>>61847538
I want to either freelance or work a completely remote job.

What's the best thing to learn to achieve this? Right now I know basic JS and React, HTML & CSS, bit and bobs

>>61847712

Freelancers rules:

(+)
1) You can pretty much chose what technology you want to use. The customer woun't care if it's Elixir/Phoenix or Wordpress. It's only about the outcome.

2) You can choose when to work and when not.

3) You have no boss, you can pretty much do what you want if the result is good.


(-)
1) You have to be a one man army. You have to do your own marketing (making your own web dev website, talking to people, aquiring customers), your own management (estimating costs, make a REALISTIC schedule, talk about expectiation, negotiate about costs and handle customer problems), your own support (if you are sick for a week you simply don't earn money and nobody is gonna do your work) and probably even your own designer/front end team.

2) Design really matters. It's not just about glueing some functionality together. You have to put a lot of effort into finding youtr what the customer really want and create a good UI and UX. You have to do all this requirement engineering shit: mood boards, wireframes, make a few different approaches until your customer is satisfied..

3) Nobody is gonna save your ass. There's nobody who can help you. If the customer is not satisfied nobody is gonna get into ugly negotiations for you. If you underestimate the problem and miscalculate the costs/time, nobody is gonna tell you that your planning is bullshit. And trust me, in the beginning you WILL make a lot of mistakes and work unpaid overtime. A lot. Estimating man hours in the IT is incredibly hard and requires a lot of experience.

4) You have to be your own motivator. It sounds great to not be expected to show up 9 o'clock at work, but in the end a website requires a certain amount of work, no matter how you look at it. This mean you can either kick yourself in the ass and be disciplined, or you will have to do death marches with little sleep when the deadlines gets closer.


(Conclusion)

Freelancing is fun, but hard. Don't underestimate it.

>>61847712

If you don't at least have 5 impressive personal projects under your belt, you're a failure.

How do you host images on client side? I know you can preview them.

I want to make an app where you upload 6-15 images. Can that be hosted on client side? If so, how?

If I want to just host a blog somewhere what host do I use and where is a good place to get domains?

Using Django, if that influences things somehow.

>>61849448

> Using Django, if that influences things somehow
no relation at all

Is there a way to make this work without repeating myself with two separate event listeners as I am doing?

inputEl.addEventListener('focus', function() {
  document.getElementById('notes-input-info').style = 'visibility: visible';
  inputEl.style = 'border: 1px solid #aaa';
})

inputEl.addEventListener('blur', function() {
  document.getElementById('notes-input-info').style = 'visibility: hidden';
  inputEl.style = 'border: 0px';
})

>>61849049

I'm working on making my projects look impressive before embarking on this. I plan on having a good income from freelancing while working a normal job before just doing full-time freelance.

I have most trouble with marketing. I am completely and utterly shit at it. Say I have awesome service, everything is perfect except for my marketing. Where do I start? How do i get clients?

How much money can reasonably be expected from fulltime freelancing work, aka a standard 40-hour workweek?

>>61849772
Start with a website that displays your projects all nice and fancy and in a "this is what I can do for you" professional manner. Then attend meetups. Beyond that idk, good luck anon.

>>61847712
Get a dev job.

Start networking from there.

Sup dudes, web dev newb here.

I'm making a local weather app for FreeCodeCamp. One of the user stories is to add a button to change from celsius to fahrenheit and vice versa. I can only get the button to fire once though. Here is my code, sorry I don't know how to use quotes yet;

// Function to change ˚C to ˚F via button //

function convertToF (number) {
return (number*1.8) + 32;
};

var body = document.body;

if (body.textContent.includes("Fahrenheit") || body.innerText.includes("Fahrenheit")) {
$(".temp-button").on("click", function() {
$("#temp").text(Math.round(convertToF(temperature)) + "˚F");
$(".temp-button").text("Celsius ˚C")
});
} else if (body.textContent.includes("Celsius") || body.innerText.includes("Celsius")) {
$(".temp-button").on("click", function() {
$("#temp").text(Math.round(temperature) + "˚C");
$(".temp-button").text("Fahrenheit ˚F")
});
}

I tried to set it so that when the word 'Fahrenheit' is read on the button, clicking the button will change it to celsius and vice versa. I'm guessing the problem might be that there's nothing to be read once the button has been clicked. The console isn't returning anything.

