However, for a web or mobile application developer to best make use to the available technologies a mindset of architecting the web or mobile application up front is important. </p> <p>These are five considerations to optimize code re-usability:</p> <ul> <li><p>Selection of the appropriate <strong>front-end web component architecture</strong> - Component-based frontend architecture is a new fashion in web development. React does it, Angular, VUE.JS use this approach as to other trending frameworks. <br> <a href="https://www.udemy.com/front-end-component-architecture-react-and-angular/">External link</a></p></li> <li><p>Use of an <strong>object-oriented approach</strong> – while object-oriented programming has a long history, the approach and design aspects are relevant for planning a web or mobile application with elements to be used for similar tasks. A good discussion of the currency of the concepts: <br> <a href="https://www.thesoftwareguild.com/blog/why-object-oriented-programming-is-alive-and-well-in-2019/">External link</a></p></li> <li><p>Designing with <strong>modular logic</strong> – each code module should be granular for a singular responsibility. This is the idea of structured programming at a component level. With the full application design, the consideration of the smallest task – that is merely a tool or component and independent as an entity. A primer on considerations can be found <a href="https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/modular-approach-in-programming/">here</a>.</p></li> <li><p>Using <strong>code templates</strong> vs. copying, pasting and then modifying code. There are open source options and products that are certified that offer options. Templates offer efficiencies. One should take into consideration: capabilities; certification; ownership of / customization of the template results. Templates vary from API list generations to code generators with varying features, and limitations. </p></li> <li><p>Planning the <strong>documentation first</strong> – facilitating a structured and modular approach to the application code. A good overview of how to create good documentation can be found <a href="https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/the-eight-rules-of-good-documentation">here</a>.</p></li> </ul> <p>These are just the highlights of some considerations. Skaffolder <a href="https://www.skaffolder.com">https://www.skaffolder.com</a> is a code generator for web and mobile applications. Using Skaffolder, developers can optimize code-reuse, implement company standards and save up to 40% of the development time and expense involved in designing and creating web or mobile applications. </p> <p>To learn more about Skaffolder and sign up for our newsletter and be updated on our next launch on Product Hunt <a href="https://skaffolder.com/landing.html#/producthunt">https://skaffolder.com/landing.html#/producthunt</a></p> reusability webapplicationdevelopment bestpractices devops blackshade91 Mon, 17 Dec 2018 14:24:56 +0000 https://forem.com/blackshade91/tool-for-web-developers-13cg https://forem.com/blackshade91/tool-for-web-developers-13cg angular pwa mongodb node
