Welcome to Syntax today. We got a show for you on hot new and underutilized a browser

API. This has been one that we've been sort of keeping a list of what's new in CSS,

JavaScript, whatnot, and then Scott went to Amsterdam a couple weeks ago and did a awesome talk with tons of really cool demos on on starting allow discrete scroll snap calc size

pop-over dialogue view transitions all kinds of really neat stuff and when I talk to

people about this type of stuff often a lot of people say I had no idea that was a thing it feels like I think everything we're talking about today is just CSS right?

Yeah well CSS and there is JavaScript involved and HTML.

Yeah, you're right.

It's the full gamut here, yeah.

All right, well, I'm pretty excited about it.

It's got some really cool demos, so tune in on YouTube or Spotify if you want to see the demos but

otherwise the audio will do just fine. My name is Wes developer from Canada. How you doing

today Scott? Hey I'm doing super good if you are utilizing any

new APIs that you haven't used before potentially with JavaScript you want to

make sure that you have your error exception handling and tracking service onto the fullest extent

so that way when you inevitably mess something up with one of these APIs or perhaps you're using

an API that isn't supported in a browser, it's throwing an error for somebody, you can be on top of it.

And to do that, you'll want to use a service like the incredible Century.

Yeah, actually, hold on, I'm not done the ad read yet. Century is a really good example of these

APIs because we're going to talk about the modal right and there's a method called

dot show modal and if that method is not in a browser you're going to get something near

century that says hey that show modal is not a you cannot call this method on
