I have this javascript code.

How would i remove the animation from it and just show and hide the elements

If needed i can post the html

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

var $allTiles = $(".js-tile");
var $Tiles = $(".Tiles");

$(".Tiles > .Tile").each(function(i, el) {  
  
  var $tile = $(el);
  var target = $tile.children(".Tile-flyout");
  
  // get each items flyout height with extra buffer
  var thisHeight = target.children(".Tile-content").outerHeight()+20;
  
  // Create ne timeline in paused state
  var tl = new TimelineMax({
    paused: true,
    reversed:true//,
    //forward: true // not a valid GSAP property 
  });

  TweenLite.set(target, {
    height:0,
    autoAlpha: 0,
    display: "none"//,
  });    
  // animate stuff
  tl.to(target, 1, {
    delay: 0.5,
    height: thisHeight,
    autoAlpha: 1,
    display: "block",
    ease: Cubic.easeInOut,
    overwrite: "none"
  });
  // store timeline in DOM node
  el.animation = tl;
  
  // create element event handler
  $(el).on("click", function(event) {
    
    event.preventDefault();
    
    var that = this;
    var currentTile = $(this);
    
    $(".Tiles > .Tile.is-expanded").not(this).each(function(i, element){
        console.log('reverse?');
        element.animation.reverse();
        currentTile.removeClass("not-expanded");
    }); 
     
     $allTiles.not(currentTile).removeClass("is-expanded");
     $allTiles.not(currentTile).removeClass("not-expanded");
    
     currentTile.toggleClass("is-expanded");

     if (this.animation.reversed()) {
          console.log('1');
          $allTiles.not(currentTile).addClass("not-expanded");
       
          this.animation.play();
          target.removeClass("reversing");
     } else {
          console.log('2');
          this.animation.reverse();
          target.addClass("reversing");
     }
  });  
});

How do I use the following JQuery plugin in React app?

I want to use the following JQuery plugin as part of my React app, and haven’t had success in doing so: http://viima.github.io/jquery-comments/#link-3. This is a comments plugin that creates threads/replies.

Currently, I’ve tried to integrate it as follows, but to no avail:

import React, { Component } from "react";
import $ from "jquery";
import "./jquery-comments.css";
import "./jquery-comments";

class Comments extends Component {
  componentDidMount() {
    this.$el = $("#comments-container");
    this.$el.comments({
      profilePictureURL:
        "https://viima-app.s3.amazonaws.com/media/public/defaults/user-icon.png",
      getComments: function (success, error) {
        var commentsArray = [
          {
            id: 1,
            created: "2015-10-01",
            content: "Lorem ipsum dolort sit amet",
            fullname: "Simon Powell",
            upvote_count: 2,
            user_has_upvoted: false,
          },
        ];
        success(commentsArray);
      },
    });
  }

  render() {
    return <div ref={(el) => (this.el = el)}></div>;
  }
}

export default Comments;

I am getting the date instead of date and time data in a POST request

I have a date range picker on my website.

When a user inputs the date and time range, I want to send separately within the form the startDate and the endDate

daterangepicker code:

    $('input[name="datetimes"]').daterangepicker({
        timePicker: true,
        timePickerIncrement: 5,
        startDate: moment().startOf('hour'),
        endDate: moment().startOf('hour').add(32, 'hour'),
        locale: {
          format: 'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm'
        },
        opens: 'center',
        drops: 'auto'
    });

And this is what I tried:

$('#formid').submit(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    let startDate = ($('#datetimes').data('daterangepicker').startDate).format('YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm');
    let endDate = ($('#datetimes').data('daterangepicker').endDate).format('YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm');
    $(this).append('<input type="hidden" name="start_date" value='+startDate+' /> ');
    $(this).append('<input type="hidden" name="end_date" value='+endDate+' /> ');
    this.submit();
});

Before the this.submit(); I did a console.log(startDate) and thi is what I am getting:

I am getting the date and the time (as expected), but then if I try doing a print(request.POST) in the view (django back-end), this is what I get:

enter image description here

Somehow, during the POST the HH:mm disappeared.

How can I keep the values of hh:mm during the POST?
