Dynamically assign properties and values to a javascript object

I am trying to create a week meal planner. At the moment the scenario is the following:
You click on a time of day (breakfast/lunch/dinner) + day of the week;
A list of recipes fades in;
By selecting (clicking) on a recipe you assign this recipe to the day of th week + time of day previously selected.
I want to store all this data into a JS object, ideally I would like to dynamically create the day object with breakfast/lunch/dinner as keys and recipe as the value but I'm a little stuck here. I've created a jsfiddle as a little demo of what I'm trying achieve. The problem is that when I select for e.g. recipe-1 for Monday breakfast it does correctly get stored but then, if I select recipe-2 for lunch - breakfast gets reassinged a value of 0. Can someone help me understand why is this happening and guide me to a better approach? Any suggestion/ help is very much appreciated! Thank you very much!

You were almost there but the whole issue was that you were resetting the object to default 0 value everytime the user clicks on the recepie.
Instead you need to put some check that if it is already initialized then dont reset it to default.
I have added the below code:
if(!weekly_recipes.week_day.hasOwnProperty(data_day) || Object.keys(weekly_recipes.week_day[data_day]).length === 0){
weekly_recipes.week_day[data_day] = {
'breakfast': 0,
'lunch': 0,
'dinner': 0
};
}
See the working code below:
// find elements
var data_day = '',
time_of_day = '',
recipe = $('.recipes .recipe'),
weekly_recipes = {
'week_day': {}
};
// show list of recipes
$("[data-time]").on("click", function() {
$('.recipes').fadeIn();
time_of_day = $(this).attr('data-time');
data_day = $(this).parents('.column').attr('data-day');
});
recipe.on('click', function() {
var recipe_name = $(this).attr('data-recipe');
console.log(weekly_recipes.week_day[data_day]);
if (!weekly_recipes.week_day.hasOwnProperty(data_day) || Object.keys(weekly_recipes.week_day[data_day]).length === 0) {
weekly_recipes.week_day[data_day] = {
'breakfast': 0,
'lunch': 0,
'dinner': 0
};
}
$('.recipes').fadeOut();
weekly_recipes.week_day[data_day][time_of_day] = recipe_name;
$('.meal-plan').text(JSON.stringify(weekly_recipes));
console.log(weekly_recipes);
});

Your code is very near to work, you only need to take care when the object of some day already exists to not create it again.
See below code, you just create a new day when it doesn't exist, if it already exists, then just add the recipe to the time_of_day of that day
var data_day = '',
time_of_day = '',
recipe = $('.recipes .recipe'),
weekly_recipes = {
'week_day': {}
};
$("[data-time]").on("click", function(){
$('.recipes').fadeIn();
time_of_day = $(this).attr('data-time');
data_day = $(this).parents('.column').attr('data-day');
});
recipe.on('click', function(){
var recipe_name = $(this).attr('data-recipe');
//CHECK FOR DAY EXISTANCE
if (weekly_recipes.week_day[data_day] == null || !weekly_recipes.week_day.hasOwnProperty(data_day)){
weekly_recipes.week_day[data_day] = {
'breakfast': 0,
'lunch': 0,
'dinner': 0
};
}
weekly_recipes.week_day[data_day][time_of_day] = recipe_name;
$('.recipes').fadeOut();
$('.meal-plan').text(JSON.stringify(weekly_recipes));
console.clear()
console.log(weekly_recipes);

Add image below a certain class of element using css

What I want to do:
I want to add a "walkingMan" image under an element when its class is changed to activeCell. I know how to do it when the image is added to the front or back of the element using pseudo class, but as far as I know, there isn't something like :below that I can use to achieve the same effect. Is there a way in css I can use to micmic this?
What I have done:
I have added image below every upper cell and make it visible when the class is changed to activeCell. But I hope to find a more simple solution.
What it looks like:
Code: Simplified Code Example

You can use a single pseudo element on the .cell element and place a background image on it when it's active.
let activeIndex = 0;
const cells = [...document.querySelectorAll('.cell')];
setInterval(() => {
cells.forEach(cell => {
cell.classList.remove('activeCell')
});
cells[activeIndex].classList.add('activeCell');
activeIndex = activeIndex === cells.length - 1 ? 0 : (activeIndex + 1);
}, 300)
.cell {
display: inline-block;
border: 1px solid black;
margin-bottom: 1.2em;
}
.activeCell {
background-color: lightgrey;
position: relative;
}
.activeCell::after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
width: 1em;
height: 1em;
top: 1.3em;
left: calc(50% - .5em); /* Center the stickman. Position it half of its width before the parent center*/
background-image: url('https://www.shareicon.net/data/512x512/2016/01/17/704754_people_512x512.png');
background-size:cover; /* Scale the stickman to completely cover the background area. */
}

