[WebERP-developers] About MiscFunctions.js

[Rafael C. <raf...@gm...>]

Hi,

Recently, I updated the file MiscFunctions.js. I added comments and improve
the format. Now it is more easy to understand the code.

But it has a big disadvantage: Each html page generated by the webERP loads
that file through ~/includes/header.inc. That is: if we add comments and
reformat the code to make it very easy to understand, we increase the
traffic of that file to about 239% (more comments and spaces in formatting
code).

Someone say me that he prefers a minimum file size to prioritise the
principle "low footprint" (absolutely minimal network traffic) over to
"easily readable", because this file is modified infrequently. That is: to
have a MiscFunctions.js without comments (explanations) and put them in the
manual. Also, to remove the spacing for easy reading.

I agree. But, if we are strict, that "minimising" principle should apply to
all JavaScript, CSS and HTML code.

Comments? Opinions?

Best regards, Rafael.
