About
These are shared AngularJS 1.7 (visual) components, that we can use throughout various projects. Exposes the ux patterns defined for kathondvla UI applications in this realtiemboard
Mind you that this git repository is not a single npm module, but a collection of many npm modules.

For UX-patterns developers ##

Use npm link ###

While developing new modules from inside an application, but inside this git repo, npm link is the way to go. That way, all your changes to either repositories will be visible instantly while rebuilding/repackaging your frontend application.
In ux-patterns
npm link

In your other project
npm link @kathondvla/ux-patterns

(This will make no changes to package.json, but only update nodemodules with a link to the proper repo, so if you npm install @kathondvla/ux-patterns again the link will be broken!)

Rules for adding to this repo ###

Every component (or small set of very closely related components) must be packaged as a single AngularJS module. Each AngularJS module must be one npm module! Every module exports the AngularJS module name!\ In ./index.js ```javascript const angular = require( 'angular' ) // obviously const moduleName = 'uxHeaderModule' // because we use it in 2 places const m = angular.module( moduleName ) m.component( 'uxHeaderBar', require( './uxHeaderBar' ) ) module.exports = moduleName // !!! ```
  • Every module MUST have a README.md where you explain each component's inputs ('s-' attributes + the data structure tey expect) and outputs (events + the data structure they will produce)
  • All component names must be prefixed!
  • All 'bindings' must start with s-\
In ./uxHeaderBar/index.js ```javascript class UxHeaderBarController {
constructor() {
    this.classVariable1 = ...
}

classMethod1( ... ) { } //for example an event handler
    }

   module.exports = {
                template: require('./template.html'),
                controllerAs: 'ctrl',
                bindings: {
                    sInputVar: '<'
                },
                controller: UxHeaderBarController
            }
   ```
All bindings should be one-way data bound (unless for extremely simple components)
We do this because: In any frontend application you should only package what you need in order to keep the downloaded js bundle small. If we start mixing up the module systems (npm & AngularJS), things become hard to understand. See how to use below
!

For UX-patterns users ##

How to use this repo in your own application ###

Each module will export its own Angular module name, so you only have to do:
/* readable and easy to understand */
const myApp = angular.module( "myAppName", [
    require( `@kathondvla/ux-patters/header-bar` ),
    require( `@kathondvla/ux-patters/footer-bar` )
  ] )

instead of
```javascript
/ DON'T DO THIS ! / require( @kathondvla/ux-patters/header-bar )
require( @kathondvla/ux-patters/footer-bar )
const myApp = angular.module( "myAppName",
'uxHeaderBar',
'uxFooterBar'
) ```
