How do I tell someone using mysql_connect that pdo is superior and not deprecated without sounding like a total elitist asshole?

Best server side validation package for express/node?
Colton James
Some people like express-validator but I don't really think form validation needs to be middleware.
I like "forms" aka caolan/forms, it's straightforward and sanely configurable
Jackson Barnes
what framework and what do you work on mostly?
Jose Ramirez
express-validator is the best I've found.
Eli Johnson
How do you properly store Database credentials for creating a new PDO in php? Right now this is what i have, but it seems remarkably dumb to store them as plain text on the server. class KurassuNeemu { private $host = 'mai.hosu.to'; private $user = 'yuuzaa'; private $password = 'Pas5uwa4D0'; private $dbase = 'deeta-beesu';
public function establish_connection() { try { return new PDO ( 'mysql:host=' . $host . ';dbname=' . $dbase, $user, $password ); } catch ( PDOException $e ) { } } }
Zachary White
Traditionally you have a config file that holds environment-specific configuration stuff, and it looks something like this:
This is exporting environment variables that your application can look for. This does not go into source control, it is generated on the server, somewhere nowhere near publicly served directories, and exists only there.
For a more systemic solution, there are packages like vault, and chef and puppet have arguably naive solutions for secret storage.

I have a website built w/ node/express as backend.
It's gonna be a private site, w/ apps and personal stuff (blog perhaps).
I plan on using Digital Ocean for hosting.
What's the best way to set this up in a reasonable way? What are the tools and prerequisites I need?
Ian Price
Can you repeat the question?

Is Laravel good choice that will be around for a long time? Wanna learn some php framework and be good at it.
Christopher Price
definitely yes.
Hudson Baker
Best way/practices to setup website with node?
Liam Barnes
Thank you I will look into it when I have time.
In the mean time I only use free templates, rip other peoples code and modify it, so far only static pages but I am interested in dynamic ones.
I guess I should look in SQL and php as well
Gavin Barnes
The simples way would be a premade "node droplet" on digital ocean, if they still have those?
For SQL you should learn the basic syntax and then look into the book "SQL anti patterns", it's great to learn how to avoid some (very common) pitfalls.

How do I put default values in constructors? // es6 class Carousel { constructor(options) { this.name = options.name; this.email = options.email } }
The third course, where you start doing Java, specifically teaches you how to understand gargantuan code bases and libraries which is what every single developer these days is doing and not building shit from scratch.
After a few of those courses just get some React book or Vue.js book and bang some shit out

Jeremiah Fisher
what if I only supplied 1 argument and the rest is default?
ex: var c = new teste({nome:'José'});
How do I detect the index of the supplied arg? Or are there any other way?
I'm thinking of: constructor() { let args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments); args.forEach(function(i, index, array) { if (i === null) { i[index]

Is bulma.io decent? How well does it work on mobile? I'm getting sick of Bootstrap
Anthony Ramirez
Using it right now. You'll have to get used to the convention, but otherwise it's solid. No js = no opinions on how to run shit. It's flexbox based (as is BS4), so solid as fuck in responsive design.

Is git normally super slow over sshfs? I don't want to waste time setting up a local environment for WordPress dev so I'm doing things over sshfs, but git add takes a minute versus a second a or two which is a little annoying
Nathan Martinez
How do people debug their program while doing webdev? I feel like I'm completely in the dark while writing javascript backend / frontend since I won't get any warnings at all from my IDE. For example I spent one hour trying to solve a problem on the react frontend and it turned out that I had simply written this.email instead of this.state.email.
Landon Anderson
warnings from your IDE isn't debugging lmao debugging in webdev is the same as in other fields actually learn what debugging is friend

