Tutusfx Development Report (July 2019)

in #utopian-io5 years ago

Tutusfx continues its development using Vuejs and JQuery.

Tutusfx is an open-source, incentivised exchange (cryptoexchange, forex, et al) trade platform designed on blockchain technology. The website is currently under development, and is expected to launch its alpha version later this year. The Vuejs public repository is available on github and the JQuery flavour is also available on github.

We present monthly development reports to alert the public on changes to our source codes and the resulting effect (feature addition, modification or removal) on the application.

Monthly Development Report (July 2019)
Users are allowed to access functions on various sections of the application. General purpose functions that are frequently used are place on the toolbar (shown at the top) and replicated into the navigation drawer (hidden on the right).

Vuetify source code for Drawer with Menu

The drawer width is set at 260px and a break point is set at 991. The drawer items are kept as a list of lists which is iteratively loaded to the drawer. The drawer background color is regulated by the theme and the resultant color is bound to the drawer to keep it uniformed with other menu items.

The toolbar items are kept and loaded in the same way as drawer items. The toolbar background color is also handled the same way as that of the drawer.

CRD Modification
To reduce user data consumption of application, the Homepage Currency Rate Display (CRD) was replaced by an animation of images. This animation of images is to be an indirect route to a local CRD (currently under development). The texts on the Homepage animation are set with transitions that make them more attractive when loaded anew; they zoom in from left and right individually.

About Us Modification
The About Us section of the Homepage is intended to be a link to the About Us view of the website. The image on the section was given a transition to make it appear from top while the texts appear from bottom. This is intended to make the section more attractive and in turn, also make the Homepage more attractive to users.

To beautify and standardize the application, Vuetify was added to it and Vuex was used for handling the Themes.
