Best Practices

TODO: add content hereThere are some great resources available on this topic already. Instead of duplicating all of them, here are some links to review.

• AngularJS Best Practices: I've Been Doing It Wrong! -- Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

However, it does makes sense reiterate some of the most relevant ideas as well as a few that apply to Pentaho-specific development.

• If you find yourself manipulating DOM in a controller, STOP!!! DOM manipulation should really only be done in Directives and possibly in Filters.
• Keep Filters lean and mean. They get executed many times and can become a performance issue.
• Use angular-supplied versions of common javascript/jquery methods/objects
  • $timeout instead of setTimeout
  • $window instead of window
  • $document instead of document
  • $http instead of $.ajax
• Get to know the Angular API, don't rely on jQuery
  • angular.copy
  • angular.element
  • angular.equals
  • angular.extend
  • angular.forEach
  • angular.fromJson
  • angular.identity
  • angular.isArray
  • angular.isDate
  • angular.isDefined
  • angular.isElement
  • angular.isFunction
  • angular.isNumber
  • angular.isObject
  • angular.isString
  • angular.isUndefined
  • angular.lowercase
  • angular.noop
  • angular.toJson
  • angular.uppercase
