I have a clip that I develop and I want to reuse a fade in incident instead o creating a new incident every time is this possible? The way I am doing it at the moment looks like this:\
const attrs = {animatedAttrs:{opacity:1}}
const props = {selector:".elem",duration:1000}
const fadeInOne = new CSSEffect(attrs,props)
const fadeInTwo = new CSSEffect(attrs,props)
clip.addIncindet(fadeOne,1000)
// do something else and then later on
clip.addIncident(fadeTwo,1000)
Is there a better way to do this?
To accomplish what you want you could do the following:
const attrs = {animatedAttrs:{opacity:1}}
const props = {selector:".elem",duration:1000}
const fadeIn = () => new CSSEffect(attrs,props)
clip.addIncindet(fadeIn(),1000)
// do something else and then later on
clip.addIncident(fadeIn(),1000)
Note *: you could add argument to the fadeIn function and make some of the data dynamic such as the selector or the duration, or event add different easing.

I have a project which is responsible for managing the rendering of elements, but I'm running into a performance issue replacing elements and then focusing on whatever had focus before.
Below is a minimal example that replicates the performance issue:
const renderPage = () => {
// get the old section element
const oldSection = document.querySelector('section')
// create a new section element (we'll replaceWith later)
const newSection = document.createElement('section')
// create the render button
const newButton = document.createElement('button')
newButton.innerHTML = 'Render Page'
newButton.onclick = renderPage
newSection.appendChild(newButton)
// create a bunch of elements
const dummyDivs = [...new Array(100000)].forEach(() => {
const dummy = document.createElement('div')
dummy.innerHTML = 'dummy'
newSection.appendChild(dummy)
})
// replace the old page with the new one (causes forced reflow)
oldSection.replaceWith(newSection)
// reattach focus on the button (causes forced reflow)
newButton.focus()
}
window.renderPage = renderPage
<section>
<button onclick="renderPage()">Render</button>
</section>
When running this locally, I see the following in the performance report in Chrome/Edge
Both replaceWith and focus are triggering forced reflow. Is there a way to batch or group these actions so that only a single reflow occurs? I realize that there's no way to really get around this happening at all, but if I can batch them, I think that might improve my performance.
Indeed, focus always causes a reflow: What forces layout / reflow
So what you may do, is to reduce the reflowtime by inserting the new button standalone, initiate focus and after that you can append other childs:
Working example: Example
const renderPage = () => {
// get the old section element
const oldSection = document.querySelector('section')
// create a new section element (we'll replaceWith later)
const newSection = document.createElement('section')
// create the render button
const newButton = document.createElement('button')
newButton.innerHTML = 'Render Page'
newButton.onclick = renderPage
newSection.appendChild(newButton)
// create a bunch of elements
const dummies = []; // store in seperate array
const dummyDivs = [...new Array(100000)].forEach(() => {
const dummy = document.createElement('div')
dummy.innerHTML = 'dummy';
dummies.push(dummy)
})
// insert new section only with new button
oldSection.replaceWith(newSection)
newButton.focus(); // always causes reflow; but fast because it's only one element
// store all other nodes after focus
newSection.append(...dummies)
}
window.renderPage = renderPage
Within my function, through interaction from the user, I aim slowly build up an array of responses which I then pass off to an API. However, different approaches to append to the array, simply return a single position array (overwrite).
My current code as follows:
const contribution: Array = [];
const handlePress = () => {
var col = {
response,
user: 1,
update: update.id,
question: q.id,
};
contribution = [...contribution, col];
}
My understanding is that contribution = [...contribution, col] is the correct way to add to the array.
What is the best practice approach for doing this inside a function called each time the user interacts?
Although it is not clear from the question, I suspect, this code is inside a component. If so, then a new contribution array is created on every render. You need to use useState to store this array so that a new array is not created on every render.
const [contribution, setContribution] = React.useState([]);
const handlePress = () => {
var col = {
response,
user: 1,
update: update.id,
question: q.id,
};
setContribution([...contribution, col]);
}
I have a form that dynamically enters elements to a react state array on click, and obviously between clicks the state persists. I am trying to now do the same thing programatically but in each iteration the state does not persist, is the only answer to this truly a context object or local storage or is there something wrong with my iteration that I can correct to allow state to persist.
