JavaScript Basic: Six Most Simple Array Methods Make Our Life Easier

Arrays come with many built-in methods, and I just learn six most simple methods that can make our life easier.

Push

We use push to add to the end of an array.

For example, if I want to add another letter at the end of array, instead of write letters[4], I can write:

Image an array contains 100+ data, we don't have to count index every time we want to add a new data in the array.

Pop

We use pop to remove the last item in an array.

If I want to remove the letter "D" from the array, I can write:

Unshift

We use unshift to add a new item to the front of an array.

Instead of add letter "E" at the end of the array, I can add "E" in front of the "A".

Shift

We use shift to remove the first item in an array.

If I want to remove the letter "A" in the array, I can write:

IndexOf()

We use indexOf() to find the index of an item in an array.

If I want to find the index of letter "C", I can write:

It gives us the index of "C" is 2. If I want to find an element which is not present in the array such as "M", it will return as -1.

Slice

We use slice() to copy parts of an array.

If I want to use slice to copy the 2nd and 3d letters which are "B" and "C", I need to specify index where the new array starts (1 "B") and ends (3 "D").

It won't alter the original letter array. If we want to copy the entire array, we can just write:

var seondLetters = letters.slice();

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 ...

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...
