/wdg/ Web Development General - How do I shot web edition

has anyone got experience with material UI? is it worth learning or am i better just using raw css and html and making my own custom components?

No worries, your info dump was already really helpful.

If I make it, and I fucking with I do, I just want to thank everyone that helped, and tell those who doubted me to choke on my dick.

There was a thing called SCSS right? it's not just SASS, right? Anyways what are good themeable CSS "frameworks"?

Sass uses significant whitespace aka required indents, and also doesn't use semicolons.

SCSS, or Sassy CSS does use semicolons and curly braces, which makes it a superset of CSS. I.e. any valid CSS is valid SCSS. (But not all SCSS is valid regular CSS, because of the variables it uses, and other Sass features.)

They both compile to CSS, so which one you use is personal preference.

why can't I find shit googleing SCSS? All I find is SASS

what I mean is... link to SCSS? I can't seem to find it.

Does anyone here have any strong opinions on styled-components? They're teaching it in my class and I was wondering what /wdg/ thought about it.
Asked this last thread but it got archived

Learn to properly search for information without giving up after 3 minutes, mong, it's going to come in handy when you are trying to solve more complex problems, which is basically what you are doing all the time when programming.

Searching for and appreciating the difference between SASS and SCSS and ways of compiling them would be a good enough start.

sass-lang.com/documentation/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html#syntax

SCSS is part of the Sass project as a whole, so the documentation is on the Sass site:
sass-lang.com/guide

Each code sample lets you choose between a Sass versions and an SCSS version.

>sass-lang.com
I'm completely mindfucked, is it a SASS sideproject?
I see, now I get it

so much shit for a CSS framework

I'm not sure if this is what you're asserting, but Sass/SCSS isn't a CSS framework, it's a CSS preprocessor. It just adds some features like (compile-time) variables, and precalculated math.

A CSS framework like Bootstrap or Bulma generally prescribes some structure on your site, giving you a boilerplate/base to build off of.

thanks for the correction

How do I front-end?
I know how to code and mostly I've worked with backend (PHP and Python) and databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL) stuff.
I use Javascript too but when it comes to CSS I can't do shit with it. Any good suggestions in how to get good at front?

>Any good suggestions in how to get good at front?

I'm just learning but the thing that worked best for me was actually making shit. Do some basic tutorials then start building shit.

build a portfolio site, you'll learn a ton from it, specially if you are autistic with your design choices, since I predict you must be a design brainlet I recommend you find a good portfolio of someone and copy it. You can pull the HTML/CSS from them, form them tewak it till it becomes you own. Just copy shit form people that looks good.

Apart from "just learning" HTML/CSS and extensions thereof, you should get an understanding of what constitutes good design, i.e. fields like typography.

>what constitutes good design, i.e. fields like typography
just use Raleway LMFAO, but no, seriously, being gud at this is hard man.

Disclaimer: I barely know anything about webdev.

I have this huge ass JavaScript file (ca. 50k lines) that gets run as an embedded web application (game UI). I'm wondering how I could go about debugging this, as the game obviously doesn't have any JavaScript debugger itself.

Also, are there any good JavaScript IDEs out there? It's a pain in the ass dealing with this many lines.

The catgirl in pic related WILL be your gf if you help me out.

What is the best JS library out there for setting up a calendar with days of the week laid out in a neat grid, week-by-week, starting from the current date

That seems to be for individual features. I was thinking something copy+paste a script, and it tells you waht wouldn't work in internet explorer 6 or whatever

Youll be fine. It's not like you'll notice the difference.

How did you fare?

do you think she'll masturbate thinking about you tonight user?

>"Well I have TextEdit, can I use that?"
Lol, I used TextEdit for a while back when I was first learning to code. You'll get fucked over by smart quotes and a few other "helpful" features unless you explicitly turn those off.

You should write middle Earth fanfic user

Wait are you trying to debug your own code or someone else's?

If it's someone else's it's probably that big because it was minified+combined precisely to make it hard for people to debug.

If it's your own code... dude what the fuck?
I hate people using memeworks like Angular for small projects, but your use case warrants it. At the very least look into RequireJS or Webpack so you can split it into multiple files.

As for debuggers, the Chrome debuggers is just as good as any conventional one. But debugging any 50k line file will suck on any debugger for any language.

Which loonix distro are you using?

>someone how knows nothing about php

fucking change pizzas to pizza already

redpill me on php
why should I use it over other languages like python, C#, java, etc?

look at what better designers are doing and take try to implement it in your code
i.e. go to dribbble.com and try recreating the things you see

not my web, I use it as an example since I'm working with that theme

Anyone know why changes to $_SESSION would, out of no where stop, stop updating?

Im trying to change set some session variables from json for my web app, and I create a new one and echo its contents (to test it) and nothing comes out. Even worse, when I delete another, older, session variable it does get deleted from the session temp file.

What gives?

how do i get browser history from a standalone app?

what the fuck are you talking about

You shouldn't.

I've been programming on my X62 using sway and vim on planes for months now, and not one normie has told a stewardess that I'm a terrorist. I gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed.

I don't use php but lately in my country companies started to hire people with knowledge of php and meme frameworks like Laravel.

I was asking because I haven't used it in 8+ years and i remember it was a fucking mess. What changes did php have in near a decade to the point medium and big companies are hiring php developers

you know how browsers can import preferences, history, bookmarks, etc. from another browser? do you know of any libraries that can help me accomplish this in my own app?

chrome history is stored in a sqlite database

They're both unnecessary bloat since you can just use javascript to scope and control your CSS

Which you should using SCSS syntax in styled-components or the likes thereof.

