Cascading Dropdowns with React

Scopique November 7, 2019

Cascading dropdowns is a popular paradigm, especially when dealing with search or filters. The gist is that making a selection in a dropdown list will load a subset of a greater dataset into another dropdown. This can carry on through several other…

Reactionary – Class vs Functional Components with Hooks

Scopique November 5, 2019

Here’s a story about two methods of approaching the same React-based goal. The first concerns class components, while the second concerns functional components. Both result in the same output: a dropdown list box that contains ID values. Both source from the same…

Reactionary – Header.js

Scopique November 1, 2019

I’m publishing this one on the heels of the previous post because tomorrow is Saturday and I might forget. Now we’re getting somewhere! Header.js is currently the workhorse of this system. Keep in mind that this file is only running the header…

React and SignalR

Scopique November 1, 2019

I told myself I wasn’t going to inundate the web with an avalanche of posts today, but I feel like I need to make just this one while I have it in mind. Although my knowledge of React is now passable, I…

Reactionary – HeaderUser.js

Scopique November 1, 2019

I’m talking about this file next because it’s smaller, and there are a lot more things to talk about with Header.js than there are here. Line 1 should be familiar if you read the previous post. It aliases the ‘react’ library as…

React and Node with Colyseus

Scopique October 31, 2019

Here’s a short (hopefully) aside while I’m in the midst of my “Idiot’s Guide to React (As told my an actual idiot)” series. Learning something like React is cool, in part because it’s high on the list of “hot languages and stuff”…

Reactionary – HeaderTitle.js

Scopique October 31, 2019

I debated whether or not to talk about this file, because it doesn’t do anything worth talking about, but I decided to include it because we can use it to discuss the structure of a simple React file. React relies on the…

Reactionary

Scopique October 30, 2019

I had been working on a header design for an upcoming rework of several of our apps. I wanted a “unified” look and feel, because sometimes when you’re dealing with different developers over several years making intranet apps without adult supervision, things…

Developer Blues

Scopique October 30, 2019

I am really the last person you’d want doling out development advice, trust me. I have been “doing development” for about 20 years now, but the thing about doing development is that you’ll never be good enough unless you have a natural…

Going to Market

Scopique October 15, 2019

With the Big Bang generation done to the point where commodities are generated at both the planetary (production) and station (sales) level, it’s time to surface the result of this work in the marketplace. The flow is pretty simple: A character enters…
