
