Project Study: Four Steps To Create A Tic Tac Toe Box

Today I am going to apply CSS box into a Tic Tac Toe table. And this is the assignment from the course.

Step One: Create A HTML Table

The Tic Tac Toe is a table contains three rows and three columns.

So the table page looks like:

You can't see the table because two reasons:

1. I didn't put any table data in the <td> elements, so it is an empty table.
2. I didn't add border in the CSS.

Step Two: Set Basic Text and Table Properties

I start to move the header from the page left to the center, so I set the "text-align" property to be center.

Then I set the table margin as auto and set each td width and height to be 100px.

As the result, the table get bigger, but it is still invisible without adding borders.

Step Three: Use Class Selector to Add Vertical Border

When I was doing this assignment, I did very well on the first two steps, but I got stuck on this step.

How to add the right border on each table data box? I tried to add border on table, but it didn't seem right. I even tried to use the nth-of-type selector to select each single box, but it was still wrong. I was so struggled, so I had to watch the solution video.

The course instructor told us to add "class" in the HTML and set all the vertical and horizontal value. The second cell of each row will have a left and right vertical border, and the second row will have a horizontal top and bottom border.

In the CSS, I set the class selector ".vert" border-left and border-right to be a black solid border.

The result shows the left and right border on the second table column.

Step Four: Use Class Selector to Add Horizontal Border

The final step is to add the horizontal border for the second row of the table. We only set the top and bottom border.

The final result:

After this exercise, I realized that the hardest part is not about writing those code, but is about connecting all the code in a logical way.

Intermediate Express.Js: Write Conditions and Loops In The EJS (study note)

We continue to use the app.js which we have build to be the study example. In the last post, we only add a simple EJS tag <%= thingVar %> inside h1 tag. This will match the "thing" to any "thing" request from the user. If Statement Today, the course shows us to write a simple if statement in the EJS file. I learn to apply it to my own app. In the if statement, if users send"/wantto/workout" request, the page will show a new content "Good Idea!". We wrote the if statement in the "diet.ejs" file, and we add "<% %>" tags around the code. We have to wrap every line of JavaScript anytime JavaScript starts and ends. Moreover, you may see there are two types of ejs tags here: <%= %> The one with equal sign. According to the course, when we add equal sign, the value that is returned inside of the tag will be rendered to the HTML page. it will be added to the HTML. For example, if we write ...

Intermediate Express.js: How To Add Styles & Partials in EJS File?

So far, we only have simple HTML tags and ejs tags in each ejs file. Every template page has no style at all. And the basic HTML header and footer are also missing. Today, I learned how to add styles and partials in ejs file. Link Style Step One: Touch a Separate CSS file I create a new directory "Style" under the "EJSDemo" directory, then I add a new CSS file "app.css" inside "Style" folder. Step Two: Add app.use(express.static()) in the app.js I add app.use(express.static("style")) in the "app.js". This will tell Express.js to serve the content of "Style" directory. Step Three: Write styles in CSS file I simple give body an orange background color and set text color to be grey. Step Four: Link to CSS file in the EJS file I just add <link> tag to link the "app.css" file on the top of the h1 tag in each ejs template. As the result, when I run the app and...

Authentication Project: Secret Page App Part One (Set up & Create User Model)

So far we only write the RESTful routes to send request and redirect to the related page, but we haven't do anything about authentication. If we can sign up, login, and log out, it will make our app more meaningful. Therefore, the course shows us how to create a secret page app, which will allow us to sign up, login to a secret page, and logout. Since it requires so many pieces, I will divided this project into three parts: set up & create user model, sign up, and login/logout. In this post, I am going to show all the set up process. Set Up Step One: Install packages The first thing we are going to do to create a folder "Auth", and inside of "Auth", we need to create another folder "AuthDemo". Then we cd (change directory) to "AuthDemo". Now we can set up the actual application structure by installing a few packages: passport, passport-local, passport-local-mongoose, mongoose, express, ejs, body-parser, and express-session....
