    DigitalOcean, Namecheap, and Scott Tolinski were all very generous when I reached out to them to purchase prizes for the giveaway.

    Why shouldn't by backend REST API serve my frontend (say, via express.static())?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 01:57 PM PDT

    title typo: my backend

    In a node/Vue project recently my express backend serves my Vue frontend with

    app.use(express.static(path.join(\_\_dirname, '../../client/dist')))

    I did this so that I wouldn't have to have 2 hosting providers. It could all be deployed on one Heroku project.

    Why is this worse than hosting backend on Heroku, and static frontend separately on S3/Netlify/etc?

    Is it because S3/Netlify would serve the frontend much faster than express/flask/etc would serve it?

    Do you build an admin interface for your or your clients webapps?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 03:39 PM PDT

    When you write a web app... what is it capable of? How do you let your clients handle data input and output and updates?

    For example you want to have a booking site where someone could change the dates where your hotel for example has free rooms left or you want to download user data or upload changes. Do you build admin panels for that? Or are you the person who manages that stuff for your clients?

    Getting started

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 03:02 PM PDT

    First off, I'm not completely new to development. I have experience in python, I know how to set up a simple sqlite db (usually using orm, mostly sqlalchemy in py but used to use the JPA in java as well). I know how to setup flask/django and all that.

    I've never really done anything on the front end, though. I want to at least learn some basics. I know basic js+jquery although I usually have to google how to do anything specific. I tend to use typescript over plain js because it's a lot more usable.

    The problem is that I feel like there are so many subjective answers to the questions I have, that finding general guide lines seems impossible.

    JS Frameworks

    There are about 20 million of them. Angular, vue, react, ember, ... When you first started out, did you just randomly pick one? I probably won't be doing and web dev professionally, so I don't get the "benefit" my company making the choice for me.

    Too many choices

    Whenever I want to do something, there seem to be 20 ways to do it. Let's say my website has a table in it. I could populate the table rows when I first serve the page. Doing so would be super simple by including it in my jinja2 template if it's static content. But what if I need to be able to update said table?

    First problem, how do I send updates in the first place. I could use ajax. I could use a websocket. I could have my js manually send get-requests to my rest api. It's the choice of push vs pull plus which technology to use.

    If I serve the known part of the table as part of the initial load, my jinja template needs to know how to construct the proper view. My client side js also needs to know it however if I wanna be able to serve updates. I'd implement the same thing twice and end up with tight coupling. Changing either piece will break the other.

    Styling

    I don't want to make a page that looks like it's straight from the 90s, but I'm no good with UI of any sort. If something can be done in a console I generally prefer that. This is probably an area that I'll never really "get".

    What I'm really getting at here is - how did you get started? Did you just say f* it to all those things and went with the first thing that worked? If I consider every possible alternative all the time, I'll never get anywhere. If I don't, I feel like I'm half-assing it and not learning how to do it "properly".

    [HELP] Why is my getElementByID returning null when I have a valid string input?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 04:42 PM PDT

    Here is my code:

    https://pastebin.com/fAKU99Ye

    I'm doing a course from udemy, and I'm trying to fetch data from the NASA Image API with ajax. Once I get the images from a searchbox, I am trying to post those images onto my page and then want to create an event when you hover over.. For now I'm just using alerts to print the image description and title.. Maybe I'll figure out the CSS part later.

    However, in my code, when I pass through lister2 which is a valid string primitive into getElementById, it returns null. Why is that? It is in line 80 in the code. My hunch is there's something wrong with the scope, but I don't think it's likely because when I print out the string, I see li1 and when I print the typeof it is a string.

    [Next.js] How to render component after route change?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 02:55 PM PDT

    I am building a basic crud application in Next.js. I have /posts which is a list of posts and /posts/1 for editing an individual post. On the individual post page I have a delete button to delete the post and once the delete action is completed I have this code to redirect the user back to the /posts page: Router.push('/posts')

    I now want to display a message on the /posts page to say "Question Deleted" so the user knows the action was successful. I have a Toast.js component that has a show prop that accepts a boolean to render the success message on the posts page but I don't know how to tell it that a question was deleted on the other page.

    I managed to get it working by adding a query param in the URL of the router.push, e.g: /posts?toast=show and read it when the component mounts then render the Toast prop this way but this doesn't really seem the correct way as it doesn't play nice with history API as the back and forward messages trigger the Toast when it shouldn't.

    Is there a simple way to do this without integrating something like redux?

    Why do some websites have multiple oddly-named classes for one div?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 05:32 AM PDT

    This website for example has a bunch of divs and each div has a bunch of classes attached to it even though the homepage looks pretty simple. One div has the 14 classes:

    n module-type-sectionContainer module-alias-loop loop-same-size section-row-1 section-pos-n1 section-no-1 section-rc3 section-pos-odd section-pos-first section-lb3 section-has-background section-has-background-color section-cls-card section-cls-display-columns

    I see lots of websites like that and I was wondering why.

    This page has a cool feature where if you click outside the content it will generate geometric shapes.

    I'm still learning html and css and I wanted to find the javascript code out of curiosity.

    LetsEncrypt - any problems or unexpected issues?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 12:58 PM PDT

    I'm trying to assess how hands-off I actually can be with using Lets Encrypt. Once set up to be automated, have any of you had to perform any maintenance or updates to keep Certbot going? Can I expect that from a month to month basis and year after year I should not have to touch the Certbot at all?
