JavaScript Fundamentals

I have recently completed a course that extensively covered the foundational principles of JavaScript, and I'm here to provide you with a concise overview. This post will enable you to grasp the fundamental concepts without the need to enroll in the course.

Prerequisites: Fundamental HTML Comprehension

Before delving into JavaScript, it is imperative to possess a basic understanding of HTML. Knowledge of CSS, while beneficial, is not mandatory, as it primarily pertains to the visual aspects of web pages.

Manipulating HTML Text with JavaScript

When it comes to modifying text using JavaScript, the innerHTML function is the go-to tool. Let's break down the process step by step:

Initiate the process by selecting the HTML element whose text you intend to modify. This selection can be accomplished by employing various DOM (Document Object Model) element selection methods offered by JavaScript ( I'll talk about them in a second )

Optionally, you can store the selected element in a variable (we'll get into variables shortly).

Employ the innerHTML function to substitute the existing text with your desired content.

Element Selection: IDs or Classes

You have the opportunity to enhance your element selection by assigning either an ID or a class:

Assigning an ID:

To uniquely identify an element, the .getElementById() function is your go-to choice. Here's an example in HTML and JavaScript:

HTML:

<button id="btnSearch">Search</button>

JavaScript:

document.getElementById("btnSearch").innerHTML = "Not working";

This code snippet will alter the text within the button from "Search" to "Not working."

Assigning a Class:

For broader selections of elements, you can assign a class and use the .querySelector() function. Keep in mind that this method can select multiple elements, in contrast to .getElementById(), which typically focuses on a single element and is more commonly used.

Variables

Let's keep it simple: What's a variable? Well, think of it as a container where you can put different things—these things could be numbers, words, characters, or even true/false values. These various types of stuff that you can store in a variable are called DATA TYPES.

Now, some programming languages are pretty strict about mentioning these data types. Take C and C++, for instance; they're what we call "Typed" languages, and they really care about knowing the data type.

But here's where JavaScript stands out: When you create a variable in JavaScript, you don't have to specify its data type or anything like that. JavaScript is pretty laid-back when it comes to data types.

So, how do you make a variable in JavaScript?

There are three main keywords you need to know: var, let, and const.

But if you're just starting out, here's what you need to know :

const: Use this when you want your variable to stay the same, not change. It's like a constant, as the name suggests.

var and let: These are the ones you use when you're planning to change the value stored in the variable as your program runs.

Note that var is rarely used nowadays

Check this out:

let Variable1 = 3; var Variable2 = "This is a string"; const Variable3 = true;

Notice how we can store all sorts of stuff without worrying about declaring their types in JavaScript. It's one of the reasons JavaScript is a popular choice for beginners.

Arrays

Arrays are a basically just a group of variables stored in one container ( A container is what ? a variable , So an array is also just a variable ) , now again since JavaScript is easy with datatypes it is not considered an error to store variables of different datatypeslet

for example :

myArray = [1 , 2, 4 , "Name"];

Objects in JavaScript

Objects play a significant role, especially in the world of OOP : object-oriented programming (which we'll talk about in another post). For now, let's focus on understanding what objects are and how they mirror real-world objects.

In our everyday world, objects possess characteristics or properties. Take a car, for instance; it boasts attributes like its color, speed rate, and make.

So, how do we represent a car in JavaScript? A regular variable won't quite cut it, and neither will an array. The answer lies in using an object.

const Car = { color: "red", speedRate: "200km", make: "Range Rover" };

In this example, we've encapsulated the car's properties within an object called Car. This structure is not only intuitive but also aligns with how real-world objects are conceptualized and represented in JavaScript.

Variable Scope

There are three variable scopes : global scope, local scope, and function scope. Let's break it down in plain terms.

Global Scope: Think of global scope as the wild west of variables. When you declare a variable here, it's like planting a flag that says, "I'm available everywhere in the code!" No need for any special enclosures or curly braces.

Local Scope: Picture local scope as a cozy room with its own rules. When you create a variable inside a pair of curly braces, like this:

//Not here { const Variable1 = true; //Variable1 can only be used here } //Neither here

Variable1 becomes a room-bound secret. You can't use it anywhere else in the code

Function Scope: When you declare a variable inside a function (don't worry, we'll cover functions soon), it's a member of an exclusive group. This means you can only name-drop it within that function. .

