JavaScript Project Study: How To Create A Simple Todo List APP?

After I learned JavaScript loop and array, it's time to implement those codes into a simple project and see how it works.

The course instructor leads us to create a small To Do List APP. Basically, when we open the web page, it will pop up a question:"What would you like to do?". Then we enter "new" and add a todo. If we want to check our todo list, we need to enter "list", so we can see our todos are stored in the console. The question will ask you again and again until you enter "quit" to end it.

We create a HTML page and link to a separate JS file.

In the JS file, we start to write a todos array. We leave the empty[] since we will enter data through the pop up question window.

Then, we create the pop up window by writing a prompt("What would you like to do?"

So when we open the web page, it will pop up this question to ask you to enter your todos.

Next, we use while loop to let the site keep asking the question until we enter "quit". Therefore, we give a condition for while: if input is not equal to "quit", as we enter "list", print out our todo list.

Then, we want to add a new item as we enter "new". Therefore, we use else if to create a new condition:

ask for a new todo by writing a new prompt
use push method to add new items at the end of the array
ask again for new input

If we want to end the question, we can enter "quit".

When I see the question, I enter "new" first to ready to enter a new thing.

Then I see "Enter new todo", I enter shopping. Later on, I enter another new thing "walking".

I want to check the list later, so I enter "list".

Then, I end the question by entering "quit".

At the end, I open the console to check the result: two todo things and a message about quit the APP.

GIT Study Note: Six Git Commands You Should Know!

What is Git? According to Git website , Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Basically, we can use Git to track all of changes and revert them back if we made mistakes. The version control system is a way for us to work with different versions of our code, so that we can save different features and make notes as we progress. It is also very useful for team collaboration. Six Git Command You Should Know 1. Git Init In our server, we need to create a "Git" directory and inside of "Git", we make another direcory "git_inro". Then, we add a file "app,js" in the "git_intro" folder. The first thing we need to run is "git init" . When we run git init, it will make a directory which is hidden called ".git". Wherever I run that git init command, it's going to track all of our changes. ...

Intermediate Express.js: How To Render HTML From A EJS File?

The Express.js apps we have developed so far are just simply getting requests from users and sending matched message back to them. However, it is not what we want in the real web application. In most case, we want to send back a relevant web page when our app receives request from user. In order to do that, we need to npm install ejs file in the Express, create HTML page in the ejs file, and render HTMl from the ejs file. I know it sounds confuse now. I am going to explain more details in the example. EJS stands for embedded JavaScript. It lets us embed JavaScript code variables if statements loops inside of HTML. How to render HTML from a EJS file? Step One: Create a HTML page in EJS file Firstly, in our server, we create a folder named "EJSDemo". In this folder, we touch two files, one is "app.js", and the other one is "home.ejs". We are going to write a simple HTML code in the "home.ejs" file. The instructor create a dog page,...

Intro To Authentication: Three Useful Tools Will Make Everything Easier

Authentication is very important for both users and websites. It helps to keep users' information safe and also helps us to manage the accounts. Authentication is also complex because there is a lot of moving pieces that have to fit together in just the right way to make that work. The course introduce three tools to make authentication more quickly and safely. 1. Passport.js Passport.js will make our life easier and make our code shorter. It also helps to make implementation faster. Most importantly, it is used a lot in the real word. 2. Passport Local Passport Local is for username and password. It's about providing this entry point into all sorts of destinations. 3. Passport Local Mongoose This package will help us implement authentication with passport, and it's specially made to work with mongoose. We are also going to use these three tools into a Secret Page App project, which will show in next few posts.
