js.component: Taking 4D to the next level – Aparajita Fishman
4D has taken a lot of steps towards modernizing the language with v19, but there is other functionality that is taken for granted in the JavaScript world but missing in 4D — until now.
js.component a pure 4D component comprising 30 classes with over 400 functions that:
- Dramatically improves the developer experience
- Reduces method count, lines of code, and coding time
- Provides multiple, super-convenient ways of debugging code
- Fills in many holes in the 4D language
- Implements key object-oriented techniques that are mostly unknown in the 4D world
