[14:26:49] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <nolski> Hi all, is ES6 supported within mediawiki add-ons? I've been working on an addon but once I turned off debug mode and it began minifying my javascript code, I started seeing lots of syntax errors.
[14:27:15] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <nolski> I'm currently running mediawiki 1.33.0
[14:32:23] <Reedy>	 Also, that's an EOL version of MW
[14:33:22] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <Thecladis> did you write anything before that? (re @wmtelegram_bot: [irc] <Reedy> Also, that's an EOL version of MW)
[14:33:42] <Reedy>	 No, a conversation split between two IRC channels
[14:33:47] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <Thecladis> (there is nothing between Mike's messages and this one on tg side)
[14:33:57] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <Thecladis> oh
[14:34:35] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <lucaswerkmeister> no, not even all of ES5 is supportedIIRC. see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T75714 (re @nolski: Hi all, is ES6 supported within mediawiki add-ons? I've been working on an addon but once I turned off debug mode and it began minifying my javascript code, I started seeing lots of syntax errors.)
[14:35:15] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <lucaswerkmeister> no, not even all of ES5 is supported IIRC. see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T75714 (re @nolski: Hi all, is ES6 supported within mediawiki add-ons?

[14:35:28] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <Thecladis> yeah it sucks
[14:35:42] <Reedy>	 Tell people to stop using old browsers to browse Wikipedia then ;P
[14:36:22] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <Thecladis> well, having wikipedia break might be a good push to start using new browsers :P
[14:37:08] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <lucaswerkmeister> I’m always tempted to go “only [small x]% of requests come from Internet Explorer, surely we can drop support by now” before realizing that the share of Firefox is barely any higher
[14:37:46] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jhsoby> Major difference is that Firefox doesn't have nearly as many…quirks…as IE does (re @lucaswerkmeister: I’m always tempted to go “only [small x]% of requests come from Internet Explorer, surely we can drop support by now” before realizing that the share of Firefox is barely any higher)
[14:37:55] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <Thecladis> As Firefox chases to copy Chromium more and more I think in a few years we will only have Chromium
[14:38:47] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <Thecladis> (For instance the updated Firefox for Android sucks :( )
[14:39:07] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <silente08> Well, in my experience the most bugs are coming from Safari nowadays …
[14:39:42] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <Thecladis> oh true
[14:42:59] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <nolski> I asked this question in matrix as well which may or not may be bridged. I found adding /*@nomin*/ at the top of my js file a great workaround for my use case (re @lucaswerkmeister: no, not even all of ES5 is supported IIRC. see T75714)
[14:43:00] <stashbot>	 T75714: Allow ES6 syntax features in gadgets and other site-wide scripts - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T75714
[14:43:29] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <lucaswerkmeister> well, yes, that will bypass ResourceLoader’s minification
[14:49:30] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <Thecladis> Oh, I didn't know there were directives like this
[14:49:51] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <Thecladis> But I guess in this case one should use minification of their own
[15:08:44] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <Nikki> speaking of minification, is it possible to get common.js to include all the scripts it loads instead of needing separate requests for each one?
[15:13:00] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <Nikki> (by which I mean scripts loaded using mw.loader.load)
[15:13:45] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <lucaswerkmeister> mw.loader.load’s https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/js/#!/api/mw.loader says it can take an array of sources
[15:13:53] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <lucaswerkmeister> so you could rewrite your common.js to that form
[15:22:35] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <Nikki> and then it'll load them all as a single request? (probably answered by that link but I can't read it right now, I'm on my phone and it's helpfully being displayed ~1 word per line thanks to the sidebar -_-)
[15:28:13] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <lucaswerkmeister> I assume so (haven’t tried tbh)
[15:30:40] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <lucaswerkmeister> ah no, it looks like if you call it with an array then it needs to be a list of module names, not URLs
[15:31:05] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <lucaswerkmeister> ok, on second thought that does make sense, yeah
[15:31:08] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <Nikki> aww, that would've been perfect
