I've used jspdf for trucking load sheets and it's worked well, without any issues: http://parall.ax/products/jspdf Never tried to print labels but because it's creating a pdf via data-uri you shouldn't have any issues with default styles overriding measurements or anything like that.

How do you work this thing? (Right now I "Clear Browsing Data"). Work in an incognito tab. If you're working with offline web apps this is also nice for having a fresh cache for testing and development.

Lexicon posted:As a side project, I've decided to migrate my resume out of Apple Pages and into html - the idea being that I can version control it properly, etc. I'd like the CSS to roughly look like a paper resume at desktop device size, be appropriately responsive on mobile, and competently 'print to PDF' such that the resulting PDF looks like it came out of a word processor and not a web browser. I'm not really sure what you mean by 'looks like it came out of a word processor' but you can specify different css files for print than for screen, so you can optimize your layout specifically for a sheet of paper easily enough. e;fb

Pivo posted:Just the current scroll position. It's a browser thing, I know we're not doing it on purpose. Just doing window.reload(true) or whatever it is to not grab from cache, since we've got a modal where people do some poo poo and if it succeeds we want to reload the page and we show a little success thing at the top and then their new data. The page has gotten long though and I'm annoyed that some browsers save the scroll position (although it's awesome when I'm actually browsing the web) so people don't see that success message and it looks all hosed. If you don't have any other javascript that executes on page load, put this in a script tag after your <body> tag closes: JavaScript code:

It's weird that .scroll only goes halfway up the page, maybe something is interrupting it. maybe something trying to take over scroll functionality? Also, just pointing out, I can't think of many reasons you should have to use window.reload. Really the only one I can think of is if you're using appcache and you've swapped caches.

hayden. posted:I'm making a sort of Harvest Moon game in HTML/Canvas and eventually want it to be multiplayer. In the meantime I want to be able to store map data (it's a tile structure). I want to be able to save and load this map data across multiple computers because I do dev work on three separate PCs, so that means the localstorage option is out doesn't it? If you need to load and save map data across multiple clients you definitely need a database somewhere. The easiest way to keep connection info to your DB secret is probably to make a separate module that you can require into your main server code that contains the info, and put that module into your .gitignore file. I wouldn't worry about your sql queries being slow unless they're really heavy. Whether you use PHP or node for your back-end code is pretty much up to preference and what you want to learn/practice. Both are able to respond to ajax requests or use websockets. Are you planning on hosting the game on github pages or do you have a web server for that? As far as I know you wouldn't be able to run server-side code off github - just static pages and source code.

I've been introducing stuff like grunt very gradually at work and I can see the value, especially for stuff like React where being able to recompile the jsx files live is pretty great. Not sure I want to jump down the browserify rabbit hole, but working with Node I can see the benefit of just being able to toss in node modules to solve problems I'd have some custom lib sitting around for previously. Watching the .net devs at work struggle for a whole day to get up and running with a visual studio solution and all its stupid dependencies is enough to keep me off the IDE path for now. Sublime and Terminal are quite enough.

caiman posted:Which is better/faster/optimal: to call jQuery from Google's CDN in addition to your main JS file; or to use your own jQuery file that's combined into your main JS file? Option one means loading Google's fast and likely cached jQuery file, but option two means one less http request. Thoughts? Generally people recommend hosting your own these days. The initial gain from faster loading is quite marginal compared to the risk of malicious injection of code into the cdn version (like could have happened last week with jquery), the cdn going down, etc. It's also one more thing you can wrap together into your bundle if you're concatting/minifying your scripts.

nexus6 posted:I'm being put on a project that will essentially need to be a webapp/HTML & JS game that Your solution sounds fine. Application cache will handle caching your files offline quite well, as long as you get used to the way it works. localStorage has a 5MB limit on most browser/device combos and that's a lot of JSON. If you need more than that, look into pouchdb's client-side library for good cross-browser database functionality. For pretty much everything other than UI testing you can develop in Chrome on your machine and emulate various levels of network connectivity as needed. I do a lot of web application development for iDevices in this way, and I rarely need to hook an iPad up for debugging anymore.

There are a ton of minimal css frameworks out there now as an alternative to bootstrap. I'm really liking Bulma lately but there are plenty of others. There is really very little need to go and use css modules or css in js, especially for a small project.

Knifegrab posted:So I pass a props array to a component. Sometimes I reorder that array but my component doesn't update, and I'm guessing its because it is only looking at the top level of the arraay and since its just a sort the actual reference doesn't change. Copying the whole array seems like a process intensive thing, is there another way to force the copmonent to update. I wuld assume I could try and use ComponentWillReceiveProps but I am not sure if that will even be invoked since I doubt it sees this as a prop change... This is what keys are for. Give each element in your array of components a key that is relevant to its contents (not the index) and that should solve the issue.

Ruggan posted:Ok so that is all well and good for application code with well written tests. I agree that your approach makes sense. This may be a useless answer depending on your ecosystem, but at work we use SQL Server, and Visual Studio allows you to define your database in a project and generate migration scripts against a given database or just create a new one. It's great because the step of compiling helps you find bad references and you can migrate from any existing schema to your latest. Everything's just flat files so it's easy to put in version control and the diffs are useful, too. I'm not aware of any other solutions that are as good.

React-md looks like it may be a better option if you want to go the Material route: https://react-md.mlaursen.com/ We use semantic-ui at work now and I really have no complaints, it's very comprehensive, easily extended, the docs are great, and it looks great: https://react.semantic-ui.com/

ChadSexington posted:I'm setting up a personal site for myself and considering using CSS Grid for layout and responsive design. I'm pretty comfortable with HTML/CSS/JS, but I'm primarily a backend developer and out-of-date with what's going on in web design right now. I'm wondering if there's another option I should be looking at. Bootstrap, maybe? Css grid serves a specific layout purpose so I'd recommend reading up on grid and flexbox and the differences between them to see what serves your needs. Rolling your own css is a great way to learn and I'd definitely recommend doing that over using bootstrap if your goal is to learn.

Compilation started warning about how `timers` was not defined and when running it in my browser it didn't work. It took quite a bit of frustration before discovering that Visual Studio Code had automatically placed `import timers from 'timers';` at the top of my file. I have no idea why. Yeah VS Code does this thing where it looks through type definitions for the thing you're typing and imports it automatically if you tab-complete to that particular intellisense suggestion. I think the setting that controls it is `typescript.autoImportSuggestions.enabled`

First off, I've added a bit of logging to try to get some visibility into the problem and confirm my suspicion; that some of their browsers are using an incorrect timezone. You should be handling all this time stuff on the server side. Never trust the client. Make an endpoint that the client posts to that simply indicates the user clocked in. Get the time on the server when the request comes in and store it in your database in UTC. When you display that time to a user, send it to the client in UTC and use the client time zone to translate it, at which point the previous suggestions about luxon and moment become relevant.