Feel free to make any other constructive criticisms on my code. I'm pretty new and could do with an experienced eye or two.

>How do i get clients?
My first clients were local business. Quite literally walked into a shop and said "lets make some websites". I worked for them for food basically but it boosted my reputation. They told about me to their colleagues, etc.

>>61851178
that code to assign the function to your button only runs once, when the page loads.
At that time the button says fahrenheit.
The "else" part never actually runs.

Better to keep track of the current temperature unit in a variable and show Celsius/Fahrenheit based on that.

let isCelcius = false

$(".temp-button").on("click", function() {
  isCelcius = !isCelcius
  $("#temp").text(isCelcius ? Math.round(convertToF(temperature)) + "˚F" : Math.round(temperature) + "°C");
  $(".temp-button").text(isCelcius ? "Celsius ˚C" : "Fahrenheit ˚F")
});

it would be super ez
supposing you want to index web pages just run tf-idf for search queries on said pages and return top 5 or something
to improve perfs pre compute tf-idf results for each term in web pages, index results in memory
to get fuzzy results, index terms using phonetic algorithm instead, get phonetic representation of search term and find closest indexed terms using string distance calculation algorithm (levenstein), this way you can find results even tho user misspelled search query

i'm going to need an in depth guide for this.

>>61852051
yo want to
1. process query terms
2. sort your pages for relevance against query terms
3. return most relevant pages

An easy metric for 2. is tf-idf.
So yuo could precompute tf-idf scores for terms present in your pages and keep them in memory. This way if user searches for a term you just lookup tf-idf scores and return documents with highest scores. You can then fancy everything up by not taking stop-words into account, stemming words or using phonetic stuff to account for spelling errors

would it be possible to completely hide my js source code if I use node?

Is this the correct way to embed an N number of documents inside other documents in MongoDB/Mongoose?

somethingSchema = mongoose.Schema({
  name: String,
  description: String,
  sections: [{
    name: String,
    arrayOfThings: [{
      text: String,
      type: String,
      value: Number
    }]
  }]
});

>>61853470
hide it from whom? Another person running your program in Node?

>>61853611
I don't want to hide all the code, just the JSON data and the calculations of the algorithm. Can't you do these server-side?

>>61849676

const inputEl = ...;
const notesInputInfo = document.getElementById('notes-input-info');

['focus', 'blur'].forEach(type => inputEl.addEventListener(type, notesToggle));

function notesToggle(e) {
  notesInputInfo.style.visibility = e.type === 'focus' ? 'visible' : 'hidden';
  inputEl.style.border = e.type === 'focus' ? '1px solid #aaa' : '0';
}

Freelancing fucking sucks. Get a comfy startup job.

Currently in the process of starting my own small web services company, and im having difficulty deciding what to use for the website. Whats the best option for creating a site with basic payment gateway compatibility? Should I just purchase a WHMCS subscription to use with my WHM? Or are there free alternatives that I should use?

tl:dr alternatives to WHMCS

>>61853918
Last time I used WHMCS (maybe 10 years ago?) it was pretty simple, I've been using Stripe for some time now and really enjoy it

Does anyone know how to use shortid in mongo? The trash documentation is very lacking.

>>61853943
Stripe looks alright, no monthly subscription fee is a good thing to have, even if it costs 2.9% per transaction. Do you have an example site you could show me using Stripe? Id like to know how much customization I can put into the front end.

Learning CakePHP.

Why was this created?

This is some 2010 shit. Who has pages that need to load anymore?

>>61853635
are you asking if if you can do calculations serverside? sending json to the client will let the client see the json. Just send the result of the calculation to the client

>>61854097
With Stripe, you can use their checkout elements (not incredibly customizable, but very easy to integrate) or do it raw. Checkout is essentially just a button. WHMCS is definitely more turnkey if you're looking for easy of integration, I'd go with that. As for a site, mine is a SaaS application, but I'm weary of posting it here

>>61853635
still not clear exactly.
since Node is server-side, what's there to hide from clients. They only see what you send them.
like >>61854198
said

>>61854262
So for stripe, I would just create a site from scratch or with a CMS, and then add the Stripe add to cart & checkout buttons to the site?

