Repository name change! If you have a copy of the extension that points to github.com/twingl/trailblazer-wash
you will want to update that to the new one
Trailblazer is a Chrome extension built to track a user's browsing activity and build up a map, helping them make sense of the places they visit.
If you have a modern version of node, excellent - you're good to go. This has been tested on 5.x so far so if you run into problems create an issue and we can address it.
You also should have the EditorConfig plugin installed for your editor before editing any of the source.
See the Getting Started guide
This is what the user sees when they view an assignment using Trailblazer's UI, i.e. it's the sum of an Assignment and all of its Nodes rendered in the graph layout.
This is the container to which browsing activity (Nodes) is attached.
As far as vernacular is concerned, it should be noted here that Assignment and Map essentially refer to the same construct, but from different contexts (and subsequently different boundaries regarding what they encompass).
When referring to it as an Assignment, this is usually from a context where the data model is being considered in some detail (e.g. interacting with the API). In these kinds of contexts it is often important to make the distinction between the Map as a whole (which encompasses the Assignment, its Nodes and often the User), and the Assignment component which acts as a container object for Nodes and a join model between a Project and a User. In the case where it is being referred to as a Map, it's less important to consider the intricacies of the data model, considering it as a 'sum of its parts' - often in the context of design and UI/UX.
This is the 'smallest' item in the data model, encompassing a visit to some web address in the context of an Assignment. It houses information about the site, as well as meta-data such as when the address was first visited. In future it may also house information such as return visits and time spent viewing/idle.
Git, GitHub workflow for this Chrome Extension
- Pull from GitHub so the local copy of
master
is up to date. - Start a feature branch, named appropriate to the story (e.g. the story may
be called "Assignment list", so the branch is named
assignment-list
). - [Do work things].
- When the feature is finished and is ready to go for code review, prefix the branch with "[needs review]", open a new Pull Request.
- Someone else reviews the changes and either closes the PR, merges the branch, or gives feedback to action before it can be closed/merged/delivered.
