Bootstrap: Play With Grid System (Part One)

According to Bootstrap, grid systems are used for creating page layouts through a series of rows and columns that house your content. Bootstrap includes a responsive, mobile first fluid grid system that appropriately scales up to 12 columns as the device or viewport size increases.

There are four main grid sizes:

Extra Small devices (col-xs-): phone
Small devices (col-sm-): tablet
Medium devices (col-md-): desktops
Large devices (col-lg-): desktops

The instructor shows us how to build a responsive grid system.

After we link the bootstrap css file, we are going to create the grid system on the body part. Since grid systems only scale up to 12 columns, we can create layouts in different units.

In the HTML, we create a "container" first, so the grid system will be inside the container.

Then we create a class attribute value equal "row" in the div tag, so all units will stay in one row just like the table data stay in the table row. And each row scales 12 columns (units).

In the first row, we create three cells. The first cell and the last cell have the same size and units which are "col-lg-2". It means that each cell is large size and scales two columns. The middle cell is also large size but scales 8 columns. The sum of these three cell columns is 12.

For the second row, we create three same size and unit cells. They are all large size, and each will take four units.

In order to compare these two rows, I assign them in different colors in the CSS. The first row is pink, and the second row is orange.

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. 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...

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....
