Discussion on: Building a Simple Virtual DOM from Scratch

[Kirill Vasiltsov]

Very good job. Thank you for a thorough guide!
Actually, there is a typo in your code within the post.

  const additionalPatches = [];
  for (const additionalVChild of newVChildren.slice(oldVChildren.length)) {
    additionalPatches.push($node => {
      $node.appendChild(render(newVChildren));
      return $node;
    });
  }

Inside the function that we put into additionalPatches we should render not the newVChildren but the additionalVChild.
This code appears in the first example in the explanation of diffChildren function.

You are a hero! Thanks for pointing that out! 🎉🎉🎉 I'll change it as soon as possible!

This typo is still in the article 😉
