CS50W projetct 3 - Design a front-end for an email client that makes API calls to send and receive emails.
Refresh the page using CTRL + F5
When I was getting any e-mail (sent, inbox, archive), It wasn't working. The reason was the strftime function in models.py. The format of the string uses codes like "%-d" and "%-I". But this codes with "-" (hyphen or dash sign) doesn't work on Windows. Instead, I had to replace them for "#". So "%#d" and "%#I" works on Windows.
Solution: inf your javascript function, insert return false in the end
In this project, the user click on the e-mail to view all the details. In the detailed view, the use can click on a "reply" button, to answer that e-mail. The error was: when clicking to view the details of the e-mail, the page was skipping the details page and going directly to the reply page.
Soluction (actually a mistake): it was missing () => in the function below:
document.getElementById('reply-email-button').addEventListener('click', () => compose_email(email) );
Without ````() =>```, javascript won't wait the event to happen and it will execute it immediately.
After I send an e-mail, the page loads the list of sent e-mails. In the first time, the list updates with the recent email created. If I do the same (create and send an-email), the list doesn't show the new e-mail (even though it's created in the database). It will work only in the following request.
Solution: add localStorage.clear(); before calling the method to get the e-mails. I believe the browser doesn't execute the request because the last request was still recent and, thus, it can reuse the same old response saved locally.
