8:00 – 5:00 SR

• Deploying new FR, with debugging. Everything but the login works. Dong is perplexed.
• More Angular. Working on figuring out how to do complex directives. Huh. The secret is to understand that directives are static. And it turns out that factories are static too.
• I’ve got my test app now working with
  • a controller
  • a service
  • a directive (with link function)
  • a factory.
• Next, inheritance on all of the above.
  • Back to TypeScriptEssentials….
  • Modified the command line for the tsc compiler (under ‘watch’). It’s now tsc.cmd –declaration –noImplicitAny –target ES5 –sourcemap <filename>
  • Inheritance works like a charm. Classes with static functions (Factories and Directives) are a bit problematic, since there’s no ‘this’ to refer to. This means that functions are referred to by their fully qualified name (i.e. TestDirective.foo(), rather than this.foo()). Overloading can’t quite work the way that I’d like to. That being said, the static functions do come along for the ride, so as long as all the references are updated, everything works the way it should.

• DB backups
• Worked with Dong to install FR on the test server. The services still aren’t working. Maybe missing jar files?
• Status report
• More Angular
  • Tried making factories work but I got stuck trying to access the object’s this. Since they are structured differently but generally have the same functionality(ish), I tried configuring the TypeScript class as a service. That worked just fine – I was able to access public variables and functions through dependency injection.
  • Discovered that the ‘static’ keyword allows for directives to work with classes. THis might also be true for factories. The issue to work through is how the link function connects to the directive. Components like the scatterplot are big directives, and can’t be crammed into a single method in a class.
• Timesheet!