I will repost my offer once here. It has no value for experienced programmers, but you know, there are people who pay for code camps to learn. And my offer has more value than these paid codecamps.
Gentlemen. I'm looking for junior devs, pajeets, neets and anyone who is willing to become my slave. I have an offer that can be interesting for you.
I have a side-project with some commercial potential, but I don't have enough time to develop it myself. So, I'm looking for people of any skill level who want to practice and do job for me. I will give you tasks, and you will be free to implement them in any way you want — microservice hell is what we will create.
What is your benefit? - You will get real tasks. If you are learning to code, real-world task may be good for you to understand what expects you in the industry; - You will get some experience of working with a real client. You will see how real-world interaction may look like; - My feedback and code review may help you improve your skills; - You'll be able to add "I know how to develop microservices" line into your CV; - When the project becomes profitable, you risk getting a low-paid laid-back job, you will have the opportunity to feel the pain of microservice integration and so on.
What is my benefit? - Free coders; - Opportunity to find people for future mutually-beneficial exploitation.
These day I'm using Vue but React is the 800 lb gorilla.

Money does not make you a real programmer
Chase Cook
This is where you're wrong.
Web dev is programming whether or not you want it to be.
I have done both for probably, and hopefully, longer than you've been alive. Definitely programming and definitely harder in some areas than conventional native programming.
Brandon Gutierrez
if someone is using mysql_connect let em know its deprecated and existing ways exist to breach databases using that. Then charge em a lot of money just to replace things with PDO's because they assume it will cost a lot of money. Unless its your coworker, in which case youre fucked m80

what's the best way to get number of rows with PDO? I know that shit with count(*) but I just hate that I have to write the same shit twice when I'm using SELECT like this $query=$conn->query("SELECT * FROM {$table} {$where}"); $row=$conn->query("SELECT count(*) FROM {$table} {$where}");
Am I doing it wrong?
David Russell
the `mongo` command will put you into a mongo shell. your data should be stored at /data/db unless you or your method of installation changed that.
Decided to write my own code to filter a few portfolio elements on a page (pic related).
How can I make this code a bit more efficient and dynamic? I'm basically making a template and I want the user to be able to change the categories without having to edit the JS.
btw I used jQuery because JS is not my strongest point, I mostly do backend work.
Gabriel Howard
figured it out by just typing stuff :) Thanks! it works!
Evan Diaz
Nice.
Improvements:
1) You don't need to use "each" for an array of jQuery elements. 2) You don't need a separate function per button. Make a generic function and use data tags or something. 3) Minor nitpick but if you bind a listener to the parent, then you can dynamically add more buttons later (if you bind to button, newly created buttons will not inherit events).
Also, hating on jQuery is a meme. It's good for prototyping/ projects where you are doing significant dom manipulation and don't have nazi performance restrictions.
Aaron Turner
Damn this is so clean. Way more efficient than the spaghetti I wrote lol. Thank you user.

