| thomasboimah | Hi sahnun | 15:47 |
| sahnun | Hi Thomas | 15:54 |
| sahnun | Please give me a few minutes. | 15:54 |
| sahnun | In the meantime, please think of any questions you have about web development. | 15:54 |
| thomasboimah | sahnun, did you see Jeff respond to the email we be sending one another?? | 15:57 |
| thomasboimah | *been* | 15:57 |
| sahnun | yes I saw. We will discuss it shortly. | 15:58 |
| thomasboimah | Okay | 15:59 |
| sahnun | Thomas, I'm new to Django but familiar with Python. | 16:02 |
| sahnun | Jeff has asked us to do two things: discuss the Django that *you* already know and work on some styles a bit. Let's try to knock this out in the next 30m (I took an unexpected trip to NYC and have plans with a friend shortly.) | 16:02 |
| sahnun | So, let's start by opening your codeberg for the To Do App. | 16:03 |
| sahnun | Let me know when you're readyl. | 16:03 |
| thomasboimah | Okay, I thought we could look at the app, and with your front-end expertise, decide what small changes would give us the biggest visual improvement for the least amount of code." | 16:03 |
| thomasboimah | here is the link to the app todo.jetrowebdevelopment.org | 16:03 |
| thomasboimah | And i also want to ask you question since you are the front-end expert here | 16:04 |
| thomasboimah | I am ready but what do you think is the best way to share my screen with you? | 16:05 |
| sahnun | I like that plan. | 16:06 |
| sahnun | I will look into Django and if questions arise I will ask about them. | 16:06 |
| thomasboimah | Okay but i also have a question for you | 16:06 |
| sahnun | First of all, besides styling, do you have any questions that would be quicker to answer? | 16:06 |
| sahnun | Please ask. | 16:06 |
| thomasboimah | If we could only change 2 or 3 things to make this app look more polished, what would you recommend? | 16:07 |
| sahnun | What do you think, first, can you name one thing? Think about the apps you use and how it looks different. | 16:07 |
| sahnun | Think about the UI in terms of components, or pieces. There are todos, navigation links, etc. | 16:07 |
| thomasboimah | is that all | 16:10 |
| sahnun | A UI is just a collection of components, or pieces. The HTML is a starting point but it's useful to think a bit more abstractly, like "that's a 'to-do-item' container, that's a navigation link, that's an 'action' link. Then there are things like typography (fonts, size, colors). | 16:10 |
| sahnun | Do you see a component you would like to improve the styling for? | 16:11 |
| thomasboimah | Yes. the button and add some navbar like you talk about | 16:11 |
| sahnun | Please respond sooner or I will have to answer, it's ok if you don't have an answer or the question is not clear. Just give me feedback. | 16:11 |
| sahnun | Ok, so let's improve the button first. | 16:12 |
| sahnun | What file is that button in? | 16:12 |
| thomasboimah | so now we have various templates and most of them have a button in it | 16:13 |
| sahnun | Yes but what file is one of the buttons in? Any of the templates. | 16:13 |
| sahnun | Good point | 16:13 |
| thomasboimah | but here is the best thing about django once you have a static/css/style load the base.html template when you make a changes for one it will affect all | 16:14 |
| sahnun | But we do in-line styles right? | 16:14 |
| sahnun | In addition to that. | 16:14 |
| thomasboimah | Yes. | 16:15 |
| sahnun | Imagine if you had a website where you can't have multiple buttons look differently, would that be a nice website? | 16:15 |
| sahnun | No, there's a way to modify one button I'm sure :) | 16:15 |
| sahnun | Ok, do you have a file that you'd like to choose? | 16:15 |
| thomasboimah | yes by given it a class name | 16:15 |
| thomasboimah | or an id | 16:15 |
| sahnun | Correct. | 16:15 |
| thomasboimah | Okay let target the task-list view | 16:16 |
| sahnun | Good | 16:16 |
| thomasboimah | it is the first page you when you login | 16:17 |
| thomasboimah | *see* | 16:17 |
| thomasboimah | When you open the code on vscode it can be found in task/template/task-list.html | 16:18 |
| sahnun | Those are radio buttons and checkboxes. They're kind of like buttons but not the standard button. | 16:18 |
| sahnun | I'm looking at the file already. | 16:18 |
| sahnun | Do you see a button on that page that looks like a regular button we're used to, not a special type of button? There's only one. | 16:18 |
