JavaScript Development Fundamentals for Magento 2
Magento's JavaScript layer looks bolted on. It has its own logic.
RequireJS configs, custom components, shims, paths -- the terminology alone is enough to stall a confident backend developer.
Magento loads its JavaScript through a module system built on RequireJS, and nothing in that system behaves like the PHP you already know. A config that looks right still fails to load, because the fix isn't in the file you're editing -- it's in how RequireJS resolves paths and dependencies before your code ever runs.
This course builds up Magento's JavaScript layer one working component at a time.
RequireJS configuration first, then a custom AMD component, then passing data from PHP to JavaScript, then overrides and mixins. Each lesson ends with a component you can see running in the browser.
This is step two of the essential skills. When you finish, Magento 2 Power Theming is next, because a custom theme is where this JavaScript layer actually gets used. It is also included in the University.
You leave able to read any RequireJS config in Magento and know exactly what it's doing.
