Satisfying Weekend
-
So, I got this new job, where the work is MVC, so I thought that while I waited for all the in-processing stuff to happen (so I can actually start work), I decided to start writing a MVC app. So far, I've managed to eradicate Entity Framework in its entirety (in deference to my own DAL), created my own Identity code to replace the ASPNetxxx code, created a lot of the back-end static data (I've spent almost a week on this, and still have a ways to go before I'm done with it) so that I can exercise the app, and came up with a dark appearance that I really like. I really hate everything javascript, but the reality is that it simply can't be avoided, so today, I took on the task implementing "fluff". I pretty much got a set of cascading drop-down lists working in relative harmony (using ajax), and implemented a custom jquery-ui progress bar that shows the percentage of characters remaining in the associated text input (or area) control as the user types The progress color changes from green, to yellow, to red depending on what percentage of characters is remaining. I'm sure there are better ways to do what I did, but as much as I dislike javascript, if it works, it ships. Just exercising my MVC muscles...

Oh yes it can! I'm currently working for a customer who has zero JavaScript. They've done everything using Angular and TypeScript. You don't have to use Angular to use TypeScript, of course, but when you use Angular TypeScript is mandatory I think. Personally I prefer to keep things KISS and I just use JavaScript (with Vue.js), but try to keep it to a bare minimum. I'd look into TypeScript if I were you. It's like strongly typed JavaScript created by the creator of C# and people love it.

Angular and Typescript *are* javascript.

I don't want to jump through the hoops to do blazor in .netf. The dev landscape (for lack of a better term) regarding typescript and scss (which i've only just now discovered) appears to be filled with land mines. I found out about buildwebcompiler, but that project was abandoned 5 years ago, and the last available version doesn't install in VS2017 (I get an error "An object isn't set to the instance of an object", and the install fails). There's a forked version being maintained by someone else, but they've removed the node.js dependency, so it only compiles SCSS files.

Sunday I saw a one man production of Faust done by my friend and playwright/actor Glen Williamson. Oh, and I worked on the "community event planner" website I'm putting together (.NET 6 C# backend and TypeScript front-end).

As realJSOP said, TypeScript is still JavaScript. :laugh: But yeah, way way better than working in JavaScript. I do find it amusing though how a file of interfaces in TypeScript transpiled to a file with no actual lines of code in JavaScript. So much typing just for type safety. :laugh:

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
