Passing named arguments to a directive’s callback

Imagine that you’re writing a directive to show a login form. This directive would also check your credentials and call an external function if they’re wrong. You could use it like follows :

<login-box on-fail="wizzle()"></login-box>

I’m sure you know how to implement a login form and a couple of HTTP requests. But do you know how to pass named arguments in your callback ? Let’s find out.

Visual regression tests with Travis CI and GitHub

I’ve been working hard on the n3-charts library, lately. For those who don’t know what it is, you can have a look [here] (spoiler : it’s a charting library for AngularJS apps). One thing that was really annoying was that each time I added a new feature or fixed a bug (wait, aren’t those the same thing ?), I had to manually copy the JavaScript file, check out the gh-pages branch where I have a bunch of examples, paste the JavaScript in the library JavaScript file, and check if I had unleashed the hounds of hell in my code. That was boring, and repetitive. Wait, isn’t that why we invented computers ? To handle boring and repetitive tasks ? Let’s automate this.

Five reasons you’ll use AngularJS for your next JavaScript project

[AngularJS] is a JavaScript framework built to run single page applications (more on that [here]). My opinion is that it’s the future of JavaScript, and here’s why in five short reasons.

Hello… sort of…

Hello. This is, I hope, the first of many posts about programming, writing, reading, experiencing things. I’m not sure exactly where this will lead me.
