Hi Carlos,
I do not think you are considering all of the scenarios in your proposed
code. I'm sad that I have to delineate them again, but I will try.
1) In Basic there are two sets of strings: The fixed set from typeNames
that should "never" change. And the className set from the user that can
not only add, but also remove a set of HTML classes.
2) In MDL and I guess Jewel, there is a third set. They are tied to
properties like you said. "fab" and "primary", and things like that.
3) For PAYG reasons, it would be great if Basic did not have to
contemplate the third set.
4) For PAYG reasons, it would be nice if Basic did not have to assume
conversion to array and call split(). The current code in the develop
branch lets the browser do the split() in native code.
Then, as a performance consideration, Harbs claims that changing classList
is expensive.
So, your proposed solution MUST allow the user to delete/remove any
strings they added without removing strings added from typeNames or from
the "fab"/"primary" properties. And allow add/remove of the user's
strings before or after changing properties like "fab" and "primary".
Show us how that will work. I'm pretty sure it is possible. Then we will
debate the performance aspects.
Thanks,
-Alex
