Draft.js Weekly 09/01/2017

Agenda Items:

• Intros

• Upcoming stuff:

  • WIP - Hack-a-month to support richer features in Draft.js (internal only please)
    • Big refactors are scary - how to approach this?
      • Taking lessons from React; incremental upgrade path
      • React had a good test suite; when you fix a bug, add a test
        • With Draft some parts are almost impossible to test
        • Put things behind a feature flag initially
        • Similar to getting Draft into comments
          • Did many experiments, took forever
          • bifurcate and some people get new, some people get old
          • obsessively look through flytrap
          • when things broke, people reported it
          • eventually it was not breaking so badly, could ship it
          • DOM Selection state is hard to test
      • Every feature we add would have a test
      • QA contractors

• Gaps in flow coverage could be good-first-bug issues

Action Items:

• Make some good-first-bug issues
  • for flow coverage
  • and unit tests
  • should we have a flow-typed directory
