JavaScript 211 Project: Current Date and Time

Part 1

1. Navigate to main.js
2. Read the instructions and build the functions to satisfy the tasks.
3. There are no unit tests for this project.

Part 2

1. Navigate to index.html
2. Notice the link to main.js
3. Display your results to the user in the DOM using <button> and <input>.

Hints

1. Use repl.it to write the solution code first. (it's a faster environment vs using the node main.js command over and over again.)
2. Download the Live Server package to VS Code by Ritwick Dey to view it at localhost:5500
3. OR use the npm start command to view it at localhost:8080
4. Use the JS Docs at MDN
5. Clone, setup, testing, and running instructions for all projects is below

Cloning Your Project

1. Click the 'Fork' button (choose your account if prompted).

2. Copy HTTPS URL from your forked repository

3. In your terminal/gitBash/CommandPrompt navigate (using cd) into a directory where you want to start keeping your repositories. (/jsDevFolder)

4. Clone your new repository by typing git clone <forked clone URL> (the HTTPS URL you copied above)

5. Now go into the new directory by using cd project-repo

6. Add the base repository as an upstream git remote add upstream https://github.com/AustinCodingAcademy/<PROJECT-REPO>.git

7. Check the configuration of your remotes with git remote -v, it should look very similar to this (except it'll be YOUR username)

$ git remote -v

origin  [email protected]:username/javascript-workbook.git (fetch)
origin  [email protected]:username/javascript-workbook.git (push)
upstream    [email protected]:AustinCodingAcademy/javascript-workbook.git (fetch)
upstream    [email protected]:AustinCodingAcademy/javascript-workbook.git (push)

Setup

1. From your project directory, run npm i to tell NPM to install all the node modules we use in this class (see package.json)

2. Use your textEditor (VS Code) to change your files.

3. When you're finished git status, stage your file git add ., commit your changes git commit -m "functions working", and push to GitHub git push

   git status
   git add .
   git commit -m "Initial Commit"
   git push origin gh-pages

4. Now go to your forked repository on GitHub (at https://github.com/your-username/javascript-workbook). A little yellow box should have popped up asking you to make a Pull Request. Click to review.

5. Click "Create Pull Request"

6. Every time you make a change and push to GitHub, this PR will automatically update. No need to do it more than once.

Get latest workbook updates

1. To get the latest code/homework/test updates, be sure to have a "clean working directory" by committing or removing all of your changes. You check for a "clean working environment" by running git status and making sure no files show up.

2. Run git pull upstream gh-pages

Running the apps

Simply run node path/to/file.js

example node 01week/rockPaperScissors.js

Running Tests

Tests are a great way to make sure your code works the way you planned it would, and to make sure you don't break something in the future. We will be using them to test our understanding of the lesson. It's also our main way to assign grades for an assignment.

To run the tests on a file run npm test path/to/file.js, etc.

Running the Linter

Simply run npm run lint

Running the Server

1. Run npm start
2. To break out of the server, press ctrl + c
