Lab: Customizing the “Read More” Link in Beans
Video Runtime: 08:16
Let’s talk about UIKit. Right now in Beans 1.x, it’s baked into Beans. In Beans 2, we’ll provide it via a plugin. Let’s explore the button component and play around with different styling.
Before we do that though, I want to talk to you about developer costs and efficiency. I’ve become a UIKit advocate. Why? Because it’s an example of a third party dependency that delivers on:
- Reducing your time and costs.
- Lean – meaning it’s a small file to be downloaded to a person’s browser.
- Backed by a large FOSS community.
- The UIKit team keeps it up-to-date with the latest changes and innovations.
- The UIKit team tests it, fixes the bugs, and keeps it running smoothly. That means you don’t have to maintain that code. WooHoo!
- Scalable, fast, reusable, and mature.
As developers, we need to find 3rd party dependencies that add value, reduce our costs, and are fast, lean, scalable, and deliver results to our clients and projects. UIKit is one of those.
Your functions are bloated. Put them on a diet. Think "skinny" and "as few lines as possible."