| thomasboimah | yes the Apply Filters | 16:19 |
| sahnun | Good. What file can we find that iin? | 16:19 |
| thomasboimah | in that same file | 16:19 |
| sahnun | Ah! My mistake. | 16:20 |
| sahnun | Ok, so, what we have is a button with no styles. | 16:20 |
| thomasboimah | But did you where you are going to write the css code? | 16:20 |
| thomasboimah | *know* | 16:20 |
| sahnun | Where do you think we should write the css? | 16:20 |
| thomasboimah | Now since that we don't have a static/css/style.css file we can do that in the base.html as an in-line css | 16:21 |
| sahnun | So, can you explain the diff between base.html and task_list.html? | 16:22 |
| thomasboimah | Okay now base.html is a template where you write your basic html code | 16:23 |
| thomasboimah | so the base.html is like a parent that is feeding the task_list.html | 16:24 |
| sahnun | So I googled it and base.html is for *common* html code, it's not recommended to have in-line styles in base.html. | 16:25 |
| sahnun | https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/n62RQwYl/ | 16:25 |
| sahnun | This if from Django documentation. | 16:25 |
| thomasboimah | yes sahnun that is what i say basic html | 16:25 |
| thomasboimah | *why* | 16:25 |
| thomasboimah | look at my explaination | 16:25 |
| sahnun | Base.html *could* be used, however, it's only for defining elements we want across ALL pages, like chunks of UI rather than a single button here and there. | 16:25 |
| thomasboimah | Sure | 16:26 |
| sahnun | Correct, it's a parent. | 16:26 |
| thomasboimah | of course | 16:26 |
| sahnun | I just want to add the documentation to reinforce it for you :) | 16:26 |
| sahnun | So, where should we put the in-line css, base.html or somewhere else? | 16:26 |
| thomasboimah | base.html | 16:26 |
| sahnun | Why? | 16:26 |
| thomasboimah | because it will feed all other templates | 16:27 |
| thomasboimah | including the task-list.hmel | 16:27 |
| sahnun | What if we put it directly into the task_list.html? | 16:27 |
| thomasboimah | so now here is the thing if you write a css for the button tag it will affect all other button | 16:28 |
| thomasboimah | so it you only want to target the button in the task-list you need to give it a class or id | 16:28 |
| thomasboimah | in the task-list.html | 16:29 |
| sahnun | Good. | 16:29 |
| sahnun | We don' | 16:29 |
| sahnun | We don't know if we want every button to inherit button styles from base.html | 16:29 |
| sahnun | We do know we want the task_list view button to look like that. | 16:29 |
| thomasboimah | sure then give a class or id | 16:29 |
| sahnun | So, do you agree it makes sense to write it in task_list.html? | 16:30 |
| thomasboimah | *it* | 16:30 |
| thomasboimah | No | 16:30 |
| thomasboimah | it will not work sahnun | 16:30 |
| sahnun | Why? | 16:30 |
| thomasboimah | because the task-list is only inheriting the style for the base.html | 16:31 |
| thomasboimah | *from* | 16:31 |
| thomasboimah | sahnun, look about template in django doc | 16:32 |
| thomasboimah | maybe you will understand it more | 16:32 |
| sahnun | So, if that was true, every style in the application would require to be written in base.html right? | 16:32 |
| thomasboimah | Yes. it there is no static/css/style.css like ours | 16:33 |
| thomasboimah | *if* | 16:33 |
| sahnun | Ok, well for homework let's both research if we can add inline styles directly to a template :) | 16:34 |
| sahnun | My instinct is it's possible but your experience says it's not, and I don't have experinece. | 16:34 |
| thomasboimah | Okay, but trust that will not be the best way to do that | 16:34 |
| thomasboimah | *me* | 16:34 |
| sahnun | Ok, well we decided not to do it external stylesheet because it's better for learning to do it inline. | 16:36 |
| sahnun | I have to go but you're doing well and I'm so glad you're pushing back! | 16:36 |
| thomasboimah | Okay but please look at the django doc please | 16:36 |
| thomasboimah | When should we meet again | 16:37 |
| thomasboimah | ? | 16:37 |
| thomasboimah | I think the django documentation will explain it better to then I am | 16:37 |
| thomasboimah | *YOU* | 16:37 |
| thomasboimah | I will create the static/css/style.css directory today | 16:38 |
| thomasboimah | So that we can transfer the in-line css to it | 16:39 |
| thomasboimah | sahnun, so there any book you can recommend to me for learn modern css? | 16:39 |
| thomasboimah | *learning* | 16:40 |
