dupersaurus posted:Yeah there's no appetite for stuff like that. If we do a test I'd argue for giving them a small app that functions but violates good practices in places, and have them work/talk through identifying and fixing them. Yeah this. Even better - find examples of actual bugs you have found in your production code, and sprinkle a few in.

Has anyone generated PDFs from React with the following parameters: - all client side - the PDF will contain things not on screen (a header and so on) - the PDF will contain certain elements that are on screen, but are not in the same part of the DOM My initial thought is to use vanilla JS to create a DOM node, create the "new" stuff, then clone the React nodes I want into it, then use html2canvas -> jsPDF but I would love to hear from anyone who has done such a thing before. All my other PDFing was either done server-side or just exported either the entire page or a single element as-is.

Lumpy posted:That will not work for my use-case, unfortunately. In that case I'm not sure I would recommend html2canvas. It's an extremely hacky library, that basically reimplements the entire DOM ... it's a browser in a browser and it's terrible. Also, it's going to render a rasterised version of the page, which kind of defeats the point of having a PDF. In your case then, I would straight-up implement everything directly with jspdf. e: sorry, i feel like I'm not being helpful. Obviously, the fastest solution for you is to straight up use this library: https://www.npmjs.com/package/html2pdf.js/v/0.9.0 To have stuff appear only in the PDF and vice-versa, your solution of creating a virtual DOM node that's hidden is the best way to go. But as I've said, with this library, your PDF will basically be 100% raster ... basically a PNG inside a PDF file. go play outside Skyler fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Apr 22, 2020 |

Grump posted:ugh yes and it's about as awful as you can imagine. Yep, messed around yesterday and got something that looked right, but was a ~14M raster PDF  What I think I'm going to do is clone nodes and build an HTML string, then POST that to a server which will use puppeteer to create a PDF from it and it will send that blob back. We email out reports every week that are similar to what we want, and we do them that way and it works fine. Was hoping to skip a trip to the server, but oh well.

I've tried publishing my React app to GH pages (following this guide: https://github.com/gitname/react-gh-pages/tree/master), like I've done several times before. The app builds and gets pushed to a gh-pages branch on the repository. The homepage field in package.json is filled out, the repository is public (as I'm a free user). But when accessing the page I get the message: "There isn't a GitHub Pages site here." Are there any common pitfalls I might've stumbled into?

I tried adding the public part to the path, redeployed and the page was blank. The console reported it couldn't load some scripts. I removed the public part and redeployed, and was about to post the repo here. But now, for some reason, the page loads as it should. I have no idea why, and that's kind of aggravating. But thanks for your help!

What are y'alls approach to making a responsive site that needs to adapt to 2+ sizes? Do you use css grids, a framework like bootstrap or hardcoded media queries with custom sizes?

I just did this for my personal site using semantic/fomantic ui It was super easy to do separate layouts for mobile/tablet/desktop breakpoints. However, I think there’s a good argument for using flexbox and just letting your layout reflow as needed.

Bootstrap is only really useful if you need all the typography, controls and navigation stuff. If you don't plan to use any of that, then just use flexbox with sane screen widths (which you can steal from bootstrap).

Bootstrap 4 has a very nice set of utility classes and there’s no reason not to snipe them into your own css file if you don’t want the components/typography/etc.

So I'm an indie game dev who generally pays rent by teaching programming at various colleges, but both the teaching and games markets are absolutely brutal right now (and honestly aren't really financially sustainable even at the best of times). I figure that this is a good time to self-teach a new set of skills, so I'm going to be starting a sort of living-RPG-rulebook project to get myself familiar with modern dev work and get something for my portfolio. The issue is that front end dev is just horrific ever-shifting quicksand. I've dipped my toe in a few times over the years, making projects using ugly-rear end PHP, node.js, and Ruby on Rails, but I don't have a good sense of what frameworks/etc are actually useful to know at the moment (and likely to stay useful over the new few years), and doing research online is tough since it feels like anything written more than a few months ago is probably outdated and misleading. What frameworks/IDEs/etc do people suggest I use? I can give more details on the project itself (think lots of modular little windows and user text entry), but I'm almost more interested in understanding the modern dev environment than in getting project-specific advice.

I super strongly recommend learning docker but it is not required.

I figure that this is a good time to self-teach a new set of skills, so I'm going to be starting a sort of living-RPG-rulebook project to get myself familiar with modern dev work and get something for my portfolio. For the frontend: 1. Install VSCode. 2. Install Parcel bundler. ... and you're done. Parcel requires virtually zero configuration, will automatically install dependencies for you when you import them in JS, and supports dev server and production builds out of the box. Webpack is more of an "industry standard" but incites configuration hell and Parcel has their number IMO. React is the most popular FE framework right now for a reason, and has been for years, which is practically an eternity in web dev land - start there. For the backend, if you want a lot of control and something "industry standard" I'd go for Java or NodeJS plus mongoDB, popular choices at my workplace. But you'll be doing a lot of work just for basic static file serving and/or APIs - tedious stuff that can be done better and faster with a cloud based approach. For small personal projects I'd encourage something like Firebase/Firestore or Google Cloud Platform in general. It will give you file hosting, user authentication, and database storage (think a cloud based equivalent to localStorage) dead simple.

Over many years I swapped to a new IDE or text editor every 3-8 months. I'd become comfortable with everything about the IDE and then there'd be something new and shiny to try out. Then, several years ago I started using Jetbrains IDEs (webstorm/pycharm/Idea. They're basically all the same) and haven't switched again even though I still continue to try and supplant them with something new. I can't really say if that's because their IDEs are just perfect for me, or if I've just gotten older and more set in my ways. I can just say that I'm really happy with them. (slight hiccup in that little story...I added VS Code to my repertoire awhile back because it's nice for editing little single file scripts and whatnot)

Sublime Text here with that Vim syndrome. I just love configuring that broken syntax highlighting every few months. Oh, buy also paying for software. Honestly, it's all about the speed, and Jetbrains stuff feels like molasses.

Yeah, I work on a very beefy machine specifically so I can't tell the difference between Jetbrains and Notepad in the speed department. I also always keep my IDE running (yay 32GB RAM) so I don't have to deal with the startup time. However, when I talk about speed, I'm mainly talking about everything except the typing experience. Nowadays, Jetbrains has the lowest typing latency of almost any GUI editor.  more info

i'm not delusional enough to say vscode is fast, but it is definitely faster than atom (lol) and it's fast enough when all's said and done. the thing just has every feature i could hope for and extensions for everything else. i do miss sublime's speed though - it started up on a hdd as fast as vscode starts on an ssd (both fast)
