JavaScript has a new Date() constructor which is used to create a date object to get the current date and time. This date object uses the UTC timezone or the client browser's timezone, i.e. if you are in India and use the new Date() constructor to get the date and time, you will get your local time. But sometimes, we may need to get the timezone of another country, which we can't do directly. These can be done using the toLocaleString() method or the format() method. By the end of the article, you will be able to get the date ... Read More

CFAbsoluteTime is the elapsed time since Jan 1, 2001, 00:00:00 UTC. This is a standard time format on Apple devices. On the other hand, a date object is a built-in object in JavaScript used to represent date and time values. It has many methods for providing formatting and converting date & time from one form to another. The main difference between CFAbsolute Time and JavaScript Date objects is their format. CFAabsolute time is a numeric value representing the number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch whereas a date object is an object representing a specific date and time, year, month, ... Read More

As a developer, we often encounter hyphenated strings. A hyphenated string makes our code more readable when the string’s length is high and the name is very complex. To solve this problem we use a camel case. Camel case is a very popular naming convention, in which we combine multiple words and make one string by capitalizing the first letter of each string except the first string. In javascript, we can use this convention to create variables and function names while we cannot use hyphenated strings to create a variable. In this article, we will explore step by step multiple ... Read More

While designing web pages we use colors to make web pages more appealing and engaging. We commonly use hex code to represent colors but sometimes we need to add transparency to the colors which can be achieved by RGBA values. Hex color values are represented by #RRGGBBAA and The RGBA color values are represented by rgba( red, green, blue, alpha). Here are a few examples of RGBA and hex values − Input: #7F11E0 Output: rgba( 127, 17, 224, 1 ) Input: #1C14B0 Output: rgba( 28, 20, 176, 1 ) In ... Read More

The SASS is a CSS preprocessor that keeps the CSS code dry as it doesn’t allow repetition in the code. There are various directives available in the SASS, one of which is the @import directive. The ‘@import’ directive is used to import the code of one ‘.scss’ or ‘.sass’ file into another file and execute it during compilation. We can import the variables, functions, mixins, etc., from one file to another using the ‘@import’ directive. Syntax Users can follow the syntax below to use the ‘@import’ directive in the SASS to import the file. @import 'test' We have imported ... Read More

CSS stands for the Cascading style sheet. HTML is used to create a web page, which adds text, images, videos, etc., to the web page. After that, we require to style the texts and images, which we can do using CSS only.

First is the inline style, which directly adds style to the HTML element. The second is an embedded style sheet that adds styles in the ‘html’ file inside ... Read More

We can add transitions to HTML elements using CSS. Before we start with the tutorial, let’s understand what transition is. Basically, the transition is an element changing from one state to another state. For example, we change the dimensions of the element when users hover over the element. In CSS, we can add transitions to elements using two ways. First is to use ‘transition-property’, ‘transition-duration’, ‘transition-timing-function’, and ‘transition-delay’ all 4 properties together. The second is using only the ‘transition’ CSS property. The CSS ‘transition’ property is shorthand for the below CSS properties. Transition-property − It specifies the CSS property ... Read More
