Chrome 39 Beta: JS Generators, Animation Playback Control, and the WebApp Manifest
2014. október 9., csütörtök
Today’s Chrome
Beta
channel release includes new tools to make web application development simpler and more powerful. Unless otherwise noted, changes described below apply to Chrome for Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chrome OS.
JavaScript Generators
Writing asynchronous code in JavaScript can be
less than straightforward
. It often involves several nested functions and non-linear program execution, making it hard to develop, maintain and debug. This is such a common pain point for developers that they've given it a name: callback soup.
Starting today, Chrome Beta supports ES6 Generators. They allow developers to create iterators that pause their execution after yielding a value, and resume again when later invoked. This greatly simplifies the process of developing asynchronous code and reduces dependence on callback functions.
For additional information about Generators,
read more about them
or
see them in action
.
Web Animation Playback Control
Web Animations
is a powerful new API that unifies all of the animation APIs on the web. We shipped basic support in May with Chrome 36. In this release we've added playback control, with methods such as
play()
,
pause()
, and
reverse()
, and the ability to jump to a specific point in an animation's timeline. With our initial support, developers could create animations but not precisely control their playback. This next iteration enables
animations that can react in real time to user input
- as well as a variety of other creative uses.
Web Application Manifest
Previously when developers wanted to allow their web applications to be added to the home screen from Chrome for Android, they had to use a variety of
<meta>
and
<link>
tags to trigger this behavior and deliver relevant resources such as icons. Having this embedded in every page was not only repetitive, but was a waste of bandwidth and put
extra bits on the critical path
.
Starting in Chrome 39,
Manifests
provide a way to wrap metadata about a web application into a single file, reducing duplication. Developers seeking to enable "
add to homescreen
" can define a title, landing page, default orientation, and different icons depending on size and screen density. You can
see how it works today
, but stay tuned for more properties to be added in later releases.
Other updates in this release
The
Beacon API
enables developers to queue asynchronous network requests that will be sent, regardless of whether the user navigates to a new page
Scroll offsets (
scrollTop
,
scrollLeft
) now return high-precision fractional values in preparation for high-DPI support
XMLHttpRequest progress event properties
position
and
totalSize
are now deprecated in favor of the
loaded
and
total
properties
As always, visit