So, variable scope is all about where you place your variables and where they're allowed to be used.

Adding in user input

To capture user input in JavaScript, you can use various methods and techniques depending on the context, such as web forms, text fields, or command-line interfaces.We’ll only talk for now about HTML forms

HTML Forms:

You can create HTML forms using the &lt;;form> element and capture user input using various input elements like text fields, radio buttons, checkboxes, and more.

JavaScript can then be used to access and process the user's input.

Functions in JavaScript

Think of a function as a helpful individual with a specific task. Whenever you need that task performed in your code, you simply call upon this capable "person" to get the job done.

Declaring a Function: Declaring a function is straightforward. You define it like this:

function functionName() { // The code that defines what the function does goes here }

Then, when you need the function to carry out its task, you call it by name:

functionName();

Using Functions in HTML: Functions are often used in HTML to handle events. But what exactly is an event? It's when a user interacts with something on a web page, like clicking a button, following a link, or interacting with an image.

Event Handling: JavaScript helps us determine what should happen when a user interacts with elements on a webpage. Here's how you might use it:

HTML:

<button onclick="FunctionName()" id="btnEvent">Click me</button>

JavaScript:

function FunctionName() { var toHandle = document.getElementById("btnEvent"); // Once I've identified my button, I can specify how to handle the click event here }

In this example, when the user clicks the "Click me" button, the JavaScript function FunctionName() is called, and you can specify how to handle that event within the function.

Arrow functions : is a type of functions that was introduced in ES6, you can read more about it in the link below

If Statements

These simple constructs come into play in your code, no matter how advanced your projects become.

If Statements Demystified: Let's break it down. "If" is precisely what it sounds like: if something holds true, then do something. You define a condition within parentheses, and if that condition evaluates to true, the code enclosed in curly braces executes.

If statements are your go-to tool for handling various scenarios, including error management, addressing specific cases, and more.

Writing an If Statement:

if (Variable === "help") { console.log("Send help"); // The console.log() function outputs information to the console }

In this example, if the condition inside the parentheses (in this case, checking if the Variable is equal to "help") is true, the code within the curly braces gets executed.

Else and Else If Statements

Else: When the "if" condition is not met, the "else" part kicks in. It serves as a safety net, ensuring your program doesn't break and allowing you to specify what should happen in such cases.

Else If: Now, what if you need to check for a particular condition within a series of possibilities? That's where "else if" steps in. It allows you to examine and handle specific cases that require unique treatment.

Styling Elements with JavaScript

This is the beginner-friendly approach to changing the style of elements in JavaScript. It involves selecting an element using its ID or class, then making use of the .style.property method to set the desired styling property.

Example:

Let's say you have an HTML button with the ID "myButton," and you want to change its background color to red using JavaScript. Here's how you can do it:

HTML: <button id="myButton">Click me</button>

JavaScript:

// Select the button element by its ID const buttonElement = document.getElementById("myButton"); // Change the background color property buttonElement.style.backgroundColor = "red";

In this example, we first select the button element by its ID using document.getElementById("myButton"). Then, we use .style.backgroundColor to set the background color property of the button to "red." This straightforward approach allows you to dynamically change the style of HTML elements using JavaScript.

hey font nerds

[ does anybody know any good fonts for a lil my "pc as a website" project? ]

pwetty pwease? >:3 # this is a threat

REQUIREMENTS: - Kinda like Android Material UI but more suited for a "modern" PC desktop [ I like Inter ExtraLight for example :3 ]

or: - something good for icons. tray, notifications, you get the gist [ - i know nerdfonts and i can guide myself through their patcher so combining them with a "sleek" main font should be no problem. Wanna get more into python stuff anyways. ]

[ but wait, there's more: - i'm getting cozy with a mono font on my current setup, so if there's any that give of a more like "coffee house vibes and today is cocoa day" vibe, they're also very much appreciated OwO # ^> again, a threat.]

