— The tests for the lib are extensive :)
It is kind of funny because the lib can be used to run it's own tests... for instance it can diff objects that are returned against known correct data... I had it testing itself for awhile but decided to write simpler test-only versions of those algorithms so there was no dependency like that
— Just add some more. I spent 2 years building an algorithm cooperation framework so it's ready for a lot at once
— You could chain together hundreds of algorithms if you wanted... I originally was going to use promises to do this but decided instead on a more manual chaining method with direct calls, for more flexibility
— What like design?
— Entry method (gets run once at start) for filter, it runs the entry methods for clone and paths as an example:
entry: function (state) {
strategies.clone.entry(state);
strategies.paths.entry(state);
state.pendingPaths = [];
},
— I am not very interested in web design but I have 12 years of experience in it
— I can do it in my sleep- so it is not exciting
— I can crap out whole web apps and sites in like 5 mins... while on the toilet, hahaha
— So it's just boring
— Same thing to me, but I have made a few windowing systems
— Dialog boxes etc
