Challenges

  • Vue.js is brand new field for me. I took a very long time to understand how Augur frontend works. Firstly, I misunderstand how frontend part mapping endpint to js functions. I belived we should create a new class for repo_group. However, I found we can simply added helper functions into class repo when I started to implement it. But the frontend still cann't keep and pass new attributes repo_group_id and repo_id. I need to modify a lot of files to make it work in the future.

Plans for next week

  • Make modification on frontend part make it works with new helper function
  • Developing a few metrics on the frontend
