<id>http://learnflight.io/blog/2014/03/13/how-to-integrate-flight-into-an-existing-javascript-application</id>
<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>One of the best things about Flight is that it plays well with exisiting apps. This means that you don’t need to migrate your whole app at once.
Because flight components can’t communicate directly with the outside world, you can gradually migrate new components without affecting the rest of the application.</p>
<p>For this example we are going to use a Color Raffle application, this app consists of three basic parts:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Raffle button:</strong> Picks a random color whenever it is clicked.</li>
<li><strong>Color Stats:</strong> Each of the color stats will update everytime that given color comes out of the raffle.</li>
<li><strong>History:</strong> Every time a color is selected, it will be added to the history wall.</li>
</ol>
<p>NOTE: We will not go through the process <a href="https://github.com/flightjs/flight#installation">setting up Flight and its depencencies</a>, but it is a really easy process. For simplicity we are going to use the Flight <a href="https://github.com/flightjs/flight#standalone-version">standalone</a> version.</p>

<!-- more -->
<p>Intentionally, we use a really badly structured JavaScript app. An easy way to start integrating flight is to select one of the three components mentioned above (Raffle button, Color Stats and History) and convert it into a Flight component.</p>

<p>Great! But how are we going to wire them together? This is the easiest part, we simply want to trigger an event every time the raffle button is clicked.
So, lets replace the call to <code>updateColorStat</code> and trigger an event, <a href="https://blog.twitter.com/2013/flight-at-tweetdeck">see Flight events naming conventions</a>, <code>uiColorSelected</code> and remove updateColorStat.</p>

<p>So, what have we achieved? We have divided the responsibilities across different components that are completely decoupled from each other. Scaling this app is now easier and more maintainable due to the modular nature of Flight.</p>
<p>The three components are UI components, but in the next post we are going to see how to extract a data component that handles all the data logic and provide it to the ui components.</p>

<id>http://learnflight.io/blog/2013/10/01/testing-a-flight-data-component</id>
<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Testing components in Flight is damn fun. This is because, by nature, they are fully encapsulated and decoupled from the rest of your application.</p>
<p>As of today the best way of testing Flight is with <a href="https://github.com/flightjs/jasmine-flight">jasmine-flight</a> or <a href="https://github.com/flightjs/mocha-flight">mocha-flight</a>, which are extensions to Jasmine and Mocha respectively.</p>
<p>For this post we are going to use a really simple to-do app. A to-do app will generally need a component that handles the data, which has the responsibility of adding/removing items, and notifying other components about that.</p>
<h2>Flight testing principles (optional)</h2>
<p>Flight components communicate via events, so we are going focus on testing only events and not the methods inside the component.</p>
<p>Here is a general rule of thumb for testing a Flight component.</p>
<!-- more -->
<h4>Do test</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Event listeners</strong>: Any event that the component is listening to.</li>
<li><strong>Event triggers</strong>: Any event that the component can trigger.</li>
<li><strong>defaultAttrs</strong>: Customization via defaultAttrs.</li>
<li><strong>Initialization</strong>: Special events that are triggered after initialization.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Don’t test</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Methods</strong>: The internal methods that are called when listening or triggering events.</li>
<li><strong>Internal state</strong>: Any component state that is not part of the <code>this.attr</code> property.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Setup</h3>
<p>In this case we are going to be using jasmine-flight, you might want to go and <a href="https://github.com/flightjs/jasmine-flight#getting-started">set it up</a>.</p>
<h2>Testing data components</h2>
<p>Some important things to remember about data components are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Don’t test anything related with the DOM.</li>
<li>They shouldn’t know about the UI structure.</li>
</ul>
<p>We have a <code>data/items.js</code> which simulates a backend, it adds/removes to-do items and serves them.</p>
<p>This components is basically doing three things.</p>
<ul>
<li>Listens to the <code>uiNewItemAction</code> event, adds the new item to the list and triggers <code>dataItems</code> to notify that the items were updated.</li>
<li>Listens to the <code>uiRemoveItemAction</code> event, removes the selected item from the list and triggers <code>dataItems</code> to notify that the items were updated.</li>
<li>Triggers the <code>dataItems</code> after initialization to notify components about the initial to-do items.</li>
</ul>
<p>For the sake of simplicity we are going to save the to-do items in an array, but our tests will never know about that, so we can modify it to save on local-storage or in the backend without altering the tests too much.</p>
<p><em>NOTE: For a more robust storage component see <a href="https://github.com/cameronhunter/flight-storage">flight-storage</a>.</em></p>

