So this is the first post in what I hope to make a series of short silly coding projects. My goal is to entertain myself and others through coding stupid things. &nbsp;Secondary goal is education.<br />
<br />
This project was my attempt at coding a toaster using javascript in nodejs. The code is on github.<br />
<br />
Things of note in this project. The toaster doesn't work that well. I tried to pattern it after the actual toaster that my parents had when I was a child.<br />
<br />
I tried to use the ecma script 2015 (or es6 if you prefer) standards as best I could. I also tried to not use semi-colons because since javascript does ASI (automatic semi-colon insertion) anyways, and I'm not minimizing my code (though a good minifier should do good ASI) I should be fine.<br />
<br />
Some things I like about ecma 2015 are, arrow functions, native promises, and some other third thing.<br />
<br />
I'm using the latest version of nodejs which currently is 6.&lt;something&gt;<br />
<br />
Arrow functions are like normal functions except they are different. Arrow functions don't change where the 'this' keyword points. Arrow functions are shorter. if I write:<br />
<code>function (x) { return x&nbsp;+ 1 }</code><br />
as an arrow function it can be simplified to:<br />
<code>
x =&gt; x&nbsp;+ 1
</code><br />
I like arrow functions.<br />
A few more things about how to work with arrow functions (by example)<br />
<code>function Constructor(propertyValue)</code><br />
<code>{</code><br />
<code>&nbsp; this.property = propertyValue</code><br />
<code>&nbsp; this.exampleFunc = (param1, param2) =&gt; {<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; let carl = param1.toLowerCase()<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; carl&nbsp;+= param2.toUpperCase()</code><br />
<code>&nbsp; &nbsp; carl&nbsp;+= this.property // this will point where it's supposed to, even if the coder is dumb<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; return carl<br />&nbsp; }</code><br />
<code>}</code><br />
<br />
And I relize that this post probably isn't that great, but I plan on getting better at it, constructive feedback helps and I'll try and listen.
