in order to get the sort order of the language used in the user interface of your application, make sure to specify that language (and possibly some fallback languages) using the locales argument: console.log('ä'.localecompare('z', 'de')); // a negative value: in german, ä sorts before z console.log('ä'.localecompare('z', 'sv')); // a positive value: in swedish, ä sorts after z using options the results provided by localecompare() can be customized using the options argument: // in german, ä has a as the base letter console.log('ä'.localeco...
export - JavaScript
using the default export if we want to export a single value or to have a fallback value for your module, you could use a default export: // module "my-module.js" export default function cube(x) { return x * x * x; } then, in another script, it is straightforward to import the default export: import cube from './my-module.js'; console.log(cube(3)); // 27 using export from let's take an example where we have the following hierarchy: childmodule1.js: exporting myfunc...

Handling media support issues in web content - Web media technologies
topics we will examine fallbacks, baseline media formats, and error handling practices that will let your content work in as many situations as possible.
Media type and format guide: image, audio, and video content - Web media technologies
WebMediaFormats
handling media support issues in web content in this guide, we look at how to build web content that maximizes quality or performance while providing the broadest possible compatibility, by choosing media formats wisely, and offering fallbacks and alternate formats where it would be helpful.
Web media technologies
this includes recommendations for what formats to use for what kinds of content, best practices including how to provide fallbacks and how to prioritize media types, and also includes general browser support information for each media container and codec.

Graphic design for responsive sites - Progressive web apps (PWAs)
the downsides here are that css3 properties and svg don't work on old browsers such as ie6-8 (although polyfills are available, and you could build in fallbacks), and svg isn't suitable for high detail images, such as photographs.
Mobile first - Progressive web apps (PWAs)
when they are not supported, the <html> tag looks like this: <html class=" js no-rgba no-multiplebgs"> when these are present, we can serve alternative styling rules to provide sensible fallbacks using descendant selectors — see the following in my code.
<switch> - SVG: Scalable Vector Graphics
WebSVGElementswitch
the switch element will display the first of its child elements whose systemlanguage attribute matches the user's language, or the fallback element with no systemlanguage attribute if none of them match.
SVG fonts - SVG: Scalable Vector Graphics
this defines what should be displayed if a certain glyph is not found in the font and if there are no fallback mechanisms.
Using templates and slots - Web Components
so, if we want to add a slot into our trivial example, we could update our template's paragraph element like this: <p><slot name="my-text">my default text</slot></p> if the slot's content isn't defined when the element is included in the markup, or if the browser doesn't support slots, <my-paragraph> just contains the fallback content "my default text".
