As the wise prom candy said: prom candy posted:if you have questions I looked at that tutorial quick, and it seems really stupid the way they wrote it... starting with class components (which nobody really uses any more) and then converting them to functional ones seems like maybe they were trying to teach JS developers coming from an OOP place, rather than someone who is familiar with "modern" JS / frameworks, so it probably is not the best place to start. If you are interested in a tic tac toe tutorial, I bet we could talk you through it in here. I don't really know any good places to get started, since I started so long ago I haven't kept current on that stuff.

Knowing how class components operate and things like life cycle methods is still very useful and a dev, especially starting devs, should have some experience with them. They're not the most optimal or up-to-date solution, but a lot of frontends are still utilizing class components for any number of reasons. Don't ignore them!

Does anyone have a solid guide on integrating Jest for unit testing into a react frontend? I'm looking more for practical workflow how-tos. Organization, best practices, examples of different tests, quirks and features, etc.

The Tic-Tac-Toe one should be the quite dated one, that still used class components. You can use the new documentation, thats still in beta at https://beta.reactjs.org/ My usual method of learning stuff like this is to read official documentation or finding some highly ranked Udemy course, and after that just building lots of small things using it.

So this does exactly what I want, but I don't know where to put the code from Stack Exchange, or how exactly it works, would I put it in the single post file in the theme? https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/149826/display-posts-from-the-same-category-using-next-previous-post-link Wait actually I found something here: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/next_post_link/ This would do it right? Where do I put that code? In the post template? Then I can use this to get the first and last link, and use that to make the First and Last buttons, then I can just line them up across the page, and just rip out the plugin I was using for this. https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/363822/how-can-you-get-first-post-last-post-and-post-count-in-a-category Boba Pearl fucked around with this message at 08:42 on Jan 27, 2022 |

If you're using the built in posts functionality then yeah it goes into the theme file, if not then you need to look up the template heirarchy. If you want help send me a PM and I can walk you through exactly

Hello fine people of the internet. I have a CSS question! I know you're all dying to see it. https://jsfiddle.net/df0g4rek/1/ I've extracted this simplified example from an existing code base! Div `container` is whatever, it's just somewhere on the page. Div `outer` and div `inner` are both thanks to this 3rd party library that replaces native scrollbars with custom ones. I've removed the javascript code from the example, because it's not relevant. Other than the fact they exist and my client wants to use that library. They are customizable so if those are the cause of the problem by all means tell me. Within this scrollable area, there's div `background` which has to be there and is the focus of the issue. And div `square` which acts as placeholder content. Ideally when you scroll to the right, div `background` would extend all the way across. But it does not. It's like the browser stops bothering to render it, "oh nobody will ever scroll to the right." it says. Nolgthorn fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Jan 27, 2022 |

Does anyone have a favorite modern host that offers managed LAMP dedicated virtual servers? I use Digital Ocean droplets for a lot of personal projects/spinning up quick dev environments I can share with clients, but I don't think they handle things like updating packages/applying OS updates/managing firewalls/etc. Best case scenario I need a host that will give me enough control that I can modify Apache configs (for example), but otherwise manages server security/updates so I don't have to be on the hook for that sort of thing forevermore. Any ideas?

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile, too. I’ve run sites on droplets, managed VPS, and dedicated servers over the years. Like you said, after the initial setup there is very little the provider typically needs to do besides apply system patches if everything is already running smoothly. And with several of the hosts I’ve interfaced with, I know more than the first tier of support that you’re expected to interface with and I’m pretty dumb. So instead of paying a pretty big price increase every month for an impersonal managed service that is mostly just automated stuff on the host’s end, I’ve been thinking about finding someone to help with this. Hire someone for an hour or two every few months to review things and apply any patches. And this way if you have a specific problem they’re more likely to know a good answer instead of whatever internal documentation tells them to say. They would also be able to help with a more robust selection of hosts (DO, Linode, etc) instead of being tied to one service. Still trying to figure out if this is the best path forward and how realistic it is.

