XPages App to Web App: Part Thirteen - HTML Layouts
We've covered a lot of the Ship and Ship Spot basic web component JavaScript. But now it's time to dig into the HTML. But first, it's important to recap the landing page web component.
XPages App to Web App: Part Twelve - Ship Spot Component
In the last two parts we covered the ship form, but we didn't cover the HTML of the form. We'll cover that in the next part, but first we'll cover creating the class. As we do that, we'll see one of the big benefits that Web Components brings to JavaScript application development. Because here we'll start with the Ship Spot form, which not only captures data that will create or display a Ship but also creates a Spot - Location, Port From and Port To.
Visual Studio Code: Code Spell Checker
Whatever your IDE of choice, there are things you can do to enhance your development experience, improve your productivity and maximise quality. But when your repository contains not only code, but documentation and configuration documents as well, it can be challenging. Then it's a case of diving into the documentation and configuring to the max. This blog post covers some learning I've gained over the last week, specifically for configuring spell checking in Visual Studio Code.
XPages App to Web App: Part Eleven - Ship Search and Save
The last part focused on using observedAttributes() to switch what the main action button did, depending on the current document state. In this part we'll cover the functionality behind the search button and the save.
ForAll Loops and Type Mismatches
There are always challenges when moving from something familiar to something similar but different. When you've been working with that "something familiar" for a very long time, some things become second nature. But when you move to "something similar but different", sooner or later you hit an error and become convinced it's not working like it used to. This is even more probable if enhancements mean you more frequently come across a specific paradigm. The rash developer starts throwing accusations, assuming they must be right because they have years of experience on their side. The wise developer double-checks first...and may find out that they were mistaken.
