Are there good #JavaScript libraries for doing full-text search (or just efficient string matching) in a client-side application in the browser?

I have multiple large arrays of objects, each with many fields, some of which are simple strings while others contain HTML. But this is a static site, so I have no server-side backing to perform a search in a database.

I'm a #Programmer/#SoftwareEngineer. I'm most fluent in #Python, have some basics in #Java and #C++, but I'm also taking up new languages like #Javascript and others in my eternal journey of getting better and minimising the impostor syndrome that befalls pretty much all programmers (I feel). I'm also very experienced in #CloudNative/#DevOps technologies, and have been the one devising solutions and maintaining infrastructure in a fast-paced startup environment in my previous employment.

I'm passionate in what I do and those that know me here or IRL would know that I'm always yapping about the things I'm learning or working on - I love discussing them, and I love helping people out - esp those on the same boat as me.

This passion has led me into writing and maintaining tons of #FOSS projects like Mango: a content distribution framework based on #Django for #Mastodon and #Bluesky that powers various bots of mine like @lowyat@mastodon.social and @waktusolat@mastodon.social, Charts: a #Helm chart repository for an easy and reproducible deployment strategy for all my projects and everything else I self-host on my #homelab, and Orked: O-tomated #RKE2 distribution, a collection of scripts I wrote that are comprehensively documented to enable everyone to self-host a production-grade #Kubernetes cluster for absolutely free in their homes.

I'm based in Malaysia, but I'm open to just about any on-site, hybrid, or remote job opportunities anywhere. In the meantime though, I'm actively looking for a job in countries like #Japan and #Singapore, in a bid for a desperate lifestyle change. I've linked below my Portfolio (which you too, could self-host your own!), for those who'd wish to connect/learn more of me. Thank you ❤️

I've worked with dates and times in several programming languages, and I have to say that the best is easily PHP (since the big refactor in, what was it, 5.6?).

The worst is easily Javascript.

@b0rk
> I feel like I get confused really quickly in vanilla js programs when I start to build anything even a little bit complicated

The book _JavaScript: The Good Parts_ is outdated now w.r.t. the specific language syntax and APIs (modern ECMAScript is vastly better since those days).

But I still follow the principle that guided that book: There is a pretty good programming language buried in #JavaScript; provided you carve it away from all the bad stuff.

Just started a new project, `betterer-json`. It's like JSON Patch, except it's javascript.

You write your script match like a JSON Patch - use JSONPath to select values to process, each value is sent to a callback, and its result is put back in the JSON document.

This example changes '"format": "datetime"' to '"format": "date-time"' across json document

```
replace('$..format', value => {
if(value === 'datetime')
return 'date-time';
return value
})
```

Next task on this plan*: Vue routing. I know Vue has dynamic routing, but I am still researching the best way to do dynamic routing with parameters. For example, have the path /items/:id, and then also see if I can do /items/:id/edit in order to bring up the edit page for that URL. It's based on the folder/file structure if you want the automatic routing to do it for you.

If I can get that working in Vue's automatic route mapping, that would be extremely helpful. Otherwise, I'll just do it by hand. My code so far has been doing it manually so I am leaning in that direction now.

This is also partially because I have a particular URL scheme in mind for how I want to do this.

*There is no plan, we're having fun here and seeing where we end up!

#programming #webdev #vue #javascript #vuetify

Tonight's short update - I added a new table to the database to store device types, associated HTTP GET all device types, HTTP POST create device type, and a settings page in the app with tabs to view the device types.

This gave me more practice in laying out pages in Vue/Vuetify, using classes to control the layout, height, width, etc.

My next update has to be more focused on the backend and testing since I don't have that many tests going on there now.

Below is a screenshot of the table as it stands now and I'll link to the frontend in my latest commit here: https://github.com/alongchamps/rack-root/blob/main/frontend/src/pages/Settings.vue

Another 50 lines of code and now I have a new device dialog box that will pop up, ask for the name, and behave as expected. Submitting the form will send the data to the backend to make the device type. Clicking outside the dialog or cancel will make the dialog go away.

I also discovered that the field will retain the data that's in it, until it's cleared. I chose to only do this on submission and handled it in the javascript.

This update also gave me some practice with the v-model functionality in Vue where it goes between the HTML <template> tags and javascript contexts.

I decided to change the add/remove functionality on the gateway field and replace it simply with a wrench icon that lets you edit the value.

In the Vuetify code, this gets around me having to check the logic of whether the value is populated or not and rendering the right color button. I think it fits better with the code, input form modal, and other parts of the page. Accordingly, I changed the color to yellow.

I'm still working on some of the javascript for it and next time, I need to:

a) detect if a value is in the form and if so apply it to [POST] /networks/{id}/gateway
b) if no value is in the form, call [DELETE] on /networks/{id}/gateway
c) add better error handling so that invalid values bump the user back to the input modal with a relevant message
d) detect that someone didn't put in the network address or broadcast address (backend only, builds on c)

If someone puts a gateway in that's not in the same network, it will be rejected by the backend, but the front end needs to also show something useful. That's its job!

There’s a joke about Data Scientists:
“Data Scientists spend 80% of their time cleaning data and the other 20% complaining about it.”

Seems like there should be one for JavaScript programmers:
“JavaScript programmers spend 80% of their time picking frameworks and the other 80% replacing them.”

I’m grouchy because I’m writing frontend code, which I do rarely, and every time I do, there’s a new “hotness” to learn.

NO-JS Fingerprinting (slight return)

I am absolutely overjoyed to announce the release of #KDL 2.0.0!! https://kdl.dev

It's a significant overhaul of the language to make it SO MUCH NICER in so many ways.

This is the culmination of over 3 years of work (4 if you count from before 1.0.0), by SCORES of contributors.

https://github.com/kdl-org/kdl/releases/tag/2.0.0

I want to give huge thanks to everyone who supported all of us through this, who jumped in and had some really amazing discussions weighing all sorts of interesting trade-offs.

The end result is absolutely not something any one person could've reasonably come up with.

I hope y'all enjoy it <3

As part of this release, several implementations have already launched with full support for v2.0.0, so you can try it now!

👉 #Rust #RustLang https://github.com/kdl-org/kdl-rs
👉 #C / #CPP / #Python https://github.com/tjol/ckdl
👉 #Elixir https://github.com/IceDragon200/kuddle
👉 #JavaScript / #TypeScript https://github.com/bgotink/kdl
👉 #Python https://github.com/tabatkins/kdlpy

KDL is already used in all sorts of projects, and by various folks as a DSL for their own small hobby things: https://github.com/kdl-org/kdl?tab=readme-ov-file#used-by

There are around 8k .kdl files out on GitHub, which is a lot considering it's usually a config language!

I fully expect this to be the last version of KDL ever released. We really really tried, but I don't think there's anything we can reasonably improve on.

From here on out, the language is in the (stable!) hands of the ecosystem.

Also, we're hoping to have GitHub syntax highlighting support soon!

(Boosts welcome!!)

No Javascript Browser fingerprinting - experimental warfare in #links2

https://automa.triapul.cz/nojs-fingerprinting/

...

edit: just a side note, thanks to another fellow links2gangster, you can supply links2 with some completely arbitrary header, which will change the fingerprint: ie

links -g -http.extra-header "Accept: $RANDOM/$RANDOM" https://noscriptfingerprint.com/

But I suppose the best practice would be to rotate real (useless?) headers, as this will potentially make the browser stand out.