Ive simplified the code basically the button firing will add as many elements as I want but trying to tell react to create 3 elements via the for const only creates 1. I have scripts to write state to session storage, so if there's not some big thing i'm missing, I'll probably just do that, but i figure I'd ask and see cause it would drastically improve the overall health of my app if i knew the solution to this.
const sectionI = {
type: "i",
sectionArea: "",
};
const [i, setI] = useState([])
const strArr = ["i","i","i"]
const addI = () =>{
const newI = [...i, {...sectionI}]
setI(newI)
}
<button onClick={()=>addI()}>Add One Image</button>
const addMultiple = () =>{
for(const el of strArr){
const newI = [...i, {...sectionI}]
setI(newI)
}
}
I will show you how to fix it and give you a link to another one of my answers for the explanation. Here is how to fix the issue:
const addMultiple = () =>{
for(const el of strArr){
setI(prevState => [
...prevState,
{...sectionI},
])
}
}
And here is why it is happening: https://stackoverflow.com/a/66560223/1927991
i'm working on a simple note-taking app for my portfolio using JS and Firebase. Before i tell you what's happening i feel like i need to show you how my code works, if you have any tips and concerns please tell me as it would be GREATLY appreciated. That being said, let's have a look "together". I'm using this class to create the notes:
const htmlElements = [document.querySelector('.notes'), document.querySelector('.note')];
const [notesDiv, noteDiv] = htmlElements;
class CreateNote {
constructor(title, body) {
this.title = title;
this.body = body;
this.render = () => {
const div1 = document.createElement('div');
div1.className = 'notes-prev-container';
div1.addEventListener('click', () => { this.clickHandler(this) });
const div2 = document.createElement('div');
div2.className = 'notes-prev';
const hr = document.createElement('hr');
hr.className = 'notes__line';
// Nest 'div2' inside 'div1'
div1.appendChild(div2);
div1.appendChild(hr);
/*
Create Paragraph 1 & 2 and give them the same
class name and some text
*/
const p1 = document.createElement('p');
p1.className = 'notes-prev__title';
p1.innerText = this.title;
const p2 = document.createElement('p');
p2.className = 'notes-prev__body';
p2.innerText = this.body;
// Nest p 1 & 2 inside 'div2'
div2.appendChild(p1);
div2.appendChild(p2);
// Finally, render the div to its root tag
notesDiv.appendChild(div1);
}
}
/*
Every time this method is called, it creates 2 textareas,
one for the note title and the other for its body then it
appends it to the DOM.
*/
renderNoteContent () {
const title = document.createElement('textarea');
title.placeholder = 'Title';
title.value = this.title;
title.className = 'note__title';
const body = document.createElement('textarea');
body.placeholder = 'Body';
body.value = this.body;
body.className = 'note__body';
noteDiv.appendChild(title);
noteDiv.appendChild(body);
}
/*
When this method is called, it checks to see if there's a
note rendered already (childElementCount === 1 because there's a
button, so if there's only this button it means there's no
textareas rendered).
If yes, then merely call the renderNoteContent method. Else
get the tags with the classes 'note__title' and 'note__body'
and remove them from the DOM, then call renderNoteContent to
create the textareas with the clicked notes values.
This function gets mentioned at line 19.
*/
clickHandler(thisClass) {
if (noteDiv.childElementCount === 1) {
thisClass.renderNoteContent();
} else {
document.querySelector('.note__title').remove();
document.querySelector('.note__body').remove();
thisClass.renderNoteContent();
}
}
}
Now i need 2 buttons, createNotesButton and saveNotesButton respectively. These 2 buttons must be inside a function that will be called inside .onAuthStateChanged (why? because they will be needing access to the currentUser on firebase auth).
