Why is angular so tough. Does anyone have any good resources on learning it? The angular docs are very dense and I need something simpler

i use a media query to specifically target print to create a separate print stylesheet.

i display: none a bunch of extra stuff that doesn't need to be printed. base 12px for font size.

flex and grid are meant to be responsive to different screen widths. the printed page is predictable in comparison and you should try setting up rules with % widths and whatnot.

there are also a bunch of css rules specifically for print, make sure to check browser support for these different rules

good link i just found
https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2018/05/print-stylesheets-in-2018/

alternatively, use an html to pdf lib

it sounds like you have multiple issues and just try to work on communicating each one individually with specific examples. im guessing it should be the web devs job to identify where the failure is coming from and fix it

Ok, thanks all, but what I'm getting is hypothetical situations where you don't have a managed team or devops stuff. See, we use things like:
  • Sass to make writing CSS easier
  • Webpack for compiling and optimizing assets
  • Capistrano for deploying code for a git repository to servers
So I don't see how Docker fits into this, if at all. To be honest, it seems to me like Docker just does what virtual machines already do and is just an alternative.

I'm not saying it isn't useful - you're just not selling it to me.

when you onboard a new dev, how do they run your app(s)?

What do you mean? Checking code out from a repo?

thats usually a good first step, but usually there is more right? are you just creating static html files or something?

docker needs an engine to run on mac, which is resource hungry. on linux you dont need the engine

You can do a media query selecting for print. Google “print stylesheets” for helpful tips and special css rules that apply for page breaks and stuff

if you have a list of items to sell, use a unordered list probably.

if you have a selections of items with two columns that could be labeled "key" and "value" or something like that, use a description list

tables are for tabular data only imo. if you can name the columns and it makes sense that you could add stuff like sorting on columns thats a good use case for a table

You mentioned this is a wordpress site, so you'll probably have to set the link (href property on a tag) with php instead of js.

Are you using a js framework?

I think the term you want to search is input masking.

Ryan Florence deactivated his twitter recently but one of the other guys started some poo poo last week saying basically SvelteKit stole a feature from Remix. A feature that I think Qwik had like 8 years ago. Ryan was constantly picking fights with other framework people and generally acting lovely.

mad the framework they put tons of marketing dollars into isnt as popular with the cool kids