>>61854313
Sort of, its a bit more than that, Stripe stores payments/payment details/subscriptions but the way it works is your application sends the info straight to stripe, which verifies and returns a token to you which use. It's a more setup, but if you are just looking for webhosting, whmcs probably makes more sense

>>61852655

Can you guys help me out, I changed the color off a couple off texts and borders in a website via the google inspector, I want to save this file so I don't have to do the same thing again when I open a new page, how can I do this?

And if theres no way I want to at least be able to save this style.

Much appreciated.

>>61854290
desu I haven't used node yet so I have no idea how it works, I just want the client to receive only the final results you get in html and the source data be inaccessible

>>61854450
It really depends on if its a website you own or not. If its a public website (youtube, for example) save the CSS to a text file on your desktop, then download stylish (browser addon) and add a new style to the website and copy + paste the CSS into stylish. If you own the site download the CSS file you just edited and overwrite the old CSS file on the server.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylish-custom-themes-for/fjnbnpbmkenffdnngjfgmeleoegfcffe?hl=en

>>61854513
How can I download the existing css from the chrome inspector? Sorry I'm new

>>61854495
might want to read up on frontend/backend in general then.
The client has no way of knowing what your backend actually looks like. What kind of database you are running, which functions get called, or even that you are running Node in the first place and not something else.

>>61854847
ok thanks

another thing, how hard would it be to implement my app into node? will I need to remake the whole thing?

>>61852655
This.

>>61854442
>Wtf

>>61854877
>how hard would it be to implement my app into node?
You need to post some actual information if you want to have useful answers.

Is your app currently frontend-only and you want to move it to a server instead? (If it's just for hiding the code, then that is not a good reason at all)
Or are you using something like Django, etc. and want to move to Node instead?
There is a bit of worked involved in any case, but probably less if it's already written in JS.

>>61855024
the app is completely in js and uses few libraries including jquery

hiding the code is one reason but I think the app is getting a bit laggy the more complex stuff I add in, wouldn't server side make it run faster? (at least in mobiles)

possibly, if you plan to utilize server-side rendering.

I want to build a sort of scraper that looks for any image from a url and compares it to an existing database of images stored locally. Before comparing, it needs to identify the content of the image, basically if the image depics Pepe, for instance, the program compares it with other pepes stored locally to check if it is missing or not. I know how to work on images, the only problem is that I have no idea about the image recognition. I know there is some Machine Learning involved here.

If you don't have a web frontend you wouldn't even need any js for this.

How do you guys upload projects made with composer?

I know that a lot of people are using shared hosting for production. Many shared hosting providers do not let you have command line access necessary for running composer on the production deployment. In that case, do you deploy the project with the /vendor folder included?

In the frontend side I just use webpack to automatically inject node_modules dependencies into the final build, therefore eliminating the need to upload the entire node_modules folder.

I'm just kind of confused with this

Then move on to something else you enjoy.
I honestly can't even learn about anything in stages like that. It has to all be working towards a personal project otherwise it starts feeling vague.
So try that, either work towards a project and learning necessary components as they arise or as I said earlier just move on.

>>61860128
it's for a project but it's just hard because I'm trying to go about it in a "proper" way. I built out a prototype, now I'm building it without states, then I have to get it working with states, then I need to get it ready for the backend's API, then build the backend. It's just taking such a long time that I feel like it's pointless when I know it isn't.

>>61860164
If it's taking such a long time that you're starting to feel like it's pointless, why not speed up the process? Granted, this advice isn't that great if you're working on an enterprise tier bank system or some major shit, but otherwise it's a very important skill to know where to cut corners. Not every step has to be polished to perfection.

>>61856029
Fizzbuzz, fibonacci, tree traversal questions are probably the most common stock questions, if you can't do all of those without thinking start there.

