project 5 from udacity course.

I wanted to keep everything in a modular way. Which i had never done before. I had heard of require so i wanted to give it a go. Then i needed a way to couple view to module with knockout, which knockout-amd-helpers solve.

to run

• download project
• start local webserver from root, i used python -m http.server

to minify use

• npm install -g requirejs
• r.js -o build.js (everything is copied and some are merged as well), or r.js.cmd -o build.js
• start local webserver from dist to see it working with minified files as well

uses

• require
• knockout-amd-helpers (to be compatible with require and seperating code)
• json
• async
• conditionerjs (conditionally load modules)
• r.js (require way of minifying stuff)

doesn't use

• jquery (just wanted to try without, it doesn't make it easier though)

tested in

• ie 11
• chrome
• firefox

To make it even better, because it can always be better... sigh

• better error handling
• use kockout components instead of amd-helper
• set focus on onclick return to search
• find out to to know when all views have loaded so i can skip the settimeout in requireconfig for conditionerjs
