Imagine having a super smart friend who has read every book, article, and blog post on the internet. This friend can answer your questions, help you with creative writing, and even chat with you about any topic under the sun. That’s essentially what a Large Language Model (LLM) is!
Now imagine you can build one!
### Large Language Models (LLMs)
[Large Language Models (LLMs)](https://www.ibm.com/topics/large-language-models) like OpenAI’s GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) are revolutionizing how we interact with technology. These models, trained on vast amounts of text data, can understand and generate human-like text, making them ideal for applications such as chatbots. In this article, we’ll explore the fundamentals of LLMs, the concept of prompt engineering, and how to build a chatbot using Node.js, LangChain, and OpenAI.
Key Features of LLMs:
- Contextual Understanding: LLMs can understand the context of a given input, making their responses coherent and contextually relevant.
- Versatility: These models can handle a wide range of tasks, including translation, summarization, and conversation.
- Scalability: LLMs can be fine-tuned for specific applications, enhancing their performance for particular use cases.
### Working with LLMs
To effectively utilize LLMs, it’s essential to understand how they process inputs and generate outputs. This involves crafting prompts — inputs that guide the model to produce desired responses.
**Prompt Structure**: A well-structured prompt provides clear instructions and sufficient context. The quality of the prompt directly influences the quality of the output.
**Tokenization**: LLMs process text by breaking it down into smaller units called tokens. Each token can be as short as one character or as long as one word. The model’s understanding is built on these tokens.
Temperature and Max Tokens:
**Temperature**: Controls the randomness of the output. Lower values make the output more deterministic, while higher values increase randomness.
**Max Tokens**: Limits the length of the generated response. Setting an appropriate max token value ensures responses are concise and relevant.
### Prompt Engineering
Imagine you’re talking to a very knowledgeable friend who can answer any question you have. You start by asking a general question, but they respond with a clarifying question to understand exactly what you need. This back-and-forth continues until they provide you with a clear and helpful answer.
This is similar to [Prompt Engineering](https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/mckinsey-explainers/what-is-prompt-engineering) with AI. When we interact with large language models (LLMs) like OpenAI’s GPT-3, we provide them with well-crafted prompts that give enough context for generating relevant responses.
For instance, if you ask an AI chatbot, “What are the benefits of Node.js?” and it gives a technical response, you might refine your prompt: “Can you explain the advantages of Node.js for web development?” This structured approach helps the AI understand your query and provide an accurate response.
Prompt Engineering allows developers to communicate effectively with AI, creating smart and responsive chatbots that can assist with a variety of tasks.
> Prompt Engineering is the art of designing prompts to elicit specific responses from an LLM. It’s a crucial aspect of working with these models, as the prompt determines how the model interprets and responds to the input.
### Tips for Effective Prompt Engineering:
1. **Be Clear and Specific**: Ensure the prompt clearly defines the task. Ambiguous prompts lead to ambiguous responses.
2. **Provide Context**: Give the model enough information to understand the context of the request.
3. **Iterate and Refine**: Experiment with different prompts and refine them based on the model’s responses.
### Building a Chatbot with Node.js and LangChain
Now, let’s dive into the fun part: building a chatbot using [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en), [LangChain](https://www.npmjs.com/package/langchain), and [OpenAI](https://openai.com/). We’ll focus on how prompt engineering can enhance the chatbot’s responses.
**Setting Up Your Environment:**
- Initialize a Node.js Project:
```bash
mkdir chatbot-app
cd chatbot-app
npm init -y
npm install langchain openai axios
```
- Create the Chatbot Structure:
```javascript
const { OpenAI } = require('langchain');
const axios = require('axios');
const openai = new OpenAI({
apiKey: 'YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY', // Replace with your OpenAI API key
});
async function generateResponse(prompt) {
const response = await openai.complete({
model: 'text-davinci-003', // You can use other models available
prompt: prompt,
maxTokens: 150,
});
return response.data.choices[0].text.trim();
}
```
- Implementing Prompt Engineering with LangChain:
```javascript
const { OpenAI, PromptTemplate } = require('langchain');
const openai = new OpenAI({
apiKey: 'YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY',
});
const template = new PromptTemplate({
inputVariables: ['query'],
template: `You are a helpful assistant. Answer the following question: {query}`
});
async function generateResponse(query) {
const prompt = await template.format({ query });
const response = await openai.complete({
model: 'text-davinci-003',
prompt: prompt,
maxTokens: 150,
});
return response.data.choices[0].text.trim();
}
// Example usage
(async () => {
const userQuery = "What are the benefits of using Node.js?";
const response = await generateResponse(userQuery);
console.log(response);
})();
```
### Testing and Refining Your Chatbot
Testing is crucial to ensure your chatbot provides accurate and helpful responses. Here are some example interactions:
Basic Query:
- **User**: “What is Node.js?”
- **Chatbot**: “Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine.”
Complex Query:
- **User**: “How does asynchronous programming work in Node.js?”
- **Chatbot**: “Asynchronous programming in Node.js allows non-blocking operations, meaning multiple tasks can be handled concurrently without waiting for previous tasks to complete.”
By iterating on the prompts and responses, you can fine-tune your chatbot to provide more accurate and helpful answers.
### Conclusion
Building a chatbot with Node.js, LangChain, and OpenAI is an exciting and accessible way to harness the power of LLMs. Understanding the fundamentals of LLMs and mastering prompt engineering are key to creating a chatbot that delivers accurate and contextually relevant responses. I hope this guide inspires you to explore the potential of LLMs in your applications.

# Introdução
O DDD acabou virando algo meio místico nos dias de hoje, em que muito se fala e nada se entende. Muitos acham que é apenas uma série de Design Patterns, ou até mesmo codar de forma estruturada em pastas. Este artigo buscará mostrar que o DDD vai muito além disso.
De início, podemos entender a sua origem: o DDD foi um conceito abordado no livro de Eric Evans lançado em 2003 que, desde então, vem sendo amplamente utilizado principalmente ao se trabalhar com grandes projetos, objetivando uma clareza mais profunda do produto e possibilitando que o software sobreviva de forma saudável.
Sendo assim, fica a pergunta: mas o que esse conceito apresenta de tão especial?
Bom, para entender isso, vamos tentar dar defini-lo:
---
“Domain Driven Design é modelar um software com base em seus diferentes domínios, buscando entender suas regras, processos e complexidades. É basicamente moldar problemas e trazer soluções a eles, separando as responsabilidades de cada um.”
---
Podemos entender o DDD quase como uma filosofia, uma forma de pensar ao se trabalhar com software. Hoje em dia, em que se trabalhar com microsserviços tornou-se tão importante, essa filosofia aumenta ainda mais seu protagonismo → grande parte do desafio dos MS é exatamente conseguir modelar o software, separar suas complexidades e entender seus contextos para conseguirmos criá-los de forma mais independente.
Além disso, em um âmbito mais prático, também apresenta princípios base e Patterns para que o dev consiga trabalhar em projetos com diferentes escopos de forma mais decente e organizada.
# Algumas considerações
Antes de seguir no assunto, vamos fazer e refletir com algumas considerações:
- DDD é para projetos mais complexos;
O negócio e o domínio devem ter certo nível de complexidade para que consigamos modelá-lo. Não adianta querermos usar DDD p/ modelar um software super simples com 5 cruds - o DDD é utilizado quando temos problemas maiores e não temos clareza do todo, como uma coisa se relaciona com a outra, e também quando temos muitas pessoas e de departamentos diferentes envolvidos;
- Projetos complexos possuem muitas áreas, regras de negócio, pessoas com visões diferentes em variados contextos;
Considere o exemplo:
Em uma certa empresa A, mais “old school”, o coração do negócio (que traz o resultado esperado) pode ser fazer vendas ligando para os clientes um a um, e chama este processo de “vender por live-call”. Já em outra empresa B, mais moderna e automatizada vendendo através de seu site, as ligações 1 a 1 servem apenas para suportar/complementar o negócio base (de vender online), e chamam esse processo de “vender no one-on-one”.
Podemos ver que são duas coisas “iguais” em contextos diferentes, e portanto com significados e graus diferentes de importância. Cada empresa também terá sua forma específica de se expressar e seus jargões específicos.
O software é vivo e movido a pessoas e contextos. Nós, devs, temos que entender isso e modelá-lo de acordo com estes princípios.
- Não temos como tratar um software grande, complexo, em uma empresa com muitos processos e pessoas, sem utilizar técnicas avançadas;
- Grande parte da complexidade do software não vem da tecnologia em si, mas sim da comunicação, separação de contextos, entendimento do negócio por diversos ângulos;
Muitas vezes quando um software começa a dar problema não é por conta da tecnologia escolhida, e sim por conta da complexidade de negócio. Quando vamos “transformar” o negócio para tecnologia, se não tivermos clareza do mesmo, é quase certo que o software terá problemas no futuro. E uma das principais formas de ter essa clareza é usando o DDD.
- Em uma empresa temos devs, POs, gerentes, diretoria, etc., pessoas com várias opiniões distintas;
Não podemos ser inocentes de achar que o software tem uma visão única - temos que entendê-lo com base no contexto de cada um e ter técnicas adequadas para extrair a informação e entregar o que realmente precisamos.
# Como o DDD pode ajudar
- Vai nos ajudar a entender com profundidade o domínio e subdomínios da aplicação;
- DDD diz para termos uma linguagem universal (linguagem ubíqua) entre todos os envolvidos:
Um das coisas que geram muitos problemas é que diferentes times, contextos, colaboradores tem linguagens/jargões específicos. Isso aqui é um ponto muito importante pois permeia todo o processo de desenvolvimento → todos tem que estar na mesma página.
Exemplo: para um departamento de vendas, os ‘clientes’ vão ser uma coisa, para outro departamento, serão outra. Se ambos os departamentos começarem a falar juntos sobre ‘clientes’ pode haver confusão - vamos aprender a controlar isso no dia a dia com o DDD.
- Vai ajudar a criar um design mais estratégico utilizando Bounded Contexts;
- Vai ajudar a criar um design tático para conseguir mapear e agregar as entidades e objetos de valor da aplicação, bem como os eventos de domínio;
Com o design estratégico, conseguimos separar os contextos, com o tático, conseguimos mapear as entidades do negócio, para então começar a desenvolver o nosso programa.
- Clareza do que é complexidade de negócio e complexidade técnica;
Por fim, deixo uma definição do Vernon sobre DDD:
---
“In short, DDD is primarily about modeling a Ubiquitous Language in an explicitly Bounded Context”
---
Resumindo, é conseguir modelar de forma explícita uma linguagem universal dentro de um contexto limitado do nosso domínio. Quando a linguagem muda, é sinal que já estamos em um contexto diferente de nossa aplicação.
# Domínios, sub-domínios e contextos
Pense na seguinte situação: está num quarto escuro com uma lanterna. De cara, não é possível enxergar o quarto todo. Porém, se formos iluminando uma parte do quarto de cada vez, poderemos “juntar os pedaços” em nossa cabeça e ter uma noção de como o quarto é.
O mesmo acontece com o problema (domínio) que o software irá resolver. De cara, não temos noção do seu todo. Porém, se separarmos esse problema em problemas menores (subdomínios), poderemos juntar os pedaços para ter uma visão mais completa e criar uma solução.
Neste sentido temos as seguintes divisões: Core, Support e Generic, explicadas na imagem a seguir:
Um ponto importante é que os softwares auxiliares são substituíveis, enquanto o ‘core’ é o que dá sentido a nossa aplicação - sem ele nosso projeto não existe.
Podemos entender essa separação em domínios e subdomínios como a definição de nosso Problema. Em sequência, o que faremos é o molde da Solução. Neste sentido, a partir dos subdomínios observados iremos delimitar contextos a eles → cada contexto provavelmente acabará por virar subprodutos a serem desenvolvidos por nós, devs.
Em resumo, vemos o problema (domínio), o quebramos em subproblemas (subdomínios), e então criamos fronteiras explícitas para esses problemas menores (contextos) que farão parte de nossa solução. Mas como faremos essa delimitação?
Bom, vamos analisar outra citação do Vernon:
---
“A Bounded Context is an explicit boundary within which a domain model exists. Inside the boundary all terms and phrases of the Ubiquitous Language have specific meaning, and the model reflects the Language with exactness.”
---
Com isso, podemos entender que uma das formas de definir essa fronteira é o uso da linguagem universal. Tudo que é específico daquele negócio, como as pessoas se comunicam e como os problemas são resolvidos possui uma terminologia → nesse caso geralmente todos estão dentro do mesmo contexto. Quando o linguajar começa a mudar, é indício que estamos cruzando a fronteira e entrando em um outro contexto. De forma simples, podemos identificar contextos diferentes quando:
- Temos palavras iguais significando coisas diferentes → um “ticket” no Contexto de “Venda de Ingresso” é diferente de um “ticket” no Contexto de “Suporte ao Cliente”;
- Temos palavras diferentes mas que significam a mesma coisa → ”cliente”, “freguês”, “usuário”, “comprador”;
Agora ficou ainda mais claro do porque não conseguimos utilizar o DDD em sistemas simplórios → o contexto é tão pequeno que todo mundo já “fala a mesma língua”, sendo assim não tem tanto sentido fazer uma modelagem de domínio.
# Elementos transversais
Entendendo a importância dos Bounded Contexts, que irão determinar qual área da empresa estamos trabalhando e o problema que estamos resolvendo, podemos também entender que contextos diferentes muitas vezes acabam “conversando” entre si → poderemos ter elementos transversais, que estão em contextos diferentes porém com perspectivas diferentes.
Aqui, o cliente é o mesmo, mas estão em contextos diferentes. Logo, para cada contexto teremos preocupações diversas (que poderão ser as propriedades de uma entidade Cliente), e isso é uma das coisas que mais gera confusão para os devs. O que mais acontece nos dias de hoje é modelar um Cliente tentando atender as preocupações de diversos contextos diferentes → nossa entidade/classe Cliente acaba ficando enorme e confusa.
Se tenho contextos diferentes, mesmo que a entidade seja a mesma, tenho que modelar ela de acordo com o contexto. Sendo assim, se estou em um monolito, e tenho uma área de suporte e outra de ingresso, ainda sim terei que criar entidades diferentes para representar esse Cliente.
Sem toda essa delimitação a aplicação vai ficando um monstro. Se quisermos depois quebrá-la em microsserviços, por exemplo, teríamos bastante esforço de reescrita.
# Context Mapping
Agora vamos pra um lado mais prático. Temos que ter estratégias para trabalhar e organizar as comunicações entre os contextos e também entre os times da empresa para iniciar o desenvolvimento - o Context Mapping descreve exatamente as possíveis perspectivas para termos uma visão holística sobre essas relações. Neste sentido, temos alguns padrões a se utilizar:
## Partnership (parceria)
Contextos podem compartilhar e consumir apis entre si. Exemplo: contexto de venda de ingressos online e contexto de vendas de ingressos a partir de parceiros.
## Shared kernel
Estes sistemas parceiros muitas vezes também podem ter um shared kernel. Exemplo: criar um sdk para ambos utilizarem.
## Customer-Supplier development - upstream/downstream
Um contexto vai fornecer um serviço para o outro consumir e poder realizar seu negócio, ditando as regras dele. Exemplo: a venda de ingressos online (downstream) que consome um serviço do contexto de pagamentos (upstream).
## Conformist
Considerando que o contexto de pagamentos consuma uma gateway externa de cartão de crédito, ele terá que se conformar com as regras do serviço disponibilizado (a não ser que o cliente corresponda a uma grande parte dos lucros do fornecedor, nesse caso poderá ter algum poder de decisão).
## Anti-corruption layer
Quanto mais conformista a relação, mais vou acoplando os sistemas e ficando difícil de substituir. Logo, para evitar isso, podemos criar uma ACL - camada de interface que servirá como um adaptador entre nosso contexto e a gateway utilizada - irá minimizar o problema de conformidade.
## Open Host Service
Um serviço (upstream) fornece um protocolo compartilhado que dá acesso aos seus subsistemas, como API Rest ou gRPC.
## Published language
A tradução entre os modelos de dois contextos delimitados precisa ter uma linguagem comum, bem documentada para expressar as informações de domínio necessárias. A “linguagem publicada” é frequentemente combinada com um serviço de host aberto (open host service).
## Separate ways
Quando contextos não tem relações de comunicação, desenvolvedores podem encontrar soluções simples e especializadas dentro de cada escopo específico.
## Big Ball of Mud
Quando um sistema tem modelos misturados e limites inconsistentes - não podemos permitir que essa “bagunça” se propague para outros contextos delimitados. É uma demarcação da baixa qualidade de um modelo/sistema.

I’ve been reflecting on the parallels between programming and life. In programming, objects represent entities with unique properties, and methods define the actions these entities can take. This mirrors our lives in many ways. We all have unique traits, but it's our actions and our methods that define our paths and outcomes.
By refining our methods, we can better navigate challenges and grow both personally and professionally. Let’s keep improving our methods to become the best versions of ourselves.

1,901,361 | React 19 Features - Release Canary | Hi there, how have you been? Everything in peace? I hope so! There was a long time that I don`t post... | 0 | 2024-06-27T13:49:55 | https://dev.to/kevin-uehara/react-19-features-release-canary-fog | react, javascript, typescript, braziliandevs | Hi there, how have you been? Everything in peace? I hope so!
There was a long time that I don`t post anything here! But now I want to bring a lot of content of, what you guess?
YEAH! Let's talk about `React 19` and the main features with examples and using `Vite and Typescript`!
I'm going to base on React 19 release notes documentation. But I will try to bring more easy examples.
So let's start the project using our React with Vite and Typescript. Enter on project directory and install the dependencies.
`yarn create vite react-19rc-example --template react-ts`
So with the project created, Vite will use the React 18 version. To change for React 19, we need to udpate (until the date of this post):
`yarn add --exact react@rc react-dom@rc`
And we need to add another dev dependencie, because we are using Typescript, on package.json:
````json
{
"dependencies": {
"@types/react": "npm:types-react@rc",
"@types/react-dom": "npm:types-react-dom@rc"
},
"overrides": {
"@types/react": "npm:types-react@rc",
"@types/react-dom": "npm:types-react-dom@rc"
}
}
````
And that's it! Now we upgraded to React 19 and we are prepared to code and see the examples:
### React Compiler
Before of React 19, on the background the React use the Virtual DOM. So if any state change on any tree components, the React will compare the Virtual DOM with the Real DOM. But probably you alredy faced some problems of performance in your application.
Imagine that you have 4 childrens inside the father component. And the last child component changes. React will detect the state update, compare and change the entire tree of you components.
But we can use some approaches to avoid this problem of re-render, for example memoization. For example, use the:
- useCallback
- useMemo
- memo
Now with the 19 release version, it was introduced the `React Compiler` So, now, the React render again when the semantic value changes, but without impact on the time cost and execution of deep comparations.
The React Compiler, introduced in React 19, is an advanced feature that aims to optimize the development experience and performance of React applications. Also known as the "Babel Inline JSX Transform", this compiler improves the way JSX is transformed into JavaScript. Here are the main points about React Compiler:
- Direct Transformation of JSX
- Elimination of the dead code
- Otimizations for compilers
- Three Shaking Improvements
The React Compiler replace the old method of JSX transformation to something more closer of native execution of Javascript.
## Hooks Actions
React 19 bring the concept of some hooks called actions. I will bring the main and interesting new hooks:
- useTransition
- useActionState
- useFormStatus
- useOptimistic
- useDeferredValue
- use
### useTransition
To understand, let's create a component and see the before and after to compare the use of the new hook:
````tsx
// Before Actions
export const UpdateNameComponent = () => {
const [name, setName] = useState("");
const [error, setError] = useState(null);
const [isPending, setIsPending] = useState(false);
const handleSubmit = async () => {
setIsPending(true);
const error = await updateName(name);
setIsPending(false);
if (error) {
setError(error);
return;
}
};
return (
<div>
<input value={name} onChange={(event) => setName(event.target.value)} />
<button onClick={handleSubmit} disabled={isPending}>
Update
</button>
{error && <p>{error}</p>}
</div>
);
}
````
Now let's see now with React 19:
````tsx
// Before Actions
export const UpdateNameComponent = () => {
const [name, setName] = useState("");
const [error, setError] = useState(null);
const [isPending, startTransition] = useTransition();
const handleSubmit = () => {
startTransition(async () => {
const error = await updateName(name);
if (error) {
setError(error);
return;
}
console.log("SUCCESS");
});
};
return (
<div>
<input value={name} onChange={(event) => setName(event.target.value)} />
<button onClick={handleSubmit} disabled={isPending}>
Update
</button>
{error && <p>{error}</p>}
</div>
);
}
````
### useActionState
The hook useActionState was introduced and projected to simplify the async operations on forms and another integrations that envolves state management and side effects.
The `useActionState` receive two parameters:
- Async function that will return a new payload whith the new state of the promisse.
- Initial State of the component before for any action to be executed.
````tsx
import { useActionState } from "react";
const submitAction = async (prevState, formData) => {
const response = await updateName(formData);
return { ...prevState, data: response.data, status: response.success ? "SUCCESS" : "ERROR" };
};
const initialState = { data: null, status: "INIT" };
const FormComponent = () => {
const [state, submit, isPending] = useActionState(submitAction, initialState);
return (
<form action={submit}>
<input type="text" name="input" placeholder="Type something" />
<button type="submit" disabled={isPending}>Submit</button>
<div>
{state.status === "INIT" && <p>Awaiting submission...</p>}
{state.status === "SUCCESS" && <p>Submission successful!</p>}
{state.status === "ERROR" && <p>Submission failed. Try again.</p>}
</div>
</form>
);
};
````
### useFormStatus
The `useFormStatus` is one of the `<form/>` integrations. It was introduced to form state management, specially on async operations and validations. We can say, that is a generic form to validate form, like react-forms.
````tsx
import { useFormStatus } from "react";
const FormComponent = () => {
const { isSubmitting, isValidating, isSuccessful, hasError } = useFormStatus();
return (
<form>
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name" />
<button type="submit" disabled={isSubmitting || isValidating}>Submit</button>
{isSubmitting && <p>Submitting...</p>}
{isValidating && <p>Validating...</p>}
{isSuccessful && <p>Form submitted successfully!</p>}
{hasError && <p>Error occurred during submission.</p>}
</form>
);
};
````
Amazing, right?
### useOptimistic
The `useOptimistic` allows the temporary update of the state, assuming that the operation was successfully or not.
This hook receive two parameters:
- actualState: the real actual state that the hook should use as base.
- updateFn (optional): this function will return the real state with the value received (setOptimisticState), calculating the new state optimistic.
````tsx
import { useOptimistic } from "react";
const fakeApiCall = (newTitle) => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(() => {
Math.random() > 0.5 ? resolve() : reject();
}, 1000);
});
const TitleComponent = () => {
const [title, setTitle] = useState("Old Title");
const [optimisticTitle, setOptimisticTitle] = useOptimistic(title);
const [error, setError] = useState(null);
const handleUpdateTitle = async (newTitle) => {
setError(null);
setOptimisticTitle(newTitle);
try {
await fakeApiCall(newTitle);
setTitle(newTitle);
} catch (e) {
setOptimisticTitle(title);
setError("Failed to update title");
}
};
return (
<div>
<h1>{optimisticTitle}</h1>
{error && <p>{error}</p>}
<button onClick={() => handleUpdateTitle("New Title")}>
Update Title
</button>
</div>
);
};
````
### useDeferredValue
On the new version of React 19, was introced the initialValue option to `useDeferredValue`.
When initialValue is provided, the `useDeferredValue` will return it as value for the initial render of the component, and schedules a re-render in the background with the deferredValue returned.
````tsx
import { useDeferredValue } from "react";
const Search({deferredValue}: {deferredValue: string}) {
// On initial render the value is ''.
// Then a re-render is scheduled with the deferredValue.
const value = useDeferredValue(deferredValue, '');
return (
<Results query={value} />
);
}
````
### use
ANNND the `use`. Probably one of the amazing hooks. Just "use"! I'm kidding!
But now the side effects that you already faced using the `useEffect`. Now you can read a primise with `use` and the React will Suspend until the promise resolves.
````tsx
import {use} from 'react';
const Comments = ({commentsPromise}) => {
const comments = use(commentsPromise);
return comments.map(comment => <p key={comment.id}>{comment}</p>);
}
const Page = ({commentsPromise}: {commentsPromise: Promise<any>}) => {
return (
<Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
<Comments commentsPromise={commentsPromise} />
</Suspense>
)
}
````
So, until the promise resolve, react will render the Suspense as fallback component. Incredible, right???
### REF as a prop
Now in new version of React 19, now we can access `ref` as a prop for function components. Now will no longer need `forwardRef` (OMG!!! Emotional)
````tsx
const MyInput({placeholder, ref}) {
return <input placeholder={placeholder} ref={ref} />
}
<MyInput ref={ref} />
````
### Support for Document Metadata!!!
Now we can use the metadata on our components!!! It is a BIG step for `SEO improvements`!!!
In the past, tags like "<title>", "<link>" and "<meta>" were reserved for placement in the "<head>" section of the document. Now with the new version, React support for renderding document metadata tags in component natively. When React, render the component, it will see the "<title>", "<link>" and "<meta>" tags, and automatically hoist them to the <head> section of document.
````tsx
const BlogPost = ({post}) => {
return (
<article>
<h1>{post.title}</h1>

### Support for Stylesheets
Stylesheets, both externally linked (<link rel="stylesheet" href="...">) and inline (<style>...</style>), require careful positioning in the DOM due to style precedence rules. Building a stylesheet capability that allows for composability within components is hard, so users often end up either loading all of their styles far from the components that may depend on them, or they use a style library which encapsulates this complexity.
Now in React 19, we can use this complexity and provide the styles in our own component, using integration into concourrent rendering.
If you tell React the precedence of your stylesheet it will manage the insertion order of the stylesheet in the DOM and ensure that the stylesheet (if external) is loaded before revealing content that depends on those style rules.
````tsx
function ComponentOne = () => {
return (
<Suspense fallback="loading...">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="foo" precedence="default" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bar" precedence="high" />
<article class="foo-class bar-class">
{...}
</article>
</Suspense>
)
}
const ComponentTwo = () => {
return (
<div>
<p>{...}</p>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="baz" precedence="default" /> <-- will be inserted between foo & bar
</div>
)
}
````
And that's it folks!
There's a lot more features of React 19, like Server Components and Server Actions that was added. But these themes I want to introduce you in another article.
The main objective of this article was to bring the main news about React 19.
I hope you liked it!
Thank you so much and stay well always!

# Gradientes
es una transicion suave entre dos o mas colores.
# **Linear gradient:**
---
El gradiente lineal va avanzando linea a linea,
#### Estructura
```css
background: linear-gradient(direction, color-stop1, color-stop2, ...);
```
**direction:** Especifica la dirección del gradiente. Puede ser un ángulo (por ejemplo, 45deg) o palabras clave como to right, to left, to bottom, etc.
**color-stop:** Son los colores por los cuales el gradiente pasa. Puede incluir múltiples colores.

# **Radial gradient:**
---
Un gradiente radial es una transición suave de colores que se irradia desde un punto central hacia afuera en forma de círculo o elipse. A diferencia de los gradientes lineales que cambian de color a lo largo de una línea, los gradientes radiales cambian de color en círculos concéntricos alrededor de un centro.
#### Estructura
```css
background: radial-gradient(
shape size at position,
color-stop1,
color-stop2,
...
);
```
**shape:** Define la forma del gradiente, puede ser circle (círculo) o ellipse (elipse).
**size:** Especifica el tamaño del gradiente, puede ser _closest-side_, _closest-corner_, _farthest-side_, _farthest-corner_, etc.
**position:** Define la posición del centro del gradiente. Por defecto es center.
**color-stop:** Los colores por los cuales el gradiente pasa. Puede incluir múltiples colores.
#### Ejemplo 1
```css
.background {
background: radial-gradient(circle, red, blue);
}
```
Este ejemplo crea un gradiente radial en forma de círculo que va de rojo a azul.
#### Ejemplo 2
```css
.background {
background: radial-gradient(circle, red, yellow, green);
}
```
Este ejemplo crea un gradiente radial en forma de círculo que va de rojo a amarillo a verde.
#### Ejemplo 3
```css
.background {
background: radial-gradient(ellipse, 250px, 100px red, blue);
}
```
Este ejemplo crea un gradiente radial en forma de elipse que va de rojo a azul. podemos tambien especificar su tamaño
# Transform
---
Una **transformación** es una modificación de la forma en que se muestra un elemento. Todo elemento transformado por CSS cambia la forma en que se ve, pero no el lugar que ocupa. Los efectos que se pueden lograr son:
- translate(): Mueve el elemento en el plano 2D o 3D.
- rotate(): Rota el elemento alrededor de un punto específico.
- scale(): Escala el elemento en el plano 2D o 3D.
- skew(): Inclina el elemento a lo largo de los ejes X e Y.
- matrix(): Define una matriz 2D de transformación general.
```css
transform: <transform-function>...;
```
#### Ejemplo general
```css
transform: translateX(100px) rotate(45deg) scale(1.5);
```
# Transform translate
Requiere dos números y su unidad, separados por una coma:
#### Estructura
```css
transform: translate(tx, ty, tz);
```
- El primero es el desplazamiento horizontal (eje X).
- El segundo es el desplazamiento vertical (eje Y).
- Valores positivos: mueven el elemento a la derecha/abajo.
- Valores negativos: mueven el elemento a la izquierda/arriba.
- También existen translateX() y translateY(), cada uno sólo recibe un número con su unidad.
#### Ejemplo base
```HTML
<section>
<h2 class="title-translate">Transformaciones</h2>
<div class="container">
<div class="container-item">
<!-- translate -->
<div class="item translate">Translate</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>
```
```css
.title {
text-align: center;
margin-top: 70px;
}
.container {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
grid-template-rows: auto;
max-width: 1200px;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
margin: auto;
margin-bottom: 70px;
}
.container-item {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
justify-self: center;
border: 1px solid grey;
background-color: aliceblue;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
font-size: 1.5em;
margin: 30px;
}
.item {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: #6a82fb;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
color: white;
gap: 20px;
}
/* translate */
.translate:hover {
transform: translate(10px, 20px);
}
```
# Transform Rotate
La rotación permite girar un objeto sin deformarlo. Se hace con el transform: rotate( ).
Recibe entre paréntesis un número, que representa la cantidad de grados a girar el objeto:
#### Estructura
```css
transform: rotate(angle);
```
- Si es positivo, rota hacia la derecha (en sentido horario).
- Si es negativo, rota hacia la izquierda (sentido antihorario).
Por tratarse de grados, la unidad que acompaña el número será deg (degrees).
#### Ejemplo 1
```HTML
<div class="container-item">
<div class="item rotate">Rotate</div>
</div>
```
```css
/* rotate */
.rotate:hover {
transform: rotate(45deg);
}
```
#### Ejemplo 2
```HTML
<div class="container-item">
<div class="item rotateX">RotateX</div>
</div>
```
```css
/* rotateX */
.rotateX:hover {
transform: rotateX(180deg);
}
```
#### Ejemplo 3
```HTML
<div class="container-item">
<div class="item rotateY">RotateY</div>
</div>
```
```css
/* rotateY */
.rotateY:hover {
transform: rotateY(180deg);
}
```
# Transform Scale
transform:scale( ), cambia la escala del objeto (como si fuese un zoom).
#### Estructura
```css
transform: scale(sx, sy, sz);
```
Requiere dos números separados por coma:
- El primero es el ancho (Escala en eje X).
- El segundo es el alto (Escala en eje Y).
- Valores mayores a 1, agrandan.
- Valores entre 1 y 0, achican.
- Valores negativos, escalan dado vuelta.
- Si solo se quiere cambiar un eje, existen scaleX() y scaleY(),
- cada uno sólo recibe un número.
#### Ejemplo 1
```HTML
<div class="container-item">
<div class="item scale">Scale</div>
</div>
```
```css
/* scale */
.scale:hover {
transform: scale(1.2);
}
```
#### Ejemplo 2
```HTML
<div class="container-item">
<div class="item scaleX">ScaleX</div>
</div>
```
```css
.scaleX:hover {
transform: scaleX(1.2);
}
```
#### Ejemplo 3
```HTML
<div class="container-item">
<div class="item scaleY">ScaleY</div>
</div>
```
```css
.scaleY:hover {
transform: scaleY(1.2);
}
```
# Transform Skew
transform:skew( ) nos permite sesgar (torcer, deformar) objetos en CSS
#### Estructura
```css
transform: skew(ax, ay);
```
Puede tener hasta dos números separados por coma:
Sus parámetros son los ángulos de deformación en grados sexagesimales (deg).
El primero indica el eje “X”.
El segundo indica el eje “Y”.
#### Ejemplo 1
```HTML
<div class="container-item">
<div class="item skew">SkewX</div>
</div>
```
```css
/* skew */
.skew:hover {
transform: skew(20deg, 10deg);
}
```
#### Ejemplo 2
```HTML
<div class="container-item">
<div class="item skewX">SkewX</div>
</div>
```
```css
.skewX:hover {
transform: skewX(20deg);
}
```
#### Ejemplo 3
```HTML
<div class="container-item">
<div class="item skewY">SkewY</div>
</div>
```
```css
.skewY:hover {
transform: skewY(20deg);
}
```
# Transiciones
---
Con la propiedad **transition**, es posible lograr que al pasar el mouse por el elemento, el mismo “haga una animación”.
Recuerda que para los enlaces se utiliza a:hover, con el fin de que cambien sus estilos al pasar el mouse por encima. Esta pseudoclase se puede utilizar con cualquier elemento sobre el cual quisieras ejecutar una transición: un div, span, párrafo, etc.
#### Estructura
```css
transition: <property> <duration> <timing-function> <delay>;
```
#### Propiedades principales de las transiciones:
- **transition-property:** Especifica la propiedad CSS a la que se aplicará la - transición.
- **transition-duration:** Define cuánto tiempo debe durar la transición.
- **transition-timing-function:** Describe cómo debe progresar la
transición (por ejemplo, de manera lineal, rápida al principio, etc.).
- **linear:** La transición se produce a una velocidad constante.
- **ease:** La transición empieza lentamente, se acelera en el medio y luego desacelera al final.
- **ease-in:** La transición comienza lentamente y luego acelera.
- **ease-out:** La transición comienza rápidamente y luego desacelera.
- **ease-in-out:** La transición comienza lentamente, se acelera en el medio y luego desacelera al final.
- **step-start:** La transición salta instantáneamente al valor final al comienzo.
- **step-end:** La transición se mantiene en el valor inicial hasta el final, cuando salta instantáneamente al valor final.
- **steps(int, start|end):** Divide la transición en un número fijo de intervalos o pasos. int es el número de pasos y start o end especifican si el cambio ocurre al comienzo o al final de cada intervalo.
- **transition-delay:** Especifica un retraso antes de que comience la transición.
#### Ejemplo1
```HTML
<!-- Cambio de color de fondo -->
<div class="box1"></div>
```
```css
/* Cambio de color */
.box1 {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: rgb(106, 13, 134);
transition: background-color 0.5s ease-in-out;
margin: auto;
}
.box1:hover {
background-color: rgb(184, 42, 177);
}
```
#### Ejemplo 2
```HTML
<!-- Cambio de tamaño -->
<div class="box2"></div>
```
```css
/* Cambio de tamaño */
.box2 {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: rgb(155, 18, 86);
transition: width 1s, height 1s;
margin: 70px auto;
}
.box2:hover {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
```
En este ejemplo, al pasar el ratón sobre el div con clase box,
su tamaño cambiará de 100px a 200px en ambos sentidos (ancho y alto)
en 1 segundo.
#### Ejemplo 3
```HTML
<!-- Desplazamiento con manipulación de los tiempos -->
<div class="box3"></div>
```
```css
/* Desplazamiento con manipulación de los tiempos*/
.box3 {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: orange;
transition: transform 3s cubic-bezier(0.68, -0.55, 0.27, 1.55);
margin: 70px auto;
}
.box3:hover {
transform: translateX(200px);
}
```
En este ejemplo, se utiliza la función de tiempo cubic-bezier
para crear una transición personalizada. Al pasar el ratón
sobre el div con clase box, este se moverá 200px a la derecha
en 1 segundo siguiendo la curva de la función cubic-bezier.
cubic-bezier es una función que te permite definir una curva
de tiempo personalizada para la transición. Esta función acepta
cuatro valores numéricos que representan los puntos de control de
una curva de Bezier cúbica. Estos puntos de control determinan
cómo varía la velocidad de la transición a lo largo del tiempo.
Punto de control P1 (x1, y1):
**x1:** Controla la posición horizontal del primer punto de control.
y1: Controla la posición vertical del primer punto de control.
Punto de control P2 (x2, y2):
**x2:** Controla la posición horizontal del segundo punto de control.
**y2:** Controla la posición vertical del segundo punto de control.
Funcionamiento de los puntos de control:
**Valores de x (horizontal):** Determinan cómo varía la aceleración
o desaceleración de la transición a lo largo del tiempo.
**Un valor bajo de x (cerca de 0)** indica una aceleración inicial rápida.
**Un valor alto de x (cerca de 1)** indica una aceleración o
desaceleración más suave.
**Valores de y (vertical):** Afectan la tasa de cambio de velocidad
durante la transición.
**Un valor bajo de y (cerca de 0)** indica una transición más lineal o uniforme.
**Un valor alto de y (cerca de 1)** indica cambios bruscos en la velocidad,
como una aceleración inicial seguida de una desaceleración rápida,
o viceversa.
Estos valores determinan cómo se comporta la aceleración
y desaceleración de la transición transform durante 1 segundo
# Animaciones
---
A diferencia de la transición, una animación es un efecto que se repite en bucle (en loop) tantas veces como se quiera.
No depende del cambio de estado (el elemento se animará desde la carga de la web).
Es la unión de dos partes: por un lado, una línea de tiempo (llamada keyframe) con la información de los cambios; por otro, aplicar ese keyframe a un elemento que será el que se verá animado.
#### Estructura de una Animación en CSS
`1. Definición de @keyframes`
La regla **@keyframes** especifica cómo cambia un elemento durante una animación a lo largo del tiempo. Puedes definir varios pasos (keyframes) que describen los estilos que el elemento debe tener en puntos específicos durante la animación.
```css
@keyframes nombreAnimacion {
0% {
/* Estilos al inicio de la animación (0% del tiempo) */
}
50% {
/* Estilos a la mitad de la animación (50% del tiempo) */
}
100% {
/* Estilos al final de la animación (100% del tiempo) */
}
}
```
**nombreAnimacion**: Es el nombre que le das a la animación. Puedes usar este nombre más tarde para aplicar la animación a un elemento.
**Porcentajes (0%, 50%, 100%, etc.)**: Representan el progreso de la animación en relación con su duración total. Puedes definir estilos para cualquier porcentaje entre 0% y 100%, y CSS interpolara automáticamente los estilos entre estos puntos.
`2. Aplicación de la Animación`
```css
/* Aplicación de la animación a un elemento */
.elemento {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: red;
animation: mover 3s ease-in-out infinite;
}
```
Una vez definida la animación con @keyframes, la aplicas a un elemento utilizando la propiedad animation.
**nombreAnimacion:** Es el nombre de la animación definida con @keyframes.
**2s:** Especifica la duración de la animación (en este caso, 2 segundos).
**ease-in-out:** Especifica la función de temporización de la animación, que determina cómo cambia la velocidad de la animación a lo largo del tiempo. Puedes usar valores como linear, ease, ease-in, ease-out, ease-in-out, o una función personalizada cubic-bezier.
**infinite:** Indica que la animación se repetirá indefinidamente. Puedes usar un número específico de repeticiones (3, 5, etc.) en lugar de infinite si deseas que la animación se repita un número determinado de veces.
#### Estructura general
```css
animation: <nombre> <duración> <función-de-temporización> <retraso>
<iteraciones> <dirección> <modo-de-llenado> <estado-de-reproducción>;
```
**nombre:** Especifica el nombre de la animación (@keyframes) que se aplicará.
**duración:** Define cuánto tiempo durará la animación. Puede ser especificada en segundos (s) o milisegundos (ms).
**función-de-temporización:** Indica cómo se interpolarán los valores durante la animación. Puedes utilizar funciones predefinidas (ease, linear, ease-in, ease-out, ease-in-out) o una función personalizada (cubic-bezier(x1, y1, x2, y2)).
**retraso**: Opcional. Define cuánto tiempo esperará la animación antes de comenzar a ejecutarse. Puede ser especificado en segundos (s) o milisegundos (ms).
**iteraciones**: Opcional. Indica cuántas veces se repetirá la animación. Puedes usar valores como infinite para repetición continua o un número específico para un número finito de repeticiones.
**dirección**: Opcional. Define la dirección en la que se ejecutará la animación (normal, reverse, alternate, alternate-reverse).
**modo-de-llenado**: Opcional. Especifica qué estilos deben aplicarse antes y después de la ejecución de la animación (forwards, backwards, both, none).
**estado-de-reproducción**: Opcional. Define si la animación está en ejecución (running) o pausada (paused).
#### Ejemplo Basico Completo
**HTML**
```HTML
<div class="elemento"></div>
```
**CSS**
```css
/* Definición de la animación */
@keyframes mover {
0% {
transform: translateX(0); /* Estado inicial */
}
50% {
transform: translateX(100px); /* Estado a la mitad de la animación */
background-color: blue; /* Cambio de color a la mitad */
}
100% {
transform: translateX(200px); /* Estado final */
background-color: green; /* Cambio de color al final */
}
}
.elemento {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: red;
animation: mover 3s ease-in-out infinite;
}
```
#### Ejemplo 1
```HTML
<div class="container-chicle">
<p class="chicle">Texto de prueba</p>
</div>
```
```css
.container-chicle {
width: 500px;
margin: auto;
}
.chicle {
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 50px;
text-align: center;
margin: 50px;
}
/* Asignamos la animación mediante pseudoclases cuando
haya una interacción del usuario */
.chicle:hover {
animation: 1s chicle 1;
}
/* Creamos la animación (con keyframes) */
@keyframes chicle {
30% {
transform: scaleX(1.2) scaleY(0.7);
}
40% {
transform: scaleX(0.7) scaleY(1.2);
}
60% {
transform: scaleX(1.1) scaleY(0.8);
}
}

