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.

Making KPI Dashboards with PowerBI

 While this is the free tier, I cannot share or collaborate with others, nor can I publish content to other people's workspaces, but they will not stop me from screenshooting and recording these self-taught adventures,so! I'm doing this because I idly searched "Mattel careers" and "Information Technology", and seeing a bulletpoint saying the following: Analytical and reporting skills such as creating dashboards and establishing KPIs such as experience with PowerBI, Cognos, Tableau, and Google Data Lake/AWS is preferred And thought "Well, I've used Tableau, and I've heard about PowerBI,  even if its in-demandness is questionable , so how similar is it? And can I write about it?"  First, PowerBI (PIB) does have a downloadable, local version, but apparently Windows-only. I could download the .exe but I couldn't run it / drag it to applications on my MacBook.  Not a problem, we'll use the online SaaS version, and a dataset found here, ...

A 2-week Trial of T-Mobile Home Internet

     The Xfinity app showed usage of the past 3 months: We used less than 40% each month, for about $80 USD a month.   No thanks! That cuts into the movie budget! Before we save some money (about $15/mo), let's test how T-Mobile Internet unlimited data works for 2 weeks.    There are 15 devices for this test; Smart TVs: 4 Laptops: 4 Printer: 1 Smart Home Speakers: 3 Game Consoles: 1 Phones: 1 (There are other phones in the home but they stick with data) Other: 1 Total : 15  I made tables for 3 entries a day across 3 days to test the Xfinity service we have. Here's one;   Xfinity is pretty speedy - Download times are between 227 - 236 Mbps, Latency between 24.5 - 25.5, Jitter between 5 - 6.68, and 0 packet loss.  Let's quickly define the terms in the table;    Date/Time - The date and time of the data gathered. Download (Mpbs) - How fast your network gets data. Upload (Mbps) - How fast your network uploads data. Latency ...

Recon and SSID - Mapping With VisiWave Site Survey

My laptop is refurbished. I've written about how there are a few ... quirks. Being a technology professional, I felt okay with adopting an older machine, knowing I had the skill to fix moderate issues. From dying drivers to monitor massacres, I've ID'd, solved, and documented a lot of issues.  The newest one was my Wi-Fi adapter dropping the connection to a specific extender. While troubleshooting, I was curious about doing recon of WiFi networks and broadcasting devices anyway. That issue? A power setting. It was so determined to save power, it would disconnect. The extender is also flirting with the older end of 6 years old.  The battery needs to be replaced, but that's new to me. As a Windows laptop, there are a plethora of options to pick. How do you decide which one is safest?  I am suddenly concerned about this despite having 3 unofficial, 15$ Macbook Air chargers from eBay, and no explosions. But let's move onto the Site Survey - Where can I find the stronges...