Closures and async execution tricks are also common, I ask both in almost any frontend interview.

It gets a lot broader from there, probably nothing you're going to study beyond that is going to turn up in a given interview. In the future don't be a lazy piece of shit and work on studying algorithms before you start getting interviews.

>>61862232

>>61862277
Thank you man.

I just started on algo questions, was working on projects till now. The interviews all just suddenly happened, I have three in a row.

Final question: if someone fails an algo/technical question, is there a way they can redeem themselves and still get the job in your eyes?

>>61863369
Not him, but it depends on the company I guess. Our lead is absolutely anal about algorithms questions, he was a cs phd student once. Basically, no tree traversals - no job.

cto in the other company I worked for was much more relaxed about algo questions and all he cared about were test projects.

Just like get ready senpai, read algos. Good luck

>Fizzbuzz, fibonacci, tree traversal questions are probably the most common stock questions, if you can't do all of those without thinking start there.

if (e.keyCode === 13 && e.ctrlKey) {
    inputEl.value = inputEl.value + '/n';
  }

I wanna make it so that when the user presses Ctrl along with Enter, a new line is produced in the textarea field just as if they had pressed Enter normally. In my script I made pressing the Enter key into "submit value of textarea to <div> below then clear text in textarea". That works fine but this doesn't. A lil' assistance please friends

>>61864401
>this doesn't
What do you expect to see and what is actually happening?

>>61864553
Enter + Ctrl = new line in textarea, just like default behaviour when Enter is pressed

What happens at the moment is '\n' is inserted after the textarea's value because it is interpreted as a string and not as a directive to insert an actual newline

So "how do I insert newline into textarea with Javascript?" is what I'm asking here

>>61864572
>inputEl.value + '/n';
'\n'

You'll be alright with fizzbuzz and fibo. Learn data structures if you haven't already. Your interviewer will likely test you on something more practical like making a mini rest API.

>>61860373
Got anything planned?

>>61860384
Might be best to update it client side rather than fetching the new database after every update i.e. when the API confirms a data entry then you can add it to the client.

Can't you just setup a REST server (tons of guides for this, I'd do it in ASP because I know C# but I'm sure node.js isn't much harder) and have users POST messages to a username/message JSON object, send it to the REST server, and then when someone wants to view their messages, just do a GET and have the server authenticate their cookie and return the list of objects with their username as the recipient? Seems like a simple backend structure. Then you just need to render it all pretty with CSS/js -- no idea how you do that, but again, something functional is probably not horribly difficult.

Me too. I hated it for so long after my first web dev job went horribly wrong.

I'm just sad I wasted so many months learning nothing at that shit hole. now i have an interview at my dream place and I'm 99.99% certain i'll fail because i have a very basic knowledge and can't answer technical questions for shit.

>>61866146
Yes, Incidentally I love the fact that there's so much shit going into web dev, so many technologies, so many libraries, that you feel so paralyzed that you don't even know where to start. I love that feeling.

>>61866328
That's not so bad when you at least know what knowledge you're missing. But then sometimes there's a thing that you had no idea you didn't know about, and just leaves you confused. E.g. "why isn't this working?" - "oh, CORS is a thing" or "oh, I need to be returning 206 partial responses".

Ah thanks man that makes more sense now

Using django, I have users create a user profile, and I want a wallet model associated to the user through a OneToOneField. I have defined the Wallet class (with a default value of $5000), and the User class, so my question is:

When the user creates a user profile, is the wallet created automatically for him (because it's one-to-one and has its only value set by default)? Should I specify for the wallet to be created in the Register_User definition? Hope the question makes some sense...

>>61868489
nvm, figured it out. If anyone is interested, I ended up instantiating the wallet class within the Register_User definition.

I want to create projects in JS, I really do

But my care for Javascript has sapped dry after about 2 months of learning. I feel like I have learned it all but don't really have any finished projects to show for it.

What language did you guys move on to after the basic three /wdg/?

>>61868916
enlighten the ignorant, what is the basic 3?

front end html/css/js?

