JS function to calculate the active are of an HTML5 video (i.e. the are of the element that is showing the video).
function videoDimensions(video) {
// Ratio of the video's intrisic dimensions
var videoRatio = video.videoWidth / video.videoHeight;
// The width and height of the video element
var width = video.offsetWidth, height = video.offsetHeight;
// The ratio of the element's width to its height
var elementRatio = width/height;
// If the video element is short and wide
if(elementRatio > videoRatio) width = height * videoRatio;
// It must be tall and thin, or exactly equal to the original ratio

Folder Structure

Please note

While this gist has been shared and followed for years, I regret not giving more background. It was originally a gist for the engineering org I was in, not a "general suggestion" for any React app.

Typically I avoid folders altogether. Heck, I even avoid new files. If I can build an app with one 2000 line file I will. New files and folders are a pain.

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions
