Backlog of tasks

TODO

July 9 - ??

• Improve background loading with partial window loading. ** The current version reloads the complete window from the API if some cells are not yet loaded.
• Put in random delays in the API to test the performance in case of slow response from server.
• Implement some suggestions from code review.
• A developer demo that previews all the events the user can listen to.

?? - ??

• Write more unit tests for plugin.
• Allow custom styling for matrix.
• Use named methods to load styling information into the matrix.

Done

May 21-27

• Setup project source and wiki on github.
• Decided upon request and response for the server API.
• Decided upon configuration and use of the plugin.
• Researched about libraries to be used
• Setup the code repository
• Added few unit tests for validation of jMatrixBrowse

May 28-June3

• Generated matrix for testing according to API specifications
• First version: Gets matrix through mock Ajax API and displays using Zynga scroller
• Wrote more unit tests for the plugin
• Deployed demo page at http://pulkitgoyal.in/Demo/jMatrixBrowse/
• Changed directory structure as per code review.
• Check how to create the matrix so that loading doesn't take a lot of time.
• Run benchmarking on large (1000 x 1000) matrices.
• Document code
• Implement suggestions from first code review.

June 4-June 10

• Created a draggable area containing initial matrix content using jQuery UI draggable and without using Zynga Scroller (See Findings and Decisions:Week 3).
• Added event jMatrixBrowseChange triggered when new content is to be loaded.

June 10-June 24

• Did major refactoring of code.
• Researched about better background loading approaches.
• Wrote some more unit tests for testing basic loading.
• Added events for jMatrixBrowseClick to notify about the cell element that has been clicked.
• Updated wiki with details for all events.

June 25-July 2

• Fixed a bug with loading of matrix data.
• Wrote more unit tests.
• Decided on a background loading approach that loads the data in the background periodically until everything has been loaded.

July 3-July 8

• Map keyboard shortcuts (arrow keys, ctrl+arrow keys) for browsing.
• Option to snap row/columns. Snapping finds the element close to its top left corner and snaps it to the edge.
• Prevent dragging of matrix outside bounds.
• Small bug fixes.

July 9 - July 16

• A separate module for background loading that keeps loading matrix content into the DOM in the background. This content is then swapped into the matrix when new cells are required. ** Added configuration option to choose between three different strategies (See details about performance here).
• Implemented suggestions from code review.
• Updated the demo to 1000x1000 with randomly generated data.
• Mapped few more keyboard shortcuts for browsing.
