Today I Learned

From this

$('.multiSelectOne').multiselect({
    buttonClass: 'btn btn-default',
    buttonWidth: '100%',
    ...
});
$('.multiSelectTwo').multiselect({
    buttonClass: 'btn btn-default',
    buttonWidth: '100%',
    nonSelectedText: '---',
    ...
});

To This

<select class="js-multiselect" 
    data-include-select-all-option="true" 
    data-all-selected-text="All">
    <option></option>
</select>

$('.js-multi-select).each(function () {
	let options = {};
  
	Object.entries($(this).data())
		.map(property => options[property[0]] = property[1]);
    
  $(this).multiselect(options); 

}

And never go back for adjustments in the script file ever again.

Never modify JavaScript's standard built-in objects. That's what they say.

But you're at this hackathon stuck with JS missing Ruby's .times iterator and that's what JS's prototypes are for after all.

Here's how you do it:

String.prototype.times = function (n) {
    for (var i = 0; i < parseInt(this); i++) {
        n();
    }
}

var myFunc = function () { console.log('Hello World') }
"2".times(myFunc)

Output:

"Hello World"
"Hello World"

You can still write on a file that needs root permission, even if you forgot to open Vim with sudo:

:w !sudo tee %

The main trick here is using tee as a hack.
