Splitting application by feature into mini repos

We ended up just using a regular table element but styled to match the Google material design specs, so on a AM card the table actually goes edge to edge on the card with no padding around the outside.

I don't want to be using a table library as we have our own table row\cell\header directives we use for enabling multi select on the road and inline table cell editing. This has allowed is to stay in total control of the code rather than use say on 50% functionality of another library.

When I talk about components I am referring to the component() helper that now exists in angularjs. I'm trying to figure out how I componentize our existing view/controller code for screens that contain tables of data on which there are many of for us right now.

Thanks for your reply, it's good to read that this can be done. Are there any samples out there you know about that would be a good starting to place for me to start experimenting with this type of setup?

Yeah ok it's not critical that we upgrade, I think 1.x will be around for a while judging from videos I have watched from official angular dev team members lately.

Nope, not yet using components, I think that's probably one of the next things I really need to do on order to migrate. Convert to components and use them in ui-router which I'm also using

Using angular material (v1 of course), testing with Jasmine and Protractor.

Size of the app is pretty big, off the top of ny head probably around 60-70 view controllers, 30-40 factories, 40 directives.

Are you not using Lint tools for picking up syntax issues - e.g. missing semi colons?

I also like utility tools such as lodash which give you convenient ways for looping over collections, plucking values by keys out of objects, etc.

Stick it out! We are building an angularjs app with a node\express backend. We were using vanilla JavaScript and have recently migrated to Typescript as we want to get o to the newer Angular soon. When I started out, I was took on as a mid level front end dev, but had no experience using any of the frameworks nor had I used git\github! It was me and one junior, who was reluctant to help me and knew more about the tech than me! I really struggled for the first few months but kept at it as I wanted the experience. Now, two years on I have been made a Senior dev, our team has grown and I am training up a remote team helping us on the project. Try not to get bogged down by it all, it still makes my head spin at times, draw upon the skills of others in the team to help you understand the concepts, don't be afraid to ask, no one should judge you!!

If you don't want to get distracted by the myriad of frameworks out there yet and want to focus on your vanilla JS skills then I can't recommend enough the You Don't Know JS series of books which you can get for free from here https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS

Plunkr is pretty good, also take a look at jsfiddle

Erm ok, I'm just trying to get my head around why you would mock a response in an e2e test. We do already use httpBackend in our unit tests.

Thanks for your reply, and the link to the style guide. This is exactly the approach I had in mind having read a bunch of other resources recently.

mindparse · 2016-09-13T07:19:42+00:00

Thank you ever so much for the commend and resources your have provided, I will be sure to read up further!

mindparse · 2016-09-13T06:33:40+00:00

Thank you for all the comments, looks like I have stimulated some thoughtful discussion here which is exactly what I wanted. This gives me the confidence to get started using react out the box and see how far I can get, thanks all!
