has anybody here successfully tested promises tdd/bdd style in the browser?
what did you use? how did you set it up? do you have a github link?
trying to get mocha/chai/chai-as-promised to run but I feel like none of this is made for the front end.

test driven development
it keeps your code lean, and prevents regression bugs.

you guys know where I can find a highly customizable wordpress theme that's ACTUALLY free? no "pro" or "premium" features bullshit?

you feel better about yourself now? I'm trying to get help here. If you're gonna be an ass please don't waste my time. If you wanna help, I'm listening. I JUST WANT A FUCKING SIMPLE WEBSITE WHERE I CAN DO THE MOST SIMPLE STUPID SHIT LIKE CHANGING FONTS AND COLORS WITHOUT HAVING TO FALL FOR SOME STUPID ASS PREMIUM VERSION CRAP WTF HAPPENED TO WORDPRESS IT WASN'T LIKE THIS JUST A COUPLE YEARS AGO.
Justin Sanders
fonts and colors can always be changed with css.
Hunter Gutierrez
I hate tdd for front end. I write tests for functions that do fancy things behind the scenes but e2e tests really make more sense on the front-end.
Connor Perez
This is WDG. Not "give me free shit guys!" general. Fuck off, or learn CSS

well what do you know, Jow Forums proves once again to be little more than a pedophile hangout. Fuck you all to hell.

When should I use flexbox over grid in CSS? So far, CSS Grid makes way easier to work with layouts
Luis Bennett
when you want to support old IE and when you want/have to use a popular framework like bootstrap or bulma
Nathan Howard
I just started using Next. What kind of retard decided mixing business logic with presentation was a good idea? We have had the idea of MVC since the 70s. What the hell is with "getInitialProps" and why is it in the same file as my HTML?
Josiah Jenkins
>I hate tdd for front end. I don't understand why there's no tooling for this.
does everybody just eyeball it? or leave testing to the client?
Eli Fisher
any good tutorial or article about css layouts? i want to know what are the best practices and stuff
Owen Wright
>tdd for front end
just use modules, and css-in-js. thats as far as tdd goes for front end.
also helps if you start from a agnostic 'framework' like rebass. rather than mystery code bootstrap
Carson Kelly
TDD is a dead meme that has repeatedly shown to slow down development for little to no gains.
Just let the Q&A people do their jobs.
Dominic Anderson
What would you pay for / do with the domain "pdf.XX", where "XX" is a two-letter ccTLD? Assuming you got it for free and it had just been sitting empty forever. wwyd?

So what are you going to do when you end up with an entire project that is of critical importance, and you just go in and start changing shit hoping it works?

I have tried React, Vue, and Angular. Here's my opinion:
>Angular is the best >I love Angular and Vue >React is not for me >Vue is great for small to medium projects, it's kind of Angular with less loc >Angular is still the best
Kevin Powell
I agree. Retards keep screaming on and on about how Angular is supposedly dead, but its architecture is dead simple and performance is above the alternatives.
I had all my files and app working as expected on localhost. As soon as I uploaded it on hosting server the app only loads home index.php, one controller(pages) and nothing else. I wrote to host provider and he said that they support fully .htaccess . The thing is, if there was something wrong with the code it would have wouldn't have worked in the first place on localhost, so I have no idea what to do. my 3 .ht access files in pic if anyone cares.
What's the servers file structure? Is /public the configured server root? Are you in a sub directory? The RewriteBase is probably wrong.

