    • Caching Strategies / Performance
  • Dev Operations
    • Permissions

Build Systems

• More Performant (Sub 200ms Response Times)
• Simplify Execution
• Standardize Across Applications
• Implement Best Practices
  • Webpack 3
• Limit Technologies Used (Simplify Stack)

Automation

• Pick App with a simple Configuration
  • Either Content-Catalogue Client or Pilot
• Pick Automation Stack
  • Framework Docker
  • Virtualization Technologies
• Create Seed Data for Application
• Stand Up Development Environment using Automated Stack
  • Deploy Docker instance to Heroku, configure specific environment variable for that deployment
• Performance Reporting

Abstract React Components

• Create a shared Library of form Components
  What will it include:
  InputTextField - simple text web form field, data is always a string
  InputCurrencyField - A bootstrap styled field that has a leading badge and only accepts numerical values, [ $ ][___input_field___], data is a number
  SelectBoxField - simple system dropdown web form with options, data is a single value, either a string or number
  CheckboxListField - multiple checks within a single field category, data is removed and added to an array
  RadioListField - same as above but data can only be 1 value.
  DropdownBoxField - This is like the SelectBoxField but has the appearance of a Bootstrap styled dropdown menu, this is used more for filters in searching usually switches
  DatePicker - This could be sourced from another library but we should standardize interactions with it, allow us to require the same implementation across all apps
• Determine Deployment, Build Systems, Documentation
  • Documentation - [JSDoc] - build documents and host them using https://github.com/documentationjs/documentation#documentation to generate a serverside guide.
  • Build System - Webpack 3 - create development and production builds for testing
  • Deployment - Will use production build of library which will live in the core of the repo and will be what npm will use when the package is required.
• Tests
  • Will probably use Enzyme with Mocha for component testing (https://github.com/airbnb/enzyme)
• Semantic Version locking
  • standard 3 tier version number releasing, Major.Minor.Patch
• release with NPM Package (on a private account)
  • Sign up for NPM enterprise account
  • look into how credentials will be used to access private npm packages
  • test deployment on a Heroku hosted server.
