Code Examples

Compliant code

The sourceMap files should only be used to debug production code but should not be included in the source code

(function() {
var greet, greetButton, person;
person = document.getElementById('person');
greet = function(greeting) {
return console.log(greeting + " " + person.value);
};
person.addEventListener("focus", function() {
return person.value = "";
});
greetButton = document.getElementById('greet');
greetButton.addEventListener("click", function() {
var greeting, helloOption;
helloOption = document.querySelector("#hello");
greeting = helloOption.checked ? "Hello" : "Goodbye";
return greet(greeting);
});
}).call(this);

Non compliant code

The source code includes direct access to SourceMap files

(function() {
var greet, greetButton, person;
person = document.getElementById('person');
greet = function(greeting) {
return console.log(greeting + " " + person.value);
};
person.addEventListener("focus", function() {
return person.value = "";
});
greetButton = document.getElementById('greet');
greetButton.addEventListener("click", function() {
var greeting, helloOption;
helloOption = document.querySelector("#hello");
greeting = helloOption.checked ? "Hello" : "Goodbye";
return greet(greeting);
});
}).call(this);
