DataflowDesignPatterns

There are obviously various many ways of documenting design patterns. We'd like to experiment with the most casual means of documenting them. The motivation being, we're hoping to grow the JDA ecosystem in such a way that they can be easily approachable by a community of non-programmers.

As the first experiment we'll try an FAQ format.

  1. My infotron depends on external Javascript libraries (i.e. Dojo, jQuery, etc...) How can I make sure that those are available to me from within the infotron?

other patterns on deck:

  • consolidating javascripts into one big file
  • embedding starter HTML within the infotron declaration
  • decorating starter HTML with meta data as configuration hints
  • fanning out to multiple infotrons
  • merging into one infotron
  • separating the GUI, UI constraint logic, and UI consequence
