in my vs tab i can't find prettier at the bottom after checking format save

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.81 seconds

It's possible that Prettier is not installed in VS Code or that the VS Code extension is not enabled. You can check if Prettier is installed by typing prettier -v in your terminal. If it's not installed, you can install it with the following command:

bash
Copy code
npm install --save-dev --save-exact prettier

After that, you can enable the Prettier extension by going to the Extensions tab in VS Code (shortcut Ctrl + Shift + X) and searching for "prettier". Make sure it's installed and enabled.

If you're still having trouble after trying these steps, please provide more information about your specific problem.

how to use a library

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 4.81 seconds

Using a library depends on the programming language you are working with and the specific library you want to use. However, in general terms, to use a library you need to follow these steps:

  1. Install the library: you can usually install a library using a package manager. For example, if you are working with Python, you can use pip to install the library.

Example using pip for Python:

python
Copy code
pip install library_name
  1. Import the library in your code: once installed, you need to import the library at the beginning of your code. This will make the library's functionality available in your code.

Example using Python:

python
Copy code
import library_name
  1. Use the library: the library's documentation usually provides instructions on how to use the library's functions or classes. Use the imported functions or classes to accomplish the task you need.

Example using Python:

python
Copy code
import library_name result = library_name.function_name(argument)

Note that these are general steps and not all libraries are installed or used in the same way. Be sure to check the library's documentation for specific instructions.

how does npm install work?

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.92 seconds

npm install is a command used in the terminal to install a package in your project. It reads the package.json file to determine which packages and versions to install. It then downloads the package and its dependencies from the npm registry and installs them in the node_modules folder in your project.

For example, if you want to install the "lodash" package, you would run npm install lodash in the terminal. This will install the latest version of the lodash package and its dependencies in your project.

You can find more information about npm install in the official documentation: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install.

what if the command npx create-react-app does nort work?

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 5.62 seconds

If the command "npx create-react-app" does not work, you can try a few troubleshooting steps:

  1. Make sure you have installed Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) on your machine. You can download them from the official website https://nodejs.org/en/download/.
  2. Make sure you have a stable internet connection as this command requires downloading and installing packages from the internet.
  3. Try running the command with elevated privileges. Open your terminal as an administrator (if using Windows) or use "sudo" before the command (if using Mac or Linux).
  4. Try updating your npm version by running "npm install -g npm@latest".
  5. If none of the above steps work, you can try installing create-react-app globally by running "npm install -g create-react-app", and then running "create-react-app" to create a new React app.

Here is an example of how to run the command with elevated privileges on Windows:

powershell
Copy code
Right-click on the Command Prompt or PowerShell icon in the Start menu and choose "Run as administrator" npx create-react-app my-app

Here's an example using the terminal on Mac or Linux:

bash
Copy code
sudo npx create-react-app my-app

This command not work npm install --save-dev @types/react-animated-weather

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 5.86 seconds

It's possible that the npm command is not working because you either don't have Node.js installed on your computer or there might be an issue with your internet connection.

You can try checking if Node.js is installed by typing node -v in your terminal. If that command returns a version number, it means Node.js is installed. If not, you can download and install it from the official website: https://nodejs.org/en/download/

If Node.js is installed, you can try running npm install first to see if that solves the issue. If not, you can try clearing your npm cache by running npm cache clean --force and then try running the previous command again.

If the issue persists, you can try troubleshooting the issue further or seek help from the npm community.

how to Install less-loader and less as dev dependencies to the project?

πŸ€– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 4.11 seconds

To install less-loader and less as dev dependencies to your project, please follow these steps:

  1. Open the terminal and navigate to your project's root directory.

  2. Type the following command to install less-loader and less as dev dependencies to your project:

javascript
Copy code
npm install less-loader less --save-dev
  1. Wait for the installation to finish. Once done, you can start importing and using less in your project.

Here's an example of how to use less and less-loader in a webpack configuration file:

javascript
Copy code
module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.less$/, use: [ { loader: 'style-loader', }, { loader: 'css-loader', }, { loader: 'less-loader', }, ], }, ], }, };

In the above configuration file, less-loader is used to load all .less files into the webpack bundler, and style-loader and css-loader are used to handle the .css files generated from less files.

I hope this helps!

Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.

So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. πŸ‘©β€πŸ’»πŸ€πŸ’»
