Having watched a couple of the upcoming flick with Van Wilder… sorry, I mean Ryan Renolds, lead me to an interesting discovery. It’s hosted at trailers Deadpool http://www.deadpoolcore.com/ I’m curious by nature and whenever I stumble across something interesting, I tend to start digging with my Chrome inspector. I thought some fancy web-font was being used and my initial digging took me to some CSS, then to the page body under the inspector’s “Elements” tab. My eyes were instantly drawn to <script type=”text/javascript” src=”//forms.foxfilm.com/signupv231.js”></script> This bit of JS would setup the global FoxSignup which allows one to essentially setup the form with the bare minimum constructor var foxSignup = new FoxSignup(); $(“#signup-form”).validate(foxSignup.formValidatorOptions()); A the signup payload is posted to a singular end-point — one that I plan to build either with Sinatra or a scaled-down version of Rails — which in turn pushes the payload to . convenient comment revealed AWS SQS (a message queuing service) Earlier this week that supports ES6 via Babel.js ‘out of the box’, and I decided to use this to bootstrap a really quick test. In the example below, my attempt sends the identical payload to the Fox server, and I still receive a success response. I released an upgraded version of a Yeoman generator You will find the in the ‘fox-clone’ branch, although I plan to make changes for personal use within the master branch. end-result available on Github Having switched to ES6, there are some niceties that I’m baking in such as easy overriding var foxSignup = new FoxSignup(); FoxSignup.prototype.sendTracking = function(response) {console.log('override and send tracking...');} FoxSignup.prototype.ajaxCallback = function(response) {console.log('override and handle callback: %O', response);} $("#signup-form").validate(foxSignup.formValidatorOptions()); I also want to clean up the validation aspect, which currently relies on a very specific payload tied to Fox’s use-case.
