Case in Point Regarding Naming Anonymous Functions
Needed to optimize a new feature on an old YUI site:
After running the YUI source through a couple find-and-replaces, I got this:
And the problem was obviously a bad implementation and usage of getElementsByClassName.
The patterns:
| Pattern | Replacement |
|---|---|
| ([A-Za-z0-9]+) = function | $1 = function _$1 |
| ([A-Za-z0-9]+): function | $1: function _$1 |
Edit: posted at the same time on Ajaxian.
Edit 2: Obvious those regular expressions could just be ([A-Za-z0-9]+)(\s*[:=]) function to be replaced with $1$2 function _$1