>>61868947
yes

>>61868916
AFter the big 3 I went with C#, had my fun with it, but eventually got sick of all the boilerplate, and realized I didn't want to work in the corporate environments that would lean towards that language. Then I switched to Python and stuck with it so far, really love it. It's just so much fun coding in Python. For anyone worried about performance and shit: yeah, I'm not at the stage yet where I need to actually worry about that. I'm just interested in getting shit up and running at the moment.

But If you want a statically-typed language, I would recommend Go. It feels like a mid-point between Python on one hand and C#/Java on the other, in terms of verbosity, boilerplate and all that.

>>61868916
Then start some projects to demonstrate you know it. Shouldn't be too hard to come up with at least 1 project a day for a week. Nothing vast, just a demonstration of understanding obviously.
Anyways to your question, personally C#, Python, and now Swift.

How do I detect if some JS contains an eval statement?

>>61870831
Detect from what?

>>61870854

By reading the source with Javascript

app.get('/something', function(req, res)
{

    doSomethingAsynchronously(function(err, res)
    {

        // can't access req from here
        // I know why
        // but can't figure out how to work with this,
        // without defining an upper-scope variable accessible from everywhere

    });

});

someone help please

>>61870878
As a string? source.includes('eval') or something. You're not going to get a good solution unless you say more about exactly what your scenario is.

>>61870930

or even worse

file1.js

    someVar=null;
    myModule=require('./some_module.js')();
    
    // there must be a built-in way to wait for someVar
    // before ending the script without dirty tricks like

    (function(callback)
    {
        wait=setInterval(function()
        {
            someVar!==null
            ?
            (
                clearInterval(wait),
                callback()
            ):null;
        }, 300);
    })(function()
    {
        res.end();
    });

    // but how does I do?

some_module.js

    module.exports=function()
    {

        doSomethingAsynchronously(function(err, res)
        {

            if(!err)
            {
                someVar=res;

            }

        });

    };

>>61870930
Use an ES6 arrow function to capture the outer scope

>>61871069

and what I have this situation?

test.js

    let res=1;
    require('./test2.js')();

test2.js

    module.exports=()=>
    {
        console.log(res);
    };

results in

    console.log(res);
                ^

    ReferenceError: res is not defined    

Passing res to test2.js will make a copy, so whatever I do won't change the original variable.

python, C# and Go can be used for developing software, but they are also used for webdev, mainly, back-end stuff. I think your confusion might come from the front-end / back-end distinction, but yeah, it's all webdev. Check out the links in the OP for clarification.

>Final question: if someone fails an algo/technical question, is there a way they can redeem themselves and still get the job in your eyes?

Interviewers have a whole range of opinions. Personally I usually ask thee or four algorithm/coding questions in an interview and will advance a candidate if they don't miss more than one. Someone who answers three questions really well and freezes up on one is better in my books than someone who limps through four.

But there's usually a softball in there along the lines of fizzbuzz and if they can't do that it makes me wonder how they managed the harder ones. On the whole though yeah, one missed question is recoverable IMO.

>>61863543
>Would I be expected to know this for a junior position? Basically my first job ever (in programming) is what I'm going for. I can do fizzbuzz and fibo, but not trees.

I would strongly suggest learning the basic tree traversal algorithms. Some interviewers don't think data structures are important for frontend developers, but many others (including me) do. For a junior position you probably don't need to worry about tree balancing or the popular graph algorithms (although these should be things on your radar) but I wouldn't hire someone who couldn't do traversal or BST search. Working with the DOM is something you do every day, and the DOM is a tree, so if you don't at least know the rudiments of working with trees you're going to have a hard time.

"Async" isn't a response

I'm not sure why you're trying to act like an authority on the topic when you're the one here asking for help.

Google "javascript closure" and educate yourself. You absolutely can access req.

Is Ruby just an object-oriented Perl? Doesn't that mean that Perl is superior? After all the greatest piece of software known to man was written in Perl (cowsay).

>>61871631
That doesn't seem like a good idea, eval isn't always a bad thing. If you really want to do it you can be sure your script will execute before any page scripts you can do something like:

window['eval'] = function() {}

or make it throw an exception or something.

