This project uses ReactJS + JSX (info).
Download and the latest stable Node.js, and then do npm install in the
cp-lockdown directory to install the dev dependencies. This will install babel.
Use the JSX preprocessor to automatically compile JSX to JS when saving files.
npx babel --watch jsx --out-dir js
The .babelrc file contains additional configuration for this.
This repository is a GitHub projects page. The code here backs the online version.
Each operating system is a Template component. A Template has a name (the operating system) and an ordered list of Groups. A Group has a name (e.g. Policies) and an ordered list of Sections.
A Section holds the content of a particular topic (e.g. Password Policy). It is a React component with the following functions:
- displayName(), returns the display name (e.g. "Password Policy")
- getLink(), returns a link to itself
- render(), returns the HTML content for the Section
For each operating system page, it has a header, a table of contents panel, and a content panel. The table of contents has the Groups and Sections.
Clicking on a Section link will set the URL fragment for the page (e.g. win7.html#PasswordPolicy). A listener reads the URL fragment and loads the respective Section HTML content in the content panel. A specific Section content version may be loaded depending on the operating system.
The index.html file has links to the other .html files. Each operating system has a specific .html file. Each operating system platform (Windows, Linux) has a respective checklist .html file. The styles.css file controls the style for all the .html files.
The package .json files are for Node.js.
The jsx directory has the source files and the js directory has the generated JavaScript files.
The common.jsx has the code for Template, Group, and Section. The ref .jsx files has the Sections for the respective operating system platforms. Each operating system has a separate .jsx file that declares the Template, Groups, and Sections for it.
