The Lineup Generator was my first ever stab at using programming skills to build a tool that could help create fantasy football lineups.

Paste into a WP page, a snippet of html into an html code block. This was a portion from the index.html file inside the project’s root directory.

<form id="ourForm">
        <label class="button-notice" for="">Minimum Projected Points:  </label>
    <input id="minimumPtsInput" class="inputBv" type="number" min="0" max="200" value="0" step="0.1">
   
    <br>
    <br>
    <button class="btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block">Generate</button>
    </form>
    <br>

    <div class="lineupContainer" id="ourLineupContainer">     
    </div>

    <p class="" id="maxLimit"></p>

    <div id="footer">
        <p class="smallerText">Disclaimer: This site is for non-profit educational purposes only and uses content from other sources.

    </div>

Then I would have page-specific JS files. I leveraged a “reveal-ids” plugin to get a page’s id number.

function bv_child_parent_styles() {
	 // enqueue style
		wp_enqueue_style( 'parent', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
		wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-thursday', get_theme_file_uri().'/bv-js/styles.css' );
		wp_enqueue_script('custom-js', get_theme_file_uri('/bv-js/scripts.js'), NULL, '1.0', true);		
}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'bv_child_parent_styles');


/* enqueue script to conditonally load page-specific js and css for Thursday */
function load_thurs_js() {
    if( is_page( 404 ) ) {
        wp_enqueue_script('custom-js-thursday', get_theme_file_uri('/bv-js/thursday.js'), NULL, '1.0', true);
    } 
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_thurs_js');

So for the a standard Sunday slate I would go into the site’s files via SFTP and update the JS file that the function was pointing to so I didn’t have to update much in the WP-admin besides a quick paragraph based on when the file was updated.

I won’t get into the logic behind the generator here. But the concept of how I posted the generator to a WP website, on the domain that was my wedding website, is comical.

I used innerHTML and insertAdjacentHTML

Page specific JS loaded into WP.
