⚡️ Ideas for useful mixins

Presuming mixin functionality remains as we know it today… what are they most useful for? Can we think of any low level implementations like the Logger that would be useful in many projects?

Some inspiration:

• InternalLinker - handles the routing of internal views
• MouseTrap - maps mouse events to the app state
• WindowScroller - maps window scroll position to the state
• MediaPlayer - wraps native audio/video element state and actions
• FirebaseStore - connects to realtime db and emits stream events

There are no wrong answers here! Any responses that get many positive reactions will get added to the inspiration list above for others to make note.

📦 Bonus points for extra creative naming

I’m basically using mixins for these things:

1. share code across hyper app apps (we have one project on @attach-live that has 4-5 instances of HyperApp running in a single website, lol)
2. scope code by category (Similar to what router does, but for stuff like WebRTC and iframe management/postMessage)
3. generic logger functionality that I plug into every HyperApp project I have.

To reduce “spam” in my email inbox I unsubscribe from most threads. @mention me if you want to respond.

@lukejacksonn Good question! Let’s see what kind of response do you get.

By the way, mixins (formerly known as plugins) were introduced when we decided to decouple the previously built-in router from app.js into its own file.