Maybe it's one of those situations where the client-facing software is really great and professionally done and has a team of 30+ engineers working long hours to make it incredible. But then Disney's internal applications for employee use are just loving garbage that they spent five dollars and a threat on, and haven't had a single bug fixed in ten years. Wordpress, plugins and a prayer to power the entire internal infrastructure.

Man, anyone have any great references or cheat sheets for fixing accessibility issues on existing websites without straight up rewriting things? Inherited a modern NextJS website but with a lot of bad patterns that's making the website inaccessible (primarily keyboard navigation) and this isn't my actual wheelhouse.

Run it through Wave Accessibility and make sure you say you take 0 liability for accessibility and you are simply making adjustments to make the site friebdlier because if they get sued they'll come after you

How do you know it's not accessible? Could try the accessibility tools in Chrome (Lighthouse Accessibility) and Firefox (Inspect Accessibility Options). Ideally there should be a person/team for A11y, like in UX making the components in the first place. It's sad that it's so deprioritized across the industry. I'd just go component by component. There is no quick fix, and those overlay things are really just band-aids. For references, there is of course WCAG.

Already dealing with legal issues and we've run the site through all the automated tools that have called out a lot of buttons/actions are not keyboard accessible etc. And yep, familiar with the standards but I'm getting pretty stumped with weird things. Like I have an <input> of type "checkbox" and it's not included in the keyboard navigation. I shouldn't have to add tabindex=0 to it or anything given it's the native element with the appropriate type, right? It's things like this where the official guidance says so but it doesn't happen. It might also be because it's part of a drawer that expands in upon an action (but is rendered ahead of time but hidden off screen). It's things like the above that I was hoping there was more specific guidance or lessons learned. Also, this is a startup where we have 2 engineers, one of which is me (and I'm the head of engineering trying to hire a team) where we're handling the entire stack/infrastructure/marketing needs etc. - we don't have a dedicated accessibly team or person to do this.

Disable CSS styles for an immediate view of major node ordering (and thus tab-key sequencing) issues, and places where screen readers will read out duplicate entries, bad alt texts, decorative text not being invisible, etc.

I hadn't checked that the larger drawer was hidden like that (thought it was just off screen). I'll give that a look but other items within that draw DO come up in the keyboard navigation.

I mean, in theory any website that does business in California (which is basically any site on the English speaking internet) is open to being sued over accessibility issues these days, no? e: Maybe, maybe not? I'm not a lawyer. quote:Aside from the ADA, a federal law, another piece of California legislation also protects persons with disabilities. This is the Unruh Civil Rights Act. https://adacompliancepros.com/ada-website-compliance-in-california/ e2: Potentially more applicable quote:The Unruh Act that mandates that all Californians – no matter what their sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation, citizenship, primary language, or immigration status – are entitled to the full and equal accommodations in all business establishments.

Can't speak to CA but you dont even need a website. I have seen a website ADA case against a hotel that didnt have a loving website. They ONLY listed their hotel on expedia and other third parties. The plaintiffs attorney uses a mail merge and has a sentence for the website and it just had two spaces where the URL typically goes. The ADA-access plaintiffs bar is filled with fraudsters who have found a legal means to shake down businesses. Actually fixing issues with your website, even to the point of WCAG compliance, will only somewhat protect you.

So I'm following Miguel Grinberg's Flask tutorials as I work my way through an app to (hopefully) help everyone in my company and not just me. It's also a way to combine Python/CSS/HTML practice into one. There's a section on converting to Bootstrap for CSS and whatnot. However, I already have a disgusting amount of CSS to coerce things to work the way I want them to. Is it worth changing over to Bootstrap given its integration with other tools like dataTables.js? Also, I want to have a single Jinja template that does not need to be rerendered every time a row needs to be added. Can this be accomplished with Javascript to add another <td> of controls and Flask to process that input?

Bootstrap tends to reduce the amount of CSS you need to write since it has so much functionality built in. That said, Tailwind seems to be the library of choice for a lot of new projects these days.

Bootstrap and Tailwind are solving different problems, I’m not sure why it’s necessary to compare them and declare a winner. Both are quite good at what they do and the one you end up liking is really more a personal choice.
