Disclaimer: This article intends to be a primer so that you may gain insight in order to understand beginner OOP articles better (for example on wikipedia).

So far I’ve been getting on with VR experiences and dev with a standard pc that I use for standard web development. Decided to build myself a pc since I have a few VR projects that need to be completed by a deadline, I decided to go with a custom built VR dev rig. The hardware requirements aren’t much different than a gaming pc. Components
Time to change the footer on this blog which says 7000+ and make it 10,000+! I’m happy to say 4 years later I’m still doing what I intended to do which was to lower the entry barrier into coding by project based learning.
A short snippet to assist in linking of social media accounts in a userschema when using mongoDB & mongoose.js async function generateOrFindUser(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) { const email = profile.emails[0].value; const name = profile.displayName || profile.username; const facebookId = profile.id; if (email) { let updatedUser = await User.findOneAndUpdate({facebookId},{email,name,facebookId}, {‘upsert’: true, ‘new’: true}, done); } else { var emailError = new Error(“Your email privacy settings prevent
In October I will be working on pose recognition signup/login using tensorflow.js (during my free’ time which means the time remaining from my free time which is already being used up to make a unity3d project). This means knowing what decisions to take very early on. The project is till now loosely defined as in “pose recognition” only implies that you can signup and

This is part of the ‘Sweet & Sour mongoose.js methods’ series. In this function we will write a method that acts upon the UserSchema to check whether an email OR username already exists in the database. As an example use-case, this method can then be used in the any of your routes files by exporting the “User” to check whether an email address already exists
I’ve been using Mongoose (ODM library for MongoDB) quite a bit for the authentication project. NoSQL databases like MongoDB do seem more flexible for web apps which depend quite a bit on user interaction. Example a user might decide to login with a social media account or register with their email, a password and secret question-answer. I find it way easier to write a mongoose

To ignore remote changes and overwrite them git push origin –force The token conveyor belt: use hidden input fields to pass ‘info’ between POST & GET requests (if there is no user entered info into an input field which can be ‘gotten’ through req.body). Use case: in script.js assign the value of an element’s “innerHTML” property to be the value of a hidden input. This
This snippet is to conditionally render navbar items based on whether a user is logged in OR not. So toggle the ‘Login’ button to ‘Logout’ if the user is already logged in and vice versa.
