A Better API for the Resize Observer
- ResizeObserver, Mutation Observer, and Intersection Observers are more performant APIs than their older counterparts.
- To use an observer, create a new observer, do something with the observed changes via the observer function, observe a specific element, and optionally unobserve the element.
- Improvements can be made to the observer APIs like simplifying the way ResizeObserver code is written.
- Refactoring ResizeObserver code can involve encapsulating the observer creation and passing elements as parameters.
- Passing a callback function into resizeObserver can make it operate like an event listener for element resize events.
- ResizeObserver's observe method can take in an options object to determine what changes to observe.
- An optional event listener pattern can be implemented for ResizeObserver by emitting a custom event.
- Providing methods to unobserve and disconnect from observing elements adds flexibility to the observer usage.
- The article discusses an enhanced version of ResizeObserver by Splendid Labz and its features for observing multiple elements.
- The refactoring exercise aims to make code easier to use and maintain, emphasizing the importance of refactoring for improved code quality.