>>61874196
>Is Ruby just an object-oriented Perl?
No

>Doesn't that mean that Perl is superior?
even if it were true it wouldn't mean that

>>61865939
It's broken.
Not just on most browsers (most noticably Safari, whose implementation seems like it was made up by someone who was given a rough idea of how it's supposed to work), but also the fucking thing itself.

Using it fucking sucks. The API is as inconvenient as it could be. Everyone who worked on it should be ashamed.
This is how I'd expect stuff to work in C or C++ where the language doesn't have proper constructs for managing callbacks.

I heard that IndexedDB 2.0 somewhat fixes the madness but try guessing how good browser support is.

>>61874196
Perl can OOP just fine, and if you choose to use Moose it does OOP better than practically anything else out there. Ruby is just prettier and "easier" to use. That said Perl doesn't have much over Ruby besides speed

>>61872322
>that's the point?
He said earlier that he wants the inner function to have access to the outer variable and be able to mutate it, so a copy doesn't work.

>>61849448
Heroku has a free tier and you don't have to worry about maintaining a server. There is a certain degree of vendor lock in but it could be worse.

Other than that you could go with any of a number of cheap VPS providers. ramnode is good for hobby projects. Really pick anything off the front page of lowendbox

As for registrars, gandi is a little more expensive than the cheapest you can find but their support is a mile ahead of the competition. I consider it well worth the couple of extra bucks.

What's your preferred development environment /wdg/?

>>61865939
Kind of ill considered to start with, the real solution would be to give some kind of sandboxed access to low level disk operations and let userspace figure out what a reasonable DB for the browser is (honestly I'm not convinced there's an answer, at the point you need a DB in your fucking browser it's probably time to build a native app)

JSON sitting on your disk has no way of enforcing a schema, of indexing by anything other than filename, of enforcing typical constraints, of doing efficient join operations, of synchronizing writes, of caching.

People haven't spent decades writing insanely complex DB systems just for kicks, designing anything other than toy systems is incredibly painful with flat files.

The benefits of React/Vue are vast for the right use cases. Component lifecycle methods (at least in React) are incredibly useful. Also using Redux for state management is a life send. Nothing wrong with server-side rendering, but you'll have to do a lot more leg work when dealing with state

I just bought a can of black spraypaint and covered up a Trump sticker down the street, and it gave me an idea for a site for people in my city to report graffiti. It asks for permissions for location access, and when a picture is uploaded it automatically sets to coordinates of the image and creates a marker in the database. Then it can be used to find all the graffiti around town so that city workers or even concerned citizens can clean the city up.

I know what you're thinking: I'm trying to destroy art.

No, I'm not. My city has many beautiful murals painted by students at my university (pic related) that will remain. 99% of the graffiti in my city is just people scrawling their name on both public and private property. It's an eyesore, not art.

I have watched shitton of tutorialls like CSS, HMTL, Bootstrap, javascript and soo on.
Completed whole web developer bootcamp course on udemy(basic mean stack), but yet i can't make anytinhg meaningful.
Want to become full stack developer.
I feel so lost on all these begginer courses and videos.
Where do i go next?
Where could I find information to see the bigger picture?
How do i need to learn further?

>>61888825
don't you have something in your mind, that you would like to create?
There are always interesting things to make.

>>61888291
>just want a job.
try mcdonalds flipping burgers still requires a human

>>61888963
Yeah i do, but have no idea where to start and how to realize these ideas.

Created simple blog page.
With logins, signups, comments and other stuff.
But it just doesn't seem right.
Every blog post is same and don't know how to format it.
Bots could easily flood my webpage with comments.
I have also succesfully implemented apis like weather.
But still it seems i way too far from creating something worth money and i don't know where to seek for help or information.

>>61889181
i've already worked there and it's shit. Plus I'm sure they have AI for burger flipping now, it's only a matter of time

Okay, good. So you're starting out; That's fine. Firstly, keep in mind that just because it's been done before doesn't mean you shouldn't do it too. Sure, countless blog pages have already been done.
Next, what do you know about the MEAN stack? Can you construct a full app, with Angular front-end, Node/Express back-end, and a MongoDB database? If so, just start sketching out your plan. What else could your blog have? What's something you always WISHED a blog had that yours COULD have? Or, alternatively, what's something utterly ridiculous that your blog doesn't need at all, but still would be cool if you added it?