Recently I got a question regarding streaming data vs events. Can streaming data be events? Is all streaming data events? Are all events streaming data?
In this post I will give my perspective on the matter, and how I see the correlation between the two. I will also introduce some AWS based architectures for different scenarios.
## Defining streaming data and events
Let's start with a small definition of streaming data and events.
Streaming Data: is a continuous flows of data generated by different sources that can be processed and analyzed in real-time. This type of data can be produced at a high velocity and volume. Some examples of streaming data include sensor data from IoT devices, log files from web servers, and click stream data from websites.
Events: are a record of a change in state that is important within a system. Events are often discrete, encapsulated pieces of information that indicate something has happened at a particular point in time. Examples of events are a temperature sensor reaching a threshold, a user being created in a system, or a door sensor changing state.
## Differences between streaming data and events
To understand the differences between streaming data and events there a few things we can look at.
### Data flow
Streaming data is normally compromised by a continuous flow of data points. The granularity and velocity of the data can vary. As an example, a temperature sensor that sends current reading every second even if there is no change in temperature. The flow of points are just continuous.
Events are a data flow where there has been a change in the system state that is important to the system. As example, a temperature sensor that only send temperature reading when there is a change in temperature or when a set threshold is crossed. The flow of data points depends on the change in temperature.
### Volume and velocity
Streaming data can have extreme high volume and velocity, as this is continuous data generation and transmission. Require a robust infrastructure to handle and process the influx of data. Since data is continuous loosing a reading is often not a problem.
Events can also be high in volume however as the focus on changes of state, the velocity is often lower. Still require a robust infrastructure since not loosing an event can be crucial for the system, a storage first architecture pattern is a good approach to secure this.
### Data structures
Streaming data can have varying structures, often including raw data that needs processing and filtering to extract meaningful information. The data might be unstructured, semi-structured, or structured.
Events are usually well-structured and contain predefined attributes, making them easier to interpret and act upon. Each event has a clear schema that describes its properties.
### Purpose and usage
Streaming data is often used for real-time or near real-time analytics and monitoring. It enables immediate insights and actions, such as anomaly detection, real-time dashboards, and live analytics.
Events are focused on capturing changes in state that can invoke actions within a system. Events are often used in event-driven architectures to drive workflows, notifications, and automated responses.
## Similarities between streaming Data and events
To understand the similarities between streaming data and events there a few things we can look at.
### Data volume
Both streaming data and events can generate a high volume of data that require a robust and scalable infrastructure. Often the volume over the day can fluxuate adding more requirements on the infrastructure.
### Real-time
Both streaming data and events can have real-time processing requirements, with different use-cases and purposes, which can be critical for applications requiring low latency and quick decision-making.
### Data sources
Streaming data and events can originate from similar sources, such as IoT devices, user interactions, and system logs. The distinction lies in how the data is captured and utilized.
## Practical applications and use-cases
This is some practical applications and use cases that leverage both concepts, and example architectures for implementation in AWS.
### Real-time analytics
Combining streaming data with event processing enables businesses to gain real-time insights. For example, companies can equip factories and production lines with IoT sensors, constantly measuring things like air quality, engine temperatures, and much more. This way it's possible to early detect problems that might impact the quality of the product.
In this solution we can rely on IoT core and have IoT sensors send data directly to the cloud over MQTT. We can create business logic and analytics to alert in case of problems. We could also have sensors send data to a central hub in the factory that then send data to a kinesis data stream for analytics.
### Monitoring and alerting
In cloud based applications, continuous monitoring of the system can identify issues and triggering alerts. We can utilize services like CloudWatch logs, CloudTrail, and AWS Config to gain insight and take action. This approach is enables us to understand system health and security.
### IoT sensors
Event-driven architectures allow for automated responses to specific events. For example, in smart homes, events like a door opening or a motion detected can trigger actions such as turning on lights or sending notifications. This automation can enhance convenience and security.
To implement this scenario we rely on IoT core for sensor events, door open or motion detected. With the powerful rules engine in IoT core we send this as an event to EventBridge, that will act as our broker. IoT core don't have a direct integration to EventBridge so we rely on SQS with EventBridge pipes. We can utilize StepFunctions to implement the business logic and then send the action back through IoT core.
## Conclusion
In conclusion, while streaming data and events are distinct concepts, they share similarities and can often intersect. Streaming data represents continuous flows of information, whereas events are changes in state. Understanding the nuances between the two is crucial for designing systems that leverage real-time insights and enable timely actions.
Almost all the time events can be seen as streaming data, while streaming data most often is not events.
## Final Words
This was a post looking the the differences and similarities between streaming data and events. Streaming data is not always events, while events often can be treated as streaming data.

1,902,675 | Votre soutien sur la création de cette application nommer "wommer" | Aide moi a le terminé merci Parfait ! Commençons avec la mise en place de votre projet sur Replit.... | 0 | 2024-06-27T13:45:07 | https://dev.to/lia92/votre-soutien-sur-la-creation-de-cette-application-nommer-wommer-f99 | Aide moi a le terminé merci
Parfait ! Commençons avec la mise en place de votre projet sur Replit. Nous allons suivre ces étapes :
1. **Créer et configurer le backend avec Node.js pour l'analyse de texte.**
2. **Tester l'API du backend.**
3. **Créer et configurer le frontend avec React Native ou React.js (selon vos préférences).**
4. **Intégrer la reconnaissance vocale et connecter le frontend au backend.**
### Étape 1 : Créer et Configurer le Backend
1. **Créer un nouveau projet Node.js sur Replit :**
- Allez sur [Replit](https://replit.com/).
- Cliquez sur "Create" pour créer un nouveau projet.
- Choisissez "Node.js" comme template.
- Nommez votre projet (par exemple, "Text-Analysis-Backend").
2. **Installer les dépendances nécessaires :**
- Dans la console Replit, installez les dépendances `express`, `body-parser` et `sentiment`.
```bash
npm install express body-parser sentiment
```
3. **Configurer le serveur :**
- Remplacez le contenu de `index.js` avec le code suivant :
```javascript
const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const sentiment = require('sentiment');
const app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.json());
const analyzeText = (text) => {
const sentimentAnalysis = sentiment(text);
let score = sentimentAnalysis.score;
let emotionalState = 'Neutre';
if (score > 0) {
emotionalState = 'Optimiste';
} else if (score < 0) {
emotionalState = 'Pessimiste';
}
return { score, emotionalState };
};
app.post('/analyze', (req, res) => {
const { text } = req.body;
const result = analyzeText(text);
res.json({ analysis: result });
});
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(PORT, () => {
console.log(`Server running on port ${PORT}`);
});
```
4. **Tester le serveur :**
- Cliquez sur le bouton "Run" pour démarrer le serveur.
- Replit fournira une URL pour accéder à votre serveur. Notez cette URL.
5. **Tester l'API avec un outil comme Postman ou directement depuis Replit :**
- Envoyez une requête POST à `http://<your-repl-url>/analyze` avec le JSON suivant dans le corps de la requête :
```json
{
"text": "Je me sens très bien aujourd'hui !"
}
```
- Vous devriez recevoir une réponse JSON contenant l'analyse émotionnelle du texte.
### Étape 2 : Configurer le Frontend
Pour le frontend, nous allons utiliser React Native avec Expo.
1. **Créer un nouveau projet Expo :**
- Ouvrez votre terminal local et exécutez les commandes suivantes pour installer Expo CLI si ce n'est pas déjà fait :
```bash
npm install -g expo-cli
```
- Créez un nouveau projet Expo :
```bash
expo init TextAnalysisFrontend
cd TextAnalysisFrontend
```
- Choisissez le template "blank".
2. **Configurer le projet React Native pour la reconnaissance vocale :**
- Installez la bibliothèque `@react-native-voice/voice`.
```bash
expo install @react-native-voice/voice
```
3. **Développer le composant de reconnaissance vocale :**
- Remplacez le contenu de `App.js` avec le code suivant :
```jsx
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { View, Button, Text } from 'react-native';
import Voice from '@react-native-voice/voice';
const App = () => {
const [recognized, setRecognized] = useState('');
const [started, setStarted] = useState('');
const [results, setResults] = useState([]);
useEffect(() => {
Voice.onSpeechStart = onSpeechStart;
Voice.onSpeechRecognized = onSpeechRecognized;
Voice.onSpeechResults = onSpeechResults;
return () => {
Voice.destroy().then(Voice.removeAllListeners);
};
}, []);
const onSpeechStart = (e) => {
setStarted('√');
};
const onSpeechRecognized = (e) => {
setRecognized('√');
};
const onSpeechResults = (e) => {
setResults(e.value);
analyzeText(e.value.join(' '));
};
const startRecognizing = async () => {
try {
await Voice.start('fr-FR'); // Utilisez le code de langue approprié
setRecognized('');
setStarted('');
setResults([]);
} catch (e) {
console.error(e);
}
};
const stopRecognizing = async () => {
try {
await Voice.stop();
} catch (e) {
console.error(e);
}
};
const analyzeText = async (text) => {
try {
const response = await fetch('https://<your-repl-url>/analyze', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ text })
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
// Afficher ou traiter les données reçues ici
} catch (e) {
console.error(e);
}
};
return (
<View>
<Button title="Start Recognizing" onPress={startRecognizing} />
<Button title="Stop Recognizing" onPress={stopRecognizing} />
<Text>Started: {started}</Text>
<Text>Recognized: {recognized}</Text>
<Text>Results: {results.join(', ')}</Text>
</View>
);
};
export default App;
```
4. **Tester le frontend :**
- Dans le terminal de votre projet Expo, exécutez la commande :
```bash
expo start
```
- Utilisez l'application Expo Go sur votre appareil mobile pour scanner le QR code affiché et tester l'application.
### Suivi et Améliorations
- **Suivi des résultats et historique :** Implémentez une base de données pour stocker les résultats des analyses et afficher un historique.
- **Interface utilisateur améliorée :** Développez des écrans supplémentaires pour afficher les résultats d'analyse, des conseils et des ressources.
En suivant ces étapes, vous pourrez configurer et tester votre application d'auto-évaluation émotionnelle utilisant la reconnaissance vocale et l'analyse de texte. | lia92 | |

1,902,670 | LeetCode Day19 BackTracking Part 1 | 77. Combinations Given two integers n and k, return all possible combinations of k numbers... | 0 | 2024-06-27T13:41:15 | https://dev.to/flame_chan_llll/leetcode-day19-backtracking-part-1-55i7 | leetcode, java, algorithms, datastructures | # 77. Combinations
Given two integers n and k, return all possible combinations of k numbers chosen from the range [1, n].
You may return the answer in any order.
Example 1:
Input: n = 4, k = 2
Output: [[1,2],[1,3],[1,4],[2,3],[2,4],[3,4]]
Explanation: There are 4 choose 2 = 6 total combinations.
Note that combinations are unordered, i.e., [1,2] and [2,1] are considered to be the same combination.
Example 2:
Input: n = 1, k = 1
Output: [[1]]
Explanation: There is 1 choose 1 = 1 total combination.
Constraints:
1 <= n <= 20
1 <= k <= n
## Wrong Code
```
public List<List<Integer>> combine(int n, int k) {
List<List<Integer>> list = new ArrayList<>();
List<Integer> nums = new ArrayList<>();
backTracking(list,1,1,n,k,nums);
return list;
}
public void backTracking(List<List<Integer>> list, int base,int size,int n, int k,List<Integer> nums)
{
if(size>k){
list.add(new ArrayList<>(nums));
return;
}
for(int i=base; base<n; i++ ){
nums.add(i);
backTracking(list,i+1,size+1,n,k,nums);
nums.remove(nums.size()-1);
}
}
```
But it causes Memory Limit Exceeded Error in LeetCode
There are some errors here.
1, the loop condition is wrong we should use i but the above code use base as the end evaluation condition.
2, the right threshold can be n and if i<n it will miss the possibility that when the n is an element of the potential combination.
## Fine Code
```
public List<List<Integer>> combine(int n, int k) {
List<List<Integer>> list = new ArrayList<>();
List<Integer> nums = new ArrayList<>();
backTracking(list,1,1,n,k,nums);
return list;
}
public void backTracking(List<List<Integer>> list, int base,int size,int n, int k,List<Integer> nums)
{
if(size>k){
list.add(new ArrayList<>(nums));
return;
}
for(int i=base; i<=n; i++ ){
nums.add(i);
backTracking(list,i+1,size+1,n,k,nums);
nums.remove(nums.size()-1);
}
}
```
```
List<List<Integer>> list = new LinkedList<>();
List<Integer> nums = new LinkedList<>();
public List<List<Integer>> combine(int n, int k) {
backTracking(1,n,k);
return list;
}
public void backTracking(int base, int n, int k)
{
if(nums.size()==k){
list.add(new ArrayList<>(nums));
return;
}
for(int i=base; i<=n; i++ ){
nums.add(i);
backTracking(i+1,n,k);
nums.removeLast();
}
}
```
There are some differences here that we can directly depend on the size of the global path list but here the size of the nums it the right answer!!!
Before the size is not the right answer because we have not added the last element to the path list.
It seems like adopting global variables may lead to a decrease in performance?
# This is a more general method but the question asks that we only use numbers that are <= 9 and >= 1
```
public List<List<Integer>> combinationSum3(int k, int n) {
List<List<Integer>> list = new ArrayList<>();
List<Integer> path = new LinkedList<>();
backTracking(list, path, 1, k, n);
return list;
}
public void backTracking(List<List<Integer>>list, List<Integer> path,
int start, int k, int n){
if(path.size() == k){
int sum = path.stream().reduce(0,Integer::sum);
if(sum == n){
list.add(new ArrayList<>(path));
}
}
for(int i=start ; i<=n; i++){
int sum = path.stream().reduce(0,Integer::sum);
if(sum>n){
break;
}
path.add(i);
backTracking(list,path,i+1, k,n );
path.remove(path.size()-1);
}
}
```
```
public List<List<Integer>> combinationSum3(int k, int n) {
List<List<Integer>> list = new ArrayList<>();
List<Integer> path = new LinkedList<>();
backTracking(list, path, 1, k, n);
return list;
}
public void backTracking(List<List<Integer>>list, List<Integer> path,
int start, int k, int n){
if(path.size() == k){
int sum = path.stream().reduce(0,Integer::sum);
if(sum == n){
list.add(new ArrayList<>(path));
}
}
for(int i=start ; i<=9; i++){
int sum = path.stream().reduce(0,Integer::sum);
if(sum>n){
break;
}
path.add(i);
backTracking(list,path,i+1, k,n );
path.remove(path.size()-1);
}
}
```
It seems some redundant calculations are used for sum
```
public List<List<Integer>> combinationSum3(int k, int n) {
List<List<Integer>> list = new ArrayList<>();
List<Integer> path = new LinkedList<>();
backTracking(list, path, 1, k, n, 0);
return list;
}
public void backTracking(List<List<Integer>>list, List<Integer> path,
int start, int k, int n, int sum){
if(path.size() == k){
if(sum == n){
list.add(new ArrayList<>(path));
}
}
for(int i=start ; i<=9; i++){
sum += i;
if(sum>n){
break;
}
path.add(i);
backTracking(list,path,i+1, k,n, sum);
path.remove(path.size()-1);
sum -= i;
}
}
```

List<String> list = new LinkedList<>();
if(digits.length() == 0){
return list;
}
String[] arr = {
"",

};
backTracking(list, new StringBuilder(), 0, digits, arr);
return list;
}
public void backTracking(List<String> list, StringBuilder s, int start, String digits, String[] arr){
if(start == digits.length()){
list.add(s.toString());
return;
}
int num = digits.charAt(start)-'0';
String button = arr[num];
for(int i=0; i<button.length(); i++){

I analyzed the "Retail Sales Data" [dataset](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/kyanyoga/sample-sales-data) from Kaggle for this task. The goal of this analysis is to gain initial insights from the data and summarize them in a short technical report.
**Observations**
After a first glance at the dataset, we identified the following observations:
1. Sales Data by Regions:
The dataset contains sales data broken down by different regions. There are eight regions: Central, East, South, West, International, Atlantic, Pacific, and Mountain. This allows for regional analysis of sales figures.
2. Monthly Sales Data:
The sales data is recorded monthly over several years. This enables the investigation of seasonal trends and the identification of sales peaks in certain months.
3. Product Categories:
There are various product categories included in the sales data. These categories include Electronics, Furniture, Office Supplies, and more. Analyzing sales figures by product categories can help identify popular and less popular products.
**Technical Visualization**
A simple bar chart is presented to support these observations, showing the average monthly sales figures by region.
**Conclusion**
The initial insights into the "Retail Sales Data" dataset show that sales figures vary by region, month, and product category. These insights can be further explored to conduct more detailed analyses and support data-driven decisions.

1,902,665 | Implementing Flux for GitOps Workflows on Kubernetes Clusters | GitOps, a modern software development and deployment approach, manages the entire infrastructure and... | 0 | 2024-06-27T13:37:54 | https://dev.to/platform_engineers/implementing-flux-for-gitops-workflows-on-kubernetes-clusters-2fn3 | GitOps, a modern software development and deployment approach, manages the entire infrastructure and application lifecycle through Git repositories as the single source of truth. This workflow introduces automation to previously manual processes, ensuring consistency, security, and collaboration across environments. In this article, we will delve into the technical details of implementing Flux for GitOps workflows on Kubernetes clusters.
### GitOps Overview
GitOps uses a Git repository to store all relevant information for defining, creating, and updating applications and infrastructure. This approach applies the same software development life cycle strategies used by DevOps teams to infrastructure management, enabling greater collaboration, release speed, and accuracy. GitOps adoption is growing to manage updates and features using familiar tools such as version control for infrastructure-as-code (IaC) in the same manner as application code.
### Flux for GitOps
Flux is a popular tool for implementing GitOps workflows on Kubernetes clusters. It helps manage containerized clusters and applications from a Git repository that serves as the single source of truth. Flux integrates with GitLab, Kubernetes, and GitOps to provide a comprehensive solution for continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD).
### Deployment Sequence
The deployment sequence in Flux involves several key components:
1. **Git Repository**: The Git repository contains the declarative description of the infrastructure and application configurations.
2. **Flux Source Controller**: The Flux source controller persistently tracks the Git repository for changes. Upon detection, it triggers a seamless sync with the target Kubernetes cluster.
3. **Kubernetes Cluster**: The Kubernetes cluster is the target environment where the application is deployed and managed.
### Immediate Git Repository Reconciliation
Flux provides immediate Git repository reconciliation, which reduces the time between a push and reconciliation. This feature is enabled by default on GitLab.com and self-managed in GitLab 16.2. It ensures that any changes to the Git repository are automatically detected and applied to the Kubernetes cluster.
### Token Management
Flux requires multiple access tokens to use certain features. It supports multiple token types to achieve the same result. This section provides guidelines for token management in Flux.
### OCI for Source Control
Flux recommends using OCI images as a source controller for Flux instead of a Git repository. The GitLab container registry supports OCI images. OCI images are designed to serve container images at scale and are immutable, supporting security scans.
### Example Configuration
Here is an example configuration for Flux:
```yaml
apiVersion: flux.weave.works/v1alpha1
kind: GitRepository
metadata:
name: my-repo
spec:
url: https://github.com/my-org/my-repo.git
interval: 1m
```
This configuration defines a Git repository named `my-repo` with a URL and an interval of 1 minute for reconciliation.
### Conclusion
Implementing [Flux for GitOps workflows](https://platformengineers.io/blog/continuous-delivery-using-git-ops-principles-with-flux-cd/) on Kubernetes clusters provides a robust and automated solution for managing containerized applications and infrastructure. By leveraging Flux, developers can streamline their workflow, reduce errors, and ensure consistency across environments. As [Platform Engineering](www.platformengineers.io) continues to evolve, tools like Flux will play a crucial role in managing complex Kubernetes deployments. | shahangita | |

1,902,662 | React vs Angular: In My Opinion (IMO) | Two of the most prominent contenders of the Javascript ecosystem are React.js and Angular. Having... | 0 | 2024-06-27T13:35:22 | https://dev.to/zgbocode/react-vs-angular-in-my-opinion-imo-b8k | Two of the most prominent contenders of the Javascript ecosystem are React.js and Angular. Having dabbled in both, I'd like to share my perspective on their strengths and weaknesses, along with my excitement about using React.js at the [HNG Internship](https://hng.tech/internship) program.
## React vs Angular
- **Library vs Framework:** At its core, React.js is a JavaScript library focused on building user interfaces (UI) with reusable components. Angular, on the other hand, is a full-fledged framework offering a more comprehensive set of tools for building complex web applications.
- **Learning Curve:** React's simplicity and focus on components make it easier to learn, especially for beginners. Angular, with its built-in features and steeper learning curve, might take longer to master.
- **Data Binding:** React utilizes a one-way data binding approach, giving you more control over data flow. Angular's two-way data binding streamlines development but can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior.
- **Performance:** React's virtual DOM ensures efficient rendering updates, making it generally faster than Angular.
## My Experience with React.js
I've found React.js to be a joy to work with. Its component-based architecture promotes code reusability and maintainability. The vast community and extensive ecosystem of libraries provide solutions for almost any need. This flexibility allows for a more customized development experience.
## HNG Internship
I'm happy to be participating in the HNG Internship Program using React.js. The program's focus on this in-demand library aligns perfectly with my development goals. I expect to hone my React skills, collaborate with talented developers, and contribute to a real-world project.
While both React.js and Angular are excellent tools, React's focus on simplicity, performance, and a thriving community makes it a perfect fit for me.

