Assignment update - mid point

Introduction

In this guide, we will update our assignment to reflect the latest changes to our project.

Important - read first!

Progress check

So far, your assignment should have already documented the following:

• Breaking down the project requirements from the client-brief
• Designed an algorithm to handle the sign-up form logic
• Configured our project file links so they are ready for development
• Converted our algoritm into a comment plan for easier implementation
• Commited our changes to GitHub for safekeeping

If you have not completed any of these steps, please revisit the previous guide and do so before continuing.

Progress review

Since our last assignment update, we have:

• Configured HTML inputs so their values can be targetted in JavaScript
• Created an event listener to handle the form submission
• Captured the data coming from the form submission
• Validated the form data to ensure it meets the required criteria
• Handled any validation errors and displayed these neatly on the form

Tip

Recording your work

• Make sure to document each step of your project in your assignment.
  • Think about how you can explain your work to someone who has never seen your project before.
  • Use clear language and avoid jargon where possible. Where you need to use technical terms, make sure to explain them.
  • Jusify the choices behind each step taken so far in the project.
• Include any code snippets, diagrams, or notes that will help you to explain your work.
  • Remember you can export your flow-chart design directly from FigJam as a PNG graphic
  • You can also generate neatly formatted code snippets in FigJam using the code block tool under the ‘More’ tab of the ‘Additional Tools’ menu.

Next steps

Once you have updated your assignment, we will move onto refactoring our code to make it more manageable.
