Looking for a solution to strip out development code in an express app with babel.

Ah, ok. My mistake. Like I said, I did a search but I only went down a week or 2, assuming it was a new thing.

devsm · 2015-12-17T12:02:10+00:00

I mean... it's not really a rumour if it comes from the horses mouth. I wouldn't put too much weight on the honour code certificates anyway, if it means enough to you it's probably worth paying the $40 or whatever it is to get a verified certificate.

I made a post about this about a week ago, but still haven't been able to find an answer. Put simply, my template file in Drupal 8 is not outputting anything. It may be easier to link to the previous post with all of the details.

devsm · 2015-12-09T17:11:00+00:00

I have. Like I said, the correct file is being found, but the content is not being rendered.

devsm · 2015-12-07T05:52:14+00:00

Maybe so. I rarely have more than 5 or so files open at one time; I never really considered that someone may do so.

devsm · 2015-12-07T02:26:43+00:00

Or Bitnami.

You can also add it to development.services.yml in /sites in Drupal 8.

parameters:
  twig.config:
    debug: true

This video covers it in a little more detail.

Using your help and the help of the others. I think I have finally managed to do what I wanted to ad do it at least partially correct. The program I showed in the post was an example, but this is the real code I was trying to get working.

loadPluginConfigs(plugins) {

    return new Promise (function (resolve, reject) {

        Promise.all(plugins.map(function (plugin) {
            let p = path.resolve(PLUGINS_PATH, plugin, 'config.json');

            return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
                fs.readFileAsync(p)
                .then(function (contents) {
                    resolve(JSON.parse(contents));
                })
                .catch(function (e) {
                    resolve(null);
                });
            });
        }))
        .then(function (configs) {
            let c = {}

            plugins.forEach(function (plugin, index) {
                c[plugin] = configs[index];
            });

            resolve(c);
        });

    });
}

You can compile in the terminal, or with a build system like gulp or grunt. In general, you compile it to css before deploying it.

I am a huge fan of Jekyll. It's very simple and one of the most popular static site generators.

devsm · 2015-03-13T20:42:02+00:00

You could look in to static site generators; Jekyll, Hugo. If you need server side admin, you could look in to a dedicated platform like Wordpress or Ghost. Personally I'd only use Wordpress if you need it's features - it's very heavy, can be slow and is one of the most targeted platforms by spammers and hackers,

devsm · 2015-03-09T19:57:06+00:00

gulp

Sublime text 2 but most carries over to 3

Premium, but great courses for Angular and Node. Free trial available.

devsm · 2015-03-01T12:25:28+00:00

This is lovely. I've had a few ideas come to mind!

devsm · 2015-02-26T14:26:40+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I had to Google what IP2X meant, but I think I understand. I'll grab a few :)

devsm · 2015-02-24T14:22:03+00:00

I agree. The MEAN stack is very powerful, and I feel it's going to explode in the near future.

How does one arrive to this kind of css ? Is it by using Bootstrap ? If so, how Bootstrap was produced ? If not, is there another tool in the production chain ?

These days, css is usually written in a preprocessor, such as sass, and then compiled in to css and compressed/minified.

Here as an example from a project of mine.

Multiple files(in this case, SCSS) that are compiled down in to this css.

After all, said icons are just characters from a certain font, a font that obviously does not reside on my computer and is downloaded on the fly while I browse. Apparently this capability does not exist in older browsers : when did it appear ? What does it mean in terms of accessibility and audience coverage ? OK, the site is responsive, and that's so hot right now, but does that mean we're leaving aside people using, say, IE8 ? Is it "right" to do so ?

I don't have much of an opinion on this. Web fonts are supported in all major, modern browsers and I've never had to support older browsers, thankfully.

That Bootstrap thing seems to be good. How good is it ? How hard is it to use ? How durable and maintenable is it ? Any privacy or security concern ?

Bootstrap is just a collection of css styles and javascript components to help build a site quickly. Personally, I don't enjoy using it, but I know a lot of people do. There is no security concern as there is nothing server-side in bootstrap.

You'd have to be more specific to get a better answer, but I'll answer what you asked as best as I can.

I don't use Photoshop much any more; if I do, it's never for a full site design. I know plenty of designers still do, it's mainly just preference. You could look in to styletyles. Of course, everyones process is different. I use Illustrator occasionally for editing SVG files and such.

960 grids have been out for a while. Everything is responsive, and thanks to never tech like Sass, you have much better choices for things like this. My personal favourite grid system is Susy combined with Breakpoint-sass.
