ES5 Examples

[quangv]

Hey there,

I am interested in using alt for my current project and at the same time have decided to not use ES6, are there any ES5 examples of using Alt?

Thanks.

There are examples scattered about everywhere but not in a single place in particular.

You can use regular old constructors and prototypes:

function TodoStore() {
  this.todos = {};

  this.bindListeners({
    handleAddTodo: TodoActions.ADD_TODO
  });
}

TodoStore.prototype.handleAddTodo = function (todo) {
  var id = todo.id;
  this.todos[id] = todo;
};

var todoStore = alt.createStore(TodoStore);

Question: would you prefer to use plain old javascript objects to define stores? You can use the ES3 module pattern with this approach:

Hey @goatslacker,

Thanks for the reply, I can use it as reference for the other examples in the Readme.

I am using coffee-script + CommonJS/Browserify
