JavaScript

TLDR: use moduleNameMapper to support https CDN imports in Jest.

I’m currently refactoring my application AnyWayData.com and I needed to mix cdn imports with node install includes for testing with jest.

Writing a Chrome Extension is pretty easy (getting it in the Chrome Store is much harder!). In this post I describe the steps to release an extension.

I was asked how I might go about automating an online calculator application. I have a calculator app of my own so I was interested in comparing the two apps and experimenting with a canvas based JS App.

TLDR; Study examples of automating a game in browser using JavaScript from the dev tools console, and an example of automating outside the browser using a standalone execution tool.

TLDR; A lot of good resources for learning JavaScript exist. And you do not need to install an IDE, you can learn JavaScript in the console.

TLDR; The formal api documentation specifications ecosystems have tools that can help create documentation more easily and use the documentation to automatically validate e.g. Dredd, Swagger and StopLight

I’m working on an API for The Pulper, and I want to write documentation in a formal spec and use tools to validate it. Sounds Easy.

TLDR; A simple link checker running from a snippet or console has some secondary advantages like jumping to the links and showing CSP and CORB errors

Writing a Chrome Extension is pretty easy (getting it in the Chrome Store is much harder!). In this post I will take the snippet code I wrote to generate CounterStrings and convert it into a Chrome Extension.

I like to write little bots from the console to help with with application and game automation. But when the variables and objects I need are created from within anonymous functions I can’t get access. In this post I will explain how to access them.

One way I practice my Software Testing, improve my JavaScript programming and practice my automating is by ‘hacking’ JavaScript games.
