SQLite3 with vanilla JavaScript and OPFS – Hello world
In this post I will show you how to use SQLite3 directly in the web browser using the original C library through WebAssembly and OPFS to store the database. In this way we will have original SQLite3 on the web to work in the browser with JS on the client side.
We can do this with pure JavaScript or with any framework; but I will show you a basic and well explained example of SQLite3 with vanilla JavaScript. Then I’ll show you an example with Tailwind, Svelte and Progressive Web apps.
Passing parameters to Svelte function
In Svelte we can define functions that are going to be called when an event is triggered. For example, to call holaMundo on the click of an element we can indicate it as on:click={holaMundo}
Sometimes it is necessary to pass parameters to that function inside a Svelte component, but we cannot indicate it like this:
on:click={holaMundo(parameter)}
Since that will execute the function as soon as the component is loaded, and won’t wait for the click.
In this post I will show you how to pass arguments to functions in Svelte without calling them automatically.
Print receipt in thermal printer using JavaScript, CSS & HTML
In this post I will show you how to print a ticket or receipt by using JavaScript (client side) and a thermal printer. At the end we will have a great ticket that looks like this:
Receipt printed in thermal printer using JavaScript only
Obviously you can change the font family, size, logo and so on. And remember: we will be using only pure CSS, HTML & JavaScript, no frameworks; though you can use any framework to render the content before printing.