1,902,661 | Frontend Technologies | Hey there!!!! it is true that in the evolving world of technology, you may have come across software... | 0 | 2024-06-27T13:32:08 | https://dev.to/sardiusjay/frontend-technologies-2c27 | webdev, frontend, hng | Hey there!!!!
it is true that in the evolving world of technology, you may have come across software development, where you are hearing web development frontend and Backend but I will be sharing with you about Frontend Development and the Technologies behind it
let's dive in
Frontend development, also known as front-end development, refers to the process of creating the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) for websites and web applications. Frontend developers focus on the client side of web development, ensuring that the visual elements users interact with are functional, responsive, and aesthetically pleasing.
Here are some key points about frontend development:
## Languages and Technologies:
**HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)**: Used to structure content on web pages.
**CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)**: Styles the HTML content, controlling layout, colors, fonts, and responsiveness.
**JavaScrip**t: Adds interactivity, animations, and dynamic behavior to web pages.
## Responsibilities:
-Creating responsive layouts that adapt to different screen sizes (desktop, tablet, mobile).
-Implementing user interfaces based on design mockups.
-Handling user interactions (e.g., form submissions, button clicks).
-Optimizing performance for faster loading times.
-Ensuring cross-browser compatibility.
## Frameworks and Libraries:
**React.js**: A popular JavaScript library for building reusable UI components.
**Angular**: A comprehensive framework by Google for large-scale applications.
**Vue.js**: A flexible and lightweight framework.
**Next.js**: A React framework for server-side rendering (SSR) and static site generation (SSG).
## Tools and Build Systems:
Webpack: Bundles assets (JavaScript, CSS, images) for production.
Babel: Transpiles modern JavaScript code to older versions for wider browser support.
Sass/LESS: CSS preprocessors for better code organization.
Collaboration:
Frontend developers work closely with designers, backend developers, and other team members to create cohesive web applications.
Something amazing about this is that I started an internship with HNG [HNG Internship]( https://hng.tech/internship,) and it is an opportunity to learn more and challenge myself with frontend technologies like HTML, CSS, and Javascript and to build projects also.

1,902,659 | Umbraco Helper Labels | I've been working on a project recently which has encouraged me to dig a little deeper into Umbraco... | 0 | 2024-06-27T13:31:36 | https://dev.to/phil_93fe5acfd2fc42/umbraco-helper-labels-3okc | I've been working on a project recently which has encouraged me to dig a little deeper into Umbraco than I've done before and have fallen in love with the simplicity of it!
My customer asked if we could add some additional contextual documentation within the back office as reminders for their content editors. The 'Label' property would have sufficed but I felt there was some room for improvement, so did a little digging and after an hour or two of tinkering had a solution which I felt was worthy of sharing.
I may create a standalone Github repository for this and submit to the Umbraco marketplace if I get a spare moment but in the meantime the code is simple enough to simply share here.
## Manifest
```json
{
"propertyEditors": [
{
"alias": "HelperLabelPropertyEditor",
"name": "Helper Label",
"editor": {
"view": "~/App_Plugins/HelperLabelPropertyEditor/helperLabelView.html",
"valueType": "JSON"
},
"icon": "icon-info"
}
],
"javascript": [
"~/App_Plugins/HelperLabelPropertyEditor/helperLabel.controller.js"
]
}
```
## Controller
The secret sauce here was the discovery of the `hideLabel` property which worked wonders - without which I think this idea would have either become very messy or been mothballed before it got off the ground!
```js
(function () {
'use strict';
function HelperLabelPropertyEditor($scope) {
var vm = this;
vm.model = $scope.model;
$scope.model.hideLabel = true;
}
angular.module('umbraco').controller('HelperLabelPropertyEditor', HelperLabelPropertyEditor);
})();
```
## View
I'm not super familiar with the Umbraco UI Library or web components in general but had a quick poke around their [StoryBook ](https://uui.umbraco.com) and cobbled together something which seems somewhat suitable
```html
<style>
.no-padding { --uui-box-default-padding: 0; }
</style>
<div ng-controller="HelperLabelPropertyEditor as vm">
<uui-box ng-class="vm.model.description ? '' : 'no-padding'">
<p ng-bind="vm.model.description"></p>
<uui-icon name="info" slot="headline" style="font-size: var(--uui-size-7); --uui-icon-color: var(--uui-color-default-emphasis); "></uui-icon>
<uui-label slot="headline"> {{vm.model.label}}</uui-label>
</uui-box>
</div>
```
## Usage
Once you've created the plugin with the code above, just sign into your back office and create a new Data Type, choosing the 'Helper Label' as the property editor. You'll then be able to add this type of property anywhere you like within your document type.
## Compatibility
This was only tested in Umbraco 13.4.0 but will hopefully work in some older versions too.
I'd love to hear if anyone has any suggestions for further improvement here! | phil_93fe5acfd2fc42 | |

1,890,347 | Practical usages of Idempotency | Idempotency is a crucial concept in distributed systems and web applications, ensuring that... | 0 | 2024-06-27T13:29:11 | https://dev.to/woovi/practical-usages-of-idempotency-3926 | idempotency, distributedsystems | Idempotency is a crucial concept in distributed systems and web applications, ensuring that performing the same operation multiple times produces the same result.
This is particularly important in scenarios where operations might be retried due to failures or where duplicate requests might occur. Here are some practical use cases for idempotency
## Idempotency on Webhooks
You can't be sure that you will only receive a webhook once, most applications provide an at least once policy. This means they will deliver the webhook at least once but it does not mean it will be only once.
In this case, you can find something that uniquely identifies that webhook payload or create a hash from the webhook payload.
Using a state machine to avoid processing the same webhook twice and also using a unique database index to handle concurrency duplicated webhook requests.
## Idempotency on HTTP Requests
Most HTTP Requests that create a new resource should provide an idempotency ID to avoid duplicating the resource to be created.
When doing an HTTP Request you can't be sure if a request was a success or a failure in some network failure scenarios. To make sure you create the resource you need, you need to call the HTTP request again.
If the API does not have an idempotency ID, you can wait some time to try to GET the resource before trying to call the POST request again. This is a workaround, but the best way to avoid this is for the API to provide the idempotency ID.
## Idempotency in your codebase
For anything that you don't want to duplicate, you can have a pattern to always check if something exists before trying to create it. A simple implementation below:
```ts
const getOrCreateCharge = async (payload) => {
const existingCharge = await Charge.find({identifier: payload.identifier);
if (existingCharge) { return existingCharge }
const charge = await new Charge(payload).save();
return charge;
}
```
## Idempotency in Queues
It is common to use Queues in distributed systems to load processing to asynchronous and also to communicate in a decoupled way among services.
When processing a queue event, something can be wrong and you would need to reprocess it. The only safe way to reprocess is if the event processor is idempotent.
## Idempotency in Data Migrations
As your system evolves you need to write data migrations to migrate the old data patterns to new data patterns in your database.
Your migrations need to be idempotency, as it can break in the middle of the data migration. You want to be able to reprocess the migration without causing unexpected side effects.
## Idempotency in Seed
A seed script creates some basic database data to make it easy for developers to get up and running in your system.
Making your seed idempotent can avoid some problems if you run the seed script twice.
## How to implement Idempotency?
Idempotency Keys: Unique identifiers (e.g., UUIDs) associated with each request or operation.
Databases: Storing the state of operations (e.g., processed requests, completed transactions) to check against duplicates.
Hashing: Creating hashes of request payloads to detect and handle duplicates.
## In Conclusion
At Woovi we use idempotency a lot. Every time we are consuming a new service we ask ourselves, is this idempotency? Is this code idempotency? How can we make this code more idempotent?
This concept is used a lot in fintech and payments, but I think it can be applied when building any reliable software.

However, I found myself constantly frustrated with the high-friction workflow involved in adding images to my MD(X) blog files. The process typically involved several tedious steps:
1. Copy the image to the clipboard.
2. Use the VSCode "paste image" extension to paste the image into the repository root
3. Move the file to the `public/static` directory.
4. Rename the file.
5. Go to the MDX file, use the Image component, and point it to `/static/imagename`.
This process was not only time-consuming but also detracted from the pleasure of writing articles. So I went looking for CMS solutions, which I didn't know much about but felt promising.
👉 Want to see more ? [Follow me on Twitter](https://x.com/_indyman)
## Exploring CMS Solutions
I explored several CMS solutions, including:
- **Ghost**
- **Strapi**
- **CraftCMS**
While these platforms offered a lot of functionality, they introduced new challenges. For instance, you often need to pay for cloud hosting or manage self-hosting, which involves dealing with backups for both content (usually in a database) and media files (images and videos). Additionally, integrating the CMS content into a Next.js app requires making API calls, which adds complexity to the build process and necessitates environment variable configuration and deployment triggers.
### My Experience with Ghost
Ghost provided an excellent WYSIWYG editor and robust metadata management, but it had significant drawbacks for my use case:
1. **Headless CMS Limitations**: Ghost is designed to expose a website, and while you can set it to "private mode," this causes the API to stop returning metadata (keywords, images) for articles. This seems like a bug and was a deal-breaker for me.
2. **Inconsistent API Responses**: Occasionally, the API would return an empty list of blogs, resulting in builds with an empty "Blog" section. Rebuilding the app would sometimes fix this, but after several failed builds, I lost confidence in this approach.
Ultimately, I missed the simplicity of having content and assets colocated with my app. A straightforward GitHub repository setup, without the need for complex environment variables, API calls or backups felt better suited to my needs.
## Automating the Image Management Process
Fed up with the manual steps involved in image management, I decided to automate the process. My goal was to create a simple script that would:
1. Run directly from my Next.js project using `npm run <myscript>`.
2. Prompt for an image name and path, with default values.
3. Paste the image from the clipboard to the desired destination.
4. Generate the JSX code boilerplate pointing to the image.
5. Copy the generated JSX to my clipboard.
### Developing the Script
I created a `scripts/pasteimg.ts` file and began writing the script, leveraging GPT to expedite the process. One challenge was getting GPT to handle "taking the image from the clipboard," as it initially suggested using `clipboardy`, which isn't compatible with images.
Fortunately, I discovered the npm package [save-clipboard-image](https://www.npmjs.com/package/save-clipboard-image), which uses OSX native commands and perfectly fit my needs.
After spending a few minutes troubleshooting errors related to ESM modules while trying to run the script with `ts-node`, a recommendation to use [tsx](https://www.npmjs.com/package/tsx) resolved the issue instantly.
### The Final Result
Here's a demonstration of the script in action:
<a href="https://asciinema.org/a/s84kmp09hWOstBL8NuQ1O6Hvr" target="_blank"><img src="https://asciinema.org/a/s84kmp09hWOstBL8NuQ1O6Hvr.svg" /></a>
And the code behind it:
> Note: Only works on MacOS, you'll need to adjust the script for Windows or Linux.
```ts
import { saveClipboardImage } from "save-clipboard-image";
import inquirer from "inquirer";
import * as path from "path";
import * as fs from "fs";
import clipboardy from "clipboardy";
const NEXT_STATIC_DIR = "/static";
const NEXT_STATIC_PATH = path.join(process.cwd(), "/public", NEXT_STATIC_DIR);
async function run() {
// Ask for the image name
const { imageName } = await inquirer.prompt({
name: "imageName",
type: "input",
message: "Enter the name of the image (without extension):",
validate: (input: string) =>
input.trim() !== "" ? true : "Image name cannot be empty",
});
// Ask for the path with a default value
const { subdir } = await inquirer.prompt({
name: "subdir",
type: "input",
message: "Enter the target directory:",
default: "",
});
const fullTargetDirectory = path.join(NEXT_STATIC_PATH, subdir);
// Ensure the directory exists
if (!fs.existsSync(fullTargetDirectory)) {
fs.mkdirSync(fullTargetDirectory, { recursive: true });
}
// Save the image from the clipboard
try {
await saveClipboardImage(fullTargetDirectory, imageName);
} catch (error) {
// No image in clipboard, explain and exit
console.error("No image found in clipboard, please copy an image first.");
return;
}
// Construct the full path
const fullImagePath = path.join(fullTargetDirectory, `${imageName}.png`);
const relativeImagePath = path.join(NEXT_STATIC_DIR, imageName + ".png");
const jsxCode = `
<Image
src="${relativeImagePath}"
alt="${imageName}"
width={500}
height={200}
className="text-center shadow rounded-md"
/>`;
// Copy the generated JSX code to the clipboard using clipboardy
clipboardy.writeSync(jsxCode);
// Log success in terminal + summary (image path and JSX code)
console.log("Image saved successfully!");
console.log(`Image path: ${fullImagePath}`);
console.log(`JSX code copied to clipboard: ${jsxCode}`);
}
run();
```
## Conclusion
I'm thrilled with this custom script. It significantly simplifies the process of adding images to my blog, allowing me to focus on writing. Next.js takes care of optimizing the images for various screen sizes, and by committing both the content and media to the same repository, I no longer worry about backups or synchronization issues.

1,902,656 | 5 Great Reasons Why Manual Testing is Not Efficient | For any software development company or professional to produce a successful application, rigorous... | 0 | 2024-06-27T13:25:50 | https://dev.to/morrismoses149/5-great-reasons-why-manual-testing-is-not-efficient-23b9 | manualtesting, testgrid | For any software development company or professional to produce a successful application, rigorous testing is the key. As a stakeholder, you want the app, website, or software to be free of bugs and glitches before it is launched in the market.
It is always better to fix these errors before resorting to troubleshooting methods, later risking a shorter shelf life. The main aim of any profit-abiding enterprise is not to annoy its customers, which is achieved through testing these prototypes.
Over several decades, software developers have seen two kinds of testing – manual and automated. In this article, we want to shed some light on how, while manual testing seems to be the safer of the two options, it is not very efficient when it comes to software development.
## What is Manual Testing?
Manual testing is a software testing procedure in which test cases are inculcated and executed manually, devoid of any automation or scriptless coding. Manual testing involves a human tester who changes preferences according to the end user’s perspective. Since it is a completely labor-intensive process, even the test case reports, which are analyzed, are generated manually.
For a long time, software professionals have been using manual testing to test out their software and analyze the test cases. It is a mandatory check that every company must tick before proceeding to the next step in the development process.
While manual testing has no outward faults, it is a highly technical process executed only by the most accomplished professionals in the testing field. This makes the testing process extremely costly and time-bound, seeing as manual testing takes much more time than scriptless or automated testing.
This is why more and more companies and software professionals are upgrading to a more automated testing tool. By adopting an automated testing tool, enterprises save valuable time and effort.
## 5 Reasons Why Manual Testing is not the Best
Besides being an outdated technology, here are 5 reasons why manual testing may not be the right fit for your software development needs –
### 1. Manual Testing Requires More Time and Other Resources
–
Since manual testing requires a human professional to design the test cases, keeping in mind the different scenarios, executing said test cases, and then curating the test case reports for each of these cases, it takes a lot more time than an automated testing tool would.
Therefore, manual testing not only takes much longer than alternate means but also results in using more resources – such as time, space, and effort. Resources that can be employed somewhere where the human touch is more imperative.
### 2. Decreased Accuracy
Naturally, the nature of how manual testing is conducted makes it more prone to reporting basic human errors that can cause fluctuations in the final results. Human testers make mistakes, and it is hard to factor unforeseen mistakes into these test cases to produce accurate reports.
This accuracy is not compromised during automated testing as the right logic tool is inputted in order to get the correct information. Therefore, manual testing can hinder a software development company’s credibility and status while developing an app due to inaccurate data.
### 3. Narrower Scope
In manual testing, the scope for test cases becomes extremely limited because the testers are human. A person can only pay attention to, or concentrate on one or two verification points, slowing down the process.
As opposed to this, an automated testing tool is programmed to deal with many versatile test cases at once, giving more results in less time. This leaves very little scope for enterprising using manual testing, as it greatly binds them.
### 4. Lack of GUI Options
Manual testing is an incredibly technical skill only a professional can accomplish. Therefore, adding more customized options means an even greater skill set, making it difficult to inculcate versatile options.
Hence, it is very difficult to find manual testing tools that have graphic user interface tools such as an object, size, color, and differentiation combinations readily available – as opposed to an automated/scriptless testing tool.
This results in a more standard, less personalized test case, making it difficult for the enterprise to connect it with its application and analyze it accordingly.
### 5. Comparing Large Amounts of Data is Impractical
Test cases require comparing two databases across different teams to curate the perfect test case reports. In manual testing, comparing such large amounts of data and sifting through thousands of records becomes extremely impractical and unproductive.
Not only this but since two teams work together, there are bound to be certain misunderstandings due to different internal goals. This misleads the process and leads to impractical wastage of time. Such comparison can be easily done in a matter of minutes through automated testing, also eliminating any confusion.

## End Note
In an era of automation, where technology like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Low-code are thriving, it is natural for traditional methods like manual testing to take the backseat. Manual testing as an option served well for decades, helping companies test and perfect their applications into something that strives in the software pro-market.
So much so that, even today, a few companies still employ these tools. But it would be remiss not to mention that it is slowly exhausting its efficiency, as it is being usurped by the more practical, more attractive automated testing option. Automated testing introduced the concept of customized test cases, allowing developers to test their apps without any restrictions.

1,902,654 | Vue.js vs ReactJS: A Deep Dive into Two Frontend Titans | Introduction In the dynamic world of frontend development, picking the right framework is crucial.... | 0 | 2024-06-27T13:24:44 | https://dev.to/ubong_patrick/vuejs-vs-reactjs-a-deep-dive-into-two-frontend-titans-2ph3 |
**Introduction**
In the dynamic world of frontend development, picking the right framework is crucial. Today, we’ll dive into a comparison between Vue.js and ReactJS, two powerful JavaScript libraries. Understanding their differences and strengths will help you make the best choice for your next project.
**Vue.js: The Progressive Framework**
Vue.js, created by Evan You, is a progressive JavaScript framework that's become quite popular. Its main goal is to offer a flexible and adaptable way to build user interfaces. Vue.js is loved for its simplicity and ease of integration, making it a favorite among developers who appreciate a quick learning curve and smooth transitions.
**Key Features of Vue.js:**
Declarative Rendering: Vue.js lets developers declaratively render data to the DOM with simple template syntax.
Component-Based Architecture: Like other modern frameworks, Vue.js uses a component-based structure, promoting reusability and modularity.
Reactive Data Binding: Vue’s reactivity system ensures changes to data automatically reflect in the DOM, reducing manual DOM manipulation.

1,902,649 | Understanding State Management in React: Differences Between Redux, Context API, and Recoil | Managing state is a crucial aspect of building dynamic and responsive web applications. In the React... | 0 | 2024-06-27T13:21:03 | https://raajaryan.tech/understanding-state-management-in-react-differences-between-redux-context-api-and-recoil |
Managing state is a crucial aspect of building dynamic and responsive web applications. In the React ecosystem, several state management solutions are available, each with its own set of features, advantages, and drawbacks. In this blog post, we will delve into three popular state management solutions: Redux, Context API, and Recoil. We'll explore their core concepts, compare their pros and cons, and provide practical examples and best practices for each.
## Introduction to State Management Concepts
Before diving into the specifics of Redux, Context API, and Recoil, let's briefly review the fundamental concepts of state management in React.
### What is State Management?
State management is the practice of handling the state of an application in a predictable and efficient manner. In a React application, the state represents the data that drives the UI. Managing state involves updating the state in response to user interactions or other events and ensuring that the UI re-renders appropriately when the state changes.
### Why is State Management Important?
Effective state management is essential for several reasons:
- **Predictability**: By managing state in a structured way, you can ensure that your application behaves consistently.
- **Maintainability**: A well-organized state management system makes it easier to understand, debug, and extend your application.
- **Performance**: Efficient state management can help minimize unnecessary re-renders, improving the performance of your application.
## Redux: A Predictable State Container
Redux is one of the most widely used state management libraries in the React ecosystem. It is based on the principles of Flux architecture and provides a predictable state container for JavaScript applications.
### Core Concepts
#### Store
The store is a centralized repository that holds the entire state of the application. It is a single source of truth, making it easier to manage and debug the state.
```javascript
import { createStore } from 'redux';
const initialState = {
count: 0
};
const reducer = (state = initialState, action) => {
switch (action.type) {
case 'INCREMENT':
return { ...state, count: state.count + 1 };
case 'DECREMENT':
return { ...state, count: state.count - 1 };
default:
return state;
}
};
const store = createStore(reducer);
```
#### Actions
Actions are plain JavaScript objects that describe what happened. They must have a `type` property, which indicates the type of action being performed.
```javascript
const increment = () => ({ type: 'INCREMENT' });
const decrement = () => ({ type: 'DECREMENT' });
```
#### Reducers
Reducers are pure functions that take the current state and an action as arguments and return a new state. They specify how the application's state changes in response to actions.
```javascript
const reducer = (state = initialState, action) => {
switch (action.type) {
case 'INCREMENT':
return { ...state, count: state.count + 1 };
case 'DECREMENT':
return { ...state, count: state.count - 1 };
default:
return state;
}
};
```
### Pros and Cons of Redux
#### Pros
- **Predictability**: Redux's strict rules and structure make state changes predictable and traceable.
- **Debugging**: Tools like Redux DevTools provide powerful debugging capabilities.
- **Community and Ecosystem**: A large community and rich ecosystem of middleware and extensions.
#### Cons
- **Boilerplate**: Redux can involve a lot of boilerplate code, making it verbose and sometimes cumbersome.
- **Learning Curve**: The concepts of actions, reducers, and the store can be challenging for beginners.
- **Overhead**: For simple applications, Redux might be overkill and add unnecessary complexity.
### Practical Example: Counter App
Let's build a simple counter app using Redux.
```javascript
import React from 'react';
import { createStore } from 'redux';
import { Provider, useDispatch, useSelector } from 'react-redux';
const initialState = { count: 0 };
const reducer = (state = initialState, action) => {
switch (action.type) {
case 'INCREMENT':
return { ...state, count: state.count + 1 };
case 'DECREMENT':
return { ...state, count: state.count - 1 };
default:
return state;
}
};
const store = createStore(reducer);
const Counter = () => {
const dispatch = useDispatch();
const count = useSelector((state) => state.count);
return (
<div>
<h1>{count}</h1>
<button onClick={() => dispatch({ type: 'INCREMENT' })}>Increment</button>
<button onClick={() => dispatch({ type: 'DECREMENT' })}>Decrement</button>
</div>
);
};
const App = () => (
<Provider store={store}>
<Counter />
</Provider>
);
export default App;
```
## Context API: Simplicity and Flexibility
The Context API is a built-in feature of React that provides a way to pass data through the component tree without having to pass props down manually at every level. It is a great choice for simpler state management needs.
### Core Concepts
#### Context
Context provides a way to share values like state across the component tree without explicitly passing props at every level.
```javascript
import React, { createContext, useContext, useState } from 'react';
const CountContext = createContext();
const CounterProvider = ({ children }) => {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
return (
<CountContext.Provider value={{ count, setCount }}>
{children}
</CountContext.Provider>
);
};
const useCount = () => useContext(CountContext);
```
### Pros and Cons of Context API
#### Pros
- **Simplicity**: No need for external libraries, reducing dependencies.
- **Flexibility**: Easy to set up and use for simple state management.
- **Component Composition**: Naturally fits into React’s component model.
#### Cons
- **Performance**: Can lead to unnecessary re-renders if not used carefully.
- **Scalability**: Not ideal for large, complex applications with extensive state management needs.
- **Boilerplate**: While simpler than Redux, can still require a fair amount of boilerplate for larger contexts.
### Practical Example: Counter App
Let's build a simple counter app using the Context API.
```javascript
import React, { createContext, useContext, useState } from 'react';
const CountContext = createContext();
const CounterProvider = ({ children }) => {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
return (
<CountContext.Provider value={{ count, setCount }}>
{children}
</CountContext.Provider>
);
};
const Counter = () => {
const { count, setCount } = useContext(CountContext);
return (
<div>
<h1>{count}</h1>
<button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Increment</button>
<button onClick={() => setCount(count - 1)}>Decrement</button>
</div>
);
};
const App = () => (
<CounterProvider>
<Counter />
</CounterProvider>
);
export default App;
```
## Recoil: Modern and Efficient
Recoil is a relatively new state management library for React developed by Facebook. It aims to provide a more modern and efficient way to manage state in React applications.
### Core Concepts
#### Atoms
Atoms are units of state. They can be read from and written to from any component. Components that read an atom are implicitly subscribed to it, so they will re-render when the atom’s state changes.
```javascript
import { atom } from 'recoil';
const countState = atom({
key: 'countState',
default: 0,
});
```
#### Selectors
Selectors are functions that compute derived state. They can read from atoms and other selectors, allowing you to build a data flow graph.
```javascript
import { selector } from 'recoil';
const doubleCountState = selector({
key: 'doubleCountState',
get: ({ get }) => {
const count = get(countState);
return count * 2;
},
});
```
### Pros and Cons of Recoil
#### Pros
- **Efficiency**: Recoil is highly efficient and minimizes re-renders.
- **Scalability**: Suitable for large applications with complex state management needs.
- **Modern API**: Provides a modern, React-centric API that integrates well with hooks.
#### Cons
- **Ecosystem**: As a newer library, it has a smaller ecosystem compared to Redux.
- **Learning Curve**: Requires understanding of atoms, selectors, and the data flow graph.
### Practical Example: Counter App
Let's build a simple counter app using Recoil.
```javascript
import React from 'react';
import { atom, useRecoilState } from 'recoil';
import { RecoilRoot } from 'recoil';
const countState = atom({
key: 'countState',
default: 0,
});
const Counter = () => {
const [count, setCount] = useRecoilState(countState);
return (
<div>
<h1>{count}</h1>
<button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Increment</button>
<button onClick={() => setCount(count - 1)}>Decrement</button>
</div>
);
};
const App = () => (
<RecoilRoot>
<Counter />
</RecoilRoot>
);
export default App;
```
## Comparison
and Best Practices
### Comparison
| Feature | Redux | Context API | Recoil |
|------------------|------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
| **Complexity** | High (actions, reducers, store) | Low (context, provider) | Medium (atoms, selectors) |
| **Boilerplate** | High | Low to Medium | Low to Medium |
| **Performance** | Good (with middleware) | Can lead to re-renders | Excellent (efficient re-renders) |
| **Scalability** | Excellent (suitable for large apps) | Limited (not ideal for large apps) | Excellent (suitable for large apps) |
| **Learning Curve** | Steep | Gentle | Medium |
| **Ecosystem** | Mature and extensive | Built-in (limited) | Growing (newer library) |
### Best Practices
#### Redux
- **Avoid Mutations**: Ensure reducers are pure functions and avoid direct state mutations.
- **Use Middleware**: Leverage middleware like Redux Thunk or Redux Saga for handling side effects.
- **Modularize Code**: Organize actions, reducers, and selectors into separate modules for better maintainability.
#### Context API
- **Minimize Re-renders**: Use `React.memo` and `useMemo` to optimize performance and prevent unnecessary re-renders.
- **Split Contexts**: For larger applications, consider splitting the context into multiple contexts to avoid passing unnecessary data.
#### Recoil
- **Use Selectors Wisely**: Leverage selectors to compute derived state and avoid redundant calculations.
- **Atom Organization**: Organize atoms into separate modules for better maintainability.
- **Efficient Updates**: Use the `useRecoilCallback` hook for batch updates and complex state manipulations.
## Conclusion
State management is a fundamental aspect of building robust and scalable React applications. Redux, Context API, and Recoil each offer unique features and advantages, making them suitable for different scenarios and application needs. Redux is a powerful and mature solution, ideal for large and complex applications. The Context API provides a simple and built-in solution for smaller projects, while Recoil offers a modern and efficient approach to state management with excellent scalability.

This portrayal has prompted an inescapable misguided judgment that beavers eat wood. In this blog entry, we will unwind this fantasy and investigate the genuine dietary propensities for these enterprising creatures, uncovering what truly fills their bustling lives.
The Fantasy of Wood-Eating Beavers
Seeing a beaver biting on a tree is normal in numerous nature narratives and outlines. This has justifiably prompted the conviction that beavers consume wood as a component of their eating routine. In any case, the fact of the matter is very unique. While beavers are known for their wood-biting way of behaving, their basic role for this action isn't nourishing yet functional.
Why Beavers Bite on Wood
Beavers bite on wood for two principal reasons:
Development Materials: [Beavers are prestigious](urhttps://probloggy.com/l) for their designing abilities. They assemble dams and cabins utilizing branches, logs, and mud to make defensive living spaces and control water levels in their current circumstance. Biting through trees permits them to assemble the important materials for these great designs.
Dental Wellbeing: Like all rodents, beavers have persistently developing incisors. To keep their teeth from turning out to be excessively lengthy, beavers should continually bite on hard materials. This regular conduct helps keep their teeth at an ideal length and sharpness for slicing through trees.
What Do Beavers Really Eat?
In spite of their affinity for biting wood, beavers don't get their sustenance from it. Their eating routine comprises basically of:
Bark and Cambium: The internal bark, or cambium, of trees is a critical food hotspot for beavers, particularly during winter when other food is scant. They lean toward trees like aspen, willow, birch, and maple, which give delicate and nutritious cambium.
Oceanic Plants:[ Beavers are herbivores ](uhttps://probloggy.com/rl)with an affection for sea-going vegetation. They drink the roots, stems, and leaves of water plants like water lilies, cattails, and pondweed. These plants are wealthy in supplements and effectively open in their watery living spaces.
Grasses and Bushes: In the hotter months, beavers grow their eating routine to incorporate different grasses, spices, and bushes tracked down close to their cabins. This assortment guarantees they get a fair admission of supplements consistently.
The Environmental Effect of Beaver Action
Beavers assume a fundamental part in their environments. By building dams and making lakes, they assist with overseeing water assets and make living spaces for various species, including fish, creatures of land and water, birds, and different warm blooded animals. Their scrounging exercises additionally advance new vegetation development, adding to the wellbeing and variety of their surroundings.
End
In outline, beavers don't eat wood. Their biting way of behaving is driven by the requirement for development materials and dental wellbeing. The real eating routine of beavers incorporates bark, cambium, oceanic plants, and different green vegetation. Understanding these dietary propensities assists us with valuing the natural significance of beavers and dissipate normal fantasies about these striking creatures. https://probloggy.com/ | pro_bloggy_5a726d4b6d0d3d | |

### The Challenge: Optimizing Database Performance
Recently, I encountered a significant performance issue with a web application I was working on. The application was experiencing slow response times, especially when handling complex queries. This was affecting the user experience and had to be resolved urgently.
#### Step 1: Identifying the Problem
The first step was to identify the root cause of the slow performance. I used performance monitoring tools to analyze the application’s behavior and pinpointed that the database queries were taking an unusually long time to execute.
#### Step 2: Analyzing the Queries
I extracted the slow queries and analyzed them. It became evident that the queries were not optimized and were fetching more data than necessary. Some queries were also performing full table scans, which further slowed down the performance.
#### Step 3: Optimizing the Queries
To optimize the queries, I:
1. **Indexed Key Columns**: I added indexes to the columns that were frequently used in the WHERE clause. This significantly reduced the query execution time.
2. **Query Refactoring**: I rewrote some of the complex queries to be more efficient. For instance, I replaced nested subqueries with JOIN operations where appropriate.
3. **Pagination**: For queries that fetched large datasets, I implemented pagination to limit the amount of data retrieved at a time.
#### Step 4: Database Configuration
I also reviewed the database configuration settings and made several adjustments:
1. **Increased Cache Size**: I increased the cache size to ensure frequently accessed data was kept in memory, reducing the need for disk I/O.
2. **Connection Pooling**: Implemented connection pooling to manage database connections more efficiently.
#### Step 5: Monitoring and Testing
After making these changes, I monitored the application to ensure the performance issues were resolved. I conducted stress testing to simulate high traffic and confirmed that the response times had improved significantly.

