TODO.md

Important

• Rendering test for collections contacts page - where is the html?
• Auto-run tests in dev mode
• move ALL framework code to a single folder to discourage students from modifying it
• use build targets e.g. dev and prod, cleanup dependencies

Nice to have / ideas

• Move sample pages to special URL so they can be retained but don't interfere with students apps
• Add basic security check https://www.npmjs.com/package/grunt-retire
• click and hold for buttons i.e. scrolling
• click, double click, click and hold events
• Separate stylesheets for layout/scaffolding and actual app

Notes

• App may need to separate init and start methods. app.start can't be called multiple times due to Backbone.history.start();

Useful links

• Similar boilerplate app https://github.com/jkat98/benm

Enhancement

• Webpack2
• Yarn - for deterministic build
• Better ES6 style support
• Better webpack config management
• jsdom to replace karma
• mocha + sinon + chai to replace jasmine
• postcss + autoprefixer to replace scss
• stylelint (css)
• Component based structure
• (Need wider discussion) (React or Backbone) + Redux? Should we even use redux? What do we want to achieve?
