The Journey of JS

Coding is an art. A way to express yourself however you wish for the user to enjoy. It stretches your mind and your comfort zones. This was surely done in my javascript project.

Even though I finish the coursework, honestly js didn’t really stick into my head until I went to react and understood that and doubled back to js. The sense of creating objects and declaring objects was still foreign to me. I didn’t understand the reasoning behind it.

The ability to put addeventlisteners in forms, buttons, and inputs to control the flow of data and the way the user interacts with your site didn’t click. But through times of riding my bike, YouTubing, study groups, and reading blogs it all pieced together.

I learned how to create something simple yet verbose at the same time, a blogging website as I'm doing here. It was something that was on my mind that I personally wanted to bring to fruition. The website works by asking the title of your blog and from then you’re allowed to let your creative juice flow in the content section.

If a reader likes your blog, they are more than welcomed to leave a comment to your blog from a particular addeventlistener of the comment form attached to your particular div of the blog post which was created.

The API in which everything is saved in the backend is rails and works perfectly. A blog could have many comments and comments belong to a blog. All data is serialized as well only posting what a user cares to see and eliminates the jargon of created_at, id, etc.

This project taught me the power of dynamic rendering and why having specific classes is so crucial. I enjoyed creating the blogging website as well as the bootstrap components I added to it.

I have a personal place to call my own to release any idea I dream of.
