Set modules to false in babel

Version 2 of webpack supports ES6 modules syntax natively, meaning you can use import and export without a tool like babel to handle this for you.

So when we config babel-preset-env we can set “modules” to false, instead of using babel to compiling then into other module type.

NodeJS poll phrase blocking logic

As mentioned in the NodeJS doc, in poll phrase, node will block when appropriate. This post will discuss the block conditions and why this phrase blocks as Node should perfom a non-blocking I/O operations.

There are several logics in libuv core.c

First is the uv_run function, which operates the process of entire event loop:

Hexo Asset Folders

In root’s _config.yml, set post_asset_folder to true:

1
post_asset_folder: true

When you create a new post, hexo will generate an asset folder with the same name as the post.

To include assets in markdown:

1
2
3
{% asset_path slug %}
{% asset_img slug [title] %}
{% asset_link slug [title] %}

Examples:

{% asset_img example.jpg This is an example image %}
{% asset_img "spaced asset.jpg" "spaced title" %}

babel-polyfill and babel-runtime

Use @babel/runtime when you don’t want to pollute global namespace(e.g. you are building a library).

Install @babel/plugin-transform-runtime as development dependency.

1
npm install --save-dev @babel/plugin-transform-runtime

Install @babel/runtime as a production dependency.

1
npm install --save @babel/runtime

Use @babel/polyfill for writing an app.
