@cursiv3 bootstrap already has those classes

Hello everyone!

Hello @cursiv3 thanks for your reply.
But wouldn't this equal this example I built, I am giving the navbar-brand, wich is a parent of the imgelement the display: flex;property.

But still my logo doesn't center in responsive mode.

I hope it's clear, that I want my navbar to be right aligned in responsive as in fullscreen mode.

Here's the example:

I may try and formulate the same question on a more theoretic approach.

If a flex container arranges five flex-items, how would I arrange flex-item number three differently, if I want all the others to be arranged by the parent flex-container?

I hope the question is somewhat clear :)

@bradley1492 align-self

@bradley1492

@ehutchllew many thanks, this second I stumbled upon it. I just need to read css-tricks more carefully. :)

@bradley1492 Hello Christopher. When you mean responsive mode you mean mobile/small size screens? If you looking to center the image. Go to the navbar class (div below container-fluid class)and change the align-items-end to align-items-center. Hope this helps.

@cursiv3 Yes Corey you can use CSS with or without bootstrap. From what I see most sites seem to add additional CSS to bootstrap to customize the layout.

Christopher

@bradley1492

@Stevegolden12 many thanks for the tips. I think I was looking for the align-self property, which I didn't really know before. I was looking for a way to let one flex item break out of the defined behaviour from the flex-container.

Anyone tried pdf creation with signature drawing? How / what tools did you use to achieve this? Thanks!

Been seeing pdf libraries for a while now

Johnny

@JohnnyBizzel

@jcunanan05 I once used something called PdfSharp / MigraDoc. Signature? I think you can insert an image.

Thank you @JohnnyBizzel

I'm a novice in Javascript, I just know basic DOM stuff and to build such projects. I thought I would challenge myself and create a Calculator without following any tutorial. The code I wrote after hours of trying was super messed up and hacky, it was a miracle it worked at all.

I wanted to write better cleaner code, I had seen and followed Practical JS before where one Build as todlist app as an object, this is the only OOPS Experience I had, I also watched and followed a Video on Classes and Static Functions. I decided to delete my existing code and write a better codebase using Classes
here is my attempt at it https://codepen.io/siliconpen/pen/pqogNy
Please give me inputs, there could be a a lot of places where my code is reductant
I would love to learn where this code can be improved and optimized, on top of that please let me know if my documentation is any good, this is my first attempt at adding explanatory comments

Johnny

@JohnnyBizzel

@siliconchild Does it work?
I notice it does work occasionally if you don't make mistakes.
Note that you have chosen a hard challenge to start your learning. The calc has many cases and conditions which need validation.
It might be your experience but you don't seem to have considered any of these validation problems.
I like the styling. :)

siliconchild

@siliconchild

@JohnnyBizzel yes I'm yet to work on the edge cases, This is a simple calculator. What i need critique is on the how the code is put together, how can it be optimized, is the way i implemented the code using classes the right way to do it? I wonder what is the difference between using object literals vs singleton classes. when to use which.

Johnny

@JohnnyBizzel

@siliconchild Where would you put the input validation?

No idea?

Then in my opinion. It is over egging the pudding to do it all in Classes.

siliconchild

@siliconchild

@JohnnyBizzel The only validation i have now is checking if user enters multiple decimal points and ignoring it.
Edge cases I'm going to work on next is

if user uses equates in between the calculation stops and needs to be reset now, need to continue the chain even when equate is used
if the user presses the operator twice as in 5+*4, changing that to 5 x 5 instead of code breaking.

Johnny

@JohnnyBizzel

I can read it because I come from C# programming which was also OOP. So if it is just an exercise in trying out OOP style then yes, well done it - looks good.

@siliconchild I asked where you would put validation. See if we are on the same page.

siliconchild

@siliconchild

@JohnnyBizzel this is my first attempt at making anything with classes at all, should i just use object literals and use classes when i understand oops better?

Johnny

@JohnnyBizzel

@siliconchild I want to see if you understand your own code :P

siliconchild

@siliconchild

@JohnnyBizzel my validation is currently in the event object

i thought that made sense

Johnny

@JohnnyBizzel

@siliconchild Should be in the Calc class in my opinion

 if (Calc.operatorMemory === undefined) {
            Calc.operatorMemory = operator;
        }

        if (Calc.sum === undefined) {
            Calc.sum = input;
        } else...

Here somewhere I would have thought

I would recommend a Regular Expression test

siliconchild

@siliconchild

@JohnnyBizzel could you tell me why, I imagine the event object as something that captures user input with proper validation and passes that to the calc object to do the math. Could you tell me why putting the validation in Calc is the way to do it?

Johnny

@JohnnyBizzel

Ok where exactly? How would you fix the user pressing 2 = + 4

siliconchild

@siliconchild

2 = +4 should be treated as 2+4 right?

Johnny

@JohnnyBizzel

Yes

siliconchild

@siliconchild

equates just returns the sum, so 2 = should return 2 and then +4 should add 4 to the sum which is 2

Johnny

@JohnnyBizzel

So the user can't change their mind about the operator and there is no UI feedback on this

siliconchild

@siliconchild

I have to think through about validation and where to place it, thanks for making me think about it

Johnny

@JohnnyBizzel

I think you are right about doing it in the Event class

siliconchild

@siliconchild

2=+4 and 2+x4 is different right @JohnnyBizzel

Johnny

@JohnnyBizzel

However I went straight to the Calc class as I thought logically this is where it should be??

siliconchild

@siliconchild

2 =+4 should be 6 and 2+x4 should be 8

Johnny

@JohnnyBizzel

Yep

Also -2 - 5 = ?

NaN

Some users have a (+-) button to change the number to a negative or positive.

(I didn't)

I just detected it in my code

siliconchild

@siliconchild

yeah a seperate +/- button seems easier to implement as -2+-5 seems challenging to implement as it gets confused with -2+-5 as just -2-5, like the user changed the operator

could you tell me about object literal vs singleton class

the answers i find online are too techincal
