There are many flavours to arrays in JavaScript. The possible methods you to create or change arrays are: unshift, shift, push, pop, splice, concat, slice, destructuring, rest operators, and spread operators.
There are also looping methods like for, forEach, map, filter, reduce, find, findIndex.
17 different flavours! đ±.
I want to document how I choose the array methods I use. This should help you understand how to pick methods.
I was able to create an Eleventy + Snowpack + Sass + PostCSS setup that works pretty well. I want to share this setup with you in this article.
I was tinkering around with Dynamic Imports this week when I saw Snowpack in the JavaScript Weekly newsletter. It caught my eye and I gave it a whirl.
I managed to get a decent Eleventy + Snowpack + Sass setup in a couple of hours. Iâll share this setup next week. But first, I want to share some things I noticed about Snowpack.
I talked about the key bindings I used to switch between tabs and panels last week. This week, I want to share some wicked shortcuts I use for the Integrated Terminal.
Theyâre really sweet. đ.
âI donât get JavaScript. I canât make components from scratch. My mind goes blank when I stare at a blank JavaScript file. I guess I canât do it because I donât know how to think like a programmerâ.
Sounds familiar? Youâre not alone, my friend. Many people faced the same problem when they try to write JavaScript.
No more.
Let today be the day where you learn to think like a programmer.
Since I code on both Windows and Mac, I want my Visual Studio Code shortcuts to be interchangeable on both systems.
So I dug deep into Visual Studio Codeâs keyboard shortcuts for both systems and made my personal customisations.
I want to share these customisations with you so you can use them to rock at Visual Studio Code too đ.
When I got my Windows computer, the first thing I did was to set up Windows so it mirrors the writing system I had on Mac. I also mirrored Macâs modifiers as much as possible.
Then, I set up my Windows development environment (with Windows Subsystem for Linux) on my new Windows computer.
Next, I had to do was to make Visual Studio Code on both Mac and Windows play nice.
By âplay niceâ, I meant:
When I set up my Windows computer, I had the chance to take another look at the shell Iâm using. The three main ones out there are Bash, Zsh, and Fish.
I knew of Bash. I used Zsh previously. But how would Fish fare? Iâve heard great things about it, so I tried it out.
I want to share which one I chose and how I went about setting it up.
Mac changes the brightness of your screen automatically. It brightens up when youâre in a bright place. It dims when youâre in a dark place. They do it elegantly and slowly. Most of the time, their brightness adjustment is great.
The same cannot be said for Windows. I noticed huge changes in the screenâs brightness (which causes me to get distracted). I hated it, so I removed it.
Turns out, itâs not as easy as you think it should be.
I write A LOT. When I got my Windows PC, the first thing I did was to change the keyboard so itâs the same as my Macâs keyboard.
I want to show you how to do this. Itâll help if youâre transitioning from Mac to Windows! (Or if you want to use both at the same time, like me).
