Production Ready? about observe-js

[rafaelw]

Hi Felix,

Using this project as a shim for Object.observe is exactly it's intent. It uses Object.observe if present and dirty-checks if not.

I'm not sure what qualifies are production-ready, but I expect this code to be fairly high-quality at this point.

Note that the API can and will likely change, so be careful when updating. Also, it's on my todo list to write better doc.

The key thing to understand is that if Object.observe is absent, you need to invoke:

Platform.performMicrotaskCheckpoint()

This will cause ALL open observers to dirty-check and deliver changes until there are no more. This matches the semantics of the Object.observe delivery phase as closely as possible.

Thanks for your reply! I have been using ChangeSummary for the past few days with a data binding library and they are working quite well together! (I looked at MDV too but it's too heavy for us)

So if this is not designed as a shim for Object.observe what is the best library out there for using as a shim?

I'm confused ... it says above (emphasis mine):
