Bootstrap Native: Using Bootstrap Components without jQuery

/0 Comments/in /by

Original Source: https://www.sitepoint.com/use-bootstrap-components-without-jquery/

Do you use Bootstrap’s JavaScript components? Do you like Vanilla JavaScript? Then you might be interested in the Native JavaScript for Bootstrap project (Bootstrap Native), which aims to remove the jQuery dependency required by the components by porting them to plain JavaScript.

Why use Bootstrap Native?

The motivations of such a port are mostly related to performance.

One benefit is the potential performance gain that can come from the superior execution speed of plain JavaScript over jQuery, as reported in many benchmarks.

Another performance advantage is the reduced page weight. Let’s make a quick comparison. All the numbers below refer to minified gzipped files and are expressed in KBs. bootstrap.js refers to the original Bootstrap scripts, bsn.js to the Bootstrap Native scripts, and jq to jQuery. Here we’re looking at the bundled files that gather together all the components, but it should be noted that both libraries have a modular structure that allows the loading of only the needed components and their dependencies.

Bootstrap.js:

jQuery 3.3.1 + Bootstrap.js = 30.0 + 12.9 = 42.9
jQuery 3.1.0 slim + bootstrap.js = 23.6 + 12.9 = 36.5
jQuery 2.2.4 + bootstrap.js = 34.3 + 11.2 = 45.5
jQuery 1.12.4 + bootstrap.js = 38.8 + 11.2 = 50.0

Bootstrap Native JavaScript:

minifill + bsn.js = 2.4 + 7.8 = 10.2
polyfill.io(on chrome 54) + bsn.js = 1.1 + 7.8 = 8.9
polyfill.io(on IE 8) + bsn.js = 12.1 + 7.8 = 19.9

(The polyfill.io size for IE8 was taken from here. These polyfills are discussed in the next sections.)

So, with the Bootstrap components the size varies over the range 36.5 to 50.0 KB, while with Bootstrap Native the range shrinks to 8.9 to 19.9 KB.

Bootstrap Native Browser Support

Regarding browser support, it’s comparable to the original Bootstrap jQuery-based script. That is, it supports the latest browsers on the major mobile and desktop platforms and IE8+. This is accomplished by means of two polyfill strategies.

The first revolves around the use of the Polyfill.io service. All you have to do is insert the relative script tag in the document to get a set of polyfills tailored to each browser:

<script src=”https://cdn.polyfill.io/v2/polyfill.js”></script>

The service can be configured to customize its response based on the features really used on the site. See the Pollyfill.io documentation for details.

Alternatively, it’s possible to use minifill, a potentially lighter custom polyfill supplied by the project author itself.

Bootstrap Native Usage

The usage is similar to the original Bootstrap scripts, except we’ll remove jQuery, replace the Bootstrap scripts with the ones supplied by the Bootstrap Native project, and, if necessary, include the polyfills.

So, before the end </body> tag we include the script for the Bootstrap Native components:

[code language=”html”]
<script src=”https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap.native@2.0.15/dist/bootstrap-native-v4.min.js”></script>
[/code]

Other CDN URLs are available and listed on the Bootstrap Native documentation page. Alternatively, the file can be downloaded and served locally.

If the polyfills are needed, they should be included in the <head> tag:

[code language=”html”]
<script src=”text/javascript” src=”https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/thednp/minifill@0.0.4/dist/minifill.min.js”> </script>
<!–[if IE]>
<script src=”https://oss.maxcdn.com/html5shiv/3.7.2/html5shiv.min.js”></script>
<![endif]–>
[/code]

This snippet employs the minifill polyfill.

See the Bootstrap Native project documentation page for more detailed usage instructions.

A Port?

To be precise, it’s not a literal port that replicates all the features of the original scripts. The Bootstrap Native author deliberately chose to leave out some slight functionality, particularly lesser-used features, mainly for performance reasons and to simplify the development.

Let’s take a look at some of these issues.

The Custom Events

These are the events triggered by many Bootstrap components during their life cycle. For example, a Modal fires two events — one when it’s opened and the other when it’s closed. (Actually, two events are fired in each case, one before (‘show’) and the other (‘shown’) after the action.)
Similar events are employed by a Tab to notify its observers when there’s a tab switch: a hide event is dispatched for the current tab and a show event for the tab that has to be shown.

