haze.net.my July Updates
Several updates to haze.net.my (Malaysia Air Pollution Index):
- Feeds now contain the previous 7 collected data
- Feeds are now available for all Areas. So you can keep track of the past weeks air pollution for your Area. Want to know how Kuala Lumpur is doing?
- Download indices as a Google Earth (kml) file
- Replaced the Lowest and Highest linechart for Areas into Morning and Evening
- Statistics about the amount of data collected, duration, and missing
- Tables are now sortable
To do:
- Improve Fullscreen Interface
- Add heatmaps
- Add deltas, to see difference from the past week. May use Sparklines
- Include a nice/easy interface to change dates rapidly, via a JavaScript calendar
- Pimp up the About page
More suggestions, comments, critique?
Remove Firebug JavaScript Console Calls on Deployment
One thing I keep forgetting to do when deploying a Rails application is to remove any Firebug JavaScript console calls I use for debugging.
You know, those:
console.log("Please execute");
console.info("Warning " + collections.length + " Areas found")
Or something like that.
When committing back to the repository, you simply forget to remove them. Thus when deploying your new code, for those people who don't have Firebug installed, the script will end in a premature death.
Oh noes!
This definitely isn't cool, and its just a minor thing you forgot to do...and its causing a hell lot of problems.
Lucky for us we can hook into the Capistrano after update code callback to comment/strip out those lines from the JavaScript file.
To Comment Out:
task :after_update_code, :roles => :app do
javascript_path = File.join(release_path, 'public', 'javascripts', '*.js')
run "sed -i -r 's/(\\/\\/|^)(\\s*console\\.(log|info|debug|warn|error).*)/\\/\\/\\2/i' #{javascript_path}"
end
To Strip Out:
task :after_update_code, :roles => :app do
javascript_path = File.join(release_path, 'public', 'javascripts', '*.js')
run "sed -i -r 's/(\\/\\/|^)(\\s*console\\.(log|info|debug|warn|error).*)//i' #{javascript_path}"
end
So instead of removing those debugging calls from the file, just leave them there and let Capistrano and sed strip them out for ya!
Talk about an easy life :3.
Note: This only works in the top level javascripts directory.
