TOAST UI

Time zones and Summer Time have always been a mountain of issues and considerations for front end development.

It is always a crowd's favorite to ask questions like "how should one test private methods?" and "Should one test private methods?" on different communities, and I have long thought to organize my thoughts and to write a summary for such questions.

If you were to ask any developer which document format is the most preferred right now, the answer would unequivocally be Markdown. Currently, Markdown is being used with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and more as a default document format for most of the services including issue tracking. Furthermore, it is also integrated with almost all text editors like IntelliJ, VSCode, Vim, and Emacs, and plugins can be used to utilize syntax highlighting and preview features.

TOAST UI Editor is a document editing library built using JavaScript, and it offers two different modes of editors, Markdown and "What You See is What You Get" (WYSIWYG), for users to choose freely which mode is the more suitable option for different users.

If you are reading this, it may be safe to assume that you are a developer who has had an experience with writing an API documentation. Let's assume that someone told you to write API documentation for hundred functions. What kind of image comes to your mind?

The main purpose of this article is to introduce the readers to pragmatic information like how UI libraries are built, what the purpose and the features of the library are, and what kind of technology stack and webpack configurations were used.

Since the beginning, our main goal was to facilitate efficient data representation and convenient functionalities for you, our users. From the beginning of the year, we have been working hard to provide you with a faster and leaner product filled with convenient features. We have eliminated the unnecessary dependencies; enhanced the performance through the virtual DOM; and undertaken a massive task of improving the overall API. Finally, we are proud to present to you the more powerful and lighter TOAST UI Grid 4.0!

Currently, the TOAST UI Grid team is working diligently for the major update that is the release of the version 4. The purpose of this update is to rewrite all of the previous code base written with Backbone and jQuery from scratch. The team is expecting to decrease unnecessary dependency, making the new Grid to be leaner and faster than before.

Therefore, instead of discussing why we picked Vue, I would like to share what I learned from migrating from one framework to another. While AngularJS still has high retention rate, I assume that there are more groups in a similar predicament as we were. Although some of the content may be obvious, I hope that this article can be of help to others when migrating between frameworks.

React applications that use Redux often consist of action creators, reducers, container components, and the presentational components. Also, if the project calls for additional functionalities like local storage or network IO, middleware codes to implement said items are included as well.
