Saturday's morning idea:
- since getComputedStyle return a new object every time, you do not want to
call this function multiple times.
- as a result, your code contains functions where you can give a reference
to the computed style of an element in addition to the element itself (ie:
cache parameters)
- let's figure out that you made a mistake somewhere in your code and gave a
reference to the wrong style object, how do you find this out?
If you've parentElement you can do sanity checks at the beginning of your
function:
if(elementStyle.parentElement != element) {
if("debug" in window) debugger;
elementStyle = getComputedStyle(element);
}
The only option now would be to call getComputedStyle again and comparing
all properties in the hope you find a difference. This is so slow you
couldn't even keep that sanity check in production. Since you're calling
getComputedStyle anyway, it cancels the effect of the cache.
