JavaScript Basic: Three Conditional Keywords You Should Know


JavaScript conditionals is how you add logic to your programming and help you make decisions with code.

For example, when we shop online and ready to pay our items, we will enter our credit card number, if our information is correct, it will match the code, and we will receive a confirmation message. If our credit card information is wrong, the code will send us an error message.

There are three JS conditional keywords: If, Else If, and Else.

How do we use those conditional keywords in JavaScript?

If

For example, if the website wants to send an message about your age is younger than 18, you can't enter the bar.

if (age < 18) {
console.log("Sorry, you are not old enough to enter the venue.");
}

Else If


If your age is older than 18 but younger than 21, you can enter the bar but can not drink.

else if (age < 21) {
console.log("You can enter, but can not drink.");
}

Else

If your age is older than 21, feel free to drink.

else {
console.log("Come on in. Enjoy the drink.");
}

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...

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...

Intermediate CSS: Three Steps To Create A Photo Gallery

I have seen many image blogs these years. People love to post their photos online to express life and feeling.  Image is powerful because it could bring a visual story to audience. People can see what you see, and may be feel the same way as you feel, too. If we want to build our own photo gallery, what should we do? Luckily, the boot-camp instructor just showed me how to use HTML and CSS to create a simple photo gallery.  I would love to share my study note here. (p.s. all the image links are provided by Udemy course instructor) Step One: Add Image Links on HTMLPage The instructor provides all the image links. All we need to do is add those links inside the <img> tag. Without CSS, the page will looks like this: they are not organized, and sizes are different, too. Step Two: Set Image Property Values We set the width of each photo the same value which is 30%, so there will be three images per line. The percentage value can help...
