This commit introduces Tools.html and Tools.plural, helper functions
for string construction.
Tools.html is a template tag function that escapes HTML inside the
template string.
Tools.plural is a helper function that takes a passed Number, Array,
Set, or Map and returns a string representing whether or not it's
plural.
It also starts doing some refactors of some files to make it clear how
I expect code style for template strings to look.
Previously, we used ' for IDs, " for English text, and ' for code.
We should now be using ' for IDs, ` for English text, and ` for code.
Now that nodejs/node#3072 is mostly fixed, we can finally start using
Node 4+ features.
This refactor:
- uses arrow functions where appropriate
Note that arrow functions still aren't used in Mocha, where `this`
is sometimes meaningful.
This also removes the need for .bind() nearly everywhere, as well
as the `self = this` trick.
- refactors Validator and Connection into ES6 classes
- no longer uses Array#forEach for iterating arrays
We strongly prefer for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) because of
performance reasons. Most forEaches have been replaced with for..of,
though, which is 5x slower than the long-form loop but 2x faster
than forEach, which is good enough outside of most inner loops.
The only exception is tournaments, which is due for a more invasive
refactor soon anyway.
This is a huge refactor that's a half-scratch rewrite of simulator.js.
Everything seems to be working so far, but with such a huge change,
I wouldn't be surprised if something went wrong.
One day, we'll convert all our files, but for now I'm just doing
this one as an example. I chose this one specifically because
it's reasonably small and pretty modern.
While I'm at it, I also improved the commenting a bit.
JSHint's ES6 support is shaky, and its development has stalled as of late.
Since ESLint can do by itself both JSHint and JSCS' jobs, this commit replaces them.
Gulp and its related dependencies are also hereby removed.
This initial local ladder support is really basic. Just Elo/W/L/T in
.tsv files. No support for /rank yet.
Servers are encouraged to write and share their own ladder
implementations. The protocol is designed to allow basically any kind
of ladder you want.
