🦉 Config 🦉

The Owl framework is designed to work in many situations. However, it is sometimes necessary to customize some behaviour. This is done by using the global config object. It currently has one key:

• mode.

Mode

By default, Owl is in production mode, this means that it will try to do its job fast, and skip some expensive operations. However, it is sometimes necessary to have better information on what is going on, this is the purpose of the dev mode.

Owl has a mode flag, in owl.config.mode. Its default value is prod, but it can be set to dev:

owl.config.mode = "dev";

Note that templates compiled with the prod settings will not be recompiled. So, changing this setting is best done at startup.

An important job done by the dev mode is to validate props for each component creation and update. Also, extra props will cause an error.
