Discussed about challenging areas mentors proposed some solutions. Dimitris recommended to use the Joomla object and define the function in there (eg: Joomla.mediaField ) and also joomla has a native method similar to $.extend() in media/system/js/core.js

 

Supun asked what’s the use of 'use strict'  https://github.com/Supun94/gsoc17_js_tests/blob/media-infobar-nmm/media/system/js/fields/fielduser.js#L10 and more discussed about strict mode https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Strict_mode  ,  

 

2. Blog post improvements

Ruchiranga shared his last year blog (https://magazine.joomla.org/issues/issue-june-2016/item/3052-just-married-joomla-and-jasmine ) post and suggested to add more images and try to make the blog more interesting.

 

3. Other important things

Dimitris mentioned Joomla 4 wants to move the UI elements to web components, thus we started this: https://joomla-projects.github.io/custom-elements . Once all the other tasks are completed we have to review the tests there as well https://github.com/joomla-projects/custom-elements/blob/master/test/alert-test.html . It’s a vue app and need to review tests and added it in future task list https://github.com/joomla-projects/gsoc17_js_tests/issues/22 .

 

4. Tasks for next week

1. VanillaJS conversion :
