Out of the box NextJS comes with eslint, but this only helps with code quality and does not enforce any kind of formatting. You can heavily enhance this default config by combining it with Prettier for consistent formatting across your projects and team.

When working on a bunch of development projects, specifically JavaScript, drives can fill up pretty fast with useless data. The most common is the well known node_modules which can take multiple gigabytes on some projects. Unless you're working on these day to day, it can be ...

Rails + Webpacker Deployments on Heroku

A few weeks ago I decided to take the leap and implement Webpacker into an existing Rails project. Initially this seemed like a great idea and almost too easy thanks to the rails/webpacker project. After a couple of hours I had everything working and some existing React ...

Free Hosting with Github Pages

I've been meaning to try out Github Pages for quite a while, but never had a project that was suitable as nearly all of my work is built on a custom back end server. I also wanted to get a few old projects online to share the code so people can maybe do something cool with it.

Pixel Perfect Collision Detection in JavaScript

Advanced Object Binding in JavaScript

For way too long now I've taken advantage of the amazing bind method build into the Mootools core framework, so when I started using jQuery for a client, I was shocked at how basic the code was in comparison. I'm going to write a whole new article on that topic tomorrow, but ...

Detect Selected Radio Input in JavaScript [Mootools]

A collegue brought up an interesting subject today at work; how do you detect which radio button out of set has been selected in JavaScript? This is the first time in a few years I've been stumped on a JavaScript question, so I was quite annoyed! The last time I used a radio ...
