Summary

The objective of the core project is to provide a first stable version. We will use technologies helping us to provide good practices to improve the software quality. These are the main topic :

• Collaborative project improve coding application as a service for other developers
• OpenSource project forces us to be visible, therefore producing quality code
• Use a MVC framework for the Web application enforce separation of concerns
• Use Typescript to transpile to JavaScript to enforce typesafe at compile time

Technologies

• Angular 2 has good feature and provide a good way to separate concerns. It is still in a RC version but we think it will have a good future. Furthermore, Angular 2 embraces Observables and Reactive programming.
• TypeScript is an OpenSource language transpiling into JavaScript. It's a superset of JS and enhance type safety.
• MongoDB will be used for the database because most data are formatted JSON.

Dev dependencies

• npm install typings --global
• typings install --global github:Esri/jsapi-resources/3.x/typescript/arcgis-js-api.d.ts

Useful tools
