Crossroads.js: JavaScript Routes System

Crossroads.js can be used as a regular JS file creating a global crossroads variable, an AMD module which doesn’t generate any global variables and also as a CommonJS module. You can use the same distribution file for all the environments (since v0.6.0) . If pattern is a String it can contain named variables surrounded by "{}" that will be evaluated and passed to handlers as parameters. Each pattern segment is limited by the "/" char, so named variables will match anything until it finds a "/" char or the next string token located after the variable.

Disclaimer Outside of the 140bytes challenge or other code golf challenges, please be considerate and don’t pre-minify code you wish to share with others. We have minifiers for that. Since arguments will need to be as short as possible, and will likely be reused within their lifetime, it's best to treat them as positionals instead of trying to give them meaning through their name. While using one-letter names marginally aids readability for a single function, keeping a consistent approach helps readability across all functions. There are some functions which take no argument, and obviously you can reuse the parentheses when calling them.

Before proceeding, you’ll obviously want to go grab the updated libraries themselves. For the core jQuery library, I suggest using the minified version .

Home - Dark Patterns

Normally when you think of "bad design", you think of laziness or mistakes. These are known as design anti-patterns. Dark Patterns are different – they are not mistakes, they are carefully crafted with a solid understanding of human psychology, and they do not have the user’s interests in mind.

Smush.it uses optimization techniques specific to image format to remove unnecessary bytes from image files. It is a "lossless" tool, which means it optimizes the images without changing their look or visual quality. After Smush.it runs on a web page it reports how many bytes would be saved by optimizing the page's images and provides a downloadable zip file with the minimized image files. Do not link to the smushed images on Smushit.com since they will only be available there temporarily. Instead, download the zip file containing the smushed images for your web page and replace your image files with those files.
