Our approach to front-end development #29

Closed Bjwebb closed 8 years ago

Bjwebb commented 8 years ago

This probably won't say much, but should set out how we don't do very sophisticated frontend stuff atm - lots of bootstrap etc. The fact that we're using plain CSS + JS everywhere, and don't have any sort of transpilation (or for the most sort any sort of build) setup.

Our use of JS is generally fairly oldschool progressive enhancement (JQuery table sorters etc.).

We tend to use external CDNs for our dependencies, as it's easier, and people might have these cached. Might be worth setting out the advantages/disadvantages of this - I think mostly our setup is not the greatest, but it is simple - which works well as we're not heavily frontend.
