The world's worst #react project uses hundreds upon hundreds of lines of react-use-form spaghetti to do something that literally takes ~40 lines as a vanilla web component 🤦

Toot

Written by PetterOfCats on 2025-01-22 at 13:45

@sir_pepe I found an A tag that had no HREF but had an onclick event handler that compiled and constructed, on the fly, the protocol, host, path, added /somepage, and topped it off with the search params and sent you there. it was like 40 lines of code.

its really sad the way #webdev is going these days.

@PetterOfCats I once wrote something just like that! As a giant string for the HTML attribute onclick even. It was the only way to cram ANY custom behavior into a system for which my customer had lost the source code but which needed a patch when IE 8 went away. Fun times.