[ oh and also: - access to adobe-fonts is not a problem, i have a adobe license from work # ^ sharing is caring 💚 ]

You're so right abt all these websites looking freaking the same. Too polished, corporate typa style bs. And it's not only websites, it's applicable to books too. Everything looks bland and the same. I honestly miss early 2000s style. I don't care if it was tacky or anything. At least they were interesting and each one was unique in it's own brand of quirk lol

Hiya! 💗

I agree! I love different styles shown in websites! Everything nowadays are following this trendy of "spacey subtle but a lot few colours" and they say it's all for user experience so I wonder is it the users' fault or are the designers just following a trend they got from another designer and so forth and not really what the user wants? I mean, I bet now the users who view the websites are noticing, like we have, that oh the same style again. I don't know as I'm not a UX/UI designer so I can't judge entirely but from a user perspective I am tired of websites all looking the same, I mean even those old government websites look better than this gradient spacey look that's going on.

But just as they're a trend, they will die out soon. I remember when glassompishm was super duper trendy, when I started learning how to code websites around 2021-2022, it was everywhere and now it's not as popular, I see less of it now, so we'll see what's next 🤞🏾

On that, this is why I like neocites with it's diversity and uniqueness! Also check out mine hehe~!

That post from like a month ago (I was planning to write this the day after and then immediately forgot and this has been in drafts since lol) about web devs not having some basic knowledge of the web has been stuck in my brain for a while because they are correct as I said in the notes but it's the landscape of web dev right now that's causing it and I don't see it stopping anytime soon.

I've been a professional Front End Dev for just over 7 years at this point (now a UX Dev working on a design system), and while I have a good chunk of experience under my belt, I've gotten to the point where I realize just how much shit I do not know and it's a LOOOOT.

The current landscape of web dev is that most projects and products are robust web apps that, in the absolute best case scenario, are gonna require, at minimum:

User experience research and work (UX)

User interface design (UI)

Front end with accessibility and mobile responsiveness (I am here)

Front end interactions and state management (JS engineers)

Backend database and API work

Backend infrastructure work (including setting up the dev and QA test environments)

QA testing

Developer experience to make sure devs/engineers are working efficiently with the tools they have

I'm sure I've missed some roles here, but you can see why people end up specializing when they work on bigger projects and products. The web is so unbelievably JavaScript heavy nowadays that all these specializations are Kind Of Required™, but that's absolute best case scenario. A lot of companies simply do not have the budget (or desire) to fill all these roles. So then you have a bunch of people who are kinda okay to mediocre at multiple of these things instead focusing on being good at one or two things. And then put in timeline requirements. AND THEN you have some companies who have different philosophies on how to build their core product: some are very UX focused and will put time into making sure that's present, others are not and will not care about UX in the slightest and thus those roles may not exist there at all. And...well things aren't going to be as quality as you expect when you consider all of those points.

The web is full of applications now that require a lot more expertise in different fields than just a basic static site with no data. That's not to say static sites don't exist or have no place anymore, tho. But this is where we are. It sucks.

[um pequeno processo criativo/meu primeiro projeto oficial] lição mágica aprendida hoje: contraste.

˚✧ antiseptic ݁ ੭

BR :

⎯⎯ o processo criativo é a parte mais divertida de um design, as cores, fontes, formas, texturas, tudo é tão bom que me derreto por essa área ♥︎ fico extasiada em como os embasamentos realmente funcionam na prática.

meu PRIMEIRO projeto consistia em fazer um site de refrigeração nas cores azuladas, confesso que odeio não poder encher de símbolos e formas (tirem o figma de mim), mas trabalhar com estilos diferentes me fez refletir como os clientes veem o mundo, então decidi tentar! 𓆩♱𓆪

e o meu primeiro cliente foi meu pai! 🖤

pequenas explicações é apenas a teoria do que pensei, não é necessário ler~

／⠀ ⠀TIPOGRAFIA ⠀⠀ 〜 ♱

𓏲 pesquisei diversas fontes, precisava de algo que não fosse retangular, mas não fosse tão redondo, apesar do aspecto profissional que eu quis passar. a psicologia por trás da forma redonda é bem simples: círculos são associados a suavidade, absoluto, movimento e facilidade, mas não exagere. nenhuma forma deve ser exagerada, isso causa a impressão de mal feito e afastamento, é necessário equilibrar para uma fórmula bem feita. ⛧

／⠀ ⠀CORES ⠀⠀ 〜 ♱

de fato, essa foi a parte mais fácil. a paleta de cores predominante é o azul, o que traz uma sensação de frieza, frio, gelo, tudo o que queremos, certo? (sim.) por se tratar de uma marca de refrigeração, não escolhi o preto como a cor das fontes, mas sim uma cor acinzentada, fugindo do padrão. o laranja foi escolhida por conta do círculo cromático das cores, ou, a velha teoria das cores.

