Agenda: Holiday / WCUS scheduling
Slack Conversation
We agreed to cancel the #core-js meetings for December 11th (post-WCUS travel), December 25th (Christmas), and January 1st (New year). @aduth posted a cancellation notice here: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/12/04/javascript-weekly-chats-wordcamp-us-holiday-scheduling/
Agenda: Linting
Slack Conversation
A PR which extracts Gutenberg’s ESlint config to its own package by @gziolo has been merged. It’s set to be published to NPM as @wordpress/eslint-config. Publication is currently blocked by the 5.0 RC One of the final stages in the version release cycle, this version signals the potential to be a final release to the public. Also see alpha (beta). freeze, but is expected to land around contributor day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time. They are events where people get together to work on various areas of https://make.wordpress.org/ There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/contributor-day/ https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/. together with a post outlining revisions The WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published update. The revision system allows you to see what changes were made in each revision by dragging a slider (or using the Next/Previous buttons). The display indicates what has changed in each revision. to the JavaScript coding standards prepared by @aduth.
We also discussed how to manage custom eslint rules. Some linting rules might not be useful outside of the context of WordPress core Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. or Gutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/. We decided for now to go the same path as the Jest eslint package. For the time being we will have one package with multiple configs, which will allow consumers to select the configs they need.
Agenda: 5.0 Script Changes
Slack Conversation
With WordPress 5.0, a few vendor scripts (like lodash) are being included in core. For these scripts in particular, there is a chance for conflict A conflict occurs when a patch changes code that was modified after the patch was created. These patches are considered stale, and will require a refresh of the changes before it can be applied, or the conflicts will need to be resolved. if a plugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party or theme registers their own copy of the dependency with the same un-prefixed name. There is a greater likelihood if there is a large version mismatch between the registered scripts.
Different approaches to prevent this were discussed. @aduth is working on a devnote Each important change in WordPress Core is documented in a developers note, (usually called dev note). Good dev notes generally include a description of the change, the decision that led to this change, and a description of how developers are supposed to work with that change. Dev notes are published on Make/Core blog during the beta phase of WordPress release cycle. Publishing dev notes is particularly important when plugin/theme authors and WordPress developers need to be aware of those changes.In general, all dev notes are compiled into a Field Guide at the beginning of the release candidate phase. to help integrators prevent these kinds of conflicts from happening.
