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, ...

Log Sorting with AWS CloudWatch, AWS CloudWatch Insights

 The cool thing is, I was contracted to make these videos in collaboration with CloudAvail Technology Consulting to help people decide which service they wanted to use for their logging - AWS CloudWatch, AWS CloudWatch Insights, DataDog, or New Relic. I'm searching through nginx logs. I have accompanying videos of each service that you can find on the CloudAvail Youtube page; See these links to go to the DataDog and NewRelic posts.   The idea was to be subjective in the videos, but I can be objective on my personal blog.     CloudWatch     The syntax is odd, but easy to grasp. Sort log data by IP addresses, message codes, and status codes. The simplest query system, but not quite robust.   Insights       The syntax has changed - Vastly. I see major SQL influences. You can see that in how the parse function works - in this case, it's often taken pieces of a pre-existing standard - in this case, message - and breaking them into their own c...

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...
