This project was built with Sencha ExtJS Framework. The purpose of it was to demonstrate how I resolved a particular task from Falcon as a part of an interview process.
As a preface, I did not have any previous experience in the technology until this assignment was given to me. I had to learn from scratch with the documentation provided by the organisation and my online research.
As requested I used Ext JS 6.5 and installed Sencha Cmd. The request was motivated as the new version has bugs.
Sencha ExtJS is a premium framework, and for this reason, I used an evaluation copy for 30dd
As described above, I had to learn the framework from scratch. I used for my research the documentation provided by the company plus YouTube, Google and StackOverFlow.
List of resources from Falcon:
- Sencha Cmd
- Sencha Cmd Smart Guide
- MVVM vs. MVC
- Sencha Guides, Guide2
- Grids and renderer method
- Examples & Kitchensink Classic, examples
Along side the task was provided the next material:
- The document contains the task specification
- 3 files CSV under the folder
CSV/FromFalcon
I resolved the task as required and I add an extra feature called uploads.
The uploads feature works in this way, a user can upload a CSV file which is converted into a table through the CSV converter tool, implemented in this project. For test the uploads I made a folder under CSV/Samples which contains some CSV files for test the tool.
The app is done by the MVVM architecture:
The app structure:
The task was challenging and interesting. I learned the MVVM Architecture and experimented with a new framework. The project itself needs improvements and a better responsive layout. With experience and further knowledge, I will be able to redesign it in a better way.
