JavaScript 30 Notes for day 6,8


I have notes for days 3 - 5, and 7, but they're too short to make a good post with.


This is from Day 8!




Day 6;

an external JSON file gives us a list of city names

“spread into” => cities.push(…data))
the spread operator allows the elements of our array to expand

https://codeburst.io/javascript-the-spread-operator-a867a71668ca

line 30, the g and i -
g is global, looks through the string
i is insensitive, going to match lowercase and uppercase

lines 45 and 46:
change means you have to click outside the box to trigger the event
keyup means you don’t.

disMatch function, the more you type, the fewer results (see console).

const cityName = place.city.replace(regex, `<span class=\"h1">${this.value}</span>` )

Finds what the person searched for and replace it with a highlight in the list. (Didn’t get that…)


Day 8; => GitHub

Look at this nifty canvas! There’s a canvas element, with width and height. It’s set at 800 for both, default, but I want to make it wider. (Which we do so , with window.innerWidth)

The context is what we’re drawing on, not the actual canvas (ctx) and ask for the context.

There are contexts for stroke style, linejoin, and line cap (which gives us that round tube-y brush)

let drawing false means you only draw when the mouse press is down; *down, true*, *up, false*

last coordinates = 0 —— a starting x and y

draw function takes an event, listening for the mouse move so it will draw (it’s logged)
stop function when the mouse isn’t down.

Eventlistener for mousedown
mouseout is when you move the mouse out of the canvas, it’s also read as a ‘not pressed down’

offset values come from the event that’s happening.

check the lasts so that things don’t just start from the point, or where you just stopped (check mousedown), so update your last x and last y

you can change the linewidth

ctx.strokestyle = `hsl(${hue}, 100%, 50%)`;
defining this stroke style with the other ctx elements before the function strangely doesn’t work.



EMPLOYERS: This is me sharing notes and putting new skills into practice.

Connecting IoT Devices to a Registration Server (Packet Tracer, Cisco)

 If you're seeing this post, I'm helping you, and you probably have LI presence: React and share this post to help me in return.   In Packet Tracer, a demo software made by Cisco Systems. It certainly has changed a lot since 2016. It's almost an Olympic feat to even get started with it now, but it does look snazzy. This is for the new CCNA, that integrates, among other things, IoT and Automation, which I've worked on here before. Instructions here . I don't know if this is an aspect of "Let's make sure people are paying attention and not simply following blindly", or an oversight - The instructions indicate a Meraki Server, when a regular one is the working option here. I have to enable the IoT service on this server. Also, we assign the server an IPv4 address from a DHCP pool instead of giving it a static one. For something that handles our IoT business, perhaps that's safer; Getting a new IPv4 address every week or so is a minimal step against an...

Create a Simple Network (Packet Tracer) + A Walkthrough

Again; I've done this, but now there's so many new things, I'm doing it again. The truly new portions were...everything on the right side of this diagram; The cloud needed a coax connector and a copper Ethernet connector. It's all easy to install, turn off the cloud (Weird), install the modules. Getting the Cable section of Connections was an unusual struggle - The other drop down menu had nothing within. It required going into the Ethernet options and setting the Provider Network to 'cable', which is the next step AFTER the drop-downs. The rest was typical DHCP and DNS setups, mainly on the Cisco server down there. The post is rather short - How about adding a video to it? Find out what A Record means - This site says 'Maps a name to an IP address', which is DNS. So it's another name for DNS? You can change them (presumably in a local context) to associate an IP address to another name.

Review: Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds

  Ah yes, almost 3 years ago, I wrote this review (Despite getting the earbuds for Christmas, I wanted to use them for a few months before writing). And in December of 2023, the right one began to get dull regarding sound. I always make sure they're clean - Ear infections are no joke, clean your earbuds - so that wasn't it, I never got the verification code from Samsung to make an account for them to be repaired, and Samsung Support through chat told me to go to my local approved dealer, a random shop 50 miles away that wouldn't actually give me an estimate. I'd much rather repair than replace, especially if it's a gift. I'll open (or attempt to) the faulty one and look around and still use the other one. So here, let's get some new ones on sale, using a combination of giftcards and luck. I was torn between the colors, but I have, more than once, misplaced the black case and was unable to discern it because...most of my stuff is black. I need a case for thi...
