6.4-backbone-exercises - Brent M Thomas

[Brent-M-Thomas]

• [x] Plan of attacks for each exercise
• [x] Pull Requests for each app named develop-a, develop-b, develop-c, develop-d
• [x] Remember to git checkout master between every app.
• [x] A deployed build to github pages for the CMS

Requirements

• [x] No JSHint warnings or errors
• [x] No JSCS warnings or errors

Normal Mode

• [x] Complete as many of the five apps as possible, copying code from previous assignments only when absolutely necessary (making sure you understand when you are copying or asking questions about each step).
• [x] Each exercise should have its own develop branch
• [x] a) Create a form for a person. It should have a first name, last name, address, and phone number. It should save the person to tiny-lasagna-server.
• [x] b) Create a "blog reading app", where you have a list of blog posts on the side and when you click on a post title, it opens that post in another view. Hint: which blog post is selected is "application state".
• [x] c) Create a bookmarking app where you can save URLs. It should have a form where you enter the URL, a title, and a "tag". There should be a list of all the URLs, as well as a list of all the tags (this should be generated dynamically from the link collection). When you click on a tag, the link list should show only those tags. Hint: which tag is selected is "application state", so could appear in your URL and/or have a view model to represent it. You can filter a collection with collection.filter(...), but be aware that it returns an array of models, not a new collection.
• [x] d) Create a complete blog CMS from scratch, allowing you to create, read, update, and delete blog posts.

Pull Request part A Pull Request part B Pull Request part C Pull Request part D Plan of Attack GH Pages

[rtablada]

Missing part C&D and a link to GH page for D (only run gh-page-deploy) for the develop-d branch since GH pages only allows one version at a time.

[Brent-M-Thomas]

@rtablada I can't figure out why my read route isn't working. the url changes, but the action doesn't fire so the page remains blank.

[rtablada]

@Brent-M-Thomas A, B, and C look good.

What questions do you have about D?

You'll want to check on https://rtablada.gitbooks.io/front-end-engineering-june-2015/content/backbone/common-views.html and https://rtablada.gitbooks.io/front-end-engineering-june-2015/content/backbone/common-router.html when looking at how to hook up the router and views.

[Brent-M-Thomas]

When I click on a link to a blog post the url changes, but it doesn't trigger the view. Same thing in the edit route. Do you know what I'm missing or doing wrong?

[rtablada]

@Brent-M-Thomas D is still missing some functionality, when you select the "New", "edit" or detail view, they should replace each other not stack one after another. It also looks like the sidebar list isn't listening for sync events on the collection, so when you edit or delete an item the changes don't show up until you refresh the page.

Check this for basic functionality of how part D should interact (don't worry about the nav style): http://tiy-lr-fee-2015-june.github.io/6.4-but-ember/#/exercise-d

[Brent-M-Thomas]

@rtablada I was afraid you were going to say that. I did that intentionally because I thought I was running out of time and just wanted to "check all the boxes" on the requirements instead of figuring out how to do something that wasn't technically a requirement.