Tyler Howard
couple of super simple questions (for anyone viewing really)
do you look for clients/small businesses with old shitty sites or do you offer them to make them a new one? I can imagine both
how does your clients manage their sites, wordpress?
also I can build responsive sites fairly easy, how would I go about speeding up the process of learning backend or to build a dynamic website (eCommerce, blogs, etc)
thanks in advance
Carson Allen
what should i use for scraping and submitting forms, php or node.js?
Eli Perez
Rewrite User.findById to return a promise, or trying to use async / await isn't gonna really improve anything.
async function userById(id) { return await new Promise((resolve, reject) => { User.findById(id, (err, user) => { if (err) return reject(err); resolve(user); }); }); }
function roleAuthorization(type) { return (req, res, next) => userById(req.user._id) .then(user => (type === user.userType ? next() : res.status(401).json({ error: 'You are not authorized to view this content', }) && next('Unauthorized')) .catch(err => (res.status(422) .json({error: 'No user found.'}) && next(err)) ) }
That's pretty bad but you get the idea.
Christian Bennett
Depends how you intend to scrape.
No API and the website generates content through JavaScript? Selenium with PhantomJS (there's node.js and python modules)
No API and the website doesn't require JS?
Node.js with that jQuery equivalent on the server side. Use async/await to make your life easier. Python with lxml and the requests library is a good choice too.
Jaxon Fisher
alright, i'll go with selenium with phantomjs. thanks very much
Jackson Morales
How do I prevent storing my MySQL DB login info in plaintext in my relevant php files? I can prevent these files from being committed, but they comprise the bulk of my project.
Should I make a single seperate PHP file that just handles login validation and direct the others there, or is there a better way?
Adrian Sanders
Probably clear from that example that I'm not a big fan of the async / await approach, but here's a more aggressive version:
async function userById(id) { return await new Promise((resolve, reject) => { User.findById(id, (err, user) => { if (err) return reject(err); resolve(user); }); }); }
async function roleAuthorization(type) { return (req, res, next) => { try { const user = await userById(req.user._id); return type === user.userType ? next() : res.status(401).json({ error: 'You are not authorized to view this content', }) && next('Unauthorized')); } catch(err) { return res.status(422) .json({error: 'No user found.'}) && next(err); } }; }
Using async / await basically trades out your error handling mechanics for try / catch blocks, which I personally dislike vs promise catch. In this case, if you want to use async / await over promises, I'd recommend returning null instead of doing error stuff:
async function userById(id) { return await new Promise((resolve, reject) => { User.findById(id, (err, user) => { if (err) return resolve(null); resolve(user); }); }); }
async function roleAuthorization(type) { return (req, res, next) => { const user = await userById(req.user._id);
if (!user) { return res.status(422) .json({error: 'No user found.'}) && next(err); }
return type === user.userType ? next() : res.status(401).json({ error: 'You are not authorized to view this content', }) && next('Unauthorized')); }; }
Andrew Jones
>they comprise the bulk of my project.
Brandon Jones
What is the actual audience for your project? Are you just uploading your own personalised work to Github as a means to show that you know PHP and SQL to others or is it something that other people can actually use?
If it is the latter then you should see up an installation page that allows the user to set up their own database details.
Nathan Williams
That's a good question actually. I'm mainly just using git for version control, I don't care about people seeing the source, so I'll probably just set the repo to private and continue on the same way.
Joseph Fisher
Alternatively consider selenium with chrome headless, as working with the outdated junk in nodejs can be a big pain in the ass.
Nathan Davis
What is the best way to get a screenshot of a webpage? I'd seen a lot of shitty third party services, and I'd tried to do it using phantomJS but I couldn't get that to work.
Thomas Foster
``` import User from './...' import { USER_NOT_FOUND_ERR USER_UNAUTHORIZED_ERR, USER_UNAUTHORIZED_MSG } from './...'
const userById = id => new Promise((resolve, reject) => { User.findById(id, (err, user) => { if (err) { reject(err); } resolve(user); }); });
libgen.io autocloses now I can only use libgen.pw or bookzz/bookfi
Ryan Taylor
Not that guy, but in my experience working on old shitty sites is hardly worth the effort. The last 2 I did the previous dev just frankensteined code directly from stack overflow with zero rhyme or reason. Small businesses will almost never know what they actually need development wise. They just want features that work. As long as the general idea of what they want front-end wise is maintained they won't know the difference. I personally just offer to look at it for free and then determine which route I want to go and how much it will cost upfront.
For back-end just pick a stack you wanna try first. I personally found LAMP stack to be very simple and XAMPP is a really easy way to jump right in without having to do any setup yourself.
Making a simple inventory management website that allows you to add/edit products is a good way to start with something practical that small businesses normally need. Add more features as you see fit to further your skills or move on to another stack.
Adrian Johnson
>I couldn't get that to work You must be retarded, then.
The best way currently is probably something like rendertron or puppetron.
Liam Robinson
Eh, I guess. I'm not really a fan of the const name = () => function signature just because I then have to define my functions in a specific order as opposed to an order I deem to be best. There are situations in which I like to put my functions after a return statement, for example.

>how does your clients manage their sites, wordpress?
I (mostly) use Wordpress with a custom admin interface. I add/remove admin menu items in functions.php and hook it all up using ACF (plugin). There are even admin themes so it doesn't look like Wordpress.
>also I can build responsive sites fairly easy, how would I go about speeding up the process of learning backend or to build a dynamic website (eCommerce, blogs, etc)
For blogs I use Wordpress. For eCommerce I use either Wordpress + Woocommerce (for higher budgets) or Shopify. Shopify has its own templating hooks just like Wordpress.
