TILT-calendar- part 18

To see the progress , it is good to have a calendar.Discovered angular-calendar – to show events.

The exemaple at https://mattlewis92.github.io/angular-calendar/#/kitchen-sink is pretty self explanatory.

However, another 3 hours passed to have the display.

The ( quasy – final ) result can be seen below ( taken from http://tiltwebapp.azurewebsites.net/AngTilt/tilt/public/ignatandrei )

Bingo for meetings- Adding a CLI application–part 12

Bingo

Bingo is a small project, written in TypeScript , and developed with Alexandru Badita in launch break (one hour - more or less). You can find sources at https://github.com/alexandru360/PresentationBingoCards/ . Those are my blog posts for Bingo : ( scroll below for the post)

The easy way to test an application is to make a simple command line version . You can find the code at https://github.com/alexandru360/PresentationBingoCards/blob/master/bingo-meeting-console/index.ts

You can run also with Docker by running https://github.com/alexandru360/PresentationBingoCards/blob/master/dockerize/bingo_cli.bat

What were the steps ?

1. Install the @types/node, ts-node , typescript and others – see

https://github.com/alexandru360/PresentationBingoCards/blob/master/bingo-meeting-console/package.json

2. Create an index.ts with the required CLI ( hint: prompt, figlet, chalk , username , inquirer,console.table are good to have) – read https://dev.to/hugodias/building-your-first-interactive-node-js-cli-1g2c

3. Created an async main() and calling with

(async () => {
  try {
      await main();
        } catch (e) {
      console.log(JSON.stringify(e));
  }
})();

 

4. Modify package.json  to have

“main”: “dist/index.js”,

“types”: “dist/index.d.ts”,

“scripts”: {

“start”: “ts-node index.ts”,

“build”: “tsc”,

“compile”: “tsc”

}

5. Put in the root package

“scripts”: {

“test”: “cd bingo-meeting-objects-test && yarn test”,

“runConsole”: “cd bingo-meeting-console && yarn start”

}

and then run yarn runConsole

I can say that the C# console experience is better 😉

Leaflet and maps

if you want to display data on maps on the web, then you have a solution for javascript: Leaflet.

First , download the css and js for leaflet from http://leafletjs.com/ . ( and also some plugins, such as lealflet label)  You can include like this:

<link href="~/Scripts/leaflet/leaflet.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<link href="~/Scripts/leafletlabel/leaflet.label.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

<script src="~/Scripts/leaflet/leaflet.js"></script>

<script src="~/Scripts/leafletlabel/leaflet.label.js"></script>

Then you must obtain the data for the map as GeoJson  – for example, from http://www.geo-spatial.org/file_download/29413 you can obtain data for Romania counties. ( If your country is, for example , USA , you can follow this link : http://lmgtfy.com/?q=usa+geojson )

Define a javascript variable (varMyCounties) = your json.

$( document ).ready(function() {
            map = L.map(‘map’).setView([46,25], 7); //here put your country coordinates

            L.tileLayer(‘https://api.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/{id}/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoibWFwYm94IiwiYSI6ImNpandmbXliNDBjZWd2M2x6bDk3c2ZtOTkifQ._QA7i5Mpkd_m30IGElHziw’, {
                maxZoom: 7,
                minZoom: 7,
                attribution: ‘Map data &copy; <a href="http://openstreetmap.org">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors, ‘ +
                    ‘<a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/">CC-BY-SA</a>, ‘ +
                    ‘Imagery © <a href="http://mapbox.com">Mapbox</a>’,
                id: ‘mapbox.light’
            }).addTo(map);

            L.geoJson(varMyCounties, {
                onEachFeature: onEachFeature
            });

 

//customize the display

function onEachFeature(feature, layer) {
            if (feature.geometry && feature.geometry.type)
                if (feature.geometry.type === ‘Polygon’) {

                    // Get bounds of polygon
                    var bounds = layer.getBounds();
                    // Get center of bounds
                    var center = bounds.getCenter();
                    // Use center to put marker on map

                    var countyName = feature.properties.NAME;

//here put a circle on map, depending on the countyName
  radCircle = (40 – 10) * val + (10 * @max – 40 * @min);
                    radCircle = radCircle / (@max – @min);
                    var circle = L.circleMarker([center.lat, center.lng], { fillColor: "#f00", radius: radCircle })
                        .bindLabel(feature.properties.NAME_UTF8 +’:’+ val, { direction: ‘left’})
                       
                        .addTo(map);

                }
        }

Jquery and multiple Ajax

I have had 2 occasions where I need to know when the ajax call have been finished:
  1. When in the beginning of page I have to load specific items that the user have been seen last time
  2. When the page was full with ajax call  – and there was also a “submit” button that should send the information (saved already ) that the user have finished entering the fields .
So – jquery have 2 methods: ajaxStart and ajaxStop.
Code:
Put 2 divs on the page :
<div id=”divWait” style=”display:none”> Please wait…</div>
<div id=”divOK” style=”display:none”> All data submitted</div>
And put this on javascript:
$(“#divWait”).ajaxStart(function() {
$(“#divWait”).show();
$(“#divOK”).hide();
});
 $(“#divWait”).ajaxStop(function() {
$(“#divWait”).hide();
$(“#divOK”).show();
});
