Slider 2: a JavaScript object instead of case classes
Two weeks ago we talked about how to create a beautiful Slider in Scala.js Our Slider works well (See Demo). But there was one thing that worried me. We need to define a Slider property as a Scala case class. It’s not bad, if our Slider is a part of a single Scala/Scala.js application. But what if we need to install our Slider into some HTML page. In that situation we should think how to pass some JavaScript object into the Slider. At first sight this is a frightening problem. It turned out that it is not. All we need
ScalaCSS. Is it time for using it?
I decided to go further with my Slider and to find out whether my styles can be generated by Scala. First of all, I added ScalaCSS library and an extension for Scalajs-react to my dependencies: libraryDependencies += “com.github.japgolly.scalacss” %%% “core” % “0.5.1” libraryDependencies += “com.github.japgolly.scalacss” %%% “ext-react” % “0.5.1” ScalaCSS has two ways of making styles: To make standalone stylesheets (like SASS or LESS) To add css-styles directly to the page by a compiled javascript Standalone stylesheets As it was written in the ScalaCSS manual: Produces static CSS for external consumption. Like SCSS and LESS. There is only one
Let’s create a Slider
I have started to write code on Scala.js half a year ago and I can’t stop doing it. I should say that I love JavaScript and I wrote hundreds of thousands lines of code. But there is one thing that always frustrates me in JavaScript: It hasn’t many useful things that other languages have. You should use some or other framework (I used yui and jquery in the past). I used CoffeeScript a year ago. Today it’s time for Babel. Nobody wants writing plain JavaScript anymore! I choose Scala. See the Demo to this post. A Slider is a program
Learn You Scala for Great Good! Part 6
Today I want to finish this long talk about Haskell and Scala. The only thing that stays in my to-do list is “A knight’s quest”. Please look at my previous posts: Learn You Scala for Great Good!

Part 5 A knight’s quest Here’s a problem that really lends itself to being solved with non-determinism. Say you have a chess board and only one knight piece on it. We want to
