Technical requirements

The technical requirements for this chapter are very similar to those for Chapter 7. This chapter reuses the framework files that we saw in Chapter 7 with frontend components and interfaces. The sample application in the tests directory is also changed to showcase some of the frontend features. Locate the book’s repository at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Building-Your-Own-JavaScript-Framework, and continue to use the code in the chapter7 directory.

Follow the README.md instructions in the directory for available scripts. The sample app can be found in the tests/sample directory of the framework. When you start that application, it will be available on port 9000. You can open it with a browser using the http://localhost:9000/ URL. While you are jumping into exploring the chapter code base, it is recommended to use the debugging tools to trace how the elements come together. Refer to the Debugging section of Chapter 2 to configure a debuggable environment...