First, perhaps a (very) short list of what I don't want:
* This won't be a general purpose game engine
* This will not even attempt to compete with the wonderful solutions already out there
Now before we get into what we *do* want out of this, let's give it a name:
**MiniJamLab**
* Mini: Miniscript is the primary behavior scripting language
* Jam: Intended rapid development cycles like Game Jams
* Lab: Experimental, handle with care!
## Things that set *MiniJamLab* apart from general purpose game engines
One of the goals, as the name implies, is to increase the development velocity of small games, an as you might have guessed, this can't be done without making some sacrifices. In order to reduce the amount of boilerplate code required to get something running, we need a *higher level of abstraction*. Our game script shouldn't have to worry about opening a window, getting a drawing context, loading image data, decoding the image and writing pixels. But how *high* do we go? Do we attach behaviors to a **Sprite**, a **Button**, a **TileMap**?
This is where the sacrifice comes in: to rather than defining a 100 kinds of nodes you might add to your scene, get the intersection of the ones you need. A **Sprite**, **Button** and **TileMap** all have a few things in common: They are displayed, and may interact with user input. You might say that each of them is an *Actor* in the scene, and a behavior attached may determine if and where it is displayed, and what to do with incoming user input. We could take this further! If we further sacrifice our ability to be "general purpose" and, for example, only allow _Tower Defense_ games, then all we need is a way to configure a **Map**, a number of **Towers** and a number of **Enemies**, which all have enough intersection to be scripted the same way.
In short, in order to determine the "ideal" level of abstraction for behavior scripts, we need to think long and hard about *what kind of games* we want to build with this.
So let's set some goals, MiniJamLab should be able to power at least:
* A platformer. Classic.
* An RPG or Rogue-Like
* A Real-Time or Turn-Based Strategy game
The platformer is the odd duck here - it is the only one that won't work on a tile-based coordinate system, but other than that, there is enough intersection between these games to provide a single Actor type node to the scripting environment. The first demo/sample will also be a platformer, so I can focus on the required features for this first.
Well, that's enough for now - next update I'll go a bit deeper into what Miniscript is, why it's great, and how MiniJamLab will use it.

1,902,593 | Build an AI BPMN Diagram Analyzer using ToolJet 🛠️ | In this tutorial, we'll create a BPMN Diagram Analyzer application using ToolJet. This app allows... | 0 | 2024-06-27T13:12:06 | https://blog.tooljet.com/build-an-ai-bpmn-diagram-analyzer-using-tooljet/ | javascript, webdev, programming, coding | In this tutorial, we'll create a BPMN Diagram Analyzer application using ToolJet. This app allows users to generate detailed explanations of BPMN processes by uploading them in image format. We'll use **ToolJet's** **low-code app-builder** for the user interface and its **query builder** to connect to the Gemini API to generate an in depth analysis of uploaded BPMN processes.
Here's a quick preview of our application:
## Prerequisites
**Gemini API Key** : The Gemini API is an advanced AI service provided by [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey). It enables developers to integrate powerful content generation capabilities into their applications.
**ToolJet**(https://github.com/ToolJet/ToolJet) : An open-source, low-code business application builder. [Sign up](https://www.tooljet.com/signup) for a free ToolJet cloud account or [run ToolJet on your local machine](https://docs.tooljet.com/docs/setup/try-tooljet/) using Docker.
To begin, create a new application named _BPMN Diagram Analyzer_.
---
## Step 1: Adding UI Elements 🖼️
The first step in the app-building process is to utilize ToolJet's customizable pre-built components to build a UI in minutes. We will start with the header.
### App Header
1. For the logo, add an **Icon** component at the top of the canvas and name it `logo`.
2. Choose an appropriate icon (e.g., `IconAnalyzeFilled`) and set its color to `#3e63ddff`.
3. Add a **Text** component next to the Icon component.
4. Set its Data property to "BPMN Diagram Analyzer".
5. Style it with `#3e63ddff` as the color, `24px` as the font size, and font weight as bold.
_We are using blue (hex code: #3e63ddff) as the primary color, style the upcoming components accordingly._
### Input Section
1. Add a **Container** on the left to hold the input elements, and name it `inputContainer`.
2. Inside this container, add a **Text** component as the header, and name it `inputLabel`.
3. Set the Text component's Data property to "Input".
4. Below it, place an **Image** component to display the uploaded BPMN diagram. Name it `imagePreview`.
5. Add a **File Picker** component and name it `fileUploader`.
6. Add a **Button** component labeled "Generate". Name it `generateButton`.
7. Add another **Button** labeled "Copy Output", and name it `copyButton`.
8. Position the buttons appropriately next to the File Picker.
### Output Section
1. Add another **Container** for the output section, and name it `outputContainer`.
2. Add a **Text** component inside this container as the header, and name it `outputLabel`.
3. Set the Text component's Data property to "Output".
4. Add another **Text** component for the generated explanation. Name it `generatedOutput`.
5. Set the data format to HTML since the generated explanation will be formatted in HTML format.
---
## Step 2: Configuring Queries 🔗
With the UI ready, we can now connect to Gemini API and format the image preview using queries.
### Generate Image Preview Query
1. Create a new **Run JavaScript code** query named `generateImagePreview`.
2. Add the code below in the query:
```json
return `data:image;base64,${components.fileUploader.file[0].base64Data}`
```
The above query will restructure the image data and return it. The returned value will be used as a URL to display the image as a preview in the Image component.
### Analyze Diagram Query
1. Create a new **REST API** query named `analyseDiagram`.
2. Set the method to POST and enter the below URL under the URL property:
```json
https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-1.5-pro:generateContent
```
3. Under **Headers**, add a new header and set the key to `Content-Type` and value to `application/json`.
4. Create a new workspace constant named `GEMINI_API_KEY` and add your Gemini API Key to it.
5. Under **Parameters**, add a new row with the key as `key` and value as `{{constants.GEMINI_API_KEY}}`.
6. Configure the Body property of the query using the code below:
```json
{
"contents": [
{
"parts": [
{
"text": "Explain in depth the content and overall of the uploaded BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) diagram in HTML formatting only. Respond with only the explanation, and nothing else. Return the following information, with clear bullet points and headers (under 18 px) for each section: 1. **Title**: The title or main heading of the BPMN diagram. 2. **Description**: A brief description or summary of the BPMN diagram. 3. **Elements**: Explain all the processes identified in the diagram in the correct flow. If there are multiple sequences, explain them individually. 4. **Flows**: Describe the sequence flows, message flows, and associations between elements. 5. **Data Objects**: Identify and describe any data objects present in the diagram. 6. **Swimlanes**: If present, list the swimlanes (e.g., pools, lanes) and their roles or participants. Ensure the returned HTML is well-structured, with appropriate tags for headers, lists, and any other necessary elements for readability and organization."
},
{
"inline_data": {
"mime_type":"image/jpeg",
"data": "{{components.fileUploader.file[0].base64Data}}"
}
}
]
}
]
}
```
This JSON request sends an uploaded BPMN diagram image for analysis, asking for a detailed HTML explanation of its contents, including the title, description, elements, flows, data objects, and swimlanes.
---
## Step 3: Using Events For Dynamic Interaction 🔘
Events in ToolJet allow you to easily create dynamic app interactions based on triggers such as button clicks or query completion.
### Generate Button Click
1. Add a new event to the **Generate** button.
2. Leave the Event as **On click**, select **Run Query** as the Action and Query as `analyseDiagram`.
Now every time the Generate button is clicked, the `analyseDiagram` query will run and the output will be generated.
### Copy Button Click
1. Add an **On click** event on the **Copy Output** button to copy the generated output to the clipboard.
2. Set the action as **Copy to Clipboard** and under the Text property, enter the code below:
```js
{{components.generatedOutput.text}}
```
The above setting will copy the output text from the related component every time we click on the Copy Output button.
### File Picker Load:
1. Add an **On File Loaded** event on the File Picker component to run the generateImagePreview query.
2. This configuration will ensure that the `generateImagePreview` query runs each time a file gets uploaded to the File Picker component.
This configuration will ensure that the generateImagePreview query runs each time a file gets uploaded to the File Picker component.
### Image Preview
1. Under the URL property of the **Image** component, enter the code below:
```js
{{queries.generateImagePreview.data}}
```
Now the Image component will display the BPMN diagram image once it is uploaded using the File Picker.
---
## Step 4: Testing ✅
Time to test all the functionalities.
- Use the **File Picker** to upload an image - a preview should be visible on the Image component.
- Click on the **Generate Button** - the Text component in output should display the explanation of the BPMN diagram in-depth through HTML formatting.
- Click on the **Copy Output Button** - the generated explanation should get copied and you should get a notification saying "Copied to clipboard!"
---
## Conclusion
By following this tutorial, you have successfully created a BPMN Diagram Analyzer using ToolJet. This app allows users to upload BPMN diagrams in image format and receive detailed explanations, enhancing their workflow analysis capabilities. Feel free to expand and customize the app further based on your specific requirements. Happy building!

It so happened that I needed to understand
the Odoo interface, so I decided to keep a
brief description of the Technical menu. M
aybe it will make it easier for someone to
learn Odoo. Please note that this text may
contain errors and inaccuracies.
```
The following is a listing of the Technical menu sections and a brief description of each subsection
---
## Discuss
The "Discuss" section is designed to customize the discussion functionality within Odoo. Here you can configure modules for different types of content, such as forums, chats, etc., as well as manage user access to these features.
#### Sub-menus:
1. **Messages**. This is the main section for sending and managing messages within the system. Users can send messages to each other as well as reply to them. Messages can be attached to different objects in the system, such as tasks, projects or partners.
2. **Scheduled Messages**. Allows you to schedule messages to be sent in the future. This is useful for automatically sending notifications or reminders of upcoming events.
3. **Subtypes**. Message subtypes allow you to categorize and filter messages into different categories. For example, you can have subtypes for task notifications, questions, and suggestions.
4. **Tracking Values**. Used to track changes in discussions and posts. This can be useful for tracking the history of changes or for analyzing trends in discussions.
5. **Activity Types**. Activity types define the different types of actions that can be performed within a discussion. This can include reading a message, marking a message, deleting a message, and so on.
6. **Activities**. Activities display the current actions to be performed in the discussion. This can be useful for team coordination or for tracking the progress of tasks.
7. **Notifications**. Notifications allows you to automatically notify discussion participants of new messages or changes.
8. **Followers**. Allows you to specify users who follow the discussion but are not active participants. They receive notifications of new posts.
9. **Email Blacklist**. Allows you to block sending/receiving messages to specific email addresses.
10. Ratings. Allow discussants to rate posts or ideas.
11. **User Settings**. Allow you to individually configure the user's behavior and preferences in discussions, for example, the level of notifications or visibility of messages. Here you can also add employees or partners of the company to the user list.
12. **Guests**. Guests allow discussion participants who do not have an account in the system to interact with discussions. This can be useful for temporary participants or for open discussions.
13. **RTC Sessions**. Allow users to share video and voice calls within Odoo Discuss. You can start a video or voice call and customize settings such as disabling microphone, camera and screen sharing. During an RTC session, you can share the screen with other participants.
14. **ICE Servers** (Interactive Connectivity Establishment). These servers help establish direct connections between devices without the need to use proxy servers. ICE Servers settings in Odoo are typically provided in the form of URLs or IP addresses of STUN and TURN servers, which are used to break through NAT (Network Address Translation) and enable communication on restricted networks. This is especially useful for the video conferencing and instant messaging functionality provided within the Discuss module.
15. **Message Reactions**. Manage and view the reactions left by users to messages.
16. **Link Previews**. Settings for displaying link previews in posts and discussions.
---
## Email

**Enhanced Care and Early Intervention:** [Top remote patient monitoring software (RPM) platforms](https://www.raftlabs.com/healthcare/resources/apps/best-remote-patient-monitoring-platforms/) allow continuous tracking of vital signs like blood pressure and oxygen saturation. This enables healthcare professionals to quickly identify high-risk patients and address potential health issues, preventing complications and ensuring timely care.
**Improved Chronic Disease Management:** By monitoring chronic care management software, remote patient monitoring aids in managing chronic illnesses. This includes conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. It provides valuable insights into patients’ health for electronic medical records software (EMR) for care teams to adjust treatment plans and medication. This fosters healthier habits and better disease management.
**Increased Independence and Aging in Place:** Remote patient monitoring enables seniors to stay home while receiving necessary care, promoting independence. Continuous health monitoring with chronic care management software provides a sense of security, allowing seniors to maintain their freedom and well-being in familiar surroundings.
### Implementing an RPM System
Implementing an RPM system includes a few key steps to guarantee effective monitoring and patient engagement:
**Initial Patient Assessment**
First, care providers evaluate the patient to decide which health measurements are required for tracking. They look at the patient’s medical history, current health, and treatment goals to customize the RPM system accordingly. This personalized approach ensures that the monitoring plan fits the patient’s healthcare needs and helps them stay involved in the process.
**Monitoring and Data Transmission**
Once the RPM system is ready, patients use gadgets or wearable sensors to check their health stats regularly. These devices automatically send data to RPM software through mobile apps or electronic medical records software.
Continuous monitoring helps health care providers immediately follow changes in vital signs, medicine use, and the severity of symptoms. This proactive approach helps identify high-risk patients, predict problems, and provide early help when needed.
**Examination and Feedback Using Digital Therapeutics**
Data collected from RPM is analyzed using special software called digital therapeutics. This software helps manage ongoing health conditions and improve patient progress and outcomes. Digital therapeutics uses RPM data to create personalized treatment plans, make changes as needed, and provide educational resources to patients.
Healthcare providers use insights from RPM analytics to give timely feedback. They can also adjust treatment plans and empower patients to take an active role in managing their health.
### The Role of AI in Enhancing RPM
The integration of AI in RPM propels healthcare towards a data-driven model. By analyzing RPM data, healthcare organizations can identify trends, inefficiencies, and improvement opportunities. This continuous improvement cycle fosters a culture of innovation and evidence-based decision-making in healthcare.
### Actionable Steps for Healthcare Executives
To leverage the potential of AI in RPM, healthcare executives are encouraged to:
* **Invest in Advanced AI Technologies:** Equip your remote patient monitoring systems with the latest AI tools for enhanced predictive analytics and personalization.
* **Enhance Data Analytics Capabilities**: Develop frameworks to derive actionable insights from RPM data.
* **Prioritize Operational Efficiency:** Automate monitoring tasks to reallocate resources to high-need areas effectively.
* **Expand Access Through Scalability:** Use AI to extend healthcare services to underserved populations.
* **Foster Continuous Improvement:** Embrace a data-driven culture that leverages insights for service enhancement.

1,902,020 | Processos de código - Extreme Programming | Depois do fracasso considerável de vários projetos no método Waterfall, várias propostas de... | 0 | 2024-06-27T13:03:18 | https://dev.to/loremimpsu/processos-de-codigo-extreme-programming-4jm4 | 100daysofcode, softwareengineering, softwaredevelopment, braziliandevs |
Depois do fracasso considerável de vários projetos no método Waterfall, várias propostas de metodologias ágeis surgiram, de todas, as três mais conhecidas são Scrum, Kanban e o Extreme Programming (XP para os íntimos).
A proposta do XP consiste em ser um método de desenvolvimento leve em projetos que tem por natureza serem mutáveis e com requisitos duvidosos. Como um dos métodos ágeis, o Xp trabalhará com ciclos de desenvolvimento curtos e com requisitos incrementais, ou seja, tudo pode ser adicionado, incrementado ou substituído de um ciclo para outro. Dada a natureza dos projetos, é necessário que ele seja falível também, adicionando a carga de correção de desenvolvimento dentro de cada ciclo.
O XP é um método abstrato, pode ser adequado a necessidade da equipe, porém possui um conjunto de diretrizes que são divididas em *valores, princípios e práticas*.
##Valores
Dentre todos os valores que o XP traz, 3 se destacam: Comunicação, simplicidade e feedback. Comunicação para se passar adiante aprendizagens entre a equipe, aprender com seus erros e tratar qualquer dúvida de desenvolvimento entre si.
A simplicidade é um meio de enxergar as coisas, para todo sistema complexo existe pequenos subsistemas que são simples. A ideia do XP é sempre desmembrar o problemão em probleminhas que serão resolvidos pela equipe.
O feedback vêm como o controle de danos. Existem riscos em qualquer sistema, porém o risco sempre será maior se não soubermos que ele existe. A ideia do Extreme Programming é incentivar o feedback, seja com erros ou acertos, para que o quanto antes souber do que precisa ser mudado e/ou mantido, melhor seja a decisão e resolução da equipe.
Existem outros valores como qualidade de vida (isso existe pra desenvolvedor?), coragem e respeito, mas são autoexplicativos. Sejam fortes e corajosos como a Ju no BBB, galera!
##Princípios
Os princípios do XP são a força que une os valores e as práticas. Muitos engenheiros descrevem como a ponte que liga de lado a lado um rio perigoso que são os requisitos de cliente.
Dentre todos os princípios, o principio inicial é humanidade. Querendo ou não, desenvolvedores são humanos. Quando falamos de humanidade para o XP, não estamos falando sobre a necessidade de um recursos humanos dentro do time, mas sobre a necessidade de gestão de pessoas, responsabilidades, transparência, evolução de carreira e motivação. Nada pior que um time que sofre com problemas de valorização do capital humano, o famoso *peopleware*. É necessário que o time esteja bem, afinal, quem cria software ainda são os humanos. Ainda.
Depois desse papo meloso, vem a realidade, o principio de economicidade é a parte relacionada a custos de um projeto. O desenvolvimento de um software é caro, os gastos com a equipe, o ferramental, alocação de dados e infra estrutura. Tudo isso tem que estar sendo levado em consideração ao gerir um projeto em XP.
Juntando esses dois fatos, temos a necessidade de um benefício mútuo que agregue o esforço de ter um gasto legal, levando em conta que o pessoal esteja bem. Ou seja, se o seu pessoal tá feliz, vão produzir melhor e consequentemente o produto será melhor. O melhor dos dois mundos.
Mas caso esse benefício mútuo não esteja sendo mantido? Algum problema de gerenciamento, programador ganhando somente um carro popular de salário, ou o cliente esfumando porque o landing page tá feio. Nada disso é problema, pois o XP tem o princípio de melhora contínua. A cada ciclo é necessário utilizar do feedback de ambas as parte do projeto para a melhor resposta a esses problemas nos ciclos futuros.
Para que exista a resposta a problemas, precisa haver o entendimento de que falhas existem, existiram e existirão em um projeto ágil. Não é necessário culpar a parte que falhou, seja o cliente ou desenvolvedor, mas aceitar que há um erro e tratá-lo sem machucar nenhuma parte.
Melhorias precisam acontecer, sejam elas correções de erros ou adições de novidades ao escopo, toda melhoria é uma melhoria. O princípio de baby steps traz a ideia de que para ser mais efetiva a melhoria, que sejam pequenas melhorias em pouco espaço de tempo, e que não comprometa a saúde do projeto. Sem grandes revoluções no produto, caso haja a necessidade de alteração ou adição de algo, que seja aos poucos e mantendo o equilíbrio.
Por fim, o último principio é o de responsabilidade pessoal. Cada desenvolvedor tem que estar ciente das suas responsabilidades com o time, o projeto e o seu desenvolvimento. É um conceito simples mas com toda a certeza tem gente que peca (e muito) neste princípio.
##Práticas
Agora, depois de tanta filosofia, entramos no campo da prática. Aqui que o bicho pega e a mãe não vê (Desculpem, não lembro os ditados). Dentro das práticas temos 3 divisões, práticas sobre o processo, práticas de programação e práticas de gerenciamento.
A prática sobre o processo de desenvolvimento é como se dará o dia-a-dia da equipe em processo de desenvolvimento. Começando pelo início do projeto, todo o desenvolvimento precisa de um escopo de produto ao qual o time irá produzir, para isso é necessário a utilização da figura do cliente presente para apresentar as necessidades daquele produto. O cara que vai entregar para os desenvolvedores uma parada chamada histórias de usuários, ou comumente conhecidas como *usecases*.
As *usecases* nada mais são que documentos resumidos com um parágrafo de duas ou três frases que apresentem ao desenvolvedor a funcionalidade da maneira que o usuário vê. Vamos a um exemplo de um aplicativo de sinastria astral:
- *Um usuário, quando logado no meu aplicativo tem que ser capaz de calcular o mapa astral através da data de nascimento e local de nascimento*
- *Um usuário, quando logado, deve ver se o mapa astral calculado é compatível com o seu mapa astral. Caso seja, mostrar publicidade de aliança de casamento, caso não seja, mostrar publicidade de apps de namoro*
Após definido o usecase, haverá um momento de reunião com o time que transformará usecases em tarefas técnicas e levará em consideração a complexidade de desenvolvimento. Para quantificar a complexidade de desenvolvimento, é utilizado pontos, que os valores variam na faixa da sequência de Fibonacci (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13...). Esses pontos são chamados de Story points, o valor 1 é o mínimo esforço e o máximo esforço só Deus sabe quando parar de contar. Normalmente esses valores servem para delimitar como a equipe vai trabalhar. Desenvolvedores juniores começam pegando pontos 1, 2 ou 3, enquanto plenos e seniores pegam valores 5, 8 e 13. Nada impede que um júnior pegue uma tarefa de 13 pontos mas vai ser por conta e risco. Confie sempre no seu potencial.
O desempenho de uma equipe vai ser levado em conta a quantidade de pontos executados por ciclo. Não há um valor x ou y que demostre que uma equipe é boa ou ruim, mas o histórico daquela equipe conta como aprendizagem. Por exemplo, se em vários ciclos o valor de story points fica entre 30 ou 40 pontos, um ciclo que somente 20 pontos foram entregues liga um pisca alerta na cabeça do gestor de que algo de errado não está certo. Se a equipe começa a entregar 50 pontos, por outro lado, pode mostrar que há uma evolução entre os desenvolvedores. Bom, é um problema para gestores, eu sou uma mera desenvolvedora. Não sei muito o que fazer com esses valores.
Enquanto ao tempo de cada ciclo, há uma sugestão de tempo e de processo que o Extreme programming irá utilizar, abaixo uma imagem com faixas de tempos de cada ciclo, a nomenclatura e um exemplo de atividade realizada. Importante saber que a cada final de ciclo, há a necessidade de receber feedback.
Finalizamos a parte ritualística da coisa e adentramos a prática de programação. O nome extreme programming se dá pela oferta de uma programação melhorada ao extremo para os seus desenvolvedores. Se você acha que toda aquela parte de definição de usecases e story points foram um lenga lenga sem fim, o método waterfall era muito mais burocrático, com definições infinitas de requisitos de usuários, laudas e laudas de documentos com definições e exigências dos clientes, divisões de trabalhos infinitas... um inferno. A parte boa do negócio ficava para o final. O desenvolvimento ficava meio apagado dentro de toda essa história.
O XP vem com a ideia de que devemos começar a desenvolver dentro do projeto o quanto antes. Se tivermos somente a definição do que vai ser apresentado em uma tela, iremos desenvolver aquela tela o mais rápido possível e utilizando métodos para aquele desenvolvimento seja conciso. A frase de comando é *faça a coisa mais simples que possa funcionar*. É claro que todo o produto não será apenas aquela coisinha desenvolvida com o mínimo de requisito do cliente, mas tudo o que vem depois será adicionado, então o desenvolvimento de todo o produto tem que ter um design incremental. Que ele seja capaz de receber sempre mais requisitos (e que seja capaz de remover também).
Outro conceito de programação que foi adotado no XP foi o conceito *pair programming*, que consiste em desenvolver uma funcionalidade ou tarefa técnica por dois desenvolvedores. Um desenvolvedor principal, o *driver* e um desenvolvedor auxiliar, chamado de navegador. O conceito é tirado das provas automobilísticas antigas que pilotos menos experientes possuíam um ajudante com um mapa apontando para ele os caminhos do percurso. Essa técnica é perfeita para o auxílio ao aprendizado de um desenvolvedor novato ou que esteja enfrentando problemas dentro do desenvolvimento de algo do projeto.
Além desse conceitos, há também especificações de qualidade como: Testes automáticos, Desenvolvimento dirigido por testes (o famoso TDD) e as práticas de controles de versão.
As práticas de desenvolvimento, como os outros pontos do XP vai depender muito do escopo do projeto, já as práticas de gerenciamento não vão ter várias mudanças de projeto em projeto.
Começamos com as especificações do ambiente de trabalho, o Extreme programming indica que todo time seja pequeno, com menos de 10 desenvolvedores e que todos eles estejam dedicados a um mesmo projeto. Outro ponto é que se evite a utilização de longas jornadas de trabalho. Caso exista a necessidade, que as horas sejam repostas em outro momento para descanso. Sempre pondo em cheque a necessidade de cuidado com a humanidade do projeto. Se os desenvolvedores não vão bem, com certeza o projeto também não irá.
A necessidade de desenvolver em XP vai variar de cada projeto, de cada time e até de cada cliente. Caso seja necessário, o XP vai se adaptar as demandas e a rotina dos seus desenvolvedores. Mesmo sendo um dos métodos menos burocráticos, ainda existe um certo nível de maturidade para aplicar. Abrir mão de certas definições, iniciar o desenvolvimento rapidamente, trabalhar com um escopo aberto sempre serão pontos de atenção em qualquer projeto.

## What you will learn from this article?
* Basic understanding of APIs, their key concepts, and their importance in your development cycle.
* Types of APIs and their fundamentals.
* Best practices in API development
* Tools or platforms where you can experiment with APIs.
## Introduction
APIs are one of the foundational components of modern development. They enable seamless interaction between applications and data. Instead of manually providing communication between applications and data, using APIs makes this interaction accessible and efficient for developers.
Whether you are building a web application, a mobile application, or integrating a service, APIs are crucial in allowing different components in your application to connect with your data seamlessly.
## What is an API?
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a framework that consists of a series of commands, functions, and protocols that enable interaction between different applications. Its primary purpose is to define methods and data structures developers could use to interact with their software components.
Think of API as a waiter in a restaurant; you tell the waiter (API) what you want, and they bring it to the kitchen (server) and then deliver your food (data) back to you. That is precisely how it works!
APIs serve as links that take requests from applications, fetch the necessary data from a server, and then return the processed data to the application.
## Types of APIs
There are different types of APIs tailored for various use cases and purposes. Understanding types of APIs helps developers choose the correct API for their specific needs. Here are the most common types of APIs:
* **Public or Open APIs**: These are made publicly available to any developer with little or no restrictions, enabling developers to access a service's data and functionalities.
A good example of a place where you can get a public API is the [Some Random API platform](https://some-random-api.ml/). You will find a lot of API endpoints you can use freely in that service.
* **Internal or Private APIs**: Their primary intent is team collaboration. They are usually not open to external developers and are used to integrate systems and services within a team or an organization. They are restricted to developers granted access to work with the API.
APIs are made private for many reasons. Some are made private to secure sensitive data, accelerate development for business reasons, or enhance internal workflows. If you're working on a large-scale application, it's best to protect your API by privatizing it.
* **Partner APIs**: This is an example of a private API; they are not open to the public. However, they are specifically designed for external partners to use. Access is typically granted through a contractual agreement, allowing partners to integrate and access certain functionalities or data.
Now that you know the major types of APIs, it's best to understand how and where they can be applied. Different types of APIs serve various purposes and are best suited for some specific projects.
## REST APIs
**REST** (Representational State Transfer) or **RESTful** APIs are rules for building and interacting with web applications. They rely on standard HTTP methods and protocols to enable communication between clients and servers.
REST APIs are designed to be simple, scalable, and stateless, making them popular for web and mobile applications. Unlike a typical API, RESTful APIs are not a protocol; instead, they leverage them for interaction.
The server responds with the requested data when the client asks for it. That's how easy it is!
## Principles of REST APIs
Some architectural principles guide RESTful APIs; their unique architecture makes up everything, ensuring they remain efficient and easy to use. Here are some of REST APIs' unique principles:
* **Statelessness**: Every request from a client to a server must contain all the necessary information to understand and process the request. The server does not store any session state about the client.
This helps to simplify the server's architecture, as it doesn't need to manage and store session information, making the application more scalable. It also helps to give accurate information.
* **Client-Server Architecture**: In a REST API, the client and server are separate components that interact through requests and responses. The client handles the user interface and user experience, while the server manages data storage.
* **Uniform Interface**: REST APIs follow a consistent way of getting access to resources. This includes using HTTP methods like `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, and `DELETE` to URIs (Uniform Resource Identifier) to access and manipulate resources. This makes REST APIs easier to understand and accessible, as developers can rely on the patterns they are familiar with.
* **Cacheability**: This is one of the principles of RESTful APIs that most developers enjoy. With REST APIs, responses from the server are labeled as cacheable or non-cacheable. Caching can reduce the number of client-server interactions and improve performance.
This increases efficiency by reducing unnecessary network calls, decreasing latency, and improving overall performance.
RESTful APIs have a great structure, commonly used in the modern-day development cycle. Its major features are its principles, which make REST APIs what they are.

## SOAP APIs
**SOAP** (Simple Object Access Protocol) API is a protocol for exchanging structured information in web applications. Unlike REST, which uses simple HTTP methods, SOAP leverages XML for its message format and follows a more complex structure.
SOAP APIs are strictly used for web applications and have built-in commands to ensure the security of messages, making them suitable for applications with tight security.
### Differences between REST and SOAP
There are clear differences between **REST** and **SOAP**, as noticed in the definition above. While both are used for the web, they still differ in architecture, standards, etc. Here are some of its differences:
* **Protocol VS Architectural Style**:
* **SOAP**: A protocol with standards and rules.
* **REST**: An architectural style that uses standard HTTP methods and protocols for interaction between web applications and data.
* **Message Format**:
* **SOAP**: Uses XML for message formatting.
* **REST**: Uses JSON but can also use XML, HTML, or plain text for message formatting.
* **Complexity**:
* **SOAP**: It's more complex due to its standards and XML messaging.
* **REST**: Simpler and more flexible, easier to implement.
* **Transport**:
* **SOAP**: Can use various protocols (HTTP, SMTP, etc.).
* **REST**: Typically uses HTTPS for communication.
By understanding the differences between this protocol and architectural style, developers can choose the appropriate protocol based on the needs of their specific applications.
## JSON and XML
**JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)** and **XML (eXtensible Markup Language)** are standard API communication data formats. These formats serve the same primary purpose: to encode data structures between a server and a client so that both can understand.
### JSON
**JSON** is a lightweight data-interchange format derived from JavaScript. It is easy for humans to read and write and for machines to parse and generate.
### XML
**XML** is a markup language that defines the structure for encoding documents in a format readable to humans and machines. XML is mainly known for its ability to handle complex data structures.
### Differences between JSON and XML
* **Readability**:
* **JSON**: Syntax is more readable, ideal for quick interaction, and more accessible for developers.
* **XML**: Comes with a more complex syntax. Best tailored for representing complex data structures and documents.
* **Size**:
* **JSON**: More compact and lightweight. Results in faster data transmission and less bandwidth usage.
* **XML**: Larger due to extensive use of markdown tags.
* **Data Types**:
* **JSON**: Supports data types such as strings, numbers, arrays, and objects.
* **XML**: All data is written in text, requiring parsing for specific data types.
* **Parsing and Performance**:
* **JSON**: Faster to parse, especially in JavaScript environments, due to compatibility.
* **XML**: Slower to parse and process, requiring more resources.
* **Schema Support**:
* **JSON**: JSON schema is available but not as extensive as XML schema.
* **XML**: XML schema is very powerful for verifying document structure and data types.
You can use whichever data formats you want for communication when working with APIs. It's best to know its differences, as there is no 'perfect' data format to use in API development. You can select any of them tailored to your needs.
### When to use
There are cases where you can use JSON as your data format, as well as cases where you can use XML. Knowing when and where to use them is very important.
You can use **JSON** when:
* You need a lightweight data format.
* Working with web APIs, especially in JavaScript environments.
* Simplicity and readability are essential.
* You are dealing with simpler data structures and need to reduce bandwidth usage.
You can use **XML** when:
* You want to handle complex data structures.
* Validation of the data format and structure is needed.
* Working with applications that require extensive metadata and descriptive data.
* Data interchange needs to be highly extensible and self-descriptive.
By understanding the strengths and cases when you can use both JSON and XML, developers can decide which data format to use based on the needs of their applications.
## API Endpoints
At this point in this article, you may be wondering what API endpoints are because you might have come across the term "API endpoints" a few times in this article.
An **API endpoint** is a URL at which a client can access an API to perform actions like retrieving, updating, or deleting data. Endpoints represent the functions and services provided by an API.
The endpoint lets API interact with the application you are working on, enabling communication and exchange of information. They are accessed with HTTP methods such as `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, and `DELETE`, which define the type of operation that will be performed.
### Example of an API Endpoint
Let's consider an example of a REST API for managing student information in a web application. The base URL for the API could be [`https://api.example.com`](https://api.example.com). Now, let's take a look at other endpoints and responses.
* **Retrieve a list of students**:
* **Endpoint**: [https://api.example.com/students](https://api.example.com/students)
* **HTTP method**: GET
* **Purpose**: To retrieve a list of all registered students in the system.
* **Request**:
```bash
GET https://api.example.com/students
```
Here is the response you get:
```json
[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Opemipo Disu",
"email": "opemipo.disu@school.com"
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "Ralf Endrick",
"email": "ralf.endrick@school.com"
}
]
```
In this example, we used the GET method to retrieve information from the system. After that, it gives us the data we requested from the endpoint in JSON format.
Another example could be an endpoint for registering students in the system. Let's create that and see its response.
* **Add a new student**:
* **Endpoint**: [https://api.example.com/students](https://api.example.com/students)
* **HTTP Method**: POST
* **Purpose**: Adding a new student to the management system.
* **Request**:
```json
POST https://api.example.com/students
Content-Type: application/json
{
"name": "Opemipo Disu",
"email": "opemipo.disu@student.com"
}
```
**Response**:
```json
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Opemipo Disu",
"email": "opemipo.disu@student.com"
}
```
In this case, you will notice we are working with the [https://api.example.com/students](https://api.example.com/students) endpoint, basically because we want to add a new student to the system; the only way the users could be accessed is by using that endpoint because it should have information related to the student in it.
Now, let's think of deleting a specific student's information. Here's how we could go about that:
- **Deleting a Student's information**
- **Endpoint**: [**https://api.example.com/students/{id}**](https://api.example.com/students/%7Bid%7D)
- **HTTP method**: DELETE
- **Purpose**: To delete a student by their ID.
- **Request**:
```
DELETE https://api.example.com/students/1
```
**Response**:
```
{
"message": "Student deleted successfully."
}
```
When you want to delete a student's information using an API, addressing the specific data by its ID in the API endpoint ensures that you target the correct record.
By understanding how endpoints work and seeing some examples, developers can also use APIs to interact with web applications and perform various operations.
## **HTTP methods**
HTTP methods define the action performed on resources identified by the API endpoints. We have almost 40 registered HTTP methods, but here are the four most common ones:
- GET
- POST
- PUT
- DELETE
Now, we will go into what these methods are used for and provide an example for each of the four most commonly used HTTP methods.
### **GET**
The **GET** method retrieves data from the server without making any changes to the server data.
An example of how it works was showcased earlier in the endpoint for retrieving students' information.
An example, once again:
**Request**:
```
GET https://api.example.com/students
```
**Response**:
```
[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Opemipo Disu",
"email": "opemipo.disu@school.com"
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "Ralf Endrick",
"email": "ralf.endrick@school.com"
}
]
```
As seen above, the GET method was used to retrieve the data shown in JSON format from the endpoint.
### **POST**
The **POST** method sends data to the server to create a new resource. Unlike GET, which is used to retrieve data, POST submits data to the server. GET is dependent on the data sent to the server by POST.
An example of how the POST method could be used was explained earlier. The student's registration example was a precise instance where the POST method could be used.
If you missed it, please take a look at it again.
**Request**:
```
POST https://api.example.com/students
Content-Type: application/json
{
"name": "Opemipo Disu",
"email": "opemipo.disu@student.com"
}
```
We sent a request using the POST method. This was used because we wanted to add a student's information to the server.
Here's the response we get by doing that:
```
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Opemipo Disu",
"email": "opemipo.disu@student.com"
}
```
In the response above, the POST method automatically helped to create and register the new student. That is just how the POST method works.
### **PUT**
This method is used to update existing resources with new data or create a new resource if it doesn’t exist. It replaces the current information of the resource with the data provided in the request.
Let's take an example of updating a student's information using the PUT method.
**Request**:
```
PUT https://api.example.com/students/1
Content-Type: application/json
{
"name": "Opemipo Hay",
"email": "opemipo.hay@student.com"
}
```
**Response**:
```
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Opemipo Hay",
"email": "opemipo.hay@student.com"
}
```
In this case, we had to locate the information we wanted to update using its ID. We used the PUT method and added the data we wanted to update.
### **DELETE**
This method is used to delete existing resources. When a DELETE request is made, the server deletes the resource the URI identifies.
For this, we will take an example of deleting a student's information by its ID.
**Request**:
```
DELETE https://api.example.com/students/1
```
**Response**:
```
{
"message": "Student's information deleted successfully"
}
```
In the request, we used the DELETE method to delete the user's information using their ID. After, we got a response saying, "Student's information deleted successfully."
## **HTTP Status Codes**
HTTP status codes are responses returned by servers to indicate the result of the client's request. They play a vital role in API communication by displaying the outcome of the client's request to the server.
Here are some common out of many HTTP status codes:
- 200
- 400
- 500
### **200 (OK)**
When you get this response, the request is successful, and the server returns the requested data.
An example of where you can get this response is when there's a successful GET request to retrieve data. This indicates in the **network** tab of your **developer console** that the operation was successful and that the server processed the request as expected.
### **400 (Not Found)**
You get this response when the server cannot find the requested resource or data. This could be because data wasn't fetched correctly or because the resource doesn’t exist.
An example of where you can get this error is when you use a `GET` request for a user that does not exist. Let's have a quick look at that:
**Request**:
```
GET https://api.example.com/users/583
```
**Response**:
```
{
"status": 404,
"message": "Resource not found"
}
```
The response gave an error because there was no resource in the presumed endpoint.
### 500 (Internal Server Error)
When you get this response, the server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.
You could get this response when a server-side error occurred while processing the request.
**Request**:
```json
POST https://api.example.com/students
Content-Type: application/json
{
"name": "Opemipo",
"email": "opemipo.disu@example.com"
}
```
**Response**:
```json
{
"status": 500,
"message": "Internal server error"
}
```
A **500 Internal Server Error** indicates a general server-side error. It shows that something went wrong on the server, not necessarily due to the client's request.
While there are a few other HTTP status codes, [you can read this article to learn more about them](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/10-most-common-http-status-codes/). The ones available in this article are the most common status codes.
## **Authentication and Authorization**
While API security is essential, authentication and authorization are critical components of API security. Authentication in API development is the process of verifying the identity of a user or an application, typically through techniques like API keys, OAuth tokens, or user credentials.
Authorization, on the other hand, determines what resources or operations the authenticated entity is allowed to access.
These processes ensure only valid users or applications can access the API and perform actions based on their permissions.
### Basic Concepts of API Keys and OAuth
An **API key** is a unique identifier used to authenticate requests associated with a project or application.
API keys are included in the API requests to identify the calling project or application. They are typically used to track and control how the API is being used. API keys should be kept secure and not exposed in code to prevent unauthorized access.
However, they are not secure and should be used with other security measures, such as environmental variables.
On the other hand, **OAuth** (Open Authorization) is a token-based authentication framework that allows third-party applications to access user data without exposing user credentials.
It is widely used by platforms like Google and GitHub to grant limited access to user data. It involves a flow where the user authorizes the application, and the application receives an access token that can be used to make authorized API requests. It provides a more flexible and secure method compared to API keys.
### Importance for API Security
* **Prevention of Unauthorized Access**: Authentication ensures that only users and applications can access the API, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive data.
* **Rate Limiting**: Authentication helps track APIs' usage, enabling the implementation of rate limits to prevent data misuse.
* **Monitoring**: Authentication allows for detailed logging and monitoring of API usage, which can be crucial for identifying errors.
## Rate Limiting and Throttling
APIs use rate limiting to keep things stable and safe. This means they limit how many requests a user or application can make in a certain amount of time. This helps prevent servers from getting overloaded.
It also ensures that all users in an application get an equal distribution of the API's resources.
To manage rate limits, applications should gradually increase the wait time between retries if a limit is reached. Monitor your API usage to stay within these limits. If you store frequently used data, you can reduce the number of requests you make.
Using page numbers and filters can help you manage large data sets more quickly, reducing the load on the API.
## **Testing APIs**
Testing APIs is essential in the API development process, ensuring that your application communicates correctly with the server and handles data as expected. Dedicated tools allow you to make API requests, check and analyze responses, and log issues early in the development cycle.
Let's explore some of the best tools for testing APIs and provide an essential guide on effectively testing an API using these tools.
### API testing tools
* [**Postman**](https://www.postman.com/)**:** Postman is a tool that simplifies API development. It allows you to construct and send requests, organize APIs into collections, automate tests, and generate detailed reports.
Ideal for both manual and automated testing, Postman supports various HTTP methods, making it flexible for testing.
* [cURL](https://curl.se/)**:** This command-line technique enables data transfer with URLs.
cURL is used mainly because of its accessibility and flexibility, especially for developers comfortable with the command line.
* [**Swagger**](https://swagger.io/)**:** Swagger provides a suite of tools for API documentation and testing. It allows you to visualize and interact with the API's resources without manually creating requests.
### **Guide on how to Test an API**
1. **Define the Endpoint and Method**
- Determine the API endpoint you wish to test and the HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to use.
- Example: To fetch user data, you might use:
```
GET https://api.example.com/users
```
2. **Set Up the Request**
- **Postman**: Open Postman, create a new request, enter the endpoint URL, and select the HTTP method. Add necessary headers like API keys and parameters.
For a GET request to retrieve users, just set the URL to [**`https://api.example.com/users`**](https://api.example.com/users) and include any required headers or parameters.
3. **Send the Request**
- Click "**Send**" in Postman to execute the request and observe the response.
4. **Analyze the Response**
- **Status Code**: Indicates the success or failure of the request (e.g., 200 OK, 404 Not Found).
- **Headers**: Provide metadata about the response.
- **Body**: Contains the data returned by the API, typically in JSON or XML format.
- **Example**: A successful GET request might return a status code 200 and a JSON body with user data.
5. **Handle Errors**
- If the request fails, analyze the status code and error message to diagnose the issue.
- **Example**: A **404 status code** indicates that the endpoint is incorrect or the resource does not exist.
- Adjust the request accordingly and retry.
6. **Automate Testing**
- Postman supports scripting to automate tests. You can write pre-request scripts to set conditions and test scripts to validate responses.
- **Example**: To verify a successful response, add the following script in Postman's "Tests" tab:
```
pm.test("Status code is 200", function () {
pm.response.to.have.status(200);
});
```
By utilizing tools like Postman, cURL, and Swagger, you can streamline the process of testing APIs, ensuring your application interacts with external services reliably and efficiently.
## **Conclusion**
Understanding APIs is essential for any developer who is just starting. They are a major component of modern development, enabling seamless communication and data exchange between applications.
This article has covered the fundamental concepts of APIs, including their types, key principles of REST and SOAP APIs, data formats like JSON and XML, and the importance of API endpoints and HTTP methods.
Additionally, we explored aspects of API security through authentication and authorization, as well as the importance of rate limiting and throttling.

**Introduction**
In the dynamic world of frontend development, choosing the right technology can be a game-changer. Today, we'll dive into a comparison between two popular frontend technologies: React and Svelte. We'll explore their differences, strengths, and why one might choose one over the other.
**What is React?**
React, developed by Facebook, is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It's component-based, meaning UI is divided into reusable pieces. React has gained massive popularity due to its efficiency and the extensive ecosystem that surrounds it.
Key Features of React:
1. **Virtual DOM**: React uses a virtual DOM to optimize updates, making it fast and efficient.
2. **Component-Based Architecture**: It promotes reusability and maintainability of code.
3. **Strong Community and Ecosystem**: A vast array of libraries, tools, and resources are available.
4. **One-Way Data Binding**: This ensures better control over the data flow, leading to more predictable behavior.
**What is Svelte?**
Svelte is a relatively newer player in the frontend world. Created by Rich Harris, Svelte shifts much of the work to compile time, producing highly efficient and minimal JavaScript code. Unlike React, Svelte does not use a virtual DOM.
#### Key Features of Svelte:
1. **Compile-Time Optimization**: Svelte compiles your code to highly efficient JavaScript at build time.
2. **No Virtual DOM**: Direct manipulation of the DOM leads to faster performance.
3. **Reactivity**: Svelte's reactivity is built into the language, making it simpler to manage state.
4. **Smaller Bundle Size**: Svelte applications generally have smaller bundle sizes, improving load times.
**Comparing React and Svelte**
1. **Performance**: Svelte often outperforms React due to its compile-time optimization and lack of virtual DOM. For highly interactive applications, Svelte can be more efficient.
2. **Ease of Learning**: React has a steeper learning curve, especially with its concepts like hooks and JSX. Svelte, on the other hand, feels more like plain JavaScript and HTML, making it easier for beginners to grasp.
3. **Community and Ecosystem**: React has a mature and extensive ecosystem, with abundant resources and third-party libraries. Svelte's community is growing, but it's not as extensive as React's.
4. **Development Experience**: React’s component-based architecture is robust and promotes reusability. Svelte’s approach, with less boilerplate code and built-in reactivity, often leads to a more pleasant development experience.

1,902,577 | Programmatically add a new 'Accepted file extension' | In the first post in the series around creating Umbraco Stuff programmatically is actually something... | 0 | 2024-06-27T12:55:30 | https://dev.to/jamietownsend/programmatically-add-a-new-accepted-file-extension-58h7 | umbraco | In the first post in the series around creating Umbraco `Stuff` programmatically is actually something that reminded me to start sharing my journey, and that is I needed to allow editors to upload '.mov' files and for these to be set as a **Video** media type.
OTB Umbraco has three extensions which dictate that the file is a **Video** and these are the following:
1. mp4
2. webm
3. ogv
So how do I programmatically add to this list? Let's start by looking at the configuration of this data type. If you get the ID of this data type by looking on the info section.
## Gather information
The ID for this data type is -100 so let's look at the database
```
select * from umbracoDataType where nodeId = -100
```
We can see the configuration value by default as below, which matches the screen in Umbraco.
```
{
"fileExtensions": [
{
"id": 0,
"value": "mp4"
},
{
"id": 1,
"value": "webm"
},
{
"id": 2,
"value": "ogv"
}
]
}
```
Now there is a level of risk with this, as this is an Umbraco property they could in theory release an update which modifies this configuration value so we'll need to keep an eye on any upgrades we do to ensure our changes are persisted, if you know of a safer way to do this, do let me know in the comments.
Ok, so we know what the data looks like, how do we add our new 'mov' extension.
## Create the configuration and add our new extension.
After a bit of digging, I found the configuration class `FileUploadConfiguration` (https://apidocs.umbraco.com/v13/csharp/api/Umbraco.Cms.Core.PropertyEditors.FileUploadConfiguration.html)
So let's create a new instance and add the extensions we want.
```
var videoUploadFieldConfig = new FileUploadConfiguration()
{
FileExtensions =
[
new FileExtensionConfigItem
{
Id = 0,
Value = "mp4"
},
new FileExtensionConfigItem
{
Id = 1,
Value = "webm"
},
new FileExtensionConfigItem
{
Id = 2,
Value = "ogv"
},
new FileExtensionConfigItem
{
Id = 3,
Value = "mov"
}
]
};
```
## Save our new configuration to the database
As we are editing a Data Type you first need to inject `IDataTypeService`.
Umbraco handles configurations of data types by accepting `object?` because each data type can potentially have a different configuration type. So we can simply save using the `videoUploadFieldConfig` as the configuration value, as so.
```
var dataType = _dataTypeService.GetDataType(name);
if (dataType == null)
throw new Exception("Data Type not found");
dataType.Configuration = videoUploadFieldConfig;
_dataTypeService.Save(dataType);
```
Wala!
## Existing media
Sadly the above will only assign any newly uploaded '.mov' files as a **Video** type, any existing files will need to be either uploaded again or manually updated.
Let me know if you want a post about doing this programmatically :)

#### Creating a Simple Pipeline
1. **Create a New Pipeline Job**: From the Jenkins dashboard, click "New Item". Enter a name for your job and select "Pipeline". Click "OK".
2. **Pipeline Definition**: In the "Pipeline" section, define your pipeline using the Pipeline DSL.
```groovy
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Build') {
steps {
echo 'Building...'
}
}
stage('Test') {
steps {
echo 'Testing...'
}
}
stage('Deploy') {
steps {
echo 'Deploying...'
}
}
}
}
```
3. **Save and Build**: Click "Save" to save the pipeline configuration. To run the pipeline, click "
Build Now".
#### Declarative vs. Scripted Pipelines
Jenkins supports two types of pipelines: Declarative and Scripted.

