Hello,

I'm able to make texts fade in and out sequentially, like the following :

F
Fi
Fir
Firs
First
 irst
  rst
   st
    t
S
Se
Sec
Seco
Secon
Second
 econd
  cond
   ond
    nd
     d
T
Th
Thi
Thir
Third

Demo : https://jsfiddle.net/KaKi87/t3jm8yhx/2/

But I'd like to to make these fade in and out simultaneously, like the following :

F
Fi
Fir
Firs
First
S rst
Se st
Sec t
Seco
Secon
Second
T cond
Th ond
Thi nd
Thir d
Third

How to do that ?

Thanks !

I tried the the conversation continues here button but it doesn't work for me :

I also tried the community's sidebar link but it results in timeout.

Thanks

PS : I'm sorry the GIF URL is from Discord but Lemmy converts to JPG and Infinity converts to WEBP so I didn't seem to have a choice.

Hi !

Given the following sample items :

| ID | First name | Age | | ---------- | ---------- |

| | xvZwiCpi | Naomi | 42 | | Nzd9UsGT | Naomi | 24 | | QiDXP2wA | Thea | 53 | | JpYeAY7H | Jeremy | 35 |

I can store these in an array :

const data = [
  { id: 'xvZwiCpi', firstName: 'Frederic', age: 42 },
  { id: 'Nzd9UsGT', firstName: 'Naomi', age: 24 },
  { id: 'QiDXP2wA', firstName: 'Thea', age: 53 },
  { id: 'JpYeAY7H', firstName: 'Mathew', age: 35 }
];

Thus access them the same way by ID :

console.log(data.find(item => item.id === 'xvZwiCpi'));

And by properties :

console.log(data.find(item => item.firstName === 'Frederic').id);

Or I can store these in an object :

const data = {
  'xvZwiCpi': { firstName: 'Frederic', age: 42 },
  'Nzd9UsGT': { firstName: 'Naomi', age: 24 },
  'QiDXP2wA': { firstName: 'Thea', age: 53 },
  'JpYeAY7H': { firstName: 'Mathew', age: 35 }
};

Thus more easily access properties by ID :

console.log(data['xvZwiCpi'].firstName);

But more hardly access ID by properties :

console.log(Object.entries(data).find(([id, item]) => item.firstName = 'Frederic')[0]);

I could duplicate IDs :

const data = {
  'xvZwiCpi': { id: 'xvZwiCpi', firstName: 'Frederic', age: 42 },
  'Nzd9UsGT': { id: 'Nzd9UsGT', firstName: 'Naomi', age: 24 },
  'QiDXP2wA': { id: 'QiDXP2wA', firstName: 'Thea', age: 53 },
  'JpYeAY7H': { id: 'JpYeAY7H', firstName: 'Mathew', age: 35 }
};

To slightly simplify that previous line :

console.log(Object.values(data).find(item => item.firstName = 'Frederic').id);

But what if a single variable type could allow doing both operations easily ?

console.log(data['xvZwiCpi'].firstName);
console.log(data.find(item => item.firstName === 'Frederic').id);

Does that exist ?

If not, I'm thinking about implementing it that way :

const data = new Proxy([
  { id: 'xvZwiCpi', firstName: 'Frederic', age: 42 },
  { id: 'Nzd9UsGT', firstName: 'Naomi', age: 24 },
  { id: 'QiDXP2wA', firstName: 'Thea', age: 53 },
  { id: 'JpYeAY7H', firstName: 'Mathew', age: 35 }
], {
    get: (array, property) =>
        array[property]
        ||
        array.find(item => item.id === property)
});

In which case I'd put it in a lib, but how would this be named ?

I'd also make a second implementation that would enforce ID uniqueness and use Map to map IDs with indexes instead of running find : while the first implementation would be fine for static data, the second one would be more suitable for dynamic data.

Would this make sense ?

Thanks
