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.

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...
