![]() ![]() Its been over 21 months with Codekit since the original review, which is still accurate thus almost untouched. I’ve also continually added thoughts and notes at the end of this review. I haven’t seen any massive reviews on CodeKit 2 either, since its a niche market so I’ll try and make this the most definitive review written to date on CodeKit 2. I’ve blogged about Codekit 2 error resolutions which have been referenced on by people who aren’t me. While I may not be the foremost expert, I believe that I have some credentials to speak with some authority on pre-compilers and CodeKit specifically. Now that its been over two years down the chasm of Sass and a more varied workflow, I feel that I can expound in ways I couldn’t before. It would also create opportunities for variable shadowing and bugs that are insanely difficult to find.Quite some time ago I wrote a mini-review of Codekit 1.0 and then another review of Prepros. Admittedly I had only been using pre-compilers for several months at that time (what a difference a year makes). Doing so would be very unpredictable because JavaScript hoists variables to the top of the current scope. Why Can't I Just Import a File Anywhere?ĬodeKit allows you to add one JS file to the beginning or end of another, but does not allow you to import the contents of one file into the middle of another at a specific point. That said, it's a good idea to use ES6 Modules when you can, since that's a universal standard. Future-ProofĬodeKit will always support these special comments. ![]() The whole chain is then processed as one giant piece of JavaScript, whether you're syntax-checking, transpiling, or minifying. This is equally valid: // "jQuery.js", "otherFile.js" quiet ĬodeKit creates a chain of JS files based on your prepend/append statements and then simply combines the content of each file in that chain, in order. The keyword can appear anywhere on the special comment line and applies to all files on that line. Use the quiet keyword to automatically silence those issues: // quiet "jQuery.js" Sometimes, you don't want the syntax checker to warn you about issues in linked files. You can also combine multiple files at once with a comma-separated list: // "jQuery.js", "./otherFile.js" These comments let you prepend or append one JS file to another. ![]() Special comments in your JS files tell CodeKit how to combine them. If you don't want to use ES6 Modules (or you're working with a library that does not support them), CodeKit offers another, simpler way to combine JavaScript files. Make JS files smaller to reduce page-load time. Write next-generation JavaScript, then translate it back to the older standards that today's browsers understand. Use import statements to combine JS files (ES6 modules). Quickly find problems and enforce personal coding style-spaces not tabs!
