ERROR in Maximum call stack size exceeded - the unsual kind

Wow.... who would've known that the next issue would be right at the corner so soon. 😁

I'm working on a markdown component, and I needed a list of colon emoji keys's (:smile:) to have simple overview for them 😄

While angular was running, I created this > file < nothing happened.

When I imported it...

ERROR in RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded happened

.... ok what ... why?!

Usually this error means, some module imported a different one which imported the previous one, which imported "the different"-one ... and so on.

Or it means just any methods called itself until the stack exceeded, but it wasn't a runtime error, it was a compiler error.

Ok. Weird.

What did I do before it... "just added a file"... right?

To make sure it is not a hiccup again, I restarted angular/typescript.

The error still happens.

Removed the file and its working again?!

Lets try to debug it again.

Added the file back and started angular in verbose mode.

ERROR in RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded
    at needsIndentation 
        function needsIndentation(parent, node1, node2) {
            parent = skipSynthesizedParentheses(parent);
            node1 = skipSynthesizedParentheses(node1);
            node2 = skipSynthesizedParentheses(node2);

Sadly I haven't took a deep-dive into typescript (yet), but today wouldn't be the day either 😁, but maybe there was already anything anywhere => searched for the first 2 lines, but I couldn't find anything useful.

Solution. 🎉

Use an array of strings and then just .join() them together. > Gist <