This one goes out to my fellow Javascript intermediates.

What interesting thing have you learned about how Javascript works recently?

My interesting thing relates to clearInterval(), particularly when used inside a setInterval() block. Only way to clear an interval inside its own code block is to declare the interval in a function expression rather than a function declaration:

So this does not do anything:

setInterval( function aiInterval() {
      aiCount--;
      aiCountDiv.textContent = aiCount;
      if (aiCount === 0) {
        clearInterval(aiInterval);
      } }, 1000)

But this works:

let aiInterval = setInterval( function() {
      aiCount--;
      aiCountDiv.textContent = aiCount;
      if (aiCount === 0) {
        clearInterval(aiInterval);
      } }, 1000)

Also you should use let and const for all variables and stay the hell away from var.

Pls explain this

>>61890843
let and const fulfill the requirement for block-scope and global-scope variables respectively while var makes code messy, more difficult to debug and harder to understand for others because it isn't defined to scopes

>>61890585
wtf i thought you needed to be 18 to post here

>>61890958
Btw I just researched and it turns out I was completely wrong about what I just said. Just look up const and let in MDN. Basically they are intended to replace var in the future to make code easier to read.

in css is there something like the brightness filter, but for just the background-color?

>>61890958
why is this a problem as long as you aren't a retard with your variable names?

>>61879804
You can just google these things, wikipedia articles on tree traversal and binary search trees cover the relevant algorithms.

>>61890843
He doesn't know what he's talking about. Let and var are virtually identical. Var functions by creating a variable in the closes function scope, let creates a variable in the nearest block scope. The the difference is a variable defined in a for loop with `var` will exist once the loop is complete until the end of the enclosing function while if you use let it will be out of scope once execution exits the for block.

The difference is negligible, in theory let gives GC the option to collect a few vars a little earlier but in reality no one does it because running a sweep after every block exit doesn't really make sense for performance reasons. On the other hand bable has to inject a bunch of code to enforce these semantics on older JS engines and that does cost something (although not a lot).

Const is sorta useful, if you're in an ES6 environment I encourage using it where it makes sense. Using it without immutable types (any object) really limits its ability to help programmers think about code. I don't really care if a var is never reassigned if someone changes every prop on the object it points to.

Huh? Tabs work just fine for me, what you're talking about?

>>61891333
>Let and var are virtually identical
No, and there is no reason to use var anymore.

>>61891511
What is the difference beyond what I explained? Why is let significantly better than var?

>>61891367
>Is there a reason you can't just make the background color brighter?
It's for anelement that has a toggling "active" class when selected, but the different pages have their own color schemes which I want to keep, just brighten up.

>>61891796
there's `filter: brightness()` but it applies to the whole element, not just the background. And browser support isn't great.

I think the best approach is probably to just have each page define what the bright variant looks like as part of its color scheme.

Can someone explain why

js

this.navbtnToggle = function(data, index){
        console.log(data, index);
};

html

<div data-bind="foreach: markerType">
    <button class="nav-button" data-bind="click: $parent.navbtnToggle.bind($data, $index())">
      <div data-bind="style:{color:$parent.selectedColor}, text: name"></div>
    </button>
</div>

prints out the index first then the data?

Forgot to add that i'm using knockoutjs.

whats the point of using a getter?

let obj1 = {
  log: ["zzz"],

  // getter
  get items() {
    if (this.log.length === 0) {
      return "empty items";
    }
    return this.log;
  },

  // same as getter above
  getitems: function() {
    if (this.log.length === 0) {
      return "empty items";
    }
    return this.log;
  }
}

console.log(obj1.items); // ["zzz"]

obj1.log = [];

console.log(obj1.items); // "empty items"

Is knockoutjs bad?

