Architecture Overview

Refer to the diagram below

• CQ uses separate JS file for each quiz.
• There is nothing special about the quiz.html
  • The quiz.html file just serves as template and holder for the corresponding <Quiz.js> file.
• The main quizzing logic and UI logic is all in common.js
• In that sense common.js is the main engine of CQ.
• The quiz specfic js is merely a source of questions for any specific quiz.

Third party API Libraries

• jQuery 3.5.1
• Bootstrap 4.5
• Font Awesome

The quiz question source

• The quiz specific JS file expects question source as following JSON

// questionSource Object
    let pracquiz = [
    {
      num: 1,
      q: "Your Question Text Goes Here",
      options: [
        { id: 1, optiontext: "Your Option 1" },
        { id: 2, optiontext: "Your Option 2" },
        { id: 3, optiontext: "Your Option 3" }
        // You may add as many options as you like
      ],
      correctOption: 3,
      // difficulty should be easy, medium or hard
      difficulty: "easy",
      // category is freeform
      category: "Math"
    }
  ]    

Function calls inside quiz specific JS

Notes :

* Do not modify the quiz html files.
* The quiz html files although is just a template,but serves as an interface which has predefined controls for the quiz to work.
* if you need to modify the modal ReadMe body, title and its html contents - make use of the quiz specific JS file. see the image "function calls inside quiz specific JS" above.

Scores and rules

• currently the scoring rules and time subtraction rules are built in however long term the goal is to make them config driven.

common.js

• common.js is the main driving engine for CQ
• common.js makes use of 'quiz' object to store quiz stats and time.
• quizTimer is the main timer for quiz.
• All answer options buttons, question divs etc are built dynamically using the functions in common.js
• Almost all important constructs in common.js have documentation comment above it. Please read the code and comments.
• Developers in case of enhancement request please create a GitHub issue or create a new pull request.

Future

• more Quizzes to be added.
• Currently the question source object is a JavaScript object created in quiz specific JS. The long term goal is to make quiz source as separate stringified JSON file.
• Currently the scores are stored locally using localStorage object. The long term goal is to make the scores persist in some database.
