Getting started

MainApp comes with ProjectApp.js which should be used instead. It’s a away to hide most of it’s logic and split up between reused code and project-specific code.

ProjectApp.js is meant to be edited and run like so:

// Check if it already exists
if (window['app']) {
   window.app.refresh();
}
else {
    window.app = new MainApp();
}
