@TimHandy Running your app on 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost allows you to access your app via your computers external ip. This is useful for example if you wanted to test how your app runs on different devices eg your mobile or tablet.
To find you computer’s ip use the ifconfig command.
@rinse0ut when you say external...
...ahh, you don't mean external external
you mean the LAN IP
now I understand
@TimHandy Thanks for links. Can I suggest we keep the doc just for titles and links and add comments using the comments functionality please.
yes boss :-)
I will make the amends
Yes I just did a test on the 0.0.0.0 and now I understand it properly too. Got me foxed before and had to set up virtual host etc.
BTW This is a cool GUI for managing your app processes: https://github.com/typicode/hotel
Basically you can start and stop your apps in the browsers and it assigns a random port if you like so that you don’t get conflicts
I thought before, you were suggesting to make it available on the web... that would also involve some port forwarding on the router end... I totally get what you're saying now... though when I've accessed websites on the lan... oh, but I used apache etc... ahh not done this with node before... yes, I'll have to try that
Found a new linux command ‘tree’ try it out in your project directory
yeah, I saw the hotel video months ago... looks good if you're working on multiple websites, like in an agency environment
I use tree sometimes
it makes nice ascii folder structures for documentation
ttly
i also use 'silver searcher'
for quick searching...
top tip from David at hack night...
it’s like an easy ‘grep’ ?
a faster grep
searching your project is a really useful skill
i'm no pro, but David says it's da-bomb, and it seems to find stuff when I look.
now combining it with Regex expressions is like next level shit
no doubt!
I’ve got a new reggae reggae react logo lol
Yeah David know’s his shit.
hey @katjad maybe one for your next workshop... a unix superuser tricks of the trade class!
@rinse0ut: logo whatnow?
I think getting the digital ocean server going and deployments with docker would be awseomes.
yeah, a good tool in the toolbelt to have had some experience with for sure.
I’ve not used nodemon, just hot reloading
Main issue is I don’t quit my node apps properly and they hog the port so I have to kill all node process and re run the app
I’ve created a new shared doc called TIL: Today I Learned for sharing hot tips!
@katjad Can we add this as a feature to our app please!?
@rinse0ut knock knock... let me in
I have TIL to add!
yay!
thought it was public, let me check
Just found out my friend’s company have been hosting all of their repos on my personal bit bucket account and I’ve reached my user limit!
haha, nice
some of their repos are 400mb!
ransom?!
blackmail... money cash?!!! $$$
haha maybe I just restrict acces to the junor dev asshole
or revoke access rather
those junior devs hey!
I have no probs with juniors, however this one was really rude and arrogant depsite all the help I gave him
Most annoying thing is he wouldn’t put spaces between operators
soreadinghiscodewaslikethis
... did I say thanks for your help ?! :-/ Thanks.
oh... I hate that
no probs, I learnt something as well so cheers
and I also hate x or y, or k or whatever letter for variables... give em an effing name for gods sake!
yep he did that as well
most annoying thing is that he thinks he know’s it all and is an amazing programmer
his code was not readable at all
the great thing about this group is that you have to consider other people reading your code not just your self.
I almost had webpack 2.0 working yesterday. Gonna try it again tomorrow I think. I wasn't far off.
I’m going to try configing webpack from stratch this afternoon using this tutorial:
Please let me know if you have any other good webpack tutorials
will look into webpack 2 cheers
don't forget the .babelrc file... you can do that in the webpack config, but i found other modules don't like it that way
used json-server last week too
that's a pretty old article isn't it?
2015?
yeah maybe I should see what others are about
for React land? that was written before Jesus!
I was following this: https://webpack.js.org/guides/migrating/
think it’s 9 months old
cool, I’ll use the latest version
hope it’s easier to use!
they just renamed stuff, and added an array here and there
I’m going on lunch, brb.
i'm semi-ok with webpack now i have a working config and know what to change when I copy between projects.
yeah, mee too... hungry.
Sweet, I might ask you for help!
BTW a TIL feature would be a cool project for our app! @TimHandy @katjad
Webpack 2 released 1st Feb with ES6 support. Nice one Tim, would have totally missed that using boilerplates.
@katjad Yes just logged into the codehub digital ocean account. Once I get Docker set up I’ll sort out a demo!
:package:
Coffee has just kicked in...
TIL Google Form!
Let’s collect data for our new project to access from Google spreadsheets as a data source..
Haha, data validation... I like it. I have one like it for when I have a weigh-in! Gotta keep track of your vital stats! Never thought about it for our use though... didn't know they have an API for that though... way cool.
Are you the next Conor McGregor!? :facepunch:
aye! but without the sharp suits
I did used to train in MMA and Krav Maga
MMA?
What do you do now?
yeah, MMA, mixed martial arts... cage fighting stuff
I mostly increase my girth, by doing very little exercise... it's going well.
nice, you need to work on your coliflower :ear:
I do hand of wind kung fu and tai chi
All the google drive app have a js API btw
bugger... think I accidentally deleted the Name field... I'll fix it..
so the field name is back... but you might have to manually add my name to those first couple of entries...
The reason it happened, was that I didn't realise that you'd sent the form builder version rather than the form... so I started typing away and overwrote the title with my name... sorry about that
I was thinking we could set up a Registration Form to record new members and goals. Get this outputing via an api end point as json and then put a react front end on it.
No worries
yep, I think the other Dave filled one of those in, in response to Katja's message on the git issues thingy maybe? or was it an email I saw it in?
yes I saw that, it was a great response
on the discussion board
ahh, i see your icon now.
I’m gonna revert to my old logo
where's your face? are you hiding?
beard is out of control
I get advised (told) to shave when it's too long
I was gonna have a trim but it’s too cold
How did you voting app go? Is that from a tutorial?
yeah, it's an FCC assignment
ongoing... big job.
back end is done... well, it works... little in the way of being a robust app, but there's limits to how long you can spend on a toy app.
front end just started... spend the day on Friday wrestling with Bootstrap... think it's sorted now got head around how you use it with React. Should be able to plough ahead with React on Monday.
Had a good day of random IT today... got rid of two failing drives with bad sectors, replaced with another drive, migrated SSD, got my linked-in profile together in prep for job searching, updated a bit on my portfolio, booked a blood donor session, installed Xbuntu on an old laptop, unbricked my router I broke when I tried to upgrade the firmware... and did the laundry! Might even have a beer now!
:beers:
Btw let me know how you included bootstrap, I just included a style sheet
Yeah, including the stylesheet won't give you any interactivity jquery type stuff, dropdowns and such... hold on