I've never been a fan of the ::before and ::after pseudo classes mainly because I've personally noticed some oddities when trying to position things in Chrome vs IE (damn it IE!). Since most people here are going to give a solution using these pseudo classes (because that's somewhat what you asked) I thought I'd give a different solution using flexbox and more divs.
Not the most optimal for download size but I do like that it's not absolute positioning elements and if the squares get bigger or smaller it's pretty easy to handle that as a scss variable at the top of the file. This all uses only two values, your padding between boxes and the size of the boxes so it should be easy to update and maintain.
Anyway, have fun! Awesome question by the way :-)
.blocks {
display: flex;
}
.block {
flex: 0 0 20px;
margin: 0px 5px;
display: flex;
flex-direction:column;
}
.block > .square {
flex: 0 0 20px;
margin: 5px 0px;
background: grey;
}
.block > .space {
flex: 0 0 20px;
margin: 5px 0px;
}
.block.activeCell > .space {
background: green;
}
<div class="blocks">
<div class="block activeCell"><div class="square"></div><div class="space"></div></div>
<div class="block"><div class="square"></div><div class="space"></div></div>
<div class="block"><div class="square"></div><div class="space"></div></div>
<div class="block"><div class="square"></div><div class="space"></div></div>

<div class="block"><div class="square"></div></div>
<div class="block"><div class="square"></div></div>
<div class="block"><div class="square"></div></div>
</div>

Using jQuery you can toggle the class upon clicking with this:
$('.cell').click(function() { //catch clicks on .cell
$('.cell').removeClass('activeCell'); //remove class "activeCell" from all
$(this).addClass('activeCell'); //add class "activeCell" to .cell clicked
});
Apply position: relative; to .top and .bottom:
.top,
.bottom {
position: relative;
}
And use the psuedoclass :before to create a image under the .activeCell
.activeCell:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
bottom: -20px;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background-image: url("https://www.shareicon.net/data/512x512/2016/01/17/704754_people_512x512.png");
background-size: 20px 20px;
}
And remove this:
.walkingMan {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
display: inline-block
}
And this:
<img src="https://www.shareicon.net/data/512x512/2016/01/17/704754_people_512x512.png" alt="walkingMan" class='walkingMan'/>
And to add space between the divs .top and .bottom put a <br> between them.
$('.cell').click(function() {
$('.cell').removeClass('activeCell');
$(this).addClass('activeCell');
});
.cell {
display: inline-block;
border: 1px solid black;
cursor: pointer;
}
.top,
.bottom {
position: relative;
}
.activeCell {
background-color: lightgrey;
}
.activeCell:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
bottom: -20px;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background-image: url("https://www.shareicon.net/data/512x512/2016/01/17/704754_people_512x512.png");

You can do something like this, using CSS only. With :target selector you can apply a style to the element you need to hide / show.
.container {
display: inline-block;
width: 100px;
height: 200px;
}
.link {
display: block;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: #ccc;
}
.walking-man {
display: none;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: red;
}
#p1:target {
display: block;
}
#p2:target {
display: block;
}
#p3:target {
display: block;
}
#p4:target {
display: block;
}
height: 90px;
float: left;
}
.walking-man img {
width: 100%;
}
.walkin-man:target {
display: block;
}
<div class="container">

jQuery-based animations for FreeCodeCamp Project are slow and inconsistent

I'm just doing my final project for FreeCodeCamp's Front end certificate. I turned it into a fighting game, for which the button sequences initiate moves. The problem is that the animations are really buggy. Here are the details:
---Background---
-The codepen link and code are at the bottom
-When I coded it locally, everything worked great, and the player actions were were done using jquery-based animations. (I used the setTimeout(), animation(), css(), and attr() a lot to move the avatars around and switch pictures to show movement
--The problem---
-I put the code on codepen, and so I needed to host the sprite images to use them (I used dropbox). This change caused the animations to not work properly. Some of the images and sounds either load slowly or not at all. If you go to the codepen and try the buttons at the bottom you will quickly see what I mean.
---What I tried---
-I thought that maybe this might be a problem with the app taking too long to load the assets and cache them. (because some of the animations became more fluid after I repeated them) So I added a function near the top to load the photos at the beginning 'imageInit()'. But the problem persists.
Can anyone please help me figure out what is making my jquery animations so choppy and inconsistent? Am I using the wrong techniques perhaps? Please let me know if you need any more info about this. The code is below:
Thank you!

Why is my carousel snapping to the top on user interaction?