```groovy
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Build') {
steps {
echo 'Building...'
}
}
}
}
```
- **Scripted Pipeline**: Uses a more flexible and powerful syntax based on Groovy.
```groovy
node {
stage('Build') {
echo 'Building...'
}
}
```
### 8. Integrating Jenkins with Version Control Systems
#### Integrating with Git
1. **Install Git Plugin**: Ensure the Git plugin is installed.
2. **Configure Source Code Management**: When creating or configuring a job, select "Git" under the "Source Code Management" section. Enter the repository URL and credentials if required.
```sh

1. **Install GitHub Plugin**: Ensure the GitHub plugin is installed.
2. **Configure GitHub Repository**: When creating or configuring a job, select "GitHub project" and enter the repository URL.
```sh
Project URL: https://github.com/your-repo/your-project
```
3. **Configure GitHub Hook**: Set up a GitHub webhook to trigger Jenkins jobs when changes are pushed to the repository. In your GitHub repository settings, add a webhook with the following URL:
```sh
Payload URL: http://your-jenkins-server/github-webhook/
```
### 9. Automating Tests with Jenkins
#### Running Unit Tests
1. **Add Build Step**: In your job configuration, add a build step to run unit tests. For example, for a Maven project, add a "Invoke top-level Maven targets" build step.
```sh
Goals: test
```
2. **Publish Test Results**: Add a post-build action to publish test results. For example, for JUnit test results, add a "Publish JUnit test result report" post-build action.
```sh
Test report XMLs: **/target/surefire-reports/*.xml
```
#### Running Integration Tests
1. **Add Build Step**: In your job configuration, add a build step to run integration tests. For example, for a Maven project, add a "Invoke top-level Maven targets" build step.
```sh
Goals: verify
```
2. **Publish Test Results**: Add a post-build action to publish test results. For example, for JUnit test results, add a "Publish JUnit test result report" post-build action.
```sh
Test report XMLs: **/target/failsafe-reports/*.xml
```
### 10. Deploying Applications with Jenkins
#### Deploying to a Local Server
1. **Add Build Step**: In your job configuration, add a build step to deploy the application to a local server. For example, for a Tomcat server, you can use the "Deploy war/ear to a container" build step.
```sh
WAR/EAR files: **/target/*.war
Containers: Tomcat 8.x
```
2. **Configure Container**: Configure the container details such as URL, credentials, and context path.
```sh
Tomcat URL: http://localhost:8080
```
#### Deploying to a Remote Server
1. **Add Build Step**: In your job configuration, add a build step to deploy the application to a remote server. You can use SSH or SCP for this purpose. For example, use the "Send build artifacts over SSH" build step.
```sh
Source files: **/target/*.war
Remove prefix: target
Remote directory: /path/to/deploy
```
2. **Configure SSH Server**: Configure the SSH server details such as hostname, port, and credentials.
```sh
Hostname: remote.server.com
Port: 22
```
### 11. Jenkins Best Practices
1. **Use Declarative Pipelines**: Prefer declarative pipelines for their simplicity and structure.
2. **Use Version Control for Pipeline Scripts**: Store pipeline scripts in version control to track changes and collaborate with team members.
3. **Use Parameterized Builds**: Use parameterized builds to pass variables to your jobs and pipelines.
4. **Monitor Jenkins Performance**: Regularly monitor Jenkins performance and optimize build times.
5. **Backup Jenkins Configuration**: Regularly backup Jenkins configuration and job data to prevent data loss.
6. **Use Security Best Practices**: Follow security best practices such as enabling security, using strong credentials, and limiting user permissions.

1,902,601 | Integrating PostgreSQL with a .NET: A Step-by-Step Guide | In today's world of ever-evolving technologies, PostgreSQL stands out as a powerful, open-source... | 0 | 2024-06-27T12:54:47 | https://dev.to/vzldev/integrating-postgresql-with-a-net-a-step-by-step-guide-3hep | postgres, postgressql, csharp, dotnet | In today's world of ever-evolving technologies, PostgreSQL stands out as a powerful, open-source relational database management system that is robust, reliable, and feature-rich. Integrating PostgreSQL with a .NET API can open up a lot of opportunities for building scalable and high-performance applications. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of setting up and integrating PostgreSQL with a .NET API.
## Prerequisites
Before we dive in, ensure you have the following installed on your machine:
- PostgreSQL
- .NET SDK
## Step 1: Set Up Your .NET Project
First things first, create a .NET Project.
## Step 2: Install Required Packages
Next, we need to install the necessary packages to work with PostgreSQL in .NET.
Install the following nuGet package:
- Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL
This package allows Entity Framework Core to communicate with PostgreSQL.
## Step 3: Configure the Database Connection
Open appsettings.json and add your PostgreSQL connection string:
```
{
"ConnectionStrings": {
"DefaultConnection": "Host=localhost;Database=mydatabase;Username=postgres;Password=yourpassword"
},
"Logging": {
"LogLevel": {
"Default": "Information",
"Microsoft.AspNetCore": "Warning"
}
},
"AllowedHosts": "*"
}
```
## Step 4: Create a Data Context Class
Create a new class named MyDbContext.cs in the Models directory (create the directory if it doesn't exist). Define your DbContext class as follows:
```
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
namespace MyApi.Models
{
public class MyDbContext : DbContext
{
public MyDbContext(DbContextOptions<MyDbContext> options) : base(options) { }
public DbSet<User> Users { get; set; }
}
public class User
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
}
}
```
## Step 5: Configure Services in Program.cs
Open program.cs and configure the services to use PostgreSQL:
```
services.AddDbContext<MyDbContext>(options => options.UseNpgsql(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));
```
**Step 6: Create and Apply Migrations**
To keep your database schema in sync with your EF Core models, use migrations. Open a terminal and run:
```
dotnet ef migrations add InitialCreate
dotnet ef database update
```
## Step 7: Create API Endpoints
Create a new controller named UsersController.cs in the Controllers directory:
```
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using MyApi.Models;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
[Route("api/[controller]")]
[ApiController]
public class UsersController : ControllerBase
{
private readonly MyDbContext _context;
public UsersController(MyDbContext context)
{
_context = context;
}
[HttpGet]
public async Task<ActionResult<IEnumerable<User>>> GetUsers()
{
return await _context.Users.ToListAsync();
}
[HttpGet("{id}")]
public async Task<ActionResult<User>> GetUser(int id)
{
var user = await _context.Users.FindAsync(id);
if (user == null)
{
return NotFound();
}
return user;
}
[HttpPost]
public async Task<ActionResult<User>> PostUser(User user)
{
_context.Users.Add(user);
await _context.SaveChangesAsync();
return CreatedAtAction(nameof(GetUser), new { id = user.Id }, user);
}
[HttpPut("{id}")]
public async Task<IActionResult> PutUser(int id, User user)
{
if (id != user.Id)
{
return BadRequest();
}
_context.Entry(user).State = EntityState.Modified;
try
{
await _context.SaveChangesAsync();
}
catch (DbUpdateConcurrencyException)
{
if (!UserExists(id))
{
return NotFound();
}
else
{
throw;
}
}
return NoContent();
}
[HttpDelete("{id}")]
public async Task<IActionResult> DeleteUser(int id)
{
var user = await _context.Users.FindAsync(id);
if (user == null)
{
return NotFound();
}
_context.Users.Remove(user);
await _context.SaveChangesAsync();
return NoContent();
}
private bool UserExists(int id)
{
return _context.Users.Any(e => e.Id == id);
}
}
```
## Step 8: Run the Application
To manage postgreSQL databases, I use the pgAdmin 4, so you can see here an example of a user:
And that's it guys, a very very very simple case of postgreSQL integration with .net, there's still plenty more to learn, I hope you liked it, stay tuned for more! | vzldev |

Introduction In... | 0 | 2024-06-27T12:50:30 | https://dev.to/modenetwork/splice-finance-your-key-to-superior-defi-yields-4ij3 | defi, blockchain, finance | > This article was written by [Gordian](https://x.com/0xgordian) one of Mode's tech cooperators.
## Introduction
In decentralized finance (DeFi), finding and utilizing the right platform to maximize your investment yields can be daunting, especially for beginners. Splice Finance aims to simplify this process by offering options between fixed APR and boosted points, allowing users to optimize their investments.
This article explores what Splice Finance is, how it works, and why it's valuable for both novice and experienced DeFi participants.
## What is Splice Finance?
Splice Finance is a Decentralized Application (DApp) operating on the Mode Network. Splice provides users with the flexibility to choose between fixed yields (APR) or greater exposure to any capital stream accrued by the underlying accounting token, specifically leverage on native yield, or boosting point exposure. This dual-option system enables users to tailor their investment strategies according to their risk tolerance and financial goals.
## How Does Splice Finance Work?
Splice Finance simplifies the DeFi experience through three core features: Markets, Portfolio, and Swap.
### Markets
The Markets section allows users to explore various token options and their respective yields within Splice. Tokens such as wrsETH (Kelp), weETH (EtherFi), ezETH (Renzo), and MODE (Mode) offer unique yield rates and multipliers, which may vary over time.
### Portfolio
In the Portfolio section, users can monitor and manage their investments effectively. It provides a comprehensive view of assets and facilitates informed decision-making based on financial objectives.
### Swap
The Swap feature enables token exchange between yield tokens (YT) and principal tokens (PT). This flexibility allows users to dynamically adjust their investment strategies for fixed yields or boosted points.
Users can explore different yield markets, manage their investments, and swap tokens to optimize their returns. The platform supports various tokens, each with specific yield options and maturity dates.
## What can you do in Splice Markets section?
### Markets
The Markets section allows users to explore various token options and their respective yields within Splice. Tokens such as wrsETH (Kelp), weETH (EtherFi), ezETH (Renzo), and MODE (Mode) offer unique yield rates and multipliers, which may vary over time. Note, the following examples below offer an explanation of yield opportunities at the time of writing; they may not be available as quoted in the future.
### **Here’s an example explanation of the Market screenshot below:**
- **wrsETH (Kelp)**:
- **Fixed Yield APY (Annual Percentage Yield)**: PT tokens of wrsETH offer a fixed yield of 19.82% APY.
- **Points Multiplier for YT**: YT associated with wrsETH has a points multiplier of 64.00x.
- **Maturity**: This shows that the Tokens mature on 21st August 2024.
- **Liquidity**: $164,038 represents the total liquidity available for trading the wrsETH token pair on Splice Finance.
- **weETH (EtherFi)**:
- **Fixed Yield APY**: PT tokens of weETH provide a fixed yield of 14.82% APY.
- **Points Multiplier for YT**: YT associated with weETH offers a points multiplier of 126.00x.
- **Maturity**: This shows that the Tokens mature on 21st August 2024.
- **Liquidity**: $121,839 denotes the total liquidity available for trading the weETH token pair on Splice Finance.
- **EZETH (Renzo)**:
- **Fixed Yield APY**: PT tokens of EZETH have a fixed yield of 24.45% APY.
- **Points Multiplier for YT**: YT for EZETH features a points multiplier of 104.00x.
- **Maturity**: This shows that the Tokens mature on 21st August 2024.
- **Liquidity**: $461,733 indicates the total liquidity available for trading the EZETH token pair on Splice Finance.
- **MODE (Mode)**:
- **Fixed Yield APY**: PT tokens of MODE offer a fixed yield of 76.53% APY.
- **Points Multiplier for YT**: YT associated with MODE has a points multiplier of 20.00x.
- **Maturity**: This shows that the Tokens mature on 21st August 2024.
- **Liquidity**: $335,579 represents the total liquidity available for trading the MODE token pair on Splice Finance.
These would provide you a clear overview of each token's Fixed Yield APR, Points Multiplier for Yield Tokens (YT), and the liquidity available for trading on Splice Finance. It helps users grasp the yield options and market accessibility for each token respectively.
## What can you do in the Splice Portfolio section?
### Portfolio
In the Portfolio section, users can monitor and manage their investments effectively. It provides a comprehensive view of assets and facilitates informed decision-making based on financial objectives.
### Swap
The Swap feature enables users to exchange their tokens for either yield tokens (YT) or principal tokens (PT). This flexibility allows users to adjust their investment strategies dynamically, optimizing for either fixed yields or boosted points and yield volatility.
## How to Swap Tokens on Splice Finance
Swapping tokens on Splice Finance is an easy and straightforward process that allows you to either buy Yield Tokens (YT) or Principal Tokens (PT) easily.
To buy Yield Tokens (YT), start by choosing the token you want to swap, such as ezETH. Send your selected token to the swap contract, which will route Splice Yield (SY) from the pool. The contract then mints Principal Tokens (PT) and YTs from the SY, and you receive YTs. The PTs are sold for SY to balance the routed amount.
To buy Principal Tokens (PT), choose the token you want to swap, like ezETH or YT-ezETH, and specify the amount.
Approve the transaction to authorize the swap, then click the swap button to receive PTs.
### Benefits of Swapping on Splice Finance
1. **Efficient Yield Maximization**:
- Swapping allows you to efficiently acquire YTs or PTs, enabling you to maximize your yield based on your investment strategy.
2. **Flexibility with your Investments**:
- Splice provides the flexibility to choose between stable, fixed returns with PTs or higher potential rewards with YTs.
3. **No Liquidation Risks**:
- By participating in swaps, you can avoid liquidation risks that are common in other DeFi protocols.
4. **Helps with Optimal Trading**:
- The relationship between PT and YT prices allows for optimal trading strategies, including flash swaps, which leverage the inverse price correlation for better returns.
5. **Access to other Integrated tokens and Ecosystem**:
- The seamless integration of various tokens and yield options on Splice allows for a comprehensive and user-friendly trading experience.
6. **Boosted Rewards and points both on both Splice, Mode and other ecosystem**:
- By becoming a liquidity provider (LP), you can earn additional trading fees and incentives, which helps increase your overall yields too. It also helps you get more Mode airdrop points.
## What are the key tokens and concepts of Splice and how can you benefit with them?
### What are Splice Tokens :
There are four types of tokens that make up a Splice market:
- **Principal Tokens (PT)**: These tokens allow users to purchase at a discount to their fair market value on the day of maturity. This provides a fixed yield that buyers can rely on. Ideal for those seeking stable and predictable returns.
- **Yield Tokens (YT)**: Offer leveraged yields during the contract term, diminishing to zero upon redemption but tradable prior to maturity. Perfect for users looking to maximize their returns through points.
- **Standardized Yield Tokens (SY)**: These are the tokens received when minting yield tokens, exchangeable for underlying tokens on the Swap page.
- **Liquidity Provider Tokens (LPT)**: Minters of these tokens receive both annual percentage yield (APY) and yield points, although both will be lower than PT and YT tokens individually. Additionally LPTs accrue yield through swap fees. Suitable for those looking to hedge against either consolidated strategy and earn global returns.
### Splice Concepts:
- **Fixed Yield APR**: The Annual Percent Return for holding PT tokens, providing a clear and stable expected return.
- **Boosted Points**: Holding YT increases multipliers on points in addition enhanced variable yield exposure, potentially leading to higher overall returns.
- **Maturity Date**: The date when PT tokens can be redeemed for the underlying asset, marking the end of the yield accumulation period for YT token holders.
## Strategies to Optimize Investment Yields on Splice (NFA):
- **Free The Yield**: All yield is streamed to YT until maturity, providing substantial returns through boosted points. This strategy is ideal for users looking to maximize their variable yield potential.
- **Zero Price Impact Mode**: Minting PT and YT tokens without affecting market prices, ensuring optimal trading conditions.
- **Long on PT Tokens**: This strategy focuses on maximizing fixed yields, providing stable and predictable returns.
- **Long on YT Tokens**: This strategy aims to maximize points and variable yield returns, suitable for users seeking higher but potentially more volatile returns.
## What is the Yield Trading Concept?
Yield trading on Splice Finance involves buying and selling yield tokens (YT) and principal tokens (PT) to optimize returns based on market conditions and personal investment strategies. Here's how it works:
- **Trading YT Tokens**: Yield tokens accumulate returns over time and can be purchased for higher points multipliers. This makes them attractive for users who anticipate higher yield growth and are willing to accept higher volatility.
- **Trading PT Tokens**: Principal tokens provide fixed yields and can be traded for their stable returns. These tokens are ideal for users who prefer predictable and steady expected returns.
- **Market Timing**: Users can optimize their returns by strategically trading PT and YT tokens based on their yield forecasts. For instance, buying PT tokens when fixed yield APRs are high and selling them when the rates decrease can maximize returns.
- **Yield Arbitrage Opportunities**: Savvy traders can exploit price differences between PT and YT tokens across different markets, taking advantage of temporary inefficiencies to earn profits.
## Why use Splice Finance?
Splice Finance stands out for its flexibility, optimization potential, and integration with multiple protocols which are:
- **Mode Network**: Helps to earn Mode points and leverage Mode’s ecosystem airdrop.
- **EtherFi (weETH)**: Provides fixed and variable yield opportunities with EtherFi LRT’s tokens.
- **Kelp (wrsETH)**: Enables yield generation through KelpDAO’s token ecosystem.
- **Renzo (EZETH)**: Allows users to benefit from Renzo’s yield strategies.
## When to Use Splice Finance?
- **New to Decentralized Finance**: If you are new to decentralized finance and want to try things out in yield farming with guided strategies, Splice offers you that freedom.
- **Optimizing Yields**: Suitable for maximizing returns through strategic investments and swaps.
- **Portfolio Management**: Useful for tracking and managing investment performance in a consolidated platform.
- **Long-Term financial Investment**: Suitable for users looking to generate sustainable passive returns through DeFi investments over the long term.
- **Diversification of financial Investments**: Aids in distributing your portfolio across different tokens and integrated protocols.

