Bootstrap 4: Three Steps To Create A Fancy Pattern Card Page

Today, I learned how to add picture card on the page. The Udemy course shows a simple pattern project to demonstrate it. Then, I follow the instructor's steps and create my own pattern page.

Step One: Create Simple Nav Bar

On the top of page, we need to create a nav. Inside the <nav> tag, I set the background color (bg-dark) and navbar color (navbar-dark). You can always change your background color to light or any other choices.

The instructor showed us how to install an icon from Font Awesome. Basically, you find your ideal icon from their icon page and copy the tag and paste in your HTML.

Moreover, we also need to add a support link from Font Awesome Start Page inside header tag, so the icon tag will work.

The result: dark nav bar with a small icon in front of the brand name.

Step Two: Create A Jumbotron

We create a Jumbotron, and inside it we adding the header text, paragraph text and two small buttons. All the button class value are selected from Bootstrap 4 Button Code.

We also want to add a pattern image background for the Jumbotron, so we create a simple <style> and set the ID selector "header" background image.

Normally, we create another CSS file to do it, but this is the only CSS part for this project, so we just add it in the HTML page.

The result:

Step Three: Add Card Image

Bootstrap 4 add a brand new card component. We will use the basic card style which has top image and some body text.

We add an card top image first by adding the image link in the card.

The result:

By following the card code, we add the the card title, card text, and two buttons under the top image. One of the buttons is the icon from Font Awesome.

Since the card is too large on the page, we don't have enough space for the other two cards. We set the grid class value "col-lg-4" to let the card only scale 4 columns for the large device size.

The result: The card becomes smaller and only accounts for 1/3 of the page.

Then, we copy the card twice inside the container, and update the top image links and card title. At the end, the final page looks a lot attractive.

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.

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 ...

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....
