Do's and Don'ts when developing First Project with Ignition?

  1. Bind UI input values to custom properties of the view, and reference those instead of the input value itself. It not only makes for cleaner code without a bunch of getChild/getSibling nonsense with hardwired component names, but ensures that you can reorganize and rename components without breaking those references.
  2. Name your UI components/containers. It may seem like unnecessary effort in the short term, but in the long term it will save lots of hassle when trying to navigate your way down to a specific component.
  3. Browse this forum regularly. I have learned many valuable tips just from reading responses to other people's questions.
