This repository functions as the basis of the quiz project in the Browsers module. Before the first group meeting, have a look through this code and try to understand how it works and how it is organised. We will explain the idea behind the structure below as well as the Backlog (which will identify what is needed to be implemented).
We have already implemented a very basic UI that can go through the questions to show you how this kind of code is split and how you can use the structure to your advantage. Have a look through it before your first group meeting as it can take a little while to get your head around it!
To run this project locally you will need to open index.html in your browser using a local server. LiveServer, http-server, study-lenses, or any other local static server will work.
There are no dependencies needed to run the website, everything is prepared to work with vanilla JavaScript. However, if you want to install prettier for this project then run (generally you always want to do this if you see a package.json file):
npm installInstead of writing all code in a single JavaScript file, we want you to split your code over several files. The structure of this project is explained in the next video
Let's run through the folders:
public
src
└── pages
└── views
└── app.js
└── constants.js
└── data.js
index.htmlpublic this contains the static files that can be used by our index.html filesrc this contains all of our JavaScript code
pages this folder contains our functions that handle user interactions. You can also see it as the code that processes and updates the data or DOM
it also contains our code that links up our handler code to the DOM.views this contains code to define what the DOM will look like. They will create the DOM element and give it back. They should never read from/write to the dom, that is what the pages do.app.js this file our initialisation code. Generally this code should only run once and starts the applicationdata.js this is our data model. Anything we need to store in the browser we place inside the data fileSo what should be built? Below is a collection of user stories you can choose from. Stories inside of each priority level are not necessarily in order, it's up to your group to decide how they fit into your strategy. These are also just suggestion, feel free to change them or create your own! Feel free to get creative.
Choose a desired end result at the start of the project. By choosing an existing example, the goal of the project will be clear to everyone in the team. Another benefit is that it will be easier to come up with the necessary tasks to create your quiz.

When you have chosen your goal, you can create tasks as issues on Github and assign them to team members. Tasks could look like this, using the MoSCoW labels for prioritization
