Preparations

1. Clone this repo

   git clone https://github.com/raimohanska/bacon-devday-code.git
   cd bacon-devday-code
   

2. Open the index.html file in your browser

   open index.html
   

3. Make sure you have developer tools in your browser and that you can use them. Google Chrome will do. In Chrome (Mac OSX), Go to View -> Developer -> Developer Tools. You should be able to run Javascript expressions on the Console tab.

4. Try some expression in the Developer Console, like

   $("#username input").asEventStream("keyup")
   

5. Have a look at Bacon.js readme

Here's how I modeled the problem for Bacon.js reactive code.

Side-effects are not depicted.

Steps to success

1. Disable button if username is missing

• define usernameEntered property
• assign side-effect: setDisabled for registerButton

2. Disable also if full name is missing

• define fullname and fullnameEntered properties
• use .and() to change the condition for enabling the button

3. Disable also if username unavailable

• include usernameAvailable to the condition for enabling the button

4. Show AJAX indicator when AJAX pending

• define usernameRequestPending property as usernameRequest.awaiting(usernameResponse)
• assign side effect to show usernameAjaxIndicator

5. Disable button when AJAX is pending

6. Implement registerClick stream

• tip: do(".preventDefault")

7. Implement registrationRequest

• combine username and password into a new property that would be the data given to JQuery.ajax
• can use username.combine(..) or Bacon.combineTemplate
• type: "POST"

8. Make this a stream of registration requests, send when the button is clicked

• .sampledBy(registerClick)

9. Create registrationResponse stream

• as in usernameResponse stream

10. Show feedback

11. Disable button after registration sent

12. Show ajax indicator for registration POST
