- 18. 1. Model is the Truth! Model comes from the server Model comes from the server Controller manipulates it Controller manipulates it View displays it View displays it Need to update the view? Need to update the view? Update the Update the model!! model!!
- 19. Tabs in jQuery <ul class="tabs"> <li class="tab1 selected">Tab 1</li> <li class="tab2">Tab 2</li> </ul> <div class="tab1">Content for Tab 1</div> <div class="tab2">Content for Tab 2</div> Plus •Tab highlighting logic •Tab content logic •Not declarative!!

- 21. Tabs in AngularJS Or even better, do this: <tabs> <tab title=“My First Tab”>Tab 1 content here</tab> <tab title=“My Second Tab”>Tab 2 content here</tab> </tabs>
- 22. 2. Leverage Data-binding Why do this? <form id="my-form”> <input type="text" id="nameField”> <input type="email" id="emailField”> <button>Submit</button> </form> function setFormValues(userDetails) { $('#nameField').value(userDetails.name); $('#emailField').value(userDetails.email); } // GETTING ALSO… When you can do this? <form id="my-form”> <input type="text" id="nameField” ng-model="user.name”> <input type="email" id="emailField” ng-model="user.email”> <button>Submit</button> </form> $scope.user
- 23. 3. DOM Manipulation —> Directives Don’t do this in your controller $('#inputDate').datepicker(); $('#inputDate') .datepicker('getDate'); $('#inputDate') .datepicker('setDate’, '05/23/1975'); Instead, create a directive <input type="text” jqui-datepicker ng-model="startDate” date-format= "DD/mm/YYYY” on-select= ”dateSelected(date)”>
- 24. Lack of Lack of compiler compiler Prevent Prevent Regressions Regressions “4.) Test Early, Test Often, and Keep testing” Reduce manual Reduce manual labor, increase labor, increase turnaround turnaround –Some Wise Guru Specification for Specification for the code the code
- 25. 5.) Separate Biz. Logic vs Presentation logic Prez. Logic —> Controllers Biz. Logic —> Services • • • • • • how should I fetch data from the server? how do I delete an email? should I allow this action to take place? how should data be cached? should data be returned from my local cache or the server? is this data valid? • • • • making the right service calls to fetch data needed for the view responding to user actions (such as clicks, selections, etc.) modifying the Model (through the scope) to correctly display elements putting the data in the right place for the view to render itself