What? How is server-side preprocessing more bloat than introducing JavaScript into your styling?

Got a chip8 emulator made in C and SDL1 compiled to web assembly, and I've made a snake and sokoban game made for it using the chip8 spec that finally works on the browser

cool i wanna see that shit

I'll get this into a webm, currently the gif is like half the actual speed, and there's a beeping sound whenever the snake eats

Do you want the picture to be above the slider or within the slider, sliding with the text?

Now you just need some sfx that don't suck haha.

lel I agree

I want to make a simple room system in node so that if you go into a room by URL such as site.com/r/myroom you can be in a chat room with other people.

What's the best way to go about this with socket.io?

Bamp

nice, guessing you did this via HTML5 canvas, right?

Yep, basically what this guy did:
github.com/timhutton/sdl-canvas-wasm
without the text, and with a black border

Nice! So you're doing it through wasm? I wanna get in to that too. I started making a canvas drawing game with typescript a while ago but got bored lol

Attached: .gif (821x615, 68K)

Yeah through wasm, I don't know much about canvas, other than using js libraries that draw to it lol, but I feel like implementing what you've got in C/C++ might be a lot trickier than what you've done in js, but if you have other ideas, go for it dude

SDL is really simple to work with, even if you have little to no experience in it or C/C++/Rust, it shouldn't take long to get into it

anyone here ever made a chrome extension?

I want the extension to click a specific button inside the webpage I'm on after I click my popup,
so (extension poput gets clicked anywhere) -> (button with id 'submit' should be triggered on the webpage)

my popup.json:

document.addEventListener('click', function() {
$("#submit")[0].trigger("click");
});

this doesn't do anything, how do I do it correctly?

a picture is worth a thousand words

man react context fucking sucks dude, why can't it just be slightly different? literally all most people want to do is have a global state store and pull from it, fuck me man

Attached: pic.png (257x127, 5K)

>using Jquery in a chrome extension

The $ you're using is a Jquery thing which I don't think Extensions support, since they I assume activate before the webpage starts. Try using queryselector or getelementbyID and see if it works.

developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/querySelector

Don't use jQuery for that, holy shit.

Can't you just have one single react context and use that everywhere?

What should my priorities be when preparing to look for an entry level job? Technical interview questions, adding projects to my portfolio, learning desirable skills/tech?

I found my first job at a school job fair and got it after 1 simple interview, but it was a java codemonkey position, so I feel like I don't know shit.

I'm trying to build a animated accordion with vue.js following
markus.oberlehner.net/blog/transition-to-height-auto-with-vue/
this guide along.

The 'expand' transition works flawlessly all the time. However the shrinking only works if I trigger it really fast after expanding the element. If I wait like 3 seconds, it just snaps back close without any transition at all.

Anyone experienced that behavior before?

Attached: forlorn woods.png (1000x400, 600K)

Depends on language really.

When I got started with a python job, I had to know the intricacies of the language even down to how it works in memory, though later interviews weren't as in-depth as my first.

In terms of projects, I had really interesting, unique ones, language interpreters, compilers, coding competition solutions, even a virtual machine. Show something that looks like you didnt just copy-paste a bunch of stuff together, but had a general interest in programming

You definitely want to learn the desirable 3rd party-kinda tech that your language is involved with. Like with python, it was Django. You want to brush on the basics of each component of these techs.

the absolute state of webdev

Appreciate the reply. It's not my code.

The issue is that the game exe provides a certain environment for the JS code to run in (I believe), so it doesn't run the same in a browser as it would in the game, which is why I'd have to debug it with something embedded into the page. Wondering if that's possible.

I had a look through the file and about a third are jquery functions, then there's different namespaces annotated with @MODULE x. Would these be good to split into multiple files?

>docs say an array of items is returned in a particular field
>write some functions to handle some events
>go to test scenario
>actually fires an event and returns a singleton array for every single fucking item
>also returns an empty array at the end
what the fuck. why would you even need to use an array if you're never going to put more than one item inside it!?

What's the best way to position a small 'X' icon in the top right corner of a (already rather small) div element, as the usual 'click here and it goes away' sort of button.

you can use jquery in chrome extensions. you've got to specify it in the manifest.

to be fair, there might be a whole slew of other things in the script.

i think you need to modify manifest.json to
...
"content_scripts": [ {
...
"run_at": "document_end"
...

or one of these
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", foo);
window.addEventListener('load', foo);
window.attachEvent('onload', foo);

also depending on how the content is loaded on the site, for example, if a bunch of scripts pull shit in or it uses html5's push state, you may need to setup a function that repeats after a timeout until the element you want exists.

also from your description it seems you're displacing the action of clicking a submit button with clicking an extension icon, which doesn't seem very useful. wat do.

yeah, ofcourse I'm new to this (and webdev in general)
..what I needed to do was send a message from popup.js to content.js (because popup can't access the content) and than use document.querySelector

does the element have a title?
then flexbox it to the right of the title, otherwise position it absolute.

That worked thanks. I had to set the containing div to position:relative but I guess that does nothing on it's own.

Fuck that. No matter what happens, PHP will never get rid of its terrible reputation. I had a job in Laravel for a few months and even though it is not a bad framework at all, people have always looked down on PHP developers. Also, it's a shit fucking language.

Learn Python and Django. Especially Python will serve you well for a long time and give you some interesting job opportunities.

Ruby on Rails is great as well, but it has a very uncertain future, because it is a hipster framework, and hipsters are migrating to Express, which is shit.
