Day 25: Review

Topics

JavaScript

• Hoisting - Function and variable declarations are always hoisted to the top of their containing scope by the JavaScript interpreter. Variable assignments are not hoisted.
• Function Declarations vs Function Expressions - A quick overview of hoisting with examples
• Scoping and Hoisting - A more in-depth look at scoping and hoisting

So this:

function foo() {
  bar();
  var x = 1;
}

Is interpreted as:

function foo() {
  var x;
  bar();
  x = 1;
}

AngularJS

• controllerAs
• resolve
• Factories
• Custom Directives
  • Default use is as attribute or element (as of Angular 1.3)
  • bindToController - binds isolate scope properties to controller for use with controllerAs syntax
• Style
  • Function declarations over function expressions
  • activate() functions for resolving start-up logic for a controller
  • Bindable / Accessible members up top

Homework

Continue working on refactor of Meganote. If you need to start from a fresh copy, the repo in its current state can be cloned here