1,902,594 | How AML Crypto Checks Help Protect Your Customers' Accounts? | Most people are using cryptos to make payments, trade, and investments online. While the use of... | 0 | 2024-06-27T12:45:01 | https://dev.to/meetdeltan/how-aml-crypto-checks-help-protect-your-customers-accounts-4h41 | cryptocurrency | Most people are using cryptos to make payments, trade, and investments online. While the use of cryptos is increasing, it is equally important to ensure that customers' accounts are safe. This is how firms do it through AML crypto checks. The global cryptocurrency market is anticipated to have more than 300 million users by 2023.
AML stands for anti-money laundering. It is all about how people legitimize the illegal money that one has earned, for example, from drugs or scams, through the process of making such money appear clean.
Checks on Crypto are conducted to monitor AML rules that are in place for the ultimate good of a customer. Such checks help to identify suspicious activities on accounts so companies can take a look at what is going on, hence keeping the Crypto and the personal information of customers more secure. It also means customers can feel safer using crypto services, knowing that the company is watching for fishy transfers. This article will discuss how [AML crypto](https://amlwatcher.com/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-aml-crypto/) checks help protect your customers' accounts.
## Why Are AML Checks Necessary for Crypto?
AML in crypto checks are essential for enforcing anti-money laundering regulations. The more dependence on using cryptocurrencies, the more hype is increasing. More than a $1 trillion market cap in recent years has increased the propensity of criminals to use these digital currencies for money laundering activities.
That often results in more considerable complications when people try to clean dirty money through Crypto sneakily. The checks help identify suspicious transfers, which means companies have an eye on whether or not the customers are using the accounts for activities against the law. This saves others in the crypto world from getting entangled in criminal activity. AML and checks on Crypto make the whole industry safer and more trusted.
## How AML Crypto Checks Work?
When running an AML crypto check, a company's software can sift address histories and transaction patterns to see if it flags anything for potential laundering. It studies where the Crypto is coming from and going to, in addition to the amounts. This process of Crypto AML flags anything out of the ordinary that might need a human being to double-check.
This software automatically processes new crypto movements into accounts to pick up the earliest point of identification of suspicious activities. This helps apply the cryptocurrency anti-money laundering laws. The sheer number of daily cryptocurrency transactions consistently topped $100 billion in 2023. The program will alert compliance experts automatically if they detect transactions that go outside standard patterns, which would require a closer look.
## Red Flags That Could Trigger AML Crypto Checks
Here are some potential red flags that could trigger an additional crypto AML check. For instance, huge transactions over $10,000 at a time or transfers aggregating over $50,000 in a month between accounts that are not visibly associated with one another are considered possible money laundering activities. Extensive and recurrent transfers from unknown sources indicate some form of hiding money.
Moving new Crypto in and out rapidly may appear like "layering" to cover illegal tracks. Other red flags include sending to troubling addresses or high-risk countries. Seeing these things makes the software run more reviews to ensure there's nothing terrible like scamming or drugs involved with an account.
Bonus: To ensure that robust AML crypto checks are conducted, our company is dedicated to providing customers with a secure platform for all digital asset needs.
## Protecting Customer Accounts and Information
AML crypto checks are therefore essential to ensure the safety of customer accounts and personal information. Implementations of AI-driven tools for behavioral analysis in AML processes this year have drastically reduced the number of fraudulent account breaches by 40%.
It makes sure that if a suspicious person ever gains access where he isn't supposed to be, then it will catch it, ensuring that hackers or scammers can't steal cryptos or private information like names and addresses. Besides all these, following the AML for crypto guidelines about the checks also means securing everything properly. It helps customers be at ease that their financial security and privacy are being looked after.
## Ensuring Compliance With AML Regulations
Businesses in the crypto area must observe AML crypto regulations because any failure to comply would result in severe penalties. The measures are taken to prevent criminal abuse of the financial system. The firm could continuously meet all the requirements for money laundering monitoring because checks are done automatically.
Audits will find the company conforming to manageable protocols. Proper compliance assures customers' data and transactions are well-governed according to the standards of Crypto AML regulations.
## Benefits of AML Crypto Checks for Customers and Businesses
It ensures that customers' crypto and personal information remain secure when stored in or transmitted by an account. On the business side, the checks satisfy regulators and maintain the reputation of their platform. The customer wins just like the business regarding AML assurance in Crypto. This further fortifies the industry as a whole. Everyone is fine when crypto watchdogs work to keep accounts safe with regular and reasonable checks.

N+1 queries usually happen when there is a one-to-many relationship, where we (I) try to call a record related to an object that is the child(many) of the main parent(one) object.
_Let's use for this article an Author(one) and her books(many)._
If you're not sure whether it IS an N+1 problem query or not, check your log (bin/dev).
You'll know you have an N+1 error when your parent object is loaded fine, but then underneath you'll have a bunch of children object loaded separately from one another, back-to-back.
So in our example, you'd see first that you'd be loading the author.
```
SELECT "author" FROM "authors" WHERE "authors"."id" IN "Fantasy" AND "books"."published blablabla"
```
That's fine, but then the problem arises when you see something like this after.
```
SELECT "book" FROM "books" WHERE "books"."id" blablabla ["id", 4]
SELECT "book" FROM "books" WHERE "books"."id" blablabla ["id", 7]
SELECT "book" FROM "books" WHERE "books"."id" blablabla ["id", 9]
SELECT "book" FROM "books" WHERE "books"."id" blablabla ["id", 11]
SELECT "book" FROM "books" WHERE "books"."id" blablabla ["id", 15]
...etc
```
So over and over again we're loading these books, and each time we do that, we're making a request to the database. Sure, that's not a big deal in my example because we made 5 requests, but it does start to become an issue when authors or author groups have hundreds of books. Publishing houses that have tens of thousands. Obviously this wouldn't be a good way to go about getting that data.
The solution to this lies in the controller, where we are selecting the data, and on how we _include_ the author data in our book query... See what I did there?
We are telling Rails that we want to run just one statement to select all that related data at once, instead of running multiple individual statements for each individual record later.
```
@books = Book.includes(:author).order(published_at: :desc)
```
Looking back at our log, we should see something like this
```
SELECT "book" FROM "books" WHERE "books"."id" blablabla [["id", 4], ["id", 7], ["id", 9], ["id", 11], ["id", 15]]
```
It's really good form to go back in your logs and look at how your data is being loaded, and where the load is coming from in your application's code! ☺︎
And for when we need a little extra help, there are always neat gems like [this one](https://github.com/DmitryTsepelev/ar_lazy_preload)

1,902,590 | Introduction to a VS Code Client for Bluesky Created by a High School Student | Hello, Recently, there's been a controversial change on 𝕏 (formerly Twitter) where the "likes" on... | 0 | 2024-06-27T12:40:57 | https://dev.to/zuk246/introduction-to-a-vs-code-client-for-bluesky-created-by-a-high-school-student-1g64 | bluesky, javascript, typescript, vscode | Hello,
Recently, there's been a controversial change on 𝕏 (formerly Twitter) where the "likes" on posts can no longer be viewed. In response to this, I've developed a VS Code extension that allows you to post to Bluesky. I’d like to introduce it to you.
Some people might misunderstand that the likes section on Bluesky is also hidden, but it's accessible through clients other than the official one. There is an [API](https://docs.bsky.app/docs/api/app-bsky-feed-get-actor-likes) available as well.
This is a VS Code client for Bluesky. It has features such as posting, timeline viewing, notifications, likes, and account information. It supports multi-columns and a status bar as well. Since it’s open-source, I welcome suggestions for new features and improvements. Please give it a star on GitHub🙏
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=zuk246.blueriver
https://github.com/zuk246/BlueRiver
## 🧭 Background
The idea came when I saw that Bluesky's API was publicly available, making it possible to create a client for it. Although there were already mobile and web clients, I thought developing a VS Code client would allow developers to easily post to and view their Bluesky timeline while coding. Additionally, there are quite a few Japanese articles on VS Code extension development.
## 🛠️ Technology Used
### Language
I used TypeScript. Moving from JavaScript to TypeScript increased suggestions from VS Code and reduced errors, making it hard to go back to JS. Only the script for the WebView supports JS, as I initially tried TS but it led to several hours of errors.
### Libraries
I used libraries for VS Code extensions and for handling Bluesky operations. I wanted to use React for developing the WebView, but it made things too complex, so I didn't.
## 🖥️ Screenshots
## 🦋 What is Bluesky?
Bluesky originated as a project within Twitter in 2019 and became independent and incorporated in August 2021. Jay Graber is the CEO, and Jack Dorsey is on the board.
Bluesky is a decentralized social network, unlike the centralized model of 𝕏. Users can post, collect, and share information. Each user can have their own server, and these servers collaborate to form a single social network.
When thinking of decentralized social networks, you might think of Mastodon or NoStr, but Bluesky uses a protocol called AT Protocol (Authenticated Transport Protocol), where personal data like "likes" and "shares" are stored in repositories.
### Third-Party Apps
Unlike Twitter, Bluesky allows you to modify the timeline algorithm freely and create custom apps. This means you can use or develop various third-party apps.
You can view a list of third-party apps, libraries, and extensions on Bluesky's official [Community Showcase](https://docs.bsky.app/showcase). This extension is also registered there via GitHub.
Generated with [Bluesky Posts Heatmap Generator](https://bluesky-heatmap.fly.dev/)
There are 142 third-party apps registered, and you can generate images like GitHub's contribution graph. There are unofficial clients for Android and iOS as well. I use a client called Graysky on my smartphone.
There's also an extension to find Bluesky accounts from your 𝕏 followers and following.
https://zenn.dev/ryo_kawamata/articles/2f0b96f8eb5179
Bluesky adopts principles such as "exceeding existing social networks in usability, extensibility, and developer experience," "integrating app and protocol development," and "quickly discarding ideas or designs that don't work."
### Recent Bluesky Developments
Quoted from [The Pragmatic Engineer](https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/bluesky)
Since the end of the invitation system in February 2024, many people have registered on Bluesky. The graph of likes shows a spike in February as well.
Currently, there are 5.9 million users registered on Bluesky.
Graph of daily likes from [bsky.jazco.dev/stats](bsky.jazco.dev/stats)
Last month (May), Jack Dorsey stepped down from Bluesky's board, citing "repeating all the mistakes that Twitter made." Despite this, I find Bluesky's API and documentation more comprehensive and user-friendly compared to other decentralized social networks, which is why I plan to continue using Bluesky.
## 🚀 Features
Timeline and Zenn(Japanese tech blog) Writing
Post: Easily create and share posts directly from VS Code.
Timeline: View your Bluesky timeline within VS Code.
Notifications: Stay updated with notifications without leaving your coding environment.
Likes: Manage your likes effortlessly.
Account Information: Access and manage your Bluesky account details.
Status Bar: Check the number of notifications and access a list of available commands by clicking on the status bar.
Multi-Column + Responsive Design: View your timeline and notifications side-by-side while working.
Multi-Language Support: The extension currently supports English, Japanese, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, and French.
## ⏩ Future Plans
Currently, the extension includes basic features, but I plan to add more functionalities like displaying feed lists and enabling likes directly from the timeline. The goal is to develop a robust and comprehensive client for Bluesky.
Thank you for reading!
Follow me on Bluesky:
https://bsky.app/profile/zuk246.net
Check out the extension on the Visual Studio Marketplace:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=zuk246.blueriver
## Conclusion
In summary, the new VS Code extension for Bluesky aims to integrate social media interactions seamlessly into the developer's workflow. With its comprehensive features and open-source nature, it provides a flexible and user-friendly tool for engaging with Bluesky.
If you are a developer using VS Code, I encourage you to try out this extension and contribute to its development. Your feedback and suggestions are invaluable for improving and expanding its capabilities.
Thank you for taking the time to read about this project. I hope it enhances your experience with Bluesky and makes your development process more enjoyable.
Happy coding and happy posting!

One of the common patterns when you design your microservices based apps is an [gateway pattern](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/architecture/microservices/architect-microservice-container-applications/direct-client-to-microservice-communication-versus-the-api-gateway-pattern) in opposite on client-to-microservice communication. You can write your own gateway applications or use third party solutions for it. One of the widely used solution in .NET world that [Microsoft recommends](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/architecture/microservices/multi-container-microservice-net-applications/implement-api-gateways-with-ocelot) is [Ocelot](https://ocelot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction/gettingstarted.html).
It is convenient and simple solution for creation API gateways.
#Problem
During of one the recent projects I've faced and interesting problem for one of the microservices that was responsible for files downloading. For files that size was greater than about 250 MB `Ocelot` gateway returned HTTP `Content-Length` Header equals to zero whereas microservice actually returned desired file content. The result of it was an empty downloaded file on client side.
I've found out that it is existing and reported old (dated on Jun 8, 2020) Ocelot issue: [1262](https://github.com/ThreeMammals/Ocelot/issues/1262).
There is also another very similar [issue](https://github.com/ThreeMammals/Ocelot/issues/1382) but solution in comments does not work in my case.
For our application solution of the problem was to override the default `HTTP client` used in Ocelot. I've done it only for one endpoint that is responsible for file downloading just to keep all the implemented Ocelot logic with caching, logging, etc. for rest of configured API.
To do it I've needed to perform 3 steps:
- To find default implementation of Ocelot `IHttpRequester`. It is a [HttpClientHttpRequester](https://github.com/ThreeMammals/Ocelot/blob/3ef6abd7465fc77632e4b2d5189fbbf47b457867/src/Ocelot/Requester/HttpClientHttpRequester.cs)
- To implement custom `IHttpRequester` implementation based on [HttpClientHttpRequester](https://github.com/ThreeMammals/Ocelot/blob/3ef6abd7465fc77632e4b2d5189fbbf47b457867/src/Ocelot/Requester/HttpClientHttpRequester.cs) for `contents` endpoint (that is responsible for files downloads):
```cs
public class HttpRequester : IHttpRequester
{
private readonly IHttpClientCache _cacheHandlers;
private readonly IOcelotLogger _logger;
private readonly IDelegatingHandlerHandlerFactory _factory;
private readonly IExceptionToErrorMapper _mapper;
private readonly IHttpClientFactory _httpClientFactory;
public HttpRequester(IOcelotLoggerFactory loggerFactory,
IHttpClientCache cacheHandlers,
IDelegatingHandlerHandlerFactory factory,
IExceptionToErrorMapper mapper, IHttpClientFactory httpClientFactory)
{
_logger = loggerFactory.CreateLogger<HttpClientHttpRequester>();
_cacheHandlers = cacheHandlers;
_factory = factory;
_mapper = mapper;
_httpClientFactory = httpClientFactory;
}
public async Task<Response<HttpResponseMessage>> GetResponse(HttpContext httpContext)
{
if (httpContext.Request.Path.ToString().Contains("contents"))
{
var client = _httpClientFactory.CreateClient("FilesDownloadClient");
var request = httpContext.Items.DownstreamRequest();
var response = await client.SendAsync(request.ToHttpRequestMessage(), HttpCompletionOption.ResponseHeadersRead);
return new OkResponse<HttpResponseMessage>(response);
}
var builder = new HttpClientBuilder(_factory, _cacheHandlers, _logger);
var downstreamRoute = httpContext.Items.DownstreamRoute();
var downstreamRequest = httpContext.Items.DownstreamRequest();
var httpClient = builder.Create(downstreamRoute);
try
{
var response = await httpClient.SendAsync(downstreamRequest.ToHttpRequestMessage(), httpContext.RequestAborted);
return new OkResponse<HttpResponseMessage>(response);
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
var error = _mapper.Map(exception);
return new ErrorResponse<HttpResponseMessage>(error);
}
finally
{
builder.Save();
}
}
}
```
- Register of this custom `IHttpRequester` implementation and `HttpClient` factory in gateway DI container before registering Ocelot:
```cs
builder.Services.AddHttpClient("FilesDownloadClient", client =>
{
client.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10);
});
builder.Services.TryAddSingleton<IHttpRequester, HttpRequester>();
builder.Services.AddOcelot(configuration);
```
Now client can download any files you need through yours Ocelot gateway.
Important thing in `IHttpRequester` implementation is to have set `HttpCompletionOption.ResponseHeadersRead` (that means the operation should complete as soon as a response is available without buffering and headers are read. The content is not read yet.) during requesting underlying API:
```cs
var response = await client.SendAsync(request.ToHttpRequestMessage(), HttpCompletionOption.ResponseHeadersRead);
```
You also have to remember that default timeout for `HttpClient` is 100 seconds and for large files gateway can throw an exception. To change timeout you can use:
```cs
builder.Services.AddHttpClient("FilesDownloadClient", client =>
{
client.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10);
});

Three type of storages have own Life time duration, memory sizes and control points.
2.Additionally if we should save Object, Array or such kind of Data bases, Firstly we change them to string via JSON KEYS like this.
```
const person={
name:"John",
age:21,
job:"Programmer",
hobby:['sleeping']
};
LocalStorage.setItem('person', JSON.stringify('person'))
```
LocalStorage
LocalStorage is controled only by client-side, limit of memory is 5/10mb it depends on the browser,it only supports the type of string data base and it could edit by users.
LocalStorage used with these keys:
1. setItem -> Add
```
LocalStorage.setItem('name', 'John');
```
2. getItem -> Value
```
let person=LocalStorage.getItem('name');
console.log(person);
```
3. removeItem -> remove
```
LocalStorage.removeItem('person');
```
4. clear -> clear the full storage
```
LocalStorage.clear();
```
Cookies
Cookies more used for Safty and it only save a few dates arround 4kb, if we want to delete it we can but other case it is not deleted. Cookies controlled by both side it client-side and server-side and it accept requests also supports string and editable.
Session
Sessin can save 5mb memory size , it removed when we close the tab and it also support string and controlled by client-side.

1,902,580 | Mastering Cypher Queries in Apache AGE | Basic Cypher Queries Creating Nodes Nodes are the fundamental units in a graph database.... | 0 | 2024-06-27T12:29:42 | https://dev.to/nim12/mastering-cypher-queries-in-apache-age-2kc8 | apacheage, cypher, queries, postgres | ## Basic Cypher Queries
**_Creating Nodes_**
Nodes are the fundamental units in a graph database. Here’s how to create nodes using Cypher:
`-- Create a person node with properties
CREATE (n:Person {name: 'Alice', age: 30});
CREATE (n:Person {name: 'Bob', age: 25});`
**_Creating Relationships_**
Relationships connect nodes and provide context to the data. Here’s how to create a relationship between two nodes:
`MATCH (a:Person {name: 'Alice'}), (b:Person {name: 'Bob'})
CREATE (a)-[:FRIEND]->(b);`
**_Retrieving Nodes_**
To retrieve nodes from the graph, use the MATCH clause followed by the RETURN clause:
`MATCH (n:Person)
RETURN n;`
**_Filtering Nodes_**
Filter nodes based on their properties using the WHERE clause:
`MATCH (n:Person)
WHERE n.age > 25
RETURN n;`
## Advanced Cypher Queries
**_Aggregations_**
Cypher supports various aggregation functions such as COUNT, SUM, AVG, etc. Here’s an example of counting the number of nodes:
```
MATCH (n:Person)
RETURN COUNT(n) AS numberOfPersons;
```
**_Path Queries_**
Find paths between nodes using variable-length paths in the MATCH clause:
`MATCH (a:Person {name: 'Alice'})-[*]->(b:Person)
RETURN b;`
**_Complex Queries_**
Combine multiple clauses to form more complex queries:
`MATCH (a:Person)-[:FRIEND]->(b:Person)
WHERE a.age > 25
RETURN a, b;`
**_Using Indexes for Performance_**
Indexes can significantly improve query performance by speeding up the lookup of nodes and relationships. Create indexes on frequently queried properties:
`CREATE INDEX ON :Person(name);`
## Practical Examples
**_Example 1: Finding Friends of Friends_**
Find friends of friends for a given person:
```
MATCH (a:Person {name: 'Alice'})-[:FRIEND]->(b)-[:FRIEND]->(c)
RETURN c;
```
**_Example 2: Counting Relationships_**
Count the number of friendships in the graph:
```
MATCH (:Person)-[r:FRIEND]->(:Person)
RETURN COUNT(r) AS numberOfFriendships;
```
**_Example 3: Finding Common Friends_**
Find common friends between two people:
```
MATCH (a:Person {name: 'Alice'})-[:FRIEND]->(friend)<-[:FRIEND]-(b:Person {name: 'Bob'})
RETURN friend;
```
**Conclusion**
Cypher queries in Apache AGE provide a robust and flexible way to interact with graph data. By mastering these queries, you can unlock the full potential of graph databases, making your applications more efficient and scalable. Start experimenting with Cypher queries today and explore the endless possibilities that graph databases offer.

1,902,495 | The root cause of “works on my machine” | I recently read an article about rare illnesses. Right in the opening sentence, it said something... | 0 | 2024-06-27T12:20:46 | https://cloudomation.com/en/cloudomation-blog/the-root-cause-of-works-on-my-machine/ | softwaredevelopment, cde, devex | I recently read an article about rare illnesses. Right in the opening sentence, it said something that confused me: Rare illnesses are the most common illnesses. How does this make sense?
It makes sense because the “rare” refers to the number of people affected by one individual type of rare illness, while the “most common” refers to the total number of people who suffer from any arbitrary type of rare illness.
It is exactly the same with the problem of “works on my machine”. The number of different things that can go wrong when deploying software is so big that each individual problem might only arise under very specific circumstances and is therefore rare in itself.
This is the root cause of “works on my machine”: **the most common types of problems are rare problems. Most problems are unique.** When looking at a graph that represents different problems that arose when deploying a software in different environments, this leads to a long tail of rare and unique problems.
**This long tail of problems makes it extremely difficult to ensure reliable deployment processes that work in many different environments.** When deploying software in a production setting, this is typically solved by standardising the deployment environment. But this is pretty much impossible when it comes to local deployment on individual developer’s laptops. Even if the basic setup is standardised, the sheer variety of hardware and software that can – and will – be present on developer’s laptops very often leads to problems in local deployment of software. And the majority of these problems are unique.
**Problems that affect a majority or even just several developers are typically automated away quickly.** The problem is that this still leaves **a lot of problems that affect only one or a few developers.** Addressing these rare problems in deployment automation often doesn’t warrant the time and effort that would go into it, because so few people are affected. So **individual developers are left to deal with these problems on their own.**
**As a consequence, many developers spend a lot of time troubleshooting their local deployments. **Depending on the complexity of local deployment, this can amount to a little, or a lot of developer’s time. On average, developers spend around 10% of their time troubleshooting their development environments. For some developers, this number is a lot higher.
## How to squash the long tail
There is only one way to get rid of this time sink: By addressing root causes of several individual issues, and providing solutions that prevent them from arising in the first case.
**Containerisation** is one such solution that prevents a lot of issues from arising, by providing isolated and standardised environments for software components to run in. Package managers that allow to install and use several versions of a package next to each other (**isolated packages**, e.g. Nix) are another neat approach that chop off a large section of the long tail of unique problems. **Standardisation **of developer’s laptops is an often-tried approach with mixed outcomes (Read: [Problems with the local development environment: Is containerisation the solution?](https://cloudomation.com/en/cloudomation-blog/problems-with-local-development-environment-containerisation-as-the-solution/)), but at least conceptually it is sensible, because it tries to address an underlying cause instead of thousands of individual problems.
Recently, another approach has gained popularity: **remote development environments (RDEs)** or **[cloud development environments (CDEs)](https://cloudomation.com/en/cloud-development-environments/)**. These are work environments that are provided remotely where software developers can deploy and run the software they work on, together with any development tools they need.
As complete environments, RDEs go several steps further than containers by providing isolated environments from the operating system up. RDEs are also a lot simpler to standardise because they exist in addition to developers laptops: Developers are free to use whatever hardware they like and install whatever software they want on their laptops, without interfering with their standardised RDEs. As such, RDEs will get rid of the long tail of unique problems almost entirely.

1,902,515 | The Uniqueness of React.js and Angular. | In front-end web development, React.js and Angular happen to be the most popular & most used... | 0 | 2024-06-27T12:17:37 | https://dev.to/almighty_taurean_7d35fe88/the-uniqueness-of-reactjs-and-angular-3n8k | In front-end web development, React.js and Angular happen to be the most popular & most used front-end technologies. They both offer robust solutions for building modern, and scalable web applications.
I am going to tell you what differentiates them and also what makes them unique.
React.js:
React.js, developed and maintained by Facebook. It is a Javascript library for building user interfaces (UIs). It has a component-based architecture where the UI is broken down into reusable components.
React.js emphasizes the concept of a virtual DOM (Document Object Model) for efficient rendering and allowing developers to build complex UIs with high performance.
Angular:
Angular, originally developed by Google and now maintained by the Angular Team at Google, is a comprehensive platform for building web, mobile, and desktop applications. Angular is a full-fledged MVC (Model-View-Controller) framework that offers a more opinionated structure compared to React.js. It includes features such as two-way data binding, dependency injection, and TypeScript support out of the box.
Major Differences
1.Architecture:
React.js: Uses a component-based architecture where UIs are built as reusable components. It manages state locally within components, and state management is typically handled with libraries like Redux or Context API.
Angular: Follows a full MVC architecture where components, services, and modules play key roles. It features two-way data binding, meaning changes in the view automatically update the model and vice versa.
2.Language and Tooling:
React.js: Uses JavaScript (or TypeScript if chosen) for development. It is known for its lightweight nature and flexibility in choosing additional libraries for specific functionalities.
Angular: Primarily uses TypeScript, a superset of JavaScript that offers strong typing and object-oriented features. Angular provides a more structured and opinionated approach to development, including a CLI (Command Line Interface) for scaffolding and managing projects.
3.Rendering and Performance:
React.js: Utilizes a virtual DOM for efficient rendering. It updates only the necessary components when data changes, leading to improved performance in complex applications.
Angular: Uses a real DOM with two-way data binding. Angular's change detection mechanism checks for changes in the entire component tree, which can impact performance in large-scale applications but simplifies development with its automatic updates.
4.Community and Ecosystem:
React.js: Has a vast and active community with a rich ecosystem of third-party libraries and tools (e.g., Redux for state management, React Router for routing). This flexibility allows developers to pick and choose tools that best fit their project requirements.
Angular: Also has a strong community backed by Google, with comprehensive documentation and support. It provides an integrated ecosystem with Angular Material for UI components, RxJS for reactive programming, and Angular CLI for efficient project management.
What Makes Them Better for Different Scenarios
React.js:
1. Flexibility: Ideal for projects where flexibility and minimalism are key. React.js allows developers to compose their application using libraries and tools that suit their specific needs.
2. Performance: Great for applications requiring high performance and responsiveness due to its efficient virtual DOM rendering.
Angular:
1. Opinionated Structure: Suitable for large-scale enterprise applications where consistency and structure are crucial. Angular’s built-in features like two-way data binding and dependency injection simplify development and maintainability.
2. TypeScript Integration: Offers strong typing and advanced IDE support, making it suitable for teams familiar with statically-typed languages and seeking robust tooling.
in HNG, React.js will be used, i started with React.js but i'm currently learning angular. i expect to complete different tasks given to me that involves react.js and become more familiar with the technology

1,901,735 | How to generate dynamic OG (OpenGraph) images with Satori and React | Have you ever seen those great images that appear when you share any link through social media?... | 0 | 2024-06-27T12:16:25 | https://dev.to/woovi/how-to-generate-dynamic-og-opengraph-images-with-satori-and-react-1bhb | webdev, react, tutorial, programming | Have you ever seen those great images that appear when you share any link through social media? Twitter, WhatsApp, Discord, Facebook, Slack, and everywhere display those images as a way to aggregate some context value for all the links you share. For example:
At Woovi, one of our great features is our payment link. A link that you can share with your customers and let them have access to all data related to their charges. Let the customers see the QR code to pay the Pix, the value of the charge, and any other relevant information that could be useful for them.
## Sharing the Payment Link
But, what happens when we get this payment link, for example, and share it in some place? What we would see was just the QR code related to that Pix, like the example below:
But, this isn't a nice thing to see at all, do you agree? Isn't give any useful information, and I, being the customer, doesn't appreciate it. Further, the fact that, in some specific cases, they can't render the QR code because the image is greater than expected (WhatsApp, for example, only accepts 1200x630 OG images).
With that idea in mind, we put a great effort into implementing a new way to generate our OG images in runtime. The idea was: to dynamically generate the image according to some specific data, with that, we can have a better image that lets the customer appreciate what they're seeing.
## Using Satori to Generate the Image
Under the hood, we would use [Satori](https://github.com/vercel/satori) as the solution that will generate the SVG for us. We would need these things:
- An endpoint that will get the request to generate the image
- Satori to create the SVG
It's simple, right? The idea was to get all necessary data through this endpoint and pass it to a React component that will be rendered by Satori and converted into an SVG. Too easy, right?
## Implementing the endpoint
The endpoint is simple and is like any other endpoint that you already implemented. Based on our stack, we will be using [Koa.js](https://koajs.com/) to implement it:
```ts
import { Router } from '@koa/router';
import type { Context } from 'koa';
const router = new Router();
routerOpenPix.get(
'/api/link/og/:paymentLinkID{.png}?',
paymentLinkOgImageGet,
);
function paymentLinkOgImageGet(ctx: Context) {
// let's implement it in another moment, okay?
}
```
The idea of this endpoint is simple: get the param `paymentLinkID` and find all the data through our materialized data into our database and pass it to the Satori.
## Rendenring the SVG
Now that we already implemented the endpoint, we can follow the usage of the Satori to render our image for us:
```tsx
import type { Context } from 'koa';
import satori from 'satori';
async function paymentLinkOgImageGet(ctx: Context) {
const { paymentLinkID } = ctx.params;
const paymentLink = await getPaymentLinkByID(paymentLinkID);
if (!paymentLink) {
ctx.status = 400;
ctx.body = 'Error';
return;
}
let svg: string | undefined;
try {
const font = await loadFontInArrayBuffer();
svg = await satori(
<div style={{ width: 1200, height: 630 }}>
<h1>{paymentLink.title}</h1>
</div>,
{
fonts: [
{
name: 'Font',
data: font,
style: 'normal',
weight: 400,
},
],
});
ctx.set('Content-Type', 'image/png');
ctx.status = 200;
ctx.body = svg;
catch (err) {
ctx.status = 400;
ctx.body = err;
}
}
```
I'll explain to you what we're doing here:
1. We're finding and validating if the `paymentLink` really exists.
2. Satori requires at least 1 font loaded as an array buffer, so we're loading one here. In that case, you can follow your preferrable way to do it. Load a font from Google Fonts, get it from local assets, and do what you prefer here.
3. We're calling the `satori` function that will render the SVG for us based on the JSX that we pass (under the hood, they're converting it into an object).
Just a specific detail about CSS on Satori. Satori under the hood uses Yoga to render things, so they can't accept the entire set of CSS rules, just a subset of them. You can see [here](https://github.com/vercel/satori?tab=readme-ov-file#css) all the rules that are being accepted by them.
If everything goes right, you can access this endpoint and validate that the SVG has been right rendered for you.
If necessary, you will need to return it as an image by itself. For that, we can use the [`sharp`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/sharp) to handle it for yourself. See the example below:
```tsx
const svg = await satori(); // render the svg
const img = await sharp(Buffer.from(utf8.decode(svg)))
.png()
.toBuffer()
```
## Adding the metatag on HTML
Now that you already rendered the new OG, you will need to add this into your HTML to ensure that all crawlers will get it.
For that, you just need to add two new tags to your `<head>` tag. See below:
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<meta property='og:image' content="https://yoururl.com/api/link/og/<dynamic-payment-link-id>.png" />
<meta property='twitter:image' content="https://yoururl.com/api/link/og/<dynamic-payment-link-id>.png" />
</head>
<!-- ... -->
```
As already commented in another post, [we render our entire payment link using an SSR strategy](https://dev.to/woovi/server-side-rendering-ssr-from-scratch-with-react-19jm), so we can insert the `<dynamic-payment-link-id>` properly just getting their identifier. You'll need to validate what is the better way to do it by your side.
Both `og:image` and `twitter: image` metatags will ensure that the new OG image will be rendered in all social media and chats.
## Conclusion
With that implementation, we go from that old QR code that was being rendered to our customers, to this new one below:
With that new OG, we can: get the merchant's name, how much the customer will pay for them, the expiration date, and the QR code in a more readable way.
Further, by the fact that this is dynamically rendered, we can improve our OGs in runtime to render other states like payment link paid, expired, and different scenarios too.
This is how powerful OGs can be in general.