I've made a carousel on my single page website that displays some of my photography work. The problem I'm having is that whenever I click one of the arrows to access the next picture - left or right, I am instantly snapped to the top of the page!
I've checked through both the CSS and JS and I can't seem to find any reason as to why this would be occurring.
HTML:
<div class="container">
<h3><span class="underline">Exploration</span></h3>
<p>I love exploring and capturing epic moments on my journeys. Here's some of my favourites from my latest trip across the west coast of America.</p>

You need to add e.preventDefault(); to your onlick functions
Check the fiddle
EDIT
As I just commented in the comment section it is the href="#" that is causing the page to the jump to the top. So technically if you remove the achor tag the e.preventDefault(); is not necessary. But it is good to keep it.

Add a parameter (e) to your click callback functions then prevent default post (that an anchor tag with href set has) with this line:
e.preventDefault();
like this:
//Next Arrow Functionality
$('.arrow-next').click(function (e) {
var currentSlide = $('.active-slide');
var nextSlide = currentSlide.next();
var currentDot = $('.active-dot');
var nextDot = currentDot.next();
if (nextSlide.length == 0) {
nextSlide = $('.slide').first();
nextDot = $('.dot').first();
}
currentSlide.fadeOut(600).removeClass('active-slide');
nextSlide.fadeIn(600).addClass('active-slide');
currentDot.removeClass('active-dot');
nextDot.addClass('active-dot');
e.preventDefault();
});
//Previous Arrow Click Functionality
$('.arrow-prev').click(function (e) {
var currentSlide = $('.active-slide');
var prevSlide = currentSlide.prev();
var currentDot = $('.active-dot');
var prevDot = currentDot.prev();
if (prevSlide.length == 0) {
prevSlide = $('.slide').last();
prevDot = $('.dot').last();
}
currentSlide.fadeOut(600).removeClass('active-slide');
prevSlide.fadeIn(600).addClass('active-slide');
currentDot.removeClass('active-dot');
prevDot.addClass('active-dot');
e.preventDefault();
});

How would I make it so this box can be minimized and maximized?

#you {
background-color: rgba(65,64,61,0.5);
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
right: 200px;
padding: 7px;
border-radius: 0px 0px 3px 3px;
width: 165px;
border: 2px solid #41403d;
}
#exitb {
background: url(http://playneko.co.uk/exit.png);
height: 19px;
width: 19px;
border-radius: 3px;
}
#exitb:hover {
background: url(http://playneko.co.uk/exit_hover.png);
}
Thats my css code andd this is the box I have
<div id="you">
<div style="height: 110px; width: 57px; float: left; overflow: hidden;">
<img src="http://www.habbo.nl/habbo-imaging/avatarimage?figure='.$user['look'].'&direction=3&head_direction=3&action=wav,crr=667&size=m" alt="avatar" class="rotate" align="left">
</div>
<div style="position: absolute; z-index:1">'.$aanwezag.'</div>
<br/>
</td>
<div style="cursor:pointer;position:absolute;top:10px;left:65px;font-size:18px;font-family: Times;">%habboName%</div>
<div style="cursor:pointer;position:absolute;top:30px;left:65px;font-size:18px;font-family: Times;">' . $users->getRankName($user['rank']) . '</div>
<div style="cursor:pointer;position:absolute;top:50px;left:65px;font-size:18px;font-family: Times;"><font color="#FF0040">'. $user['age'] .' Years Old</font></div>
<div style="cursor:pointer;position:absolute;top:70px;left:65px;font-size:18px;font-family: Times;"><font color="#088A4B">'. $user2['AchievementScore'] .' Score</font></div>
<div style="cursor:pointer;position:absolute;top:90px;left:65px;font-size:18px;font-family: Times;"><font color="#01A9DB">'. $user2['Respect'] .' Respects</font></div>
<div style="cursor:pointer;position:absolute;top:81px;left:5px;font-size:20px;font-family: Times;"><img src="%www%/flags/'. $user['country'] .'.png"></div>
</div>
How would I add the exit image on the right of the box to be able to minimize and maximise the box? if you can help it would be greatly appreciated.

For example, you have to wrap a content which should toggle into a separate div and toggle this div instead of whole #you element
<div id="you">
<div id="exitb">-</div>
<div id=content>
...
</div>
</div>
$("#content").slideToggle();
https://jsfiddle.net/Qy6Sj/1602/

I'm not quite sure if this is what you wanted or not. I have moved the #exitb id out of the #you wrapper and positioned it as absolute as well in order to move it into the image. Moreover, I simplified the code a little bit to use just a text, + and -, instead of image icons.
HTML:
<div id="exitb">-</div>
<div id="you">
...
</div>
Javascript:
$("#exitb").click(function () {
if ($(this).html() == "-") {
$(this).html("+");
} else {
$(this).html("-");
}
$("#you").slideToggle();
});
CSS:
#exitb {
text-align: center;
color: #fff;
background-color: red;
height:19px;
width:19px;
border-radius:3px;
cursor: point;
position:absolute;
top:0px;
right:200px;
z-index: 10;
cursor: pointer;
}
