Some notes on Capture

[Michelle D'Souza]

Hi Boyan,

I've been taking a closer look at your work in Capture and I thought  
I'd send along a few notes that may help in improving the code.

I noticed that you were able to remove the use of 'find' on line 89  
which released the API restriction of the selector for the  
deleteButton. However, on line 182 the issue is reintroduced. After  
looking at it a bit longer, I'm feeling like the handling of the  
delete button is more complicated then it needs to be. Instead of  
using show and hide like I suggested, you could simply use CSS to deal  
with the styling. This should do the trick:

.fl-reorderer-movable-default .flc-capture-button-delete {
    display: none;
}

I might be missing something here, but I think the actual click  
handling of the button could be handled by adding the click handler at  
the time of rendering using a jQuery decorator. At that time you  
should know which item you are rendering so your click handler would  
know which item to delete.

It seems to me that we could find a better name for 'initialModel'.  
The word model implies the data for the component that is abstracted  
from the DOM where as in this case we are talking about a DOM element.  
Is that actually a thumb template perhaps? I'm really not good at  
naming so hopefully you'll find a better name.

There is some repeated code in the 'if' and 'else' blocks starting on  
line 243 - perhaps there is a better way to factor this code. At the  
very least the 3 identical lines could be pulled out of the if and  
else blocks.

I'll be looking at your code regularly so expect more of these  
messages as you progress.

Hope this is useful,

Michelle