fonte: sla peguei no google / https://blog.adobe.com/br/publish/2022/03/30/como-usar-o-circulo-cromatico-com-o-adobe-color-super-facil

─ é nítido que o azul e o laranja são cores contrárias, então, por que elas parecem tão harmonicas juntas? porque são cores complementares. um pequeno resumo: as cores complementares são aquelas que dão contraste uma a outra, um exemplo interessante é a rapunzel de enrolados, você percebe que a paleta de cor predominante nela é o roxo e o amarelo, pois são cores que se contrastam, ficando assim de forma harmonica.

,⠀cinza e branco: são cores análogas, estão presentes lado a lado no círculo cromático, o resultado é uma cor básica. (imagine aquele seu amigo que fala, aff isso não é roxo, é violeta! entao, é isso...) (eu sou essa chata, ok?) (voce nao pode falar que rosa choque é igual rosa ou eu irei atrás da sua familia) ☆

／⠀ ⠀CONCLUSÃO, uau ⠀⠀ 〜 ♱

é necessário durante a criação pensar no contraste das cores e dos elementos, as formas arrendondadas precisam ser equilibradas com formas retangulares de forma positiva, elementos que normalmente se dão bem juntos são aqueles que se contrastam, é muito interessante pensar em como é necessário dar atenção aos mínimos detalhes. o contraste é uma das ferramentas mais poderosas do design, se utilizada corretamente.

errr, sobre o site? ele continua na fase de programação, mas caso o post tenha uma repercussão boa, eu trarei ele com seu resultado. obrigada a todos que leram até aqui, um comentário e corações me deixariam muito feliz ♡

dúvidas, sugestões ou críticas? me mande um ask, ele está aberto para qualquer tipo de coisa que tenha surgido durante o post. ♥︎

ENG :

[a small creative process/my first official project] magical lesson learned today: contrast.

⎯⎯ creative process is the most enjoyable part of design, the colors, fonts, shapes, textures, everything is so good that I melt for this area ♥︎ i am ecstatic about how the foundations really work in practice.

my FIRST project consisted of creating a cooling website in shades of blue, i confess that i hate not being able to fill it with symbols and shapes (take figma away from me), but working with different styles made me reflect on how clients see the world, so I decided to try! 𓆩♱𓆪

and my first client was my dad! 🖤

small explanations it's just the theory of what I thought, no need to read~

／⠀ ⠀COLORS ⠀⠀ 〜 ♱

indeed, this was the easiest part. the predominant color palette is blue, which brings a sensation of coolness, cold, ice, everything we want, right? (yes.) as it's a cooling brand, I didn't choose black as the font color, but rather a grayish color, deviating from the norm. orange was chosen due to the color wheel theory, or, the old theory of colors.

font: idk, got it from google / https://blog.adobe.com/br/publish/2022/03/30/como-usar-o-circulo-cromatico-com-o-adobe-color-super-facil

─ it's clear that blue and orange are opposite colors, so why do they look so harmonious together? because they are complementary colors. a brief summary: complementary colors are those that contrast with each other, an interesting example is rapunzel from tangled, you notice that the predominant color palette on her is purple and yellow, because they are contrasting colors, thus appearing harmonious.

,⠀gray and white: they are analogous colors, present side by side on the color wheel, resulting in a basic color. (imagine that friend of yours who says, ugh, this isn't purple, it's violet! so, that's it...) (i'm that annoying person, okay?) (you can't say that hot pink is the same as pink or I'll go after your family) ☆

／⠀ ⠀CONCLUSION, wow ⠀⠀ 〜 ♱

it's necessary during creation to think about the contrast of colors and elements, rounded shapes need to be balanced with rectangular shapes positively, elements that usually work well together are those that contrast, it's very interesting to think about how attention to the smallest details is necessary. contrast is one of the most powerful tools in design, if used correctly.

uhh, about the website? it's still in the programming phase, but if the post has a good reception, i'll bring it with its result. thank you to everyone who read this far, a comment and hearts would make me very happy ♡

questions, suggestions, or criticisms? send me an ask, it's open to anything that came up during the post. ♥︎
