Bootstrap Project Study: Create A Fancy Image Gallery in Details


I have shared how to apply Bootstrap code to create Nav-bar, Jumbotron, and Grid System in previous posts, so today I am going to use all my bootstrap learning to create a Image Gallery.



This is also a Udemy course project, so some image links are provided by instructor. I would like to share the project process here.

Add Bootstrap CSS & Java Script Links

I start to create a HTML page and link to the Bootstrap CSS code. At the bottom of <body>, I also add the Java Script and J Query links, so it will make sure the page is following the certain rule.


Create A Jumbotron

 I apply the Jumbotron code in the HTML, and add h1 header as "The Image Gallery" and a short paragraph to describe what this site is about.


By the way, just make sure the Jumbotron code is inside the "container", so everything will be moved to the center of the page.

Add A Nav-Bar

I just copy my old nav-bar code from previous Nav-bar exercise, but I make two changes. 
  • In the first <nav> element class attribute value, I change "navbar-default" to "navbar-inverse". It will give a black nav-bar. (To be honest, I prefer the default one. The instructor let us to try this way, it is worth to learn.)
  • Inside the <a> element, I edit the website name "Image Gallery Exercise"



The result:


Add Image Link In The Grid System

It' s time to add images in the grid system. For large size device, I would like to show three images per row, so each image will take 4 columns. As I shrink to the medium size, I want two images per line, so each image takes 6 columns.


In order to make all the image fit in the same shape, the instructor taught us to use "thumbnail" class value. 


Then, I make six copies of the code, and edit the image links. Since I want all the images align with the Jumbotron, I move the grid codes inside the "container".




Add Camera Icon

The instructor also show us how to add icon on the HTML. I insert the camera icon code from bootstrap components in front of "The Image Gallery" text. 


The result:


Make Our Own CSS Style

I want to add some space between the nav-bar and jumbotron, so I add some top-padding value.


The result:


Then I can change the jumbotron text color and navbar background color.


The result:



Test The Nav-bar

Finally, I need to test whether the nav-bar work. I shrink the window to the small size, the nav-bar is hided in the hamburger icon. As I click the icon, all the content shows up. 


The final image gallery page:

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...

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").

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...
