Learning Diary:

In this unit, I started on coding JavaScript functions without the use of any online code, or libraries. This is a little different than what I am used to as most of the code in which I write utilizes some libraries or frameworks. I started off by writing the pseudo-code for all my functions I intended to create so that I would have a good understanding of what to implement next as I developed the code. One of the challenges I ran into was around the form validation and storing the information. I wanted to use a textarea field instead of a simple input for the services field in the form, as I wanted to allow for vendors to write all of the services that they provide and not be limited to a small input field. Unfortunately, that means the textarea was not actually part of the form being submitted, so when I got the information from the form it was missing. But I was able to work around this by getting the field by its element then individually reading the value of its field when the submit event is triggered. Many of the other changes I did in this unit such as the loading the header and looping through the fabrics to render them where to improve the maintainability of the code and allow for easy changes should they need to be made in the future.
