Orren's Bootcamp

Goals for this week (assignment 3):

  • add product panel
  • retrieve product data
  • retrieve review data
  • add to cart in local storage

Strategy

  • implement getOrFetch on Backbone.Collection to retrieve product data if not already retrieved
  • render product panel entirely on client side
  • model cart as a Collection of cart item Models
  • use Backbone.localStorage adapter for cart

Issues

  • create a jsdom.window for each page rendered to asure thread safe behavior
  • ended up implementing custom carousel for product media, off the shelf versions lacked documentation
  • add to cart button gold gradient is time consuming
  • clean up view model definition
  • clean up view event specification

Goals for this week (assignment 2):

  • fully render page on server for SEO compliance
  • use the same Bootstrap Models/Views/Events on server and client

Strategy

  • Use Node to create server and dynamically retrieve data as needed
  • Use jQuery / Jsdom to render content on the server
  • Use Bootstrap Models to maintain the data
  • Use Bootstrap Views to render the page on the server
  • Use Bootstrap Events to coordinate updates on Views and Models
  • use RequireJS to manage the various Bootstrap components
  • use RequireJS' r.js utility to minify/rollup Javascript

Challenges

  • Jsdom on the serverside converts SGML entities into UTF8 characters but doesn't convert them back when serializing the DOM for output to the client
  • JQuery automatically processes SCRIPT tags