1,902,183 | Why Is Next.Js 15 Revolutionizing Web App Development? | NextJS 15 Release Candidate (RC) introduces a range of new features & improvements aimed at... | 0 | 2024-06-27T12:16:13 | https://www.solutelabs.com/blog/nextjs15-update | nextjs, webappdevelopment, webdev | NextJS 15 Release Candidate (RC) introduces a range of new features & improvements aimed at enhancing the development experience and performance of web applications. This release builds on the strengths of the previous version while at the same time introducing innovative capabilities that promise to streamline workflows and optimize application performance. Below is a detailed overview of the key updates in NextJS 15 RC.
## What is NextJS?
Next.js is an open-source web development framework built on top of ReactJS library, that enables the creation of high-performance, scalable applications with Server-Side Rendering (SSR), Static Site Generation (SSG), Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR), simplified routing, image optimization, code splitting, middleware, etc.
Developed and maintained by Vercel, Next.js simplifies the development process by providing a standard structure and built-in solutions for common web development challenges, allowing NextJS development company to focus on writing code in React rather than configuring tools.
##What's New with NextJs 15 RC
To try the latest NextJS 15 use the following command:
`npm install next@rc react@rc react-dom@rc`
Exciting news for NextJS developers looking to jumpstart their next project! The CLI tool now includes a handy new --empty flag to strip away all the extra fluff. With a single command, you can generate a pristine, minimal "Hello World" page as your starting point.:
`npx create-next-app@rc --empty`
###Support for React 19 RC
Next.js 15 RC fully supports React 19 RC, including the new React Compiler, which is currently in an experimental phase. This integration promises significant performance enhancements and more efficient hydration error handling. The React Compiler aims to optimize code automatically, reducing the need for manual optimizations using hooks like *useMemo* and *useCallback*
###Revamped Caching Strategies
Introduced configurable invalidation periods in Next.js 14.2 with *staleTimes* for client-side router cache, allowing NextJS developers to control cache invalidation more precisely. One of the major changes in Next.js 15 RC is the overhaul of caching strategies. *fetch* requests, *GET* route handlers, and client-side navigations are no longer cached by default.
This change ensures that the data served is always fresh, reducing the chances of displaying outdated information to users. NextJS development company now have more control over caching behaviors, allowing for more precise optimization of application performance.
To enable caching for specific requests, you can use the cache: '*force-cache*' option:
`fetch('https://...', { cache: 'force-cache' });`
###Partial Prerendering (Experimental)
Next.js 15 introduces an experimental feature called Partial Prerendering (PPR). Building upon the foundations laid in Next.js 14, PPR allows developers to incrementally adopt a hybrid rendering approach.
With PPR, you can wrap dynamic UI components in a Suspense boundary and opt-in specific Layouts and Pages for partial prerendering. When a request comes in, Next.js will immediately serve a static HTML shell and then render and stream the dynamic parts in the same HTTP request. To enable PPR, set the *experimental.ppr* config option to '*incremental*' in *next.config.js*:
```
const nextConfig = {
experimental: {
ppr: 'incremental',
},
};
module.exports = nextConfig;
```
Once all segments have PPR enabled, you can set *ppr* to *true* to enable it for the entire application.
###New next/after API (Experimental)
The *next/after* API is another experimental feature in Next.js 15 RC. This feature enables developers to perform secondary tasks or cleanup operations without blocking the primary response. This addition provides more flexibility in handling post-response logic, allowing for cleaner and more efficient code management. Potential use cases include analytics logging, resource cleanup, or additional data fetching after the initial response.
To use it, add *experimental.after* to *next.config.js*:
```
const nextConfig = {
experimental: {
after: true,
},
};
module.exports = nextConfig;
```
Here's an example of how to use *next/after:*
```
import { unstable_after as after } from 'next/server';
export default function Layout({ children }) {
// Secondary task
after(() => {
console.log('Response finished streaming');
});
// Primary task
return <>{children}</>;
}
```
###create-next-app Updates
The create-next-app tool, used for generating new Next.js projects, has received a fresh new design in Next.js 15 RC. Additionally, it now includes a flag to enable Turbopack (defaults to No).
Turbopack is a high-performance JavaScript bundler [designed to replace Webpack](https://nextjs.org/docs/architecture/turbopack), offering faster build times and an improved development workflow. This update simplifies the setup process and enhances the overall development experience.
To enable Turbopack:
```
"scripts": {
"dev": "next dev --turbo",
"build": "next build",
"start": "next start",
"lint": "next lint"
}
```
###Bundling External Packages (Stable)
Next.js 15 introduces stable configuration options for optimizing the bundling of external packages in both the App Router and Pages Router. These improvements aim to enhance cold-start performance and provide developers with more control over how external dependencies are included in their applications.
###Hydration Error Improvements
Hydration errors, which occur due to mismatches between server-rendered and client-rendered content, have been a common issue in Next.js. Building upon the enhancements made in Next.js 14.1, Next.js 15 further improves the NextJS developer experience when encountering hydration errors. The hydration error view now includes more informative error messages, source code snippets, and suggestions for resolving the issues, making debugging more efficient.
##Final Thoughts
While Next.js 15 RC is not yet the official major release, companies and developers should not wait to explore its potential. Embracing the opportunity to experiment and test new features in the Next.Js 15 RC version allows for a smoother transition and faster adoption once the official release is available. By getting a head start with Next.js 15 RC, you'll be well-prepared to leverage its full capabilities.
Next.js 15 Release Candidate brings a wealth of new features & improvements to the existing system that empower the Next.js development company to build high-performance, dynamic web applications with ease. From React 19 RC support to caching updates, partial prerendering, & developer experience enhancements, this Next.js 15 release sets the stage for the future of Next.js development.
As always, it's of utmost importance to carefully evaluate these new features, test them thoroughly, & provide feedback to the Next.js team. By collaborating with the [community](https://nextjs.org/docs/community), we can shape the direction of Next.js & create even more powerful & efficient web applications.

**Introduction
**
In the rapidly evolving digital economy, tokens have emerged as a crucial element, facilitating transactions and representing assets on the blockchain. But what exactly is the process for developing a token? This article dives deep into the step-by-step journey of creating a token, exploring everything from pre-development considerations to deployment and beyond.
Understanding Tokens
What is a Token?
A token, in the context of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, is a digital asset that represents a specific utility or value within a particular ecosystem. Unlike coins, which operate independently on their own blockchains (like Bitcoin or Ethereum), tokens rely on existing blockchains, leveraging their infrastructure to function. For example, **[BEP-20 token development ](https://www.clarisco.com/bep20-token-development)**refers to the creation of tokens on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) using the BEP-20 standard, which is designed to facilitate a wide range of applications and functionalities within the BSC ecosystem.
Pre-Development Considerations
Defining the Purpose of the Token
Before getting into the details, it's important to clarify the purpose of your token. What problem does it solve? How does it add value to the ecosystem? Having a clear vision ensures the token's relevance and utility.
Regulatory Compliance and Legal Aspects
Navigating the legal landscape is a critical step in token development. Ensure that your token complies with relevant regulations, which vary by jurisdiction. Engaging with legal experts can help avoid potential legal pitfalls.
Market Research and Feasibility Study
Conduct thorough market research to understand the demand for your token. Analyze competitors, identify potential users, and assess the market size. A feasibility study will help determine if the token development project is viable.
Development Phase
Coding the Token
Write the code for your token, incorporating all planned features and specifications. Utilize open-source libraries and frameworks to streamline the development process.
Integrating with the Chosen Blockchain
Deploy your token on the selected blockchain network. Ensure seamless integration by following the blockchain's deployment procedures and guidelines.
Testing the Token in Testnet
Before going live, test your token in a testnet environment. This allows you to identify and resolve issues in a controlled setting, ensuring a smooth launch.
Deployment Phase
Mainnet Deployment
Deploy your token on the mainnet, making it accessible to users and investors. Follow the deployment steps meticulously to avoid errors.
Initial Distribution Methods
ICO (Initial Coin Offering): Raise funds by selling tokens to early investors.
IEO (Initial Exchange Offering): Partner with a cryptocurrency exchange to facilitate token sales.
Airdrops: Distribute tokens for free to promote awareness and attract users.
**Conclusion:
**
Developing a token is a multifaceted process that requires careful planning, technical expertise, and continuous improvement. Engaging a **[Token Development Company](https://www.clarisco.com/token-development-company)** can provide valuable support in navigating this complex landscape. From defining the token's purpose to navigating regulatory compliance and ensuring security, each step is crucial for success. As the digital economy evolves, staying informed about trends and best practices will help you create valuable and impactful tokens. | elena_marie_dad5c9d5d5706 |
1,902,508 | How to Improve AirPods Battery Life: Tips and Solutions | AirPods have become a staple for many, offering convenience and quality in a compact form. However,... | 0 | 2024-06-27T12:10:12 | https://dev.to/marandagarner21/how-to-improve-airpods-battery-life-tips-and-solutions-4h07 | AirPods have become a staple for many, offering convenience and quality in a compact form. However, like all battery-powered devices, their performance can dwindle over time. Maximizing the battery life of your AirPods ensures you get the most out of your investment. Here are some practical tips and solutions to help you extend the battery life of your AirPods.
## 1. Optimize Charging Habits
Charging your AirPods properly is crucial for maintaining battery health. Avoid letting the battery drain completely before charging. Instead, aim to keep the battery level between 20% and 80%. Overcharging can also degrade the battery, so it's best to unplug your AirPods once they're fully charged.
## 2. Use One AirPod at a Time
If you're not in a situation that requires stereo sound, consider using just one AirPod at a time. This can effectively double your listening time, as you can switch between the two [**AirPods**](https://guruhitech.com/apple-airpods-con-display-touch-indiscrezioni-sul-nuovo-design/) when one runs out of battery. This is particularly useful during calls or when listening to podcasts.
## 3. Enable Automatic Ear Detection
AirPods come with a feature called Automatic Ear Detection, which pauses playback when you remove them from your ears. Ensure this setting is enabled to avoid unnecessary battery drain when you're not using them. To check, go to Settings > Bluetooth > [Your AirPods] > Automatic Ear Detection on your iPhone.
## 4. Turn Off Unused Features
Features like noise cancellation (on AirPods Pro) and transparency mode can drain the battery faster. If you don't need these features, consider turning them off. Additionally, disabling Siri's "Hey Siri" function can also help conserve battery life. You can turn off "Hey Siri" by going to Settings > Siri & Search and toggling off "Listen for 'Hey Siri'."
## 5. Keep Software Updated
Apple regularly releases firmware updates that can improve battery performance and fix bugs. Ensure your AirPods are always running the latest firmware. To check if your AirPods are up to date, connect them to your iPhone and go to Settings > General > About > AirPods.
## 6. Store AirPods Properly
When you're not using your AirPods, always store them in their charging case. This not only protects them from damage but also ensures they're charging for the next use. Leaving AirPods out of the case when not in use can cause them to lose battery life faster.
## 7. Avoid Extreme Temperatures
Exposure to extreme temperatures can negatively affect the battery life of your AirPods. Try to keep them in environments where the temperature is between 0° and 35° C (32° to 95° F). Avoid leaving them in a hot car or under direct sunlight for extended periods.
## 8. Monitor Battery Health
Over time, batteries naturally degrade. To monitor the battery health of your AirPods, use the Battery widget on your iPhone. This can give you a quick overview of the battery levels of your AirPods and their case. If you notice significant drops in battery performance, it may be time to replace the batteries or consider new AirPods.
## Conclusion
Maintaining and extending the battery life of your AirPods requires a combination of good charging practices, optimal usage, and regular maintenance. By following these tips, you can ensure that your AirPods continue to deliver the excellent performance you expect, making your listening experience seamless and enjoyable. Proper care not only enhances battery longevity but also maximizes the overall lifespan of your AirPods, providing you with reliable and convenient audio solutions for years to come. | marandagarner21 | |
1,902,477 | How to Manage Terraform Locals | What are Terraform Locals All programming languages have a way to express and store values... | 0 | 2024-06-27T12:10:00 | https://www.env0.com/blog/how-to-manage-terraform-locals | terraform, devops, cloud, cloudcomputing | **What are Terraform Locals**
-----------------------------
All programming languages have a way to express and store values within the context of a code block. In the case of Terraform configurations, that functionality is delivered through Terraform local values. These allow you to define temporary values and then reference them elsewhere in the configuration.
Local values – often called “locals” or “Terraform local variables” – can be used to store an expression that will be referenced multiple times, perform data transformation from other sources, or store static values to be used in the configuration.
Locals are one of three varieties of [Terraform variables](https://www.env0.com/blog/terraform-variables) that can be used to request or public values, with the other two being “input variables” and “output values.” In this post, we'll examine how to define local values, how they differ from input variables, and common uses for locals.
**How to Implement Terraform Locals**
-------------------------------------
Defining local values in Terraform code is done using a locals block, with each local assigned a name and value in the format of a key-value pair. The following code creates a local value called `environment` and assigns it the string value `development`.
locals {
environment = "development"
}
Locals can be assigned any valid Terraform data type, such as a `string`, `list`, `map`, or `object`. The actual values can come from input variables, resource attributes, or other local values defined in the configuration.
locals {
environment = "development"
server_list = ["web", "app", "db"]
subnet_map = {
web = var.web_subnet
app = var.app_subnet
db = var.db_subnet
}
}
A `locals` block is also useful for composing expressions for values that will be used elsewhere in the configuration, including in both ternary and `for` expressions. The following example sets the DNS value to the load balancer `fqdn` if a load balancer is being created, and to the `fqdn` of a virtual machine otherwise.
locals {
dns_entry = var.create_load_balancer ?
azurerm_public_ip.lb.fqdn : azurerm_public_ip.vm.fqdn
}
A `for` expression could be used to create a local value for naming resources. The code below would add a naming prefix input variable to the beginning of each server in the list.
locals {
server_list = ["web", "app", "db"]
server_names = [ for svr in local.server_list : "${var.prefix}-${svr}" ]
}
The `locals` block can appear multiple times in a Terraform configuration, so long as each local value has a unique name within the configuration.
Some organizations prefer to define all their locals in a single `locals` block stored in a dedicated **locals.tf** file, while others will use multiple locals blocks, placing each close to the resources and data sources referencing it.
The value stored in a local is referenced with the local keyword followed by the name of the local. The following code makes use of the `server_names` and `environment` locals in an Azure VM.
resource "azurerm_linux_virtual_machine" "web" {
name = local.server_names[0]
#...
tags = {
environment = local.environment
}
}
Locals defined in a Terraform module are only available within the scope of that module. For instance, the local value named `environment` that is defined in the root module cannot be referenced directly by a child module.
Additionally, locals defined in the child module are not directly available to the parent module. Locals follow the same scoping principles as input variables, resources, and data sources.
**Terraform Locals vs. Input Variables**
----------------------------------------
While Terraform input variables and local values might sound very similar, there are some key differences to keep in mind when selecting which construct to use.
### **Input Variables**
* Dynamic values defined at run time
* Values cannot come from other configuration sources
* Default value can be overridden
### **Local Values**
* Defined by an internal expression
* Can be assigned any valid Terraform expression
* Can be assigned static values
In most other programming languages, input variables would instead be called “parameters” and local values would simply be called “variables.”
If you are coming from another programming language, that may be a helpful mental framework to apply when thinking about whether to use an input variable or local value.
Generally, if you need to be able to change the value of a placeholder at runtime, you should use an input variable. If you simply need a reusable expression or need to perform data transformation, you should use a local value.
**Examples of Terraform Locals**
--------------------------------
Let's walk through a few common examples of how and when Terraform locals might be used.
### **1. Reusing a Value**
Locals allow you to define a value once and reuse it throughout the configuration. For instance, we can use a local value to define a set of common tags for your resources based on input variables.
locals {
common_tags = {
environment = var.environment
project = var.project
billing = var.billingcode
}
}
resource "azurerm_resource_group" "main" {
...
tags = local.common_tags
}
By defining the common tags in a `locals` block, it is simple to add a new tag to all resources with having to update every `tags` argument in every resource block.
Another common use case is establishing a standard naming convention for all resources in a configuration. The Cloud Posse [terraform-null-label module](https://registry.terraform.io/modules/cloudposse/label/null/latest) makes extensive use of locals for exactly that purpose.
### **2. Data Transformation**
Locals can also be used to transform data before it is passed on in the configuration. For instance, you could use a local variable and a for expression to update the values in a list.
locals {
env_config_list = [ for item in var.config_list : "${local.environment}-${item}"
}
Even if the local value isn't going to be used multiple times, performing the data transformation in a `locals` block can help make other configuration blocks easier to read. Locals can also be used as an intermediary step in data transformation, to simplify code updates for future maintainers.
### **3. Constant Values**
Unlike input variables, locals don't accept input values, so they can be used to set static constants in the configuration that can only be updated by altering the code itself. For instance, the code below establishes default ports for a web application.
locals {
web_app_ports = ["8080", "8443"]
}
If someone wishes to alter the port list, they will need to go through the code change process, rather than changing the input variable values submitted during a Terraform run. Using locals helps code maintainers view all the configuration values in a single place, while not allowing consumers of the configuration to change values easily.
**Conclusion**
--------------
Locals in Terraform configuration files construct reusable values to be referenced throughout a configuration. Values can be assigned to locals from input variables, resources, data sources, and other related local values.
Local values are a core component of Terraform and are also supported on the new open-source project [OpenTofu](https://opentofu.org/). OpenTofu is intended to be a drop-in replacement for existing Terraform deployments, and its support of locals is one example of its interoperability.

Device manufacturers are able to customize it according to their requirements and use it freely without the need for licenses and royalties. Manufacturers choose Android due to this flexibility, which has resulted in the rapid expansion of the Android ecosystem.
Android app development refers to developing software applications that use the Android operating system. App development focuses on coding, testing, and debugging applications. Android apps are written using languages like Kotlin, Java and C++. Depending on the project’s needs and preferences, developers choose a language for Android app development. Here are the top 5 programming languages used for Android app development.
## 1. Java
Java is the most sought-after language for Android app development. Many apps in the Google play store are built using Java. Its compatibility with any operating system equipped with a compatible Java Virtual Machine (JVM) speaks about its popularity.
Java is one of the first true cross-platform languages with its write-once, run-anywhere approach. Java’s biggest advantage is its security and stability. The virtual machine provides an additional layer of security that prevents any malicious code from being executed. This layer enhances performance through features like memory management.
## 2. Kotlin
Kotlin is derived from Java but with significant improvements. The most notable improvement is its conciseness. It is not as verbose as Java and allows developers to implement ideas with fewer lines of code. When a Java code is rewritten in Kotlin, the length of the code reduces by almost 40%. The best thing about Kotlin is its interoperability with Java, as Kotlin code is compiled into bytecode that also runs in the JVM.
Kotlin has both object-oriented and functional constructs. With excellent support for features like higher-order functions, function types, and lambdas, Kotlin is a great choice for developers who are doing or exploring functional programming. It boosts productivity, developer satisfaction and code safety.
## 3. C++
C++ is one of the most powerful and versatile languages today. It’s used to build everything from cutting-edge 3D games to operating systems. If the program is complex and advanced, chances are developers will build it with C++. However, C++ isn’t a native Android language. To use it, you’ll need to convert the code using the Android Native Development Kit (NDK). This allows your Java or Kotlin code to access the converted C++ code.
C++ is a supplement to Android languages but one of the fastest programming languages ever.
It’s often used to implement performance-critical components, like game engines, real-time audio, and computationally intensive tasks. Unlike Java, C++ is compiled into machine code that runs directly on the device without runtime machines or interpreters. The lack of an intermediary reduces overhead significantly, making it execute faster.
## 4. Dart
Dart is Google's cross-platform mobile app development tool. One of Dart’s greatest strengths is that it is very easy to learn. Dart uses English-like syntax that’s intuitive to read and understand, similar to modern languages like C# or Javascript. Thus, Dart makes for an easy switch for an expert or a great gateway for the beginner.
One of the most powerful features of Dart is the hot reload. This capability allows developers to edit the code and see changes in real-time. This speeds up development dramatically by eliminating the time-consuming write-compile-test-edit cycle. Dart is very fast for a cross-platform language because Dart code is compiled into native Android code, resulting in good performance and smooth animations.
## 5. Python
Python is a versatile app development language known for its simplicity and readability. It powers renowned platforms like Netflix, Reddit and Uber. Its cross-platform capabilities ensure smooth operation across various systems and devices. Python’s support for multi-threading enhances concurrent request management and overall performance. Its clean and user-friendly syntax is beginner-friendly, making it a great choice for newcomers to programming.
The robust community support provides a wealth of resources for addressing inquiries during the app development process. Its interpreted nature enables rapid prototyping and testing, appealing to both beginners and experts.
The choice of mobile app development language depends on several factors, such as project requirements, target platforms, and developer expertise. By carefully evaluating the strengths and limitations of each language and considering the specific needs of their projects, developers can make informed decisions that lead to the [creation of exceptional mobile app experiences](https://www.isquarebs.com/mobile-app-development/). | deerapandey |
1,902,504 | I Created a Web App with hono Where Everyone Can Knead Clay Together | Introduction You want to create an app where you can see everyone's reactions in... | 0 | 2024-06-27T12:08:36 | https://dev.to/hideyuki_hori/i-created-a-web-app-with-hono-where-everyone-can-knead-clay-together-4amm | typescript, cloudflarechallenge, hono, rxjs | # Introduction
You want to create an app where you can see everyone's reactions in real-time, right?
On various social media platforms like X and Instagram, a number appears on notifications when there's some action.
It's the same with Slack and Chatwork. When you're mentioned, a number appears on the channel.
Monster Hunter is incredible.
Up to four players hunt the same monster, and you can check where everyone is in real-time.
When you're being chased by Diablos, running away half in tears, and you see that a player who's supposed to be fighting alongside you hasn't moved from the base or is clearly busy gathering materials, you feel frustrated.
To implement this kind of real-time communication, I found several methods:
- WebSocket
- WebRTC
- SSE (Server-Sent Events)
# I Want to Try WebSocket
I actually wanted to try WebRTC, but I gave up because I couldn't set up my own STUN server.
If I get the chance, I'd like to try [WebRTC SFU Sora](https://gist.github.com/voluntas/e914aa245fc26f3133c2) provided by Shiguredo.
I looked at the [SSE sample from hono](https://hono.dev/docs/helpers/streaming), but I got the impression that it can receive data from the server when some kind of stream is open? I couldn't imagine using SSE for requirements where the start timing couldn't be unified, so I gave up.
So, through a process of passive elimination, I decided to use WebSocket.
# What Kind of App Did I Create?
From the names Cloudflare and hono, I wanted to create something with a "fire"-related name and came up with an app called VOYA.
I was thinking of an app where everyone sets fire to houses, and you could react with "Nice VOYA" to places that caught fire.
While playing with shaders, I accidentally created something that looked like kneading clay, so I thought it might be interesting if everyone could knead clay together.
Thinking about it now, I realize "it's a one-trick pony and in poor taste."
I'm glad I didn't go through with it...
https://github.com/hideyuki-hori/clayish
I named it "Clayish" because it's clay-like.
I was struggling with the color scheme, but when I consulted with my colleague, designer [Minami](https://www.instagram.com/minamocat.work/), she suggested a very cute color scheme.
When I had my colleagues play with it, they said it looks like the profile of Murasaki Shikibu.
That's quite refined~~~~~
# Using Cloudflare
Cloudflare has been catching my eye a lot recently.
Cloudflare is a Cloud Function with R2 (storage), D1 (DB), and KV.
They also have Queue and AI features.
And above all, it's cheap!
You can use it for $5 with the Workers paid plan.
With services like EC2 and ECS, if you have some server knowledge, you can create something that works for the time being.
However, to design according to the cloud vendor's methods, you need advanced knowledge to estimate access numbers, calculate server specs, and select options.
There's also a lot of work outside the domain, like server updates.
Even with auto-scaling, you need to carefully calculate based on load test results to set thresholds and configure it to withstand momentary access spikes.
While we don't need to consider all of this for this app, I found these points about Cloudflare Workers attractive:
- Automatic global deployment to hundreds of data centers
- Maintenance-free infrastructure with automatic scaling
- High-performance runtime without cold starts
[Reference](https://www.cloudflare.com/ja-jp/plans/developer-platform/)
# Using hono
I love how it's designed to use native features as much as possible.
For example, different frameworks have their own unique properties for Requests, and I often find myself thinking, "Please just let me write it normally."
While I "like new things but don't want to introduce newness to invariant things," I found many aspects of hono's architecture that I could relate to, and I felt very happy while working with it.
Also, by combining it with vite, jsx works on both server-side and client-side, and there are React-like hooks, so you can create interactive apps.
It also has the necessary features to make it as SSG as possible, and I think by combining it with KV, which stores data collected at certain times like aggregate data, you can design with reduced costs.
There are four menu buttons at the bottom.
From left to right:
- Rotate the object
- Pull the clay
- Push the clay
- Change color and brush size
Among these, whenever these events occur:
- Pull the clay
- Push the clay
They are broadcast via WebSocket and the same operation is reflected on the clay opened by other people.
# About WebSocket Implementation
To hold the WebSocket instance across requests, we use DurableObjects.
JavaScript objects can be shared as is, so it's very easy to use, but there's a bit of a trick to the implementation.
## 1. Configure wrangler.toml
The implementation of DurableObjects uses `class`.
Add the following content to `wrangler.toml`, which describes the Cloudflare worker settings:
```toml
[[durable_objects.bindings]]
class_name = "WebSocketConnection"
name = "WEBSOCKET"
[[migrations]]
new_classes = ["WebSocketConnection"]
tag = "v1" # Should be unique for each entry
```
`class_name = "WebSocketConnection"` is linked to the actual JavaScript class name.
`name = "WEBSOCKET"` is set so that DurableObjects can be accessed through `c.env.WEBSOCKET` from within the worker code.
## 2. Env Configuration
To access WEBSOCKET within the Hono instance, define the type:
```ts
Copyimport type { DurableObjectNamespace } from '@cloudflare/workers-types'
type Env = {
Bindings: {
WEBSOCKET: DurableObjectNamespace
}
}
```
## 3. Define DurableObjects
Here's the implementation of DurableObjects.
I'm in the camp of wanting to write interfaces as much as possible, so I've written it, but it works without it too.
Perhaps because I've written `"types": ["@cloudflare/workers-types"]` in tsconfig.json, I can use the DurableObject interface without importing it.
Rather, if I write `import type { DurableObject } from '@cloudflare/workers-types'`, it results in an error for some reason.
```ts
export class WebSocketConnection implements DurableObject {
private readonly sessions = new Set<WebSocket>()
async fetch(request: Request) {
if (request.headers.get('Upgrade') !== 'websocket') {
return new Response('Expected WebSocket', { status: 426 })
}
const pair = new WebSocketPair()
const [client, server] = Object.values(pair)
await this.handleSession(server as WebSocket)
return new Response(null, {
status: 101,
webSocket: client,
})
}
private async handleSession(webSocket: WebSocket): Promise<void> {
(webSocket as any).accept()
this.sessions.add(webSocket)
webSocket.addEventListener('message', async (event: MessageEvent) => {
this.sessions.forEach((session) => session.readyState === WebSocket.OPEN && session.send(event.data))
})
webSocket.addEventListener('close', async (event: CloseEvent) => {
this.sessions.delete(webSocket)
})
}
}
```
`fetch` is called for each request.
I'm not sure if the WebSocket type isn't being used correctly, but writing `webSocket.accept()` results in an error.
I feel defeated, but I used an any cast.
Worker Implementation
Then I implemented the Worker.
hono has a helper called upgradeWebSocket, but I couldn't get it to work properly (maybe I was doing something wrong), so I implemented it like this:
```ts
const app = new Hono<Env>()
.use('/*', serveStatic({ root: './', manifest: {} }))
// @ts-ignore
.get('/ws', c => {
const upgradeHeader = c.req.header('Upgrade')
if (upgradeHeader !== 'websocket') {
return c.text('Expected WebSocket', 426)
}
const id = c.env.WEBSOCKET.idFromName('websocket')
const connection = c.env.WEBSOCKET.get(id)
// @ts-ignore
return connection.fetch(c.req.raw)
})
```
I was defeated at `.get('/ws', c => {` and also at `return connection.fetch(c.req.raw)`.
I thought, "My app works when I add @ts-ignore."
In other samples, it works with connection.fetch(c.req.raw)... maybe it's because of a different version?
This sample has a very easy-to-understand and concise WebSocket implementation, which was very helpful.
https://github.com/eduardvercaemer/showcase-hono-htmx-chatroom
# Client
Initially, I was writing the client in hono too, but for some reason, I couldn't get WebSocket to work through the vite server with hono, so I decided to separate the client.
Since the client was almost complete, I looked for something as close to hono's jsx as possible.
Since hono's jsx uses use*, I thought about using React, but I remember seeing somewhere that hono doesn't use a virtual DOM, so I chose solid, which also manipulates the real DOM.
For styling, I used solid-styled-components, which is similar to the css helper I was using.
Basically, it's built on RxJS.
It was very easy to implement mouse operations, so it was very easy to create.
I also like that I don't have to look at solidjs's state to get brush size and color changes.
```ts
dragging$.pipe(
withLatestFrom(toolUpdated$.pipe(startWith<Tool>('rotate'))),
withLatestFrom(colorUpdated$.pipe(startWith<Color>(red))),
withLatestFrom(brushSizeUpdated$.pipe(startWith<number>(1))),
)
```
With just this, you can get the latest tool, color, and brushSize, which is nice.
However, breaking down the data in subscribe became complex, so I'd like to think about it again next time.
```ts
.subscribe(([[[interaction, tool], color], brushSize]) => {
})
```
By making each feature depend on RxJS streams, I was able to develop like this:
- Each feature can focus on its own role (when causing side effects, it issues a stream)
- App behavior can be centrally managed in client/src/app/flow.ts
# Client's WebSocket
This is how I'm doing it.
In the sample, it was characteristic to ping every 20000 milliseconds with setInterval.
I don't fully understand it, but I think it's periodically accessing to maintain the connection.
```ts
const ws = new WebSocket(
`${location.protocol === 'https:' ? 'wss:' : 'ws:'}//${location.host}/ws`
)
setInterval(() => ws.readyState === 1 && ws.send('ping'), 20000)
ws.addEventListener('message', (event) => {
try {
var json = JSON.parse(event.data)
} catch {
return
}
if (json.tool === 'pull') {
renderer.pull({
phase: json.phase,
x: json.x,
y: json.y,
brushSize: json.brushSize,
color: ColorClass.fromString(json.color),
})
} else if (json.tool === 'push') {
renderer.push({
phase: json.phase,
x: json.x,
y: json.y,
brushSize: json.brushSize,
color: ColorClass.fromString(json.color),
})
}
})
```
# Conclusion
I found DurableObjects' WebSocket very easy to use and felt that it could keep costs down.
I would like to continue thinking about how to develop more advanced apps using Cloudflare while keeping running costs down.

