Emmet - Meet better ZenCoding

By K -
Recently new version of ZenCoding named Emmet came out of beta: http://docs.emmet.io/



Emmet came out with support for many popular IDE's and editors. For me in SublimeText2 is only a matter of installing a Emmet package with PackageControl.

If you know ZenCoding most of your workflow will be the same eg:

ul#nav>li.item$*4>a{Item $}

with Tab will create:

        <ul id="nav">
            <li class="item1"><a href="">Item 1</a></li>
            <li class="item2"><a href="">Item 2</a></li>
            <li class="item3"><a href="">Item 3</a></li>
            <li class="item4"><a href="">Item 4</a></li>
        </ul>

New thing are abbreviations for CSS and Actions, fortunately there is cheat-sheet at docs page: http://docs.emmet.io/cheat-sheet/

Example of CSS:
bd     is translated to: border:|;

So it can save you some typing, but adding all of your typing together (whole month of typing of css) this can mean real improvement and productivity gain.

How to use NPM packages from private repositories on bitbucket

Using Node.js you want to use NPM packages for reusable parts of the apps you create, that is a common sense. At the same time not everything makes sense as a public module unfortunately. Right now we are using Bitbucket at work for private repositories but there is a problem. How to use them as NPM modules? We do not want to publish them to the public npmjs.org but still want to have an ability to install them easily. After googling and experimenting I have found simple solution. First create new user in your organization with obscure password and give it read access to the repo. It is best to assign really obscure password but do not fool yourself. This is convenient but you must sacrifice security a bit. You should always consider how in your context that would be important. Change example from below to: user - username PASS - password of the user organization - owner of the project (you can find it in bitbucket url to your project) project - your project name "de

How to simulate slow connection (developer proxy in Node.js)

Update: If you use Chrome then you can use "Throttling" so simulate slow network for all your assets. This should be easier than proxy. Toggle device mode   Choose Network type. Refresh the page https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/device-mode  Proxy: For some time I wanted to use some proxy for development and testing of eg. slow internet connection, but it was hard to find something useful and free. I know there is Charles but buy it to use it at most one in a month is not for me. I started thinking about Node.js, maybe I can write proxy for me? But fortunately I found one. https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy With this module I can write really short code to create slow server: var http = require('http'), httpProxy = require('http-proxy'); httpProxy.createServer(function (req, res, proxy) { var buffer = httpProxy.buffer(req); setTimeout(function () { proxy.proxyRequest(req, res, { host:
