JavaScript Basic: Study Notes For Arrays

Array is our first data structure.

An array lets us to group data in a list.

For example, we have a group letters A, B, C, D.

var letter = "A";
var letter = "B";
var letter = "C";
var letter = "D";

Those letter variables repeat too much, and we don't want it. Rather than having four separate variables, we can write one variable and inside of it we store those four variables.

var letters = ["A", "B", "C", "D"]; //this is array (// means comment)

Array are indexed starting at 0.

Every slot has a corresponding number. "A" (0), "B" (1), "C" (2), and "D" (3).

We can use those indices to retrieve data. If we want to get "A" out of the array, we need to know the index of "A" which is 0.

We can use the indices to update array value. If I want to change the "A" to "M", I can just write like this:

We can also use the indices to add a new data. If I want to add a 5th letter "E" in the array, I will write:

We just need to give the new index and give the new value for this index.

Arrays can hold any type of data, too.

var whatever = [ 40, true, "Happy", null];

At the end, arrays have a length property.

If we want to count how many numbers inside an array, we can use length property to figure it out.

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...

Seven Most Common jQuery Methods Last Part: ADD/REMOVE/TOGGLE CLASS()

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"). I do the same thing to the list. I change the list color and add a background color by adding the class two style value: $("li").addClass("two") . .toggleClass() According to jQuery, toggerClass method can add or remove one or more classes from each element in the set of matched elements, depending on either the class's presence or the value of the state argument. I only want to change the first list item color and background by writing: $("li").first().toggleClas...

Intro to Backend: Is Browser The Only Place To Send HTTP Request?

Today, I begin to learn the second part of web develop course: backend. Frontend is the stuff that we can see and interactive with, such as HTML, CSS, and JS. We can type our code, style our page, or write some function to make interaction. However, backend is everything else. For example, we type Target web address in the Internet Browser. As we hit "enter", there are a few steps to go through: 1. The HTTP request is sent to a particular server's IP address. 2. The server figures out what to send us 3. It sends a HTTP response back to us Those process we are hard to see, and it happens in less than one second. The instructor said that the browser is not the only place to send the HTTP request, and there are so many choices out there. In this learning course, we are going to use Postman App . Postman allows us to make HTTP requests and viewer responses. It is really for developers to understand how things are working or debug something. In the P...
