<university-date>

Web component that solves the specific dates problem with web-based learning materials.

i.e. it turns the text in Situation B into text in Situation A. Where the specific dates are dependent on the current offering of the course.

Modifies the following

<university-date>Tuesday, Week 3</university-date>

to include a specific date when displayed- e.g. Tuesday, Week 3 (28 July 2020) based on the calendar for a specific university study period.

This component is an evolution of the trimester-date component. Starting again with a better name and hopefully better idea of web component development.

Current Status

This alpha release is just about ready. It now uses a singleton to provide a way of providing calendar information specific to different institutions. This singleton is required for this component to work.

The current example (dev/index.html) uses university-date-calendar customised for a specific institution. Modify the CALENDAR data structure and the getCurrentPeriod method for your institution.

Setup

Install dependencies:

npm i

Dev Server

This sample uses modern-web.dev's @web/dev-server for previewing the project without additional build steps. Web Dev Server handles resolving Node-style "bare" import specifiers, which aren't supported in browsers. It also automatically transpiles JavaScript and adds polyfills to support older browsers. See modern-web.dev's Web Dev Server documentation for more information.

To run the dev server and open the project in a new browser tab:

npm run serve

There is a development HTML file located at /dev/index.html that you can view at http://localhost:8000/dev/index.html.