<p><a href="https://github.com/flightjs/jasmine-flight#event-spy">spyOnEvent</a> works for events in the same way that Jasmine’s <a href="http://pivotal.github.io/jasmine/#section-Spies">spyOn</a> works for functions.</p>
<p><a href="https://github.com/flightjs/jasmine-flight#setupcomponent">setupComponent</a> creates an instance of the component, it also sets the instance to <code>this.component</code>. You can pass an object to <code>setupComponent</code> and it will be set as the <code>defaultAttrs</code>.</p>
<p>For this test we are spying on the event that we expect to be triggered, instantiating the components and making sure that the event was triggered with the appropriate data (the items in the to-do list).</p>

<p>This test makes sure that the user is able to successfully add new items to the list. We are going to be sharing the call to <code>setupComponent</code> for both tests.</p>
<p>For this test we are spying on the <code>dataItems</code> event and expecting it to be triggered with the two original items (item 1, item 2) and the “new item” after the <code>uiNewItemAction</code> event is triggered.</p>

<p>This test is opposite of the previous one, it test the removal of items from the list.</p>
<h1>Conclusion</h1>
<p>Note how we never tested any method inside the component; we don’t know anything about its internal structure. This makes refactoring the internals really simple, because no test is bounded to implementation. Actually we don’t even know or care where the items are being saved, they might be saved on localStorage, cookies, in-memory, etc.</p>

<id>http://learnflight.io/blog/2013/09/18/how-to-create-a-menu-with-flight-dot-js</id>
<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>We are going to create a simple navigation menu with <a href="http://flightjs.github.io/">Flight.js</a>. The purpose of this post is to illustrate a practical Flight.js example. Here are the <a href="https://github.com/flightjs/flight/tree/master/doc">docs</a> and the <a href="https://github.com/flightjs/flight">github page</a> if you want to check them out.</p>

<h2>Initial Setup</h2>
<p>We need to setup some boring stuff to be sure that we all have the same beginning state. The fun stuff starts in the next section.</p>
<p>Before we start be sure to have installed <a href="https://npmjs.org/">npm</a> and <a href="http://bower.io/">bower</a>. Lets create a new folder for our project. Inside our folder lets setup our project. We are going to use the <a href="https://github.com/flightjs/generator-flight">generator-flight</a> yeoman generator to create the basic scaffold for our application.</p>
<p>This will install the appropiate yeoman generator and now we can create our app.</p>
<figure class='code'> <div class="highlight"><table><tr><td class="gutter"><pre class="line-numbers"><span class='line-number'>1</span>
<span class='line-number'>2</span>
</pre></td><td class='code'><pre><code class='bash'><span class='line'><span class="c"># might need sudo</span>
</span><span class='line'>npm install -g generator-flight
</span></code></pre></td></tr></table></div></figure>
<figure class='code'> <div class="highlight"><table><tr><td class="gutter"><pre class="line-numbers"><span class='line-number'>1</span>

</span><span class='line'>yo flight
</span></code></pre></td></tr></table></div></figure>
<p>Once we have the basic scaffold we can add some markup and styles</p>

<h2>Create the components</h2>
<p>Now we can start creating our components. In this case we are going to create
three of them.</p>
<ul>
<li>One for the <em>menu title</em>, another for the <em>menu content</em> and third one for <em>generating the data</em> that will be presented in the menu</li>
</ul>
<p>The first two components will be <strong>ui components</strong>, this means that we are going
to attach them to a DOM element and they will manipulate it.</p>
<p>The third component is a <strong>data component</strong>. This component doesn’t know about the DOM state or the menu.
It will only be generating the “backend” response with the appropiate content for
a given section.</p>
<p><strong>ui/menu_item.js</strong> This is the most complex component. It only knows about the menu title</p>
<ul>
<li>Listens to clicks on the <code>.menu-items</code> and triggers a <code>uiNeedsMenuSection</code>
event to notify that we need to change the menu section.</li>
<li>Listens to the <code>dataMenuSection</code> event sent from a data component, adds the appropiate class to highlight the <code>.menu-item</code></li>
</ul>
