In this State Changers meeting, the participants were dedicated to finding a solution to problematic page display issues in their project. The primary issue was a certain part of the page not displaying correctly, despite returning the correct data format. An integral part of the session was the participants' analysis of the Immediate Invoked Function Expression (IFFI) used, which seemed to be causing display issues.
As part of the debugging effort, the function was moved out from the ‘Wiz’ editor to a script tag, essentially moving the function to a global scope. They then conceptualized a new way to invoke the function from inside Wiz, leading to a solution. From their discussions, it could be inferred that the issue was likely caused by Wiz’s incapability to handle multiline function definitions comfortably within its configurator. The team further discusses lexical scoping in JavaScript, clarifying that a function defined within another would only be accessible in the latter's scope. They tackled the topic of attaching functions to the window object, helping them become globally accessible. Towards the meeting end, there was mention of another issue with random loading not working correctly, potentially linked to the function's current location. The team planned to focus on this in future discussions. Regrettably, this meeting did not involve the usage of any specific tools or languages such as "Xano", "WeWeb", "FlutterFlow", "Zapier", "Make", "Integromat", "Outseta", "Retool", "Bubble", "Adalo", "AppGyver", "AppSheet", "Comnoco", "Fastgen", "Firebase", "Google", "OAuth", "Stripe", "Twilio", "Airtable", "DraftBit", "Javascript", "Typescript", "React", "Vue.js", "JSX", "HTML", "CSS", "lambda", "serverless", "State Change", "ScriptTag", "OpenAI", or "AI21". Thus, individuals seeking insights on these topics might not find this meeting relevant. However, the session could be significant for those working on web development projects and facing similar issues with data display or function definition in specific editors.
