As I continue to work on Project 5, I am finding myself stuck at the start, so to speak.
My approach to start the project is to get the map to display, before doing anything more. I pulled up the Google Maps documentation, and pretty quickly had a working map displayed. However, trying to refactor this into the MVVM layout for Knockout is not going quite as well, though. I was able to split out the data into a model, but I cannot get the map to display, no matter what I put into the viewModel portion of the JS code.
I decided to go back to the course and watch the course explanation of Knockout again, as well as working through the Knockout tutorials. I have ideas of how to expand functionality based on that research, but I don't feel any closer to a solution on getting the basic map working in this framework.
I could probably look at a few Github repositories to get ideas. However, that feels a bit like giving up before really making sure I have exhausted all other possibilities on my own. I want to be able to say I did this all with my own research, and not based on reviewing the work of other students for inspiration.
With the weekend coming up, I can devote some serious time to further research, and probably get a few pointers in HipChat from other students that will put me on the right path.
