Original author here. During the study, I explicitly forbid myself from writing general-purpose helpers which would make up a framework. Would you mind elaborating what in your view makes up the "custom framework"? Thanks!
- Joker_vD 6y agoIf general-purpose helpers make up a framework, then what is the difference between a library and a framework? I'm pretty sure jQuery is not a framework.
- morrvs 6y agoSorry, I didn't mean to make a difference between frameworks and libraries in this case; both would violate the method/goal of the case study which was finding vanilla patterns that are not dependant on general-purpose code.
- conscion 6y agoNot OP, but in my reading of your case study, you still made a framework. Instead of having a code-based framework, where the methods and classes enforce how you implement your system - you created a convention-based framework (use a specific CSS naming technique, model your JS on this template, etc.).
- tobr 6y agoIsn't a “convention-based framework” just... a convention? With such a generous definition of “framework”, is it even realistic to solve this problem without accidentally creating one? Would you need to purposefully avoid any type of consistency between the different modules, and solve the same problem in different ways if it comes up more than once?
