Building an Angular Data Grid With Filtering

(This is a sponsored post.) Kendo UI makes it possible to go from a basic idea to a full-fledged app, thanks to a massive component library. We’re talking well over 100 components that are ready for you to drop into your app at will, whether it’s React, Angular or Vue you’re working in — they just work. That is because Kendo UI is actually a bundle of four JavaScript libraries, each built natively for their respective framework. But more than that, as we’ve covered ..

Sticky Definition Lists

I ran across this 30 seconds of code website the other day, and they have a CSS section which is really good! The first example snippet I looked at was this “floating section headers” example, reminding me yet again how satisfying definition lists can be. With nice simple HTML like this: <div class="floating-stack"> <dl> <dt>A</dt> <dd>Algeria</dd> <dd>Angola</dd> <dt>B</dt> <..

How to Implement and Style the Dialog Element

A look from Christian Kozalla on the <dialog> HTML element and using it to create a nice-looking and accessible modal. CodePen Embed Fallback I’m attracted to the <dialog> element as it’s one of those “you get a lot for free” elements (even more so than the beloved <details> element) and it’s so easy to get modal accessibility wrong (e.g. focus trapping) that having this sort of thing provided by a native element seems… great. ::backdr..

Testing Vue Components With Cypress

Cypress is an automated test runner for browser-based applications and pages. I’ve used it for years to write end-to-end tests for web projects, and was happy to see recently that individual component testing had come to Cypress. I work on a large enterprise Vue application, and we already use Cypress for end-to-end tests. Most of our unit and component tests are written with Jest and Vue Test Utils. Once component testing arrived in Cypress, my team was all in favor of ..

On Browser-Specific URL Schemes

We’ve covered URL schemes: A URL Scheme is like “http://…” or “ftp://…”. Those seem like a very low-level concept that you don’t have much control over, but actually, you do! I’d call it non-trivial, but developers can register new URL schemes in apps that users install. Back in 2017, Microsoft Edge did this: microsoft-edge:// If you use that, the behavior is to open the URL in Microsoft Edge — even if you’ve chosen a different default bro..

In-Page Filtered Search With Vanilla JavaScript

If you have a page that includes a lot of information, it’s a good idea to let users search for what they might be looking for. I’m not talking about searching a database or even searching JSON data — I’m talking about literally searching text on a single rendered web page. Users can already use the built-in browser search for this, but we can augment that by offering our own search functionality that filters down the page making matching results easier to find and re..

Userwell is for Managing Customer Feedback

(This is a sponsored post.) Building products for users is a balance between your vision of what your product can do for them, and refining that vision based on their feedback. If you’re really a customer-focused company, you’re listening. And more, you’re making it easy for customers to talk to you. A good user feedback pipeline takes software — but you aren’t building user feedback software too, that would mean lost focus on your real product. That’s where Us..

The Greatest CSS Tricks Vol. I eBook (PDF and EPUB)

When I wrote the “book” The Greatest CSS Tricks Vol. I, I put “book” in quotes because there wasn’t anything terribly book-like about it. The only way you could read it was online, logged into this website, with an MVP supporter membership. No printed version, not even digital copies you might expect from a digital book. I’ve changed that now and offer PDF and EPUB versions of the book. They are free downloads for members — just add them to your cart and chec..

The Semantics of Jamstack

The past year has seen a healthy debate around the term ‘Jamstack’ as the definition gets stretched to include new use cases. I recently posted my take on a Jamstack definition in “Static vs. Dynamic vs. Jamstack: Where’s The Line?” In this article, I want to look at the evolution of Jamstack and what that means for the term. Developers have been creating static sites long before the term Jamstack was coined. The most common use case was an easy way for devel..

Can Include (a Certain HTML element within another Certain HTML Element)

A single-serving website from Alexander Vishnyakov for testing if it’s valid to put any particular HTML element within another type of HTML element. Kinda neat to have a quick reference for this. Some combinations feel fairly obvious: can you put a <video> inside an <input>? Uh, no. Some are trickier: can you put a <div> inside an <h1>? Nope — that one bit me this week (derp). Some are a little confusing, like <div> is an invalid child of ..
