Refactoring and some small changes - DevDiary #1

-
If you read DevDiary #0 then you know what I planned to do this week and if you read DevDiary #0.5 then you then what I did or try to achieve on Monday after the free learning weekend on Vuemastery.com. I continued the refactoring of my code and added a few changes to the system, that were comfortable to make during refactoring.
The main menu is now in the mid of the page. David suggested it, so I tried it out. Looks kind of nice, but the navbar is pretty dominant now. He also suggested to make it white, which would probably help.

I also changed that every account can have only one organisation. If you have an organisation, than there is no option to create a new one.

This is how it look like when you don't have an organisation. You have a button to create one.

I also modified the Login System. Previously there was one button for Login and one for Registration and that looked weird. Now there is just one button depending on what you are doing to do. You can switch the mode by pressing on the links. Also there is a possibility for password reset. I probably need to work on that system again because the registration is only for persons that really have an organisation, that offers possibilities for voluntary. To protect the site from spam, it would be wiser to make the accounts manually and then send a password reset on their mail.
Oh and I also slightly changed the edit organisation menu. I removed the go back button and you will automatically go back, when you press the "Save changes" button. I just realized maybe someone will mess up and then want to go back. I should add a chancel button, which will go back to the previous menu without saving changes. Oh and I also added a 404 not Found and a Network Issue page.

If you read the DevDiary#0 you will notice that I did half of the tasks I set for this week. I think it is funny that from my by priority sorted list I did everything from 4 to 7. But what about the refactoring? According to my calculations I have around 1600 lines of "self-written" code, where I also count all the auto generated structures, but not images or npm packages. Last week I had 1250 according to the same calculation.

So what is my plan for next week. Apart from a few small fine tuning: Cards. Their design should be different. Instead of an description organisations should answer three questions and the images should all have the same size.
I hope you had a great productive week despite corona going around.

Read, Test, Write - My new approach to self improvement blogging

-

My first approach to this blog was to just write anything. Soon categories emerged: DevDiaries, Tales of Nowardo and this kind of post: ArtursAdvice. The first two are well defined, but coming up with topics for ArtursAdvice is a struggle every single time and I feel doubt. My doubt means that I need to reflect on what I did and that is what this post is about. ArtursAdvice should help you achieve your dreams and ambitions. Maybe the articles helped you, maybe they didn't. The problem is, that I am not absolutely convinced of my previous articles. I presented ideas and strategies to you, that I read somewhere or came up with myself. They sound good, but do they work? I don't know. And that is the problem. I can't do that anymore. It feels dishonest to present something I am not fully convinced about. I need to change my strategy. I need to write differently. I noticed that my DevDiaries had surprisingly a lot of readers. I wondered about this since all I write about is, ...

How I refactored my code after the free weekend - DevDiary #0.5

-

Last weekend you could watch all the courses on Vuemastery for free. Actually they extended it to today, but I learned a lot already I want to implement what I learned in my current project as soon as possible. I could learn Nuxt.js today and make a Nuxt.js project tomorrow. Nuxt is like a framework for Vue, which is a framework itself. I am convinced of it's features, especially the best practice oriented structure and the possibility to make my app more search engine friendlier. I will definitely turn my App into a Nuxt.js App, but not right now. I have just bought the yearly membership at Vuemastery.com so I learn it whenever I like. My priority right now is to have a running minimum viable product as soon as possible and that collides with spending a few days learning Nuxt.js and figure out how to make and Nuxt App do what my Vue App does. I will give me just this one refactoring day, because my code has gotten really messy to a degree where I have to search for over half a min...

Four step registration process and admin area - DevDiary #4

-
Image
Last week I wrote that only some legal writing and the admin area are missing. I forget about one thing: The registration process. I decided it needs to be a four-step process, but I will talk with David about that again. Usually, I implement details how I see fit and then speak with David about it. I don't want to write for every single thing. That is what I did last week. There is now this menu at the bottom of every page. There are symbols for social networks (not linked, though and kofee doesn't have that many social networks) and links to legal texts. It still needs something like a "terms and conditions for usage", so that we are legally allowed to use their logos and images on our website. Legal stuff is such a complicated mess. I prefer writing code :D This is the first step of the registration process: Mail and Password you want to use for the account. Those are the information that firebase authentication will save for us. Then a verification email is...
