Developer Meeting | AmplifyJS - A Component Library for jQuery

Meeting Minutes 2011-05-25

scott: Andrew Powell is finishing the VSDocs
- We have a few bugs to fix in the demos and update the docs prior to release
jdsharp: Github is current on issue tracking
scott: Discovered some quirks in IE 9's web storage
- filed an issue to investigate some more: https://github.com/appendto/amplify/issues/10
- I'll be posting tests for everything soon, but here's what I've found out so far:
- if you use bracket notation to set data, e.g. localStorage[ "foo" ] = "bar"
- you'll never get a quota exceeded error but you can actually exceed the quota
- at which point the data no longer persists
- even though it does get stored on the localStorage object
- that's the quirk that has a big impact on us because amplify.store uses bracket notation
- there's another quirk where numeric index just don't work
- but it's impossible to use a numeric index in amplify.store because all of the keys get prefixed
- so I'll need to update amplify.store to always use methods since it's much safer
- I'm also almost done with the storage limit support tests
- which will allow us to figure out which devices we can actually support
New feature request: https://github.com/appendto/amplify/issues/11 - agreed it makes sense, will implement.
Web storage tests will be used to determine the list of mobile devices
