External Data Sources
External data comes in from these sources:
- onScriptLoaded(subject data) - from pages/*.js
- flash.js switches the page and then passes data to Program object
- onLoadData(data) - from an external windows such as Sanskrit Keyboard
- postMessage: window.addEventListener(“message”, function(e) {
- flash.js reads the data to generate a new page and then passes data to Program object
- from getCards data service
- directly handled by Program object
- from localStorage
- onstartup
- when previous session is stored in localStorage
Data Portal:
program.loadData(data)
Card(quest) constructor
The incoming data object is external to the closure compiler, and therefore references to it must use brackets-quoted-string notation.
- We first pass the data object to program.loadData().
- Here the data is pulled out and loaded into internal objects, and the original external data object is discarded.
- The internal objects are then accessed by dot-notation.
