Advanced tools
Politely waits to render an element until the browser has time to spare using window.requestIdleCallback(). Useful to create incrementally loading applications that don't block user interaction.
var polite = require('polite-element')
var html = require('bel')
var main = html`
<main>
${polite(renderBasic, renderFancy)()}
</main>
`
document.body.appendChild(main)
function renderBasic () {
return html`
<img alt="ms. floof" />
`
}
function renderFancy () {
return html`
<img src="https://cool-cat.pix/meow" alt="ms. floof" />
`
}
Create an initial element on load using renderBasic
. Once the browser is less
busy it will call the renderFancy
function to load a more complex
element. Always calls renderBasic
when run in Node.
$ npm install polite-element
