	}
});

// Stream big file in worker thread

	}
});

// Parse CSV string

var data = Papa.parse(csv);

// Convert back to CSV

 <input type="file" name="File Upload" id="txtFileUpload" accept=".csv" />

document.getElementById('txtFileUpload').addEventListener('change', upload, false);

 function upload(evt) {
  
	var data = null;
	var file = evt.target.files[0];
	var reader = new FileReader();
	reader.readAsText(file);
	reader.onload = function(event) {
		var csvData = event.target.result;
		
		 var data = Papa.parse(csvData, {header : true});
		
		console.log(data);
		
	};
	reader.onerror = function() {
		alert('Unable to read ' + file.fileName);
	};

}

document.getElementById('txtFileUpload').addEventListener('change', upload, false);

function upload(evt) {

var data = null;

var file = evt.target.files[0];

var reader = new FileReader();

reader.readAsText(file);

reader.onload = function(event) {

var csvData = event.target.result;

Papa Parse is the fastest in-browser CSV (or delimited text) parser for JavaScript. It is reliable and correct according to RFC 4180, and it comes with these features:

Easy to use
Parse CSV files directly (local or over the network)
Fast mode
Stream large files (even via HTTP)
Reverse parsing (converts JSON to CSV)
Auto-detect delimiter
Worker threads to keep your web page reactive
Header row support
Pause, resume, abort
Can convert numbers and booleans to their types
Optional jQuery integration to get files from <input type="file"> elements
One of the only parsers that correctly handles line-breaks and quotations

USAGE

I am currently using it to quickly parse Adobe Audition CSV marker files and prepare them for storage for my podcast.

jQuery QueryBuilder

QueryBuilder is an UI component to create queries and filters.

It can be used on advanced search engine pages, administration backends, etc.
It is highly customizable and is pluggable to many jQuery widgets like autocompleters, sliders and datepickers.
It outputs a structured JSON of rules which can be easily parsed to create SQL/NoSQL/whatever queries.
And it also comes with a set of great plugins and has a full events system for even more features.

Really neatly programmed solution, with many possible ways to hook into it with your own plugins.

Element Selections via Regular Expression with jQuery filter

Easily target images with the jQuery filter function, using a Regular Expression. With this you can easily find elements that have a matching class, like ‘featured_image’ or ‘testimonial_image’.

// build our desired collection.
// matches both $('img.featured-testimonial__image') & $('img.featured-work__image')
const matches = $('img').filter(function() {
                  return this.className.match(/__image/);
                });

// Do something to collection
$.each(matches, function(i, item) { 
  $item = $(item);
  src = $item.attr('src');
  $item.attr('src', src.replace('http://', '//'));
});

// build our desired collection.

// matches both $('img.featured-testimonial__image') & $('img.featured-work__image')

const matches = $('img').filter(function() {

return this.className.match(/__image/);

});

// Do something to collection

$.each(matches, function(i, item) {

$item = $(item);

src = $item.attr('src');

$item.attr('src', src.replace('http://', '//'));

});

GreenApe is breathing again

After some downtime, GreenApe is breathing again. I revived the brand with a good friend of mine and we will be reopening shop options shortly.

Michael and I have been friends for a long time. We have been working on many different projects over the years.

He launched GreenApe in 2011 and I helped him with his first steps. A couple of months ago we decided to merge our competences and expand what GreenApe offers and stands for.

From the website: “The GreenApe brand was established in 2011. GreenApe’s career began with the 1st Single Malt Whisky Coffee.

As the first of its kind, our coffee is refined with Original Single Malt Whisky. To this day, he pampers many connoisseurs and gourmets with his unique taste. Now there is another reason to rejoice.

From now on, we are continuously expanding the GreenApe product world with several stylish gadgets and useful accessories. For you this means that you will be able to discover even more beautiful, special or practical things in the future.“

GreenApe is all about lifestyle & leisure products, fun gadgets and unique food & drinks.

Lets fix the short comings of current CSS integrations – EQCSS / Element queries

“Element queries are a new way of thinking about responsive web design where the responsive conditions apply to elements on the page instead of the width or height of the browser.
Unlike CSS @media queries, @element Queries are aware of more than just the width and height of the browser, you can write responsive conditions for a number of different situations like how many characters of text or child elements an element contains.
Another concept that element queries brings to CSS is the idea of ‘scoping’ your styles to one element in the same way that JavaScript functions define a new scope for the variables they contain.”