Most all forums in the limelight manipulate/game the system in one way or another... Why do you think /dpt/ have the same posts early in every thread.
Juan Foster
i know backend stuff php/laravel i was thinking now to learn some front end meme is react the hot shit now? is it a good choice?
David Phillips
>is react the hot shit now? is it a good choice? no, go learn Vue (don't trust me, I just want less react developers to compete against me on the job market)
Jacob Cooper
i will learn both ahahahhahah
Nolan Garcia
I guess if you have elements, that don't have one specific screen area assigned to them, but rather should individually resize depending on the width/height available in the parent element. Like some nav bar links for example. Imo any time you have a sequence of elements, that you don't need to distribute in specific 2D areas of the screen. Isn't Next just for easier server-side rendering? Component logic and behavior should be the exact same as a clientside SPA, just with a different structure in your code and different lifecycle hooks. At least that was my impression from using Nuxt. css-tricks.com/ has some good stuff
Colton Rivera
I also prefer Vue over React, though haven't really tried Angular yet. Had some issues with the setup inside Win WSL back then. What are the primary things you like better in Angular?
'sup /wdg/, any good books on agile stuff like SCRUM or XP?

Flexbox is for 1D layouts, grid is for 2D layouts, both are good, use both (unless browser compatibly is the slightest bit important to you - then don't use grid)
Julian Torres
Grid sacrifices compatibility with IE, so you should keep that in mind. Grid is supposed to be used for layouts where elements of the layout change their position drastically in media queries (as in are not possible without grid), that's when you use grid. And, when using grid you should always design a base design (probably based on mobile layout) to fall back to if the browser doesn't accept grid. This vid knows more than I can tell you about it:

So...CSS Grid is fucking useless?
Oliver Parker
At some point IE will update their shit, and support Grid, by then the % share of old IE will drop and then some companies will consider using grid. Also you can code a fallback non grid style and a grid style on top of it for compatibility.
Jeremiah Thomas
IE is not adding any new features and hasn't for years
Zachary Hernandez
>At some point IE will update their shit That would be Edge. Anyway, you can still use Grid, and if someone really uses IE, you can just test if grid is supported in CSS and if not just show them a less featured stacked version of the site.
I've heard they're dropping IE for Chromium, in that case we have to wait for Chromium to take over.
Oliver Murphy
>you can just test if grid is supported in CSS and if not just show them a less featured stacked version of the site. That's really interesting, what kind of technology do you use for that? I only know of wurfl, bu that might be outdated, what does people use nowdays?
Charles Green
They're not dropping IE, it's Edge that's going to be based on Chromium now but they'll keep IE11 for legacy reasons
If you're not using a framework, how do you generate HTML through JS? I see people writing HTML strings and then appending them to the DOM, but that is damn ugly, and often hard to read. I want to write HTML partials and populate it with a templating engine, but I'm not sure it that's the best practice. Also possible bloat.
Jordan Hall
Is there any workaround to absolutely positioned elements not showing, when the parent has any hidden overflow set?
jsfiddle.net/ocab6mpj/1/ overflow-x is set to hidden, yet any absolute content above and below is hidden as well.
Colton Reed
What's /wdg/'s preference for hosting?
Levi Adams
hosting for what kind of thing?
Aiden Fisher
A site running on Node/MySQL.
Alexander Green
VPS then or are you looking for something more managed like Heroku? I usually go with Vultr or Scaleway, but DigitalOcean is also good of course.
Noah Anderson
Is there a way to blend the bottom of one div background color with the top of the next?
> Isn't Next just for easier server-side rendering? I'd assume a framework that's built around SSR would have a place to put business logic. But getInitialProps is fucking stupid
Daniel Torres
I mean, two gradients is super easy. Could even just use one depending on the look you're trying to establish. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Images/Using_CSS_gradients All other methods will likely result in needing to add another element to make the transition less blunt.

Had to use that for a client once, might be useful if they want to change small stuff on their own, but you're sacrificing a lot for it. It's basically Wix for backend.
Charles Smith
is it worth trying out the services on low end box or is it a gamble?
They're usually fine, but read the comments and don't go all in on recently started companies, I'd say if they've been in business for at least a year and the comments aren't complaining too much you'll survive, just keep backups.
Nathaniel Kelly
Ah, I didn't realize that was the name of the site. I haven't used it before, but glancing at it, it seems like it could be a gamble. I would do additional research on ones that seem like a good deal and have at least a few comments attesting that it works alright.