>>61891599
let is block-scoped. it "lets" you create variables with similar names as long as they're on a different block. it makes your variables more controlled. it also prevents other indians from stealing your vars in other modules

>>61893482
The first argument to `.bind()` will be the value of `this` when the function is evaluated, the second argument to bind will be the first to the function, third to bind second to function etc.

ko style is to refer to the current element's data by `this`, but if you don't like that you could do this instead:

data-bind="click: $parent.navbtnToggle.bind($parent, $data, $index())"

The example in the docs isn't terribly clear on this which is unfortunate. Good job picking KO btw, it's one of my favorite libs :)

>>61893561
>>61893707
No, knockout is one of the few libraries in the MVVM space that doesn't tard out and try to build a colossal lock-in ecosystem. It does one thing and it doesn't it well. It doesn't ship with a testing framework or a state container or a services framework ala React, Angular et. al. It does dependency-tracked DOM re-rendering and it does it damn well.

>>61893745
>let is block-scoped.
Yes, that's what I said earlier. I questioned the usefulness of block scoping over function scoping and pointed out the cost of supporting it in today's environment.

>it "lets" you create variables with similar names as long as they're on a different block.
And var does the same thing, as long as such variables are in a different function. Reusing the same variable name in the same lexical context is like punching readability in the dick though and shouldn't be done either way.

>it makes your variables more controlled.
Yeah and line-scoped variables would be more controlled too but that doesn't make it a good thing.

>it also prevents other indians from stealing your vars in other modules
You don't know how var works

I mean christ, why do people bandwagon every ES6+ feature that gets shit out of commitee hell without even knowing what they do? You can think these bad ideas are good ones, if you want, but at least try to understand what they are first, christ.

Hey guys, arrow functions! Isn't this great! Arrow functions cure cancer! It's not like every dev who's worked with JS for two days knows how to get the exact same semantics as arrow functions since javascript has been a thing.

I have a few sites I've programmed but never deployed, and now I'm trying to put up a portfolio together. I don't want to pay a separate domain name for each one of them. Is it ok to do just 1 site with my name on it, and stick all the websites in there? Like this:

>www.mypersonalsite.com/site1
>www.mypersonalsite.com/site2
>www.mypersonalsite.com/site3
etc

>>61896663
For a portfolio, that's fine.

>>61896663
Its okay, but sub domains look nicer imo.

site2.domain.com

You can do this easily in cPanel, or if you are doing apache/ngix look at "Digital Ocean Virtual Host for x"

Wait... so the order of the data-bind matters?

>>61893482
Function.bind takes a this parameter followed by partial parameters to prepend when the resulting function is called.

var fun = function(a, b) {
  console.log(a, b);
}
var bound = fun.bind(document, "blah")
bound("data", "index")

calls

fun("blah","data","index")

with this equal to document.
Lose the .bind call or just do

data-bind="click: $parent.navBtnToggle"

Is there a way to store a setInterval() function not to call immediately but to call later on?

setinterval always waits for the time specified to pass first.
If you want it to start even later just put it in another setTimeout() ?

I'm using a function because I want to make a toggle switch using knockoutJS similar to.this jsfiddle.

HTML

<button data-bind="event:{click:UpdateColor}">Update Color</buttom>
<div data-bind="style:{background:selectedColor}, text:selectedColor"></div> 

JS

var color = ["Grey", "White"];

var data = [];
data.remainder = ko.observable(0)
data.selectedColor =  ko.observable(color[0]);

data.UpdateColor = function(){
    data.remainder((data.remainder()+1)%2);
    data.selectedColor(color[data.remainder()]);
}
ko.applyBindings(data);

I'm trying to make a group of buttons though, but I have no idea how to change the observableArray once it's been set :\

this.markerType = ko.observableArray([
        { name: 'foo1', tglStatus: 0},
        { name: 'foo2', tglStatus: 0},
        { name: 'foo3', tglStatus: 0},
        { name: 'foo4', tglStatus: 0},
        { name: 'foo5', tglStatus: 0}
]);
    
this.navbtnToggle = function(data, index){
        this.remainder((this.remainder() + 1) % 2);
        this.selectedColor(onoff[this.remainder()]);

        console.log(index, data);
};
