Bootstrap 4: Navs in Flex


I mentioned that flex box allows items to move inside a container. In the last post, I use buttons as an example to show how do those buttons move in the flex box. Today, I learned navs can also move in a flex box.

I would love to share my study note here.

Firstly, I copy the Bootstrap 4 starter template on the editor, and also put the base nav code in the body.


In order to show how navs move in the flex, I add a border outside the navs. The result shows a base nav bar inside a box.

Move in Row


Then, I want to add some space between each nav items, so I set "justify-content-around" value in the <ul>.


The result:
You can also move the items to the right (justify-content-end) or to the center (justify-content-center).

Move Vertically

If I want to show my nav bar vertically, I can just simple set "flex-column" value.


The result:

 Responsive Nav

If I want the nav bar change from the horizontal to vertical as the page changes to a smaller size, I can add "flex-sm-row align-items-center" next to the "flex-column" value.


The result:

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.

Seven Most Common jQuery Methods Last Part: ADD/REMOVE/TOGGLE CLASS()

Add, remove and toggleClass is also a very common way to manipulate style. .addClass() and .removeClass() I add two class selector in the style tag. Class one is to change text color to be green, and class two is change both text and background color.  Now I refresh the page and change h1 text to green by using addClass() method: $("h1").addClass("one") .  If you want to remove the style, you can change it to removeClass("one"). I do the same thing to the list. I change the list color and add a background color by adding the class two style value: $("li").addClass("two") . .toggleClass()  According to jQuery, toggerClass method can add or remove one or more classes from each element in the set of matched elements, depending on either the class's presence or the value of the state argument.

My Story: A Mommy Start To Learn Code From Zero

From Google Image I am not a programmer, and I thought I would never become one. Everytime I see someone is coding, I think he or she must be very talent.  For me, coding is a very difficult subject to learn. Not only the language has so many rules, but also the logical reasoning behind the language is complex.  In my graduated school, I knew many friends who didn't have any coding background, but they are doing programmer or developer jobs now. Some of them went to school to study coding, and some of them  learned to code by themselves. Their stories are so impressive.  I wasn't ready to learn code until I finished my first Chinese book "留学,我的青春呀!" recently. I always want to be a writer and write my own book. I started writing blog three years ago, and I updated my post two to three times every week. As I enjoyed writing , I started to get some followers, likes, and good comments on my blog. Then, I decided to plan my first book. My First...