I want the createNotesButton to create a note prototype, render it to the DOM and create a new document on firestore, where this note contents will be stored. Here's how i did it:
PS: I feel like i'm not using this class correctly, so again if you have any tips i appreciate it.
import {db} from '../../firebase_variables/firebase-variables.js';
import {CreateNote} from '../create_notes_class/create_notes_class.js';
const htmlElements = [
document.querySelector('.createNotes-button'),
document.querySelector('.saveNotes-button')
];
const [createNotesButton, saveNotesButton] = htmlElements;
function clickHandler(user) {
/*
1. Creates a class.
2. Creates a new document on firebase with the class's empty value.
3. Renders the empty class to the DOM.
*/
createNotesButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
const note = new CreateNote('', '');
note.render();
// Each user has it's own note collection, said collection has their `uid` as name.
db.collection(`${user.uid}`).doc().set({
title: `${note.title}`,
body: `${note.body}`
})
})
}
Now i need a saveNotesButton, he's the one i'm having issues with. He needs to save the displayed note's content on firestore. Here's what i tried doing:
import {db} from '../../firebase_variables/firebase-variables.js';
import {CreateNote} from '../create_notes_class/create_notes_class.js';
const htmlElements = [
document.querySelector('.createNotes-button'),
document.querySelector('.saveNotes-button')
];
const [createNotesButton, saveNotesButton] = htmlElements;
function clickHandler(user) {
createNotesButton.addEventListener('click', () => {...})
/*
1. Creates 2 variables, `title` and `body, if there's not a note being displayed
their values will be null, which is why the rest of the code is inside an if
statement
2. If statement to check if there's a note being displayed, if yes then:
1. Call the user's note collection. Any document who has the title field equal to the
displayed note's value gets returned as a promise.
2. Then call an specific user document and update the fields `title` and `body` with
the displayed note's values.
3. If no then do nothing.
*/
saveNotesButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
const title = document.querySelector('.note__title');
const body = document.querySelector('.note__body');
db.collection(`${user.uid}`).where('title', '==', `${title.value}`)
.get()
.then(userCollection => {
db.collection(`${user.uid}`).doc(`${userCollection.docs[0].id}`).update({
title: `${title.value}`,
body: `${body.value}`
})
})
.catch(error => {
console.log('Error getting documents: ', error);
});
});
}
This didn't work because i'm using title.value as a query, so if i change it's value it will also change the queries direction to a path that doesn't exist.
So here's the question: how can i make it so the saveNotesButton does its job? I was thinking of adding another field to each note, something that won't change so i can easily identify and edit each note. Again, if there's something in my code that you think can or should be formatted please let me know, i'm using this project as a way to solidify my native JS knowledge so please be patient. I feel like if i had used React i would've finished this sometime ago but definitely wouldn't have learned as much, anyway thanks for your help in advance.

Yes, you absolutely need an immutable identifier for each note document in the firestore so you can unambiguously reference it. You almost always want this whenever you're storing a data object, in any application with any database.
But, the firestore already does this for you: after calling db.collection(user.uid).doc() you should get a doc with an ID. That's the ID you want to use when updating the note.
The part of your code that interacts with the DOM will need to keep track of this. I suggest moving the code the creates the firestore document into the constructor of CreateNote and storing it on this. You'll need the user id there as well.
constructor(title, body, userId) {
this.title = title;
this.body = body;
const docRef = db.collection(userId).doc();
this.docId = docRef.id;
/* etc. */
Then any time you have an instance of CreateNote, you'll know the right user and document to reference.
Other suggestions (since you asked)
Use JsPrettier. It's worth the setup, you'll never go back.
Use HTML semantics correctly. Divs shouldn't be appended as children of hrs, because they're for "a thematic break between paragraph-level elements: for example, a change of scene in a story, or a shift of topic within a section." MDN
For your next project, use a framework. Essentially no one hand-codes event listeners and appends children to get things done. I see the value for basic understanding, but there's a rich and beautiful world of frameworks out there; don't limit yourself by avoiding them :-)
I have a small discussion with my colleague and I would like to know what other people think about this. I don't like initializing properties that might not be used.
The regex is not in the method itself because we don't want to initialize the regex every time.
File helpers/service.js
How I would do it:
let serviceCheckRegExp = null;
export const isServiceUrl = url => {
if (!serviceCheckRegExp) serviceCheckRegExp = new RegExp(getApi('service'),'i');
return serviceCheckRegExp.test(url);
};
How my colleague would do it:
const serviceCheckRegExp = new RegExp(getApi('service'),'i');
export const isServiceUrl = url => serviceCheckRegExp.test(url);