Bootstrap Native, instead, provides these events only for the Carousel and the Button. The original Carousel triggers a couple of custom events when there’s a transition between two slides. The first event, ‘slide’, is fired just before the transition begins, while the other one, ‘slid’, is fired after the transition has completed. The event object passed to the handlers has two properties that supply information about the transition, direction, and relatedTarget.

The following jQuery snippet illustrates:

[code language=”js”]
$carousel
.on(‘slide.bs.carousel’, function(e) {
var caption = $(e.relatedTarget).find(‘.carousel-caption’).text();
console.log(‘About to slide to the ‘ + e.direction + ‘ to slide ‘ + caption);
})
.on(‘slid.bs.carousel’, function(e) {
var caption = $(e.relatedTarget).find(‘.carousel-caption’).text();
console.log(‘Slid to the ‘ + e.direction + ‘ to slide ‘ + caption);
});
[/code]

Bootstrap Native supports both events, but the event object doesn’t have the direction and relatedTarget properties. We can translate the previous snippet into vanilla JS in this way:

[code language=”js”]
carousel.addEventListener(‘slide.bs.carousel’, function(e) {
console.log(‘About to slide’);
});

carousel.addEventListener(‘slid.bs.carousel’, function(e) {
console.log(‘Slid’);
});
[/code]

What about if we need the custom events for some other component? It’s not too difficult to implement them ourselves. We can refer to the Bootstrap Native Carousel code and use the CustomEvent API.

First create the event objects:

[code language=”js”]
if ((‘CustomEvent’ in window) && window.dispatchEvent) {
slid = new CustomEvent(“slid.bs.carousel”);
slide = new CustomEvent(“slide.bs.carousel”);
}
[/code]

When a slide transition is about to start, the ‘slide’ event is fired:

[code language=”js”]
if (slide) {
this.carousel.dispatchEvent(slide);
}
[/code]

And, finally, when the transition has finished, the ‘slid’ event is triggered:

[code language=”js”]
if (slid) {
self.carousel.dispatchEvent(slid);
}
[/code]

Based on this model, similar code can be easily added to other components.

The CustomEvent API is not readily available on every browser, but the aforementioned polyfills cover it.

5 Ways to Design Like a Dungeon Master

/0 Comments/in /by

Original Source: https://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2018/02/5-ways-to-design-like-a-dungeon-master/

Storytelling is great for design, so long as you aren’t trying to sell a fairy tale…

Do you tell your users a story about how you’ll save them from their troubles? It’s not very realistic, and users generally know this. You might try a different approach.

Once upon a time in the videogame industry, some game developers got tired of writing stories and quests into their games. So they made a bunch of sandbox-style games where the player could do almost anything they wanted. They just had to want to do it. The “story” would be formed in the player’s own mind, as they took actions and saw consequences in the game.

This was called “emergent storytelling”, and the game developers were very proud of themselves. But they didn’t invent it. Not at all. Emergent narratives have a long history, but were perhaps perfected by the “Game Masters” and “Dungeon Masters” of the tabletop roleplaying games, like Dungeons & Dragons.

There’s a lot we designers can learn from the experiences of Dungeon Masters.

The crash course: Remember when you were a kid playing pretend with others, and then one kid suddenly had a pretend gun, another had a pretend bazooka, and another a nuke? Roleplaying games are basically codified sets of rules that allow people to play pretend without that sort of instant escalation.

The Dungeon Master is a person who referees the game, enforces the rules, tells the story, and doles out consequences for actions. They’ve been telling stories for a long time, often with main characters who are stubborn, ignorant, and determined to break everything the DM might create.

Does that sound familiar to you? There’s a lot we designers can learn from the experiences of Dungeon Masters. They’re experts in both telling pre-planned stories with input from the players, and letting players tell their own stories altogether, and we need to learn both, too.

1. Make Your User the Main Character

Whether a DM has a specific story he wants to tell, or intends to let the player write their own, one thing remains mostly-constant. The player is the protagonist. They are not necessarily the hero, or the “chosen one”, but the protagonist. It is this perspective that allows players to quickly get invested in their character, and the world.

So much of the storytelling I see in web design would have you believe that the product they’re selling is the main character. Worse, sometimes they try to tell you that the website itself is somehow the protagonist of the story. To the Pit with that idea!

Your product is just a tool in their inventory, like a handy rope, or a +4 Vorpal Longsword. They’re the ones making things happen. Remember that, and do your best to play that role. Fight against your role, and they might see you as more of a cursed weapon, to be discarded and dismantled at their earliest convenience.

