buddycloud.js (or lib buddycloud) roadmap and tests

[Rodrigo Duarte]

Hey guys,

buddycloud.js will be a lib to help developers build stuff on top of buddycloud's stack. The main idea is that will do the HTTP API requests, so devs won't have to do XHR requests or use ajax manually.

The roadpmap that we are thinking looks like:

1 - Define functions signatures

2 - Write unit tests for it

3 - Implement

4 - Refactoring

5 - Repeat 1, 2, 3, 4 cycle until the tests are passing

6 - Acceptance tests (test the whole buddycloud stack) and documentation

An example of use of the lib, would be to retrieve all subscriptions from a node, like:

buddycloud.subscriptions({node: '/user/rodr...@buddycloud.org/posts'}, callback)

Any suggestion of projects that we could base ourselves on? Criticisms?

You shoud use promises rather than callbacks:

jQuery's ajax() method returns a promise, so there might not be much to
implement:

Nice one Rodrigo. This will be a huge win for writing quick and dirty apps and even quick and clean apps :)

For the /notifications/posts endpoint, I suggest having a kickoff method
that takes care of the long-polling behind the scenes and only triggers
a callback/promise when something interesting happens.
