Hi all, there were couple concerns yesterday about the API (some concrete, some vague), and we would like to resolve those as soon as possible. Here is the list of issues I got yesterday (I am sure there's more we didn't manage to cover):
Q. We need a way to set default locale (per context). Currently one can only read its value by constructing LocaleList without parameters. A. A global defaultLocale (attached to Globalization namespace) was proposed. I agree with the idea. Q. Move LocaleList parameter in all constructors to options parameter. A. This would help avoid putting "undefined" as first parameter if we are happy with the defaults. Q. API is too Java like. Use shorthand to invoke formatters. A. I would like to hear proposals on how to make it more JS like. Adding shorthand syntax is easy, but most of TC39 members were against having 2 ways of doing things first time we proposed it. Here is an example of current API in action - http://codepaste.appspot.com/show?id=592122&revid=589126 Q. We don't use option parameter like that in JS (see previous point for actual example) A. What is a proper way of passing variable list of parameters that lets you extend the list in the future in an easy way? All of the properites in the options object are optional (with some exceptions) Feel free to start a new email thread for hot topics. -- Nebojša Ćirić
