So you’ve learned some React and built a few things. You’ve probably used create-react-app or react-slingshot to get off the ground quickly with mi...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
Let me guess, you have over 1200 packages in your boilerplate ...
PS: you realize that the code snippets are pictures and cannot be copied, and that border actually takes at least 2 pages length. It makes the readers life harder than it should be.
As much as I enjoy that cartoon, watch out with being snarky when giving feedback. Intent is often hard to convey in text. In a similar way, your PS might be more effective if it were stated in a more constructive way.
I do agree, though, with you that adding code snippets as images has many drawbacks. Apart from preventing the user from copying the text, and making the article longer, they also prevent users with screen readers from accessing the code (Yes, some people use screen readers to read code, as weird as that might sound :)), unless you add the code in the
altattribute.Thanks for that thought! I'm trying to be more cognizant of accessibility and did not think about that at all. I'll be looking into this more and trying to figure out which is better moving forward then I'll update the post.
I actually got the idea for images from Learn Ruby The Hard Way where the author states:
I just took it a step further and made it impossible to copy and paste.
That make sense but the article seems way too long and heavy, and the borders only adds to the pain.
To learn how webpack works I built a boilerplate too, but I never considered to follow a tutorial. The purpose was to read the official documentation and learn how and why they are build and figure out how should I connect them.
Hey BG. Thanks for reading :-)
805 packages actually ;-)
Trust me, it’s a lot more work for me to create and upload all those images. Rather than just copying & pasting the code into some code blocks. Hence I threw in a commending piece of praise for those who actually made it through it all lol.
Thanks a lot.with small changes like add eslint support i have now very nice boilerplate (Y) .
Thanks for the setup. Had to make a slight adjustment for current Webpack to the config/common:
exclude: [path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules')] instead of exclude: ['node_modules')]
Thanks again! Super helpful!
It turns out now with latest webpack you have to provide regex instead of strings:
is a simple fix which works.