2. Players May Not Do What You Want

Writers have it easy-ish. They can make their characters do whatever they want, even when it doesn’t make a lot of sense for the character. (Sure, that’s bad writing, but whatever.) Dungeon Masters have to deal with real people playing characters who will do what they want, when they want. Yes, they can punish players for undesired behavior, but that’s a fast way to drive players to another game.

Users are pretty much the same. Learn to adapt to the way your users want to do things. Remember that even if you have a greater narrative going on, it’s still their story in the end. They won’t always be content to go from the Home page, to the Features page, to the Buy Now page every time, in that order. They will find their own path somehow, but it will be easier on both of you if you give them more than one.

3. Players Will Abuse Every System They Can

D&D players and users alike will eventually find the most efficient way to get something done…

A corollary for the point above is that D&D players and users alike will eventually find the most efficient way to get something done, and you may not like it. This is called “meta-gaming” and in D&D, it involves combining classes, special gear, and abilities to create characters that are far more powerful than they should be.

In using web sites or apps, it means that if users find a way to get what they want without jumping through any hoops you have set up, they’ll do it. And they’ll get annoyed if you take their shortcuts away.

4. Have a Big Plan Anyway

Good Dungeon Masters have stuff going on in their world. The players themselves may or may not decide to interact with all of the people and events around them, but “life” will go on. Usually, players will eventually come face to face with the big boss in any case, if only because that boss is bent on dominating the whole world anyway.

Unless your users leave your site altogether, they’re at least going to look at your prices and a big “Buy Me” button eventually. Just because some people won’t follow the plan doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have one. Most users are less obstinate than your average D&D player, and will be glad to have a quick and easy route to their goal.

5. Have Another Plan for When Things Really Break

In D&D, player’s characters can die, and they have to make new ones. In one campaign, a mistake the DM made allowed us to blow up an entire (alternate) plane of existence with most of us in it. Long story. Anyway, he was able to continue the story with new characters, and some fast adjustments to the main story between sessions. Long-time DMs learn to account for catastrophic turns of events like that one.

In web design, we don’t have the option to fix things between sessions, though. The story has to keep going, even if your players are on, say, an error page. If you’re going to use storytelling as a metaphor for your user experience design, then you need to use it everywhere. The story shouldn’t end just because a link went missing.

And with that, have fun. And happy adventuring!

5 tips for better typesetting

/0 Comments/in /by

Original Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CreativeBloq/~3/r6tTthQ-0b0/5-tips-for-better-typesetting

Typesetting – the business of putting text on a page – is one of those design disciplines that might look straightforward enough to the casual observer, but which is actually full of potential pitfalls. There's more to it than choosing a decent font pairing and hoping for the best.

The secrets of typesetting

Bad typesetting can be just as hard on the eye as an ill-considered palette or a poorly-executed logo design, and there's no way around it: you have to take your time learning the basics. If you follow these expert tips, though, you should find that the path to typesetting expertise becomes much easier to follow.

01. Take your time

"Getting typesetting right is something that will largely come with time," says Michelle Stocks of Nelson Bostock Unlimited. "So just keep practising, and don't get put off when it doesn't look good immediately. I recommend looking at a lot of inspiration too, because it helps you get an idea of what works well together."

02. Keep studying 

"First you need to learn the tools: font size, leading, tracking, horizontal and vertical scaling, paragraph styling, language settings and grid systems," says Maya Walters of Hogarth Worldwide. "Then you need to extend your knowledge: there's always something new to learn. Read a book on typography and set challenges for yourself to put your new skills into practice, such as working on a personal project."

03. Read books

For reading matter, Luke Tonge of LIFE suggests Type Matters! by Jim Williams and Thinking with Type by Ellen Lupton. And if you really want to treat yourself, he adds, The Visual History of Type by Paul McNeil is "the best book on type this year". 

04. Use online resources 

"There are countless online resources to help you improve your skills too," says Tonge. "They include ilovetypography.com, typographher.com, letterformarchive.org, typewolf.com and fontsinuse.com. Plus, on Twitter there are heaps of amazing foundries, magazines, designers, publications and organisations to follow, to further immerse yourself in the world of type." 

05. Clients come first

"Above all, find out about the client's needs when it comes to typesetting," says Walters. "Do they have guidelines and styles? If so, they should be made a prime consideration for the typography you create."
