where to find the 'degrees celcius' sign or button

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 1.69 seconds

I'm not entirely sure which context you are referring to, but if you are trying to type the 'degrees Celsius' symbol in a word document, you can use the following shortcuts:

  • On Windows, hold down the 'Alt' key and type '0176' on the numeric keypad to get the symbol ยฐ (release the 'Alt' key after typing 0176).
  • On a Mac, hold down the 'Option' key and press 'Shift' + '8' to get the symbol ยฐ.

If you are trying to display the 'degrees Celsius' symbol in HTML, you can use the following code:

html
Copy code
°C

This will display the symbol as ยฐC.

Where do I find the terminal on my computer to run code?

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 1.48 seconds

The terminal allows you to access the command line interface on your computer. On a Mac, you can find the terminal application in the Utilities folder, which is inside the Applications folder. On Windows, you can use the Windows Terminal or Command Prompt, which can be accessed by searching for "terminal" or "command prompt" in the Start menu.

how can i add the degree symbol

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.16 seconds

To add the degree symbol (ยฐ), you can either use the symbol menu in your text editor or use a keyboard shortcut.

On a Windows PC, you can hold down the Alt key and type 0176 on the numeric keypad. On a Mac, you can hold down the Option key and press the number 0.

Alternatively, in HTML, you can use the HTML entity °. For example:

html
Copy code
<p>The temperature is 25&deg; Celsius.</p>

This code will display the temperature with the degree symbol like this: "The temperature is 25ยฐ Celsius."

how to install axios on Mac

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.14 seconds

To install Axios on Mac, you can use either npm or Yarn package manager.

First, open your terminal and navigate to your project's directory.

Then, use one of the following commands:

  • Using npm:

    code
    Copy code
    npm install axios
  • Using Yarn:

    code
    Copy code
    yarn add axios

After running the command, Axios will be installed in your project and you can start using it in your code.

Here's an example of how to use Axios in JavaScript:

javascript
Copy code
const axios = require('axios'); axios.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts') .then(response => { console.log(response.data); }) .catch(error => { console.log(error); });

This code sends an HTTP GET request to a remote API and logs the response data to the console.

I'm building a react app that allows users to use shortcuts to submit a form. I'd like to display shortcuts such as cmd+enter on Mac users and ctrl+enter on windows users. How would you do that?

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 5.38 seconds

To detect whether the user is accessing the app via a Mac or Windows system, you can check for the navigator.platform property. This property contains information about the operating system of the client.

Here's an example of how to do it in JavaScript:

javascript
Copy code
const isMac = navigator.platform.toUpperCase().indexOf('MAC') >= 0; if (isMac) { // display cmd+enter shortcut } else { // display ctrl+enter shortcut }

You can then display the appropriate shortcut based on the result of the check.

To add a listener to trigger the form's submission when the user presses the shortcut, you can use the addEventListener method on the document object to listen for a keydown event. The keydown event provides information about which key was pressed.

Here's an example of how to do it in JavaScript:

javascript
Copy code
const form = document.getElementById('myForm'); document.addEventListener('keydown', (event) => { if ((isMac && event.metaKey && event.keyCode === 13) || (!isMac && event.ctrlKey && event.keyCode === 13)) { form.submit(); } });

This code listens for the keydown event on the document, and when it detects the appropriate shortcut (cmd+enter for Mac or ctrl+enter for Windows), it submits the form. Note that event.metaKey is used for Mac and event.ctrlKey is used for Windows to check whether the command or control key was pressed. The keyCode property contains the code for the key that was pressed, and 13 is the code for the Enter key.

Here's an example of how it can be used in ReactJS:

javascript
Copy code
import React, { useEffect } from 'react'; function MyForm() { const isMac = navigator.platform.toUpperCase().indexOf('MAC') >= 0; useEffect(() => { const form = document.getElementById('myForm'); const handleKeyDown = (event) => { if ((isMac && event.metaKey && event.keyCode === 13) || (!isMac && event.ctrlKey && event.keyCode === 13)) { form.submit(); } }; document.addEventListener('keydown', handleKeyDown); return () => { document.removeEventListener('keydown', handleKeyDown); }; }, [isMac]); return ( <form id="myForm"> {/* form fields and submit button here */} </form> ); }

In this example, the useEffect hook is used to add and remove the keydown event listener, and the isMac variable is passed as a dependency to the hook so that it will update if the user switches between Mac and Windows during the session.

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป is there a library that can help with that?

๐Ÿค– SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.4 seconds

Yes, there are several third-party libraries available that can make it easier to handle keyboard shortcuts on your React app. One popular library for this is called react-hotkeys-hook.

Here's an example of how to handle the "cmd+enter" and "ctrl+enter" shortcuts using react-hotkeys-hook:

javascript
Copy code
import React, { useCallback } from 'react'; import { useHotkeys } from 'react-hotkeys-hook'; function MyForm() { const handleShortcut = useCallback(() => { const form = document.getElementById('myForm'); form.submit(); }, []); // bind cmd/ctrl + enter shortcut useHotkeys('mod+enter', handleShortcut); return ( <form id="myForm"> {/* form fields and submit button here */} </form> ); }

In this example, the useHotkeys hook from react-hotkeys-hook is used to bind the "mod+enter" shortcut to the handleShortcut function. The library automatically detects whether the user is on a Mac or Windows system and uses the appropriate modifier key. The useCallback hook is used to prevent unnecessary re-renders when the component re-renders.

Note that you will need to install the react-hotkeys-hook library first using NPM or Yarn:

bash
Copy code
npm install react-hotkeys-hook # or yarn add react-hotkeys-hook

This is just one example of how to use a library to handle keyboard shortcuts. There are many other libraries available that you can use as well, depending on your needs.

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. ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’ป
