Reviewed the technical contents. I have made changes to the code snippets, (for consistency and TypeScript support).

@sofietoft I have left a comment about the extra anchor tags.

From a technical perspective, I am happy with these changes.

Thank you @bszyman for the herculean effort you've put into this! 💪 #h5yr

Thanks for the PR @bszyman !

I've reviewed the article, adding a few suggestions here and there.
Let me know if something doesn't make sense.

Also, calling them "fly-out" menus - is that something you have discussed in the community docs team? To my knowledge, we haven't called the menus this before, and I just want to make sure we keep it consistent throughout the repository.

@sofietoft - Thanks for your review and feedback! All excellent suggestions!

I committed all of them, and tweaked the sentence around the this.args statement near line 86 to be clearer. Good catch!

Much, much appreciated.

I'll merge it 🎉
