Bootstrap: Four Steps To Create A Responsive Nav-Bar

Every website has a navigation which help direct users to the right place and find the right information.

As I am learning the code, I always want to create a navigation bar. I did tried to build nav-bar before, but I failed.

Today, the Udemy course instructor showed how to apply Bootstrap Nav-bar to create a responsive nav-bar.

Step One: Add the nav default element

We copy the <nav> with the default class attribute value on the HTML page.

On the top of the page shows a light gray area. The nav-bar content will be displayed in this area.

Step Two: Put the website name in the navbar-header

We apply the navbar-header div code in the HTML page and put the website name "My Blog" in the <a> tag.

As the result, the web page show your brand name or website name on the navi-bar.

Step Three: Create navigation list

Under the navbar-header, we give the <ul> a class attribute value "nav navbar-nav". Then, we create a short list include "Home", "About", and "Contact US". Each of them includes a hyperlink which will link to the relevant page.

The result:

Step Four: Add Collapsed Code and Hamburger Button

In order to make the nav-bar responsive, we need to add collapsed code and hamburger button code.

For example, if we want all the nav-bar list content collapse in mobile view, we need to insert the "collapse navbar-collapse" class value in the div tag between the navbar-header and the ul list code.

Then, we copy the hamburger button code from the Bootstrap default nav-bar code and insert it under the <div class="navbar-header">.

In addition, we also need to link the JS and Jquery codes to let the nav-bar take action. (The JS and Jquery code links are provided by instructor. )

The result shows a mobile view nav-bar. As I click on the right hamburger button, the list items show up.

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....
