Hi Angela, this looks good and I appreciate the detailed documentation on
how to install the extension.

One thought I had is that you could move your validation into a new
dedicated file, and then leave branch-list.js alone.  I did this in my
current project, in order to create a centralized location for validation
functions so I could apply them in any form. I created validation.js
<https://github.com/mradamcox/afrh/blob/master/afrh/media/js/views/forms/sections/validation.js>,
and then used it in each form like this
<https://github.com/mradamcox/afrh/blob/master/afrh/media/js/views/forms/inventory-evaluation.js>
(see lines 5, 9, and 80).  I have two basic functions in there now, but
have thought that a simple nodeIsDigit() would be good to add.

I set things up this way because I didn't want to bloat branch-list.js, in
fact, I don't even need it in my app at all.

Anyway, the extension looks useful, and I look forward to giving it a try
soon.