**Introduction
**
The backbone of Web Development lies in the backend, as it is the raw functionality and performance of the web applications. While front-end development gives the user interface an appealing look and interactivity, handling the server-side logic, data management, and API integration are some of the key responsibilities under the realm of backend development. Next, we will expose the art behind backend development: the important skills, tools, and best practices that enable a developer to make seamless and scalable web applications.
**The Role of Backend Development in Web Applications
**
The backbone, therefore, is the unsung hero in web development—a base on which front-end experiences are built. It processes user requests, manages data storage and retrieval, and ensures general stability and performance of the application. With a non-well-designed and implemented backend, even the most impressively appealing frontend falls short in functionality and on user experience.
**Understanding the Role of APIs in Web Development
**
Application Programming Interfaces are the backbones of modern web development, enabling seamless communication among various components of the web application and facilitating data interchange between different systems. Mastering the craft of API design and integration will afford the backend developer an opportunity to create a very powerful and flexible web application, one that changes with the change in the needs of its users and can be integrated with a wide range of external services and platforms.
**Description of Popular Backend Frameworks and Languages
**
The world of backend development is huge and miscellaneous; it harbors many programming languages and frameworks. The most popular ones are Node.js (JavaScript), Python (Django), Ruby (Ruby on Rails), and PHP (Laravel). Every language and framework has its strengths, features, and learning curves; therefore, a developer must choose the one that fits best in current project requirements and preferences of the team.
**Building Robust APIs with Node.js and Express
**
Node.js is a broadly used runtime environment for running JavaScript outside web browsers. Node.js, together with the Express framework, deeply forms an extremely strong and flexible platform for creating scalable and fast APIs. Developers can build quick, reliable, and maintainable AP-I using Node.js asynchronous nature and Express modular design.
**Scaling Backend Development with Python and Django
**
Python is a multi-use and readable programming language which has received large-scale applications in the field of backend development. A combination of the language with the Django framework makes Python robust, well-versed, and full of features in the development of scalable, secure, and robust web applications. It is due to the Django ideology of rapid development and practical design patterns that prefers it for remunerated complex web application development with little boilerplate code.
**Integrating Databases and Data Storage Solutions
**
Managing and retrieving data storage is part of a backend developer's core responsibilities. This will involve integration with databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB and the implementation of efficient strategies to query and manipulate data. Much the same, back-end developers have to be conversant with caching mechanisms like Redis or Memcached to enable application performance and scalability.
**Implementation of Authentication and Authorization Mechanisms
**
Security is one of the most important concerns in backend development, where robust authentication and authorization mechanisms are required in order to protect against attempts aiming at revealing user data, together with access control. A backend developer should be aware of concepts such as hashing, encryption, token-based authentication, good practices conceived against common security vulnerabilities, and how to deal with sensitive data.
**Deploying and Scaling Backend Applications
**
Once a backend application has been developed and tested, deployment into production is the next step in the process. Configuration of web servers, load balancers, and making the application scale with increasing traffic and user loads are some of the activities done at this stage. As part of this, backend developers should also be acquainted with containerization technologies like Docker and orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes to guarantee their applications can be readily deployed into production environments and scaled across multiple instances.
**Role of Web Development Courses in Chennai for Mastering Back-End
**
Because the demand for skilled back-end developers is on the rise, [web development courses in Chennai](https://bostoninstituteofanalytics.org/india/chennai/anna-nagar/school-of-technology-ai/full-stack-web-development/) are turning out to be an overwhelmingly critical tool for aspiring professionals eyeing mastery in this very important aspect of web development. They provide learners with a comprehensive curriculum covering all the most vital technologies and skills which constitute back-end development, such as programming languages, frameworks, databases, and deployment strategies. Through practical projects and studying with experienced instructors or experts in the industries, one gets to develop practical skills sufficient in making one successful in the world of backend development.
**Future Trends and Considerations
**
With the continuous change in the web development world, new challenges and considerations are going to emerge for backend developers. Trends in the rise of server less computing, microservices architectures, and especially real-time data processing will define the future of backend development. That will mean a need for the backend developer to keep pace with emerging trends and be ready to update his or her skills constantly to match up in the industry.
**Conclusion end
**
Essentially, web development integrates backend to provide the backbone for the system in building robust, scalable web applications. Emphasis on only the must-know skills, tools, and best practices in backend development helps a developer create seamless, efficient APIs that will set the base for front-end experiences to thrive/streamline. As the demand for skilled developers in the realm of web backends has been ever-increasing, one such web development course in Chennai can do much to provide aspiring professionals with the classic hallmarks of success in a dynamic, ever-evolving field. | jinesh_vora_ab4d7886e6a8d |
1,902,500 | Stripe Coupons, Promotional Codes, and Discounts, along with examples | Hello Folks, Here's a detailed explanation of Stripe Coupons, Promotional Codes, and Discounts, along... | 0 | 2024-06-27T12:07:59 | https://dev.to/manojgohel/stripe-coupons-promotional-codes-and-discounts-along-with-examples-3hhf | stripe, javascript, opensource, php | Hello Folks, Here's a detailed explanation of Stripe Coupons, Promotional Codes, and Discounts, along with examples to illustrate the differences between them.
### 1. Coupons
**Coupons** are reusable discount codes created in Stripe that can be applied to invoices or subscriptions. They can offer a percentage discount, a fixed amount off, or a free trial period. Coupons are generally created to be used by multiple customers.
**Example**: Creating a coupon in Stripe
```php
\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey('your_stripe_secret_key');
$coupon = \Stripe\Coupon::create([
'percent_off' => 25,
'duration' => 'once',
]);
echo 'Coupon ID: ' . $coupon->id;
```
This creates a coupon that gives a 25% discount for a single use.
### 2. Promotional Codes
**Promotional Codes** are codes that customers can enter to receive a discount. These codes are linked to Coupons in Stripe and can be limited to specific customers, products, or other criteria. Promotional Codes add an extra layer of control over how and when discounts are applied.
**Example**: Creating a promotional code for an existing coupon
```php
\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey('your_stripe_secret_key');
$promoCode = \Stripe\PromotionCode::create([
'coupon' => 'coupon_id', // The ID of the existing coupon
'code' => 'SUMMER21', // The promotional code customers will use
'restrictions' => [
'first_time_transaction' => true,
],
]);
echo 'Promotional Code ID: ' . $promoCode->id;
```
This creates a promotional code "SUMMER21" that applies the existing coupon only for first-time transactions.
### 3. Discounts
**Discounts** represent the actual application of a Coupon or Promotional Code to a customer’s invoice or subscription. Discounts are the realized reductions in price that customers see on their bills.
**Example**: Applying a coupon to a customer’s subscription
```php
\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey('your_stripe_secret_key');
$subscription = \Stripe\Subscription::create([
'customer' => 'customer_id',
'items' => [['price' => 'price_id']],
'coupon' => 'coupon_id', // Applying the coupon directly to the subscription
]);
echo 'Subscription ID: ' . $subscription->id;
```
This creates a subscription for a customer and applies the coupon to give the discount.
### Summary
- **Coupons** are reusable discount entities that can offer percentage discounts, fixed amounts off, or free trials.
- **Promotional Codes** are specific codes linked to coupons that customers can use to get a discount. They offer additional control and restrictions over coupon usage.
- **Discounts** are the actual reductions applied to customer invoices or subscriptions, reflecting the usage of Coupons or Promotional Codes.
### Example Workflow
1. **Create a Coupon**:
```php
$coupon = \Stripe\Coupon::create([
'percent_off' => 20,
'duration' => 'repeating',
'duration_in_months' => 3,
]);
```
2. **Create a Promotional Code for the Coupon**:
```php
$promoCode = \Stripe\PromotionCode::create([
'coupon' => $coupon->id,
'code' => 'WELCOME2024',
'restrictions' => [
'first_time_transaction' => true,
],
]);
```
3. **Apply the Promotional Code to a Customer’s Subscription**:
```php
$subscription = \Stripe\Subscription::create([
'customer' => 'customer_id',
'items' => [['price' => 'price_id']],
'promotion_code' => $promoCode->id,
]);
```
In this workflow:
- A coupon offers a 20% discount for the first 3 months.
- A promotional code "WELCOME2024" is created for the coupon, restricted to first-time transactions.
- The promotional code is applied to a customer’s subscription, resulting in a discount for the customer.
This structure allows you to manage and apply discounts in a flexible and controlled manner, tailoring promotions to specific customer needs and business goals. | manojgohel |
1,902,497 | My journey through programmatically creating Umbraco `stuff` | I've been meaning to start sharing my journey through programmatically creating every document type,... | 0 | 2024-06-27T12:07:54 | https://dev.to/jamietownsend/my-journey-through-programmatically-creating-umbraco-stuff-2d4a | umbraco | I've been meaning to start sharing my journey through programmatically creating every document type, data type and everything in-between programmatically via Umbraco Package Migrations. The reason for this is so that I can create isolated packages, which when installed create and configures everything needed for this package without any dependencies.
Think of this example, I want to give editors a new '**Carousel**' component they can add to the Block Grid. I would create a new Umbraco package, say as an RCL (Razor Class Lib) and include Umbraco Package Migrations, which in turn creates all of the data types, document types and then adds the new document type as an allowed Element of an Umbraco Grid.
Cool right? As this is using Umbraco Package Migrations this also gives us the ability to create new versions of the '**Carousel**' package and Umbraco handles everything for us.
I am aiming to share how this journey has gone, how I've tackled certain problems and cool things I find out along the way. With Umbraco 14 and a lot of this stuff being created via JS, this may well need to be rewritten/reworked but for the foreseeable future Umbraco 13 is where it's at and perhaps I'll share how I tackle migrating to Bellissima when the time comes!
Keep an eye out for my first post in this series coming soon.

1,901,750 | Python Collections | Lists in Python Lists are one of the most versatile and widely used data types in Python.... | 0 | 2024-06-27T11:58:50 | https://dev.to/harshm03/python-collections-33m1 | python, programming, beginners, tutorial | ### Lists in Python
Lists are one of the most versatile and widely used data types in Python. They allow you to store collections of items in a single variable. Here's everything you need to know about lists in Python.
#### Creating Lists
Lists are created by placing a comma-separated sequence of items within square brackets `[]`.
```python
# Creating a list of integers
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
# Creating a list of strings
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
# Creating a mixed data type list
mixed = [1, "hello", 3.14, True]
# Creating a nested list
nested = [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]
```
#### Accessing Elements
You can access elements of a list by using indexing. Indexing starts at 0.
```python
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(numbers[0]) # Output: 1
print(numbers[4]) # Output: 5
```
Negative indexing allows you to access elements from the end of the list.
```python
print(numbers[-1]) # Output: 5
print(numbers[-2]) # Output: 4
```
#### Slicing Lists
You can retrieve a part of a list by using slicing. The syntax for slicing is `list[start:stop:step]`.
```python
# Creating a list of numbers
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
# Slicing from index 2 to 5
print(numbers[2:6]) # Output: [3, 4, 5, 6]
# Slicing with step
print(numbers[::2]) # Output: [1, 3, 5, 7, 9]
# Slicing with negative step (reversing the list)
print(numbers[::-1]) # Output: [10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
```
#### Modifying Lists
Lists are mutable, meaning you can change their content.
```python
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
# Changing an element
numbers[0] = 10
print(numbers) # Output: [10, 2, 3, 4, 5]
# Changing a range of elements
numbers[1:3] = [20, 30]
print(numbers) # Output: [10, 20, 30, 4, 5]
```
#### List Concatenation
You can concatenate two or more lists using the `+` operator.
```python
list1 = [1, 2, 3]
list2 = [4, 5, 6]
combined = list1 + list2
print(combined) # Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
```
#### List Comprehensions
List comprehensions provide a concise way to create lists. It consists of brackets containing an expression followed by a `for` clause, then zero or more `for` or `if` clauses.
```python
# Creating a list of squares
squares = [x**2 for x in range(10)]
print(squares) # Output: [0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81]
# Filtering with list comprehensions
even_squares = [x**2 for x in range(10) if x % 2 == 0]
print(even_squares) # Output: [0, 4, 16, 36, 64]
```
#### Iterating Over Lists
You can iterate over the elements of a list using a `for` loop.
```python
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
for fruit in fruits:
print(fruit)
# Output:
# apple
# banana
# cherry
```
#### Checking Membership
You can check if an item exists in a list using the `in` keyword.
```python
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print("apple" in fruits) # Output: True
print("grape" in fruits) # Output: False
```
#### List Length
You can get the number of items in a list using the `len()` function.
```python
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print(len(fruits)) # Output: 3
```
#### Copying Lists
Copying a list can be done in several ways. It's important to note that simply using the assignment operator (`=`) does not create a copy but rather a reference to the same list.
```python
# Using slicing
original = [1, 2, 3]
copy = original[:]
print(copy) # Output: [1, 2, 3]
# Using the list() function
copy = list(original)
print(copy) # Output: [1, 2, 3]
# Using the copy() method (Python 3.3+)
copy = original.copy()
print(copy) # Output: [1, 2, 3]
```
#### Nesting Lists
Lists can contain other lists, allowing you to create complex data structures like matrices.
```python
matrix = [
[1, 2, 3],
[4, 5, 6],
[7, 8, 9]
]
# Accessing nested list elements
print(matrix[0][1]) # Output: 2
```
#### Unpacking Lists
You can unpack lists into variables directly.
```python
numbers = [1, 2, 3]
a, b, c = numbers
print(a, b, c) # Output: 1 2 3
# Extended unpacking (Python 3.0+)
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
a, *b, c = numbers
print(a, b, c) # Output: 1 [2, 3, 4] 5
```
### Lists Methods in Python
#### Adding Elements
**`append`**
- Appends an item to the end of the list.
- **Syntax**: `list.append(item)`
```python
numbers = [1, 2, 3]
numbers.append(4)
print(numbers) # Output: [1, 2, 3, 4]
```
**`extend`**
- Extends the list by appending all the items from the iterable.
- **Syntax**: `list.extend(iterable)`
```python
numbers = [1, 2, 3]
numbers.extend([4, 5])
print(numbers) # Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
```
**`insert`**
- Inserts an item at a given position.
- **Syntax**: `list.insert(index, item)`
```python
numbers = [1, 2, 3]
numbers.insert(1, 1.5)
print(numbers) # Output: [1, 1.5, 2, 3]
```
#### Removing Elements
**`remove`**
- Removes the first item from the list whose value is equal to the specified value.
- **Syntax**: `list.remove(item)`
```python
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 2]
numbers.remove(2)
print(numbers) # Output: [1, 3, 2]
```
**`pop`**
- Removes and returns the item at the given position. If no index is specified, it removes and returns the last item.
- **Syntax**: `list.pop([index])`
```python
numbers = [1, 2, 3]
last_item = numbers.pop()
print(last_item) # Output: 3
print(numbers) # Output: [1, 2]
first_item = numbers.pop(0)
print(first_item) # Output: 1
print(numbers) # Output: [2]
```
**`clear`**
- Removes all items from the list.
- **Syntax**: `list.clear()`
```python
numbers = [1, 2, 3]
numbers.clear()
print(numbers) # Output: []
```
#### Information About the List
**`count`**
- Returns the number of times the specified item appears in the list.
- **Syntax**: `list.count(item)`
```python
numbers = [1, 2, 2, 3]
count_twos = numbers.count(2)
print(count_twos) # Output: 2
```
**`index`**
- Returns the index of the first item whose value is equal to the specified value.
- **Syntax**: `list.index(item, [start, [end]])`
```python
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 2]
index_of_two = numbers.index(2)
print(index_of_two) # Output: 1
index_of_two_from_2 = numbers.index(2, 2)
print(index_of_two_from_2) # Output: 3
```
#### Copying and Reversing
**`copy`**
- Returns a shallow copy of the list.
- **Syntax**: `list.copy()`
```python
numbers = [1, 2, 3]
numbers_copy = numbers.copy()
print(numbers_copy) # Output: [1, 2, 3]
```
**`reverse`**
- Reverses the elements of the list in place.
- **Syntax**: `list.reverse()`
```python
numbers = [1, 2, 3]
numbers.reverse()
print(numbers) # Output: [3, 2, 1]
```
#### Sorting
**`sort`**
- Sorts the items of the list in place.
- **Syntax**: `list.sort(key=None, reverse=False)`
```python
numbers = [3, 1, 2]
numbers.sort()
print(numbers) # Output: [1, 2, 3]
numbers.sort(reverse=True)
print(numbers) # Output: [3, 2, 1]
# Sorting with a key
numbers = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
numbers.sort(key=len)
print(numbers) # Output: ['apple', 'cherry', 'banana']
```
### Tuples in Python
Tuples are a type of collection in Python that allows you to group multiple items together. Unlike lists, tuples are immutable, meaning that once they are created, their contents cannot be changed. This immutability makes tuples useful for ensuring data integrity and preventing accidental modification.
#### Creating Tuples
You can create a tuple by placing a comma-separated sequence of values inside parentheses.
```python
# Creating a tuple
my_tuple = (1, 2, 3)
print(my_tuple) # Output: (1, 2, 3)
# Tuples can also be created without parentheses
another_tuple = 4, 5, 6
print(another_tuple) # Output: (4, 5, 6)
# Creating an empty tuple
empty_tuple = ()
print(empty_tuple) # Output: ()
# Creating a tuple with a single item
single_item_tuple = (7,)
print(single_item_tuple) # Output: (7,)
```
#### Accessing Tuple Elements
Elements in a tuple can be accessed using indexing, just like lists. Indices start at 0.
```python
my_tuple = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
# Accessing elements
print(my_tuple[0]) # Output: 1
print(my_tuple[3]) # Output: 4
# Negative indexing
print(my_tuple[-1]) # Output: 5
print(my_tuple[-2]) # Output: 4
```
#### Slicing Tuples
You can slice tuples to create a new tuple that contains a subset of the original elements.
```python
my_tuple = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
# Slicing
print(my_tuple[1:3]) # Output: (2, 3)
print(my_tuple[:2]) # Output: (1, 2)
print(my_tuple[2:]) # Output: (3, 4, 5)
print(my_tuple[-3:-1]) # Output: (3, 4)
```
#### Unpacking Tuples
Tuples can be unpacked into individual variables. The number of variables must match the number of elements in the tuple.
```python
my_tuple = (1, 2, 3)
# Unpacking
a, b, c = my_tuple
print(a) # Output: 1
print(b) # Output: 2
print(c) # Output: 3
# Unpacking with *
my_tuple = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
a, *b, c = my_tuple
print(a) # Output: 1
print(b) # Output: [2, 3, 4]
print(c) # Output: 5
```
#### Nested Tuples
Tuples can contain other tuples as elements, creating a nested structure.
```python
nested_tuple = (1, (2, 3), (4, (5, 6)))
print(nested_tuple) # Output: (1, (2, 3), (4, (5, 6)))
# Accessing nested elements
print(nested_tuple[1]) # Output: (2, 3)
print(nested_tuple[2][1]) # Output: (5, 6)
print(nested_tuple[2][1][0]) # Output: 5
```
#### Tuple Operations
Tuples support various operations, such as concatenation and repetition.
```python
tuple1 = (1, 2, 3)
tuple2 = (4, 5, 6)
# Concatenation
concatenated_tuple = tuple1 + tuple2
print(concatenated_tuple) # Output: (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
# Repetition
repeated_tuple = tuple1 * 2
print(repeated_tuple) # Output: (1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3)
```
#### Tuple Membership
You can check if an item is present in a tuple using the `in` keyword.
```python
my_tuple = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
# Membership check
print(3 in my_tuple) # Output: True
print(6 in my_tuple) # Output: False
```
#### Length of a Tuple
You can find out the number of items in a tuple using the `len()` function.
```python
my_tuple = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
# Length of the tuple
print(len(my_tuple)) # Output: 5
```
#### Tuple Immutability
Once a tuple is created, its contents cannot be modified. This immutability can be useful to ensure that the data remains unchanged throughout the program.
```python
my_tuple = (1, 2, 3)
# Trying to change a value will raise an error
# my_tuple[0] = 4 # TypeError: 'tuple' object does not support item assignment
```
#### Tuples as Dictionary Keys
Because tuples are immutable, they can be used as keys in dictionaries, unlike lists.
```python
my_dict = {(1, 2): "value1", (3, 4): "value2"}
print(my_dict) # Output: {(1, 2): 'value1', (3, 4): 'value2'}
# Accessing values
print(my_dict[(1, 2)]) # Output: value1
```
### Tuple Methods in Python
#### Counting Elements
**`count`**
- Returns the number of times the specified item appears in the tuple.
- **Syntax**: `tuple.count(item)`
```python
my_tuple = (1, 2, 3, 2, 2, 4)
count_twos = my_tuple.count(2)
print(count_twos) # Output: 3
```
#### Finding Index
**`index`**
- Returns the index of the first item whose value is equal to the specified value.
- **Syntax**: `tuple.index(item, [start, [end]])`
```python
my_tuple = (1, 2, 3, 2, 4)
index_of_two = my_tuple.index(2)
print(index_of_two) # Output: 1
index_of_two_from_2 = my_tuple.index(2, 2)
print(index_of_two_from_2) # Output: 3
```
### Dictionaries in Python
Dictionaries are a type of collection in Python that store data in key-value pairs. They are unordered, changeable, and do not allow duplicate keys. Dictionaries are optimized for retrieving data when the key is known.
#### Creating Dictionaries
You can create a dictionary using curly braces `{}` with key-value pairs separated by a colon `:`.
```python
# Creating an empty dictionary
empty_dict = {}
# Creating a dictionary with some key-value pairs
my_dict = {
"name": "John",
"age": 30,
"city": "New York"
}
print(my_dict) # Output: {'name': 'John', 'age': 30, 'city': 'New York'}
# Creating a dictionary using the dict() constructor
another_dict = dict(name="Jane", age=25, city="Chicago")
print(another_dict) # Output: {'name': 'Jane', 'age': 25, 'city': 'Chicago'}
```
#### Accessing Dictionary Elements
You can access the value associated with a specific key using square brackets `[]` or the `get` method.
```python
my_dict = {"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}
# Accessing values
print(my_dict["name"]) # Output: John
print(my_dict.get("age")) # Output: 30
# Accessing a key that doesn't exist
print(my_dict.get("address")) # Output: None
```
#### Adding and Modifying Elements
You can add new key-value pairs or modify existing ones by assigning a value to a key.
```python
my_dict = {"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}
# Adding a new key-value pair
my_dict["email"] = "john@example.com"
print(my_dict) # Output: {'name': 'John', 'age': 30, 'city': 'New York', 'email': 'john@example.com'}
# Modifying an existing key-value pair
my_dict["age"] = 31
print(my_dict) # Output: {'name': 'John', 'age': 31, 'city': 'New York', 'email': 'john@example.com'}
```
#### Removing Elements
You can remove elements from a dictionary using the `del` statement or the `pop` method.
```python
my_dict = {"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York", "email": "john@example.com"}
# Removing a key-value pair using del
del my_dict["email"]
print(my_dict) # Output: {'name': 'John', 'age': 30, 'city': 'New York'}
# Removing a key-value pair using pop
age = my_dict.pop("age")
print(age) # Output: 30
print(my_dict) # Output: {'name': 'John', 'city': 'New York'}
```
#### Checking for Keys
You can check if a key exists in a dictionary using the `in` keyword.
```python
my_dict = {"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}
# Checking for a key
print("name" in my_dict) # Output: True
print("email" in my_dict) # Output: False
```
#### Looping Through a Dictionary
You can loop through a dictionary to access keys, values, or both.
```python
my_dict = {"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}
# Looping through keys
for key in my_dict:
print(key)
# Looping through values
for value in my_dict.values():
print(value)
# Looping through key-value pairs
for key, value in my_dict.items():
print(key, value)
```
#### Nested Dictionaries
Dictionaries can contain other dictionaries, creating a nested structure.
```python
nested_dict = {
"person1": {"name": "John", "age": 30},
"person2": {"name": "Jane", "age": 25}
}
# Accessing nested dictionary values
print(nested_dict["person1"]["name"]) # Output: John
print(nested_dict["person2"]["age"]) # Output: 25
```
#### Dictionary Comprehensions
You can create dictionaries using dictionary comprehensions, which are concise ways to generate dictionaries.
```python
# Dictionary comprehension
squares = {x: x**2 for x in range(1, 6)}
print(squares) # Output: {1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 9, 4: 16, 5: 25}
```
#### Merging Dictionaries
You can merge two dictionaries using the `update` method or the `|` operator (Python 3.9+).
```python
dict1 = {"a": 1, "b": 2}
dict2 = {"b": 3, "c": 4}
# Merging using update
dict1.update(dict2)
print(dict1) # Output: {'a': 1, 'b': 3, 'c': 4}
# Merging using the | operator (Python 3.9+)
dict3 = dict1 | dict2
print(dict3) # Output: {'a': 1, 'b': 3, 'c': 4}
```
### Dictionary Methods in Python
#### Clearing and Copying
**`clear`**
- Removes all elements from the dictionary.
- **Syntax**: `dictionary.clear()`
```python
my_dict = {"name": "John", "age": 30}
my_dict.clear()
print(my_dict) # Output: {}
```
**`copy`**
- Returns a shallow copy of the dictionary.
- **Syntax**: `dictionary.copy()`
```python
my_dict = {"name": "John", "age": 30}
copy_dict = my_dict.copy()
print(copy_dict) # Output: {'name': 'John', 'age': 30}
```
#### Creating from Keys
**`fromkeys`**
- Creates a new dictionary with keys from an iterable and values set to a specified value.
- **Syntax**: `dict.fromkeys(iterable, value=None)`
```python
keys = ('name', 'age', 'city')
value = 'unknown'
new_dict = dict.fromkeys(keys, value)
print(new_dict) # Output: {'name': 'unknown', 'age': 'unknown', 'city': 'unknown'}
```
#### Accessing Elements
**`get`**
- Returns the value for the specified key if the key is in the dictionary; otherwise, returns a default value.
- **Syntax**: `dictionary.get(key, default=None)`
```python
my_dict = {"name": "John", "age": 30}
print(my_dict.get("name")) # Output: John
print(my_dict.get("address", "Not Found")) # Output: Not Found
```
#### Retrieving Dictionary Views
**`items`**
- Returns a view object that displays a list of a dictionary's key-value tuple pairs.
- **Syntax**: `dictionary.items()`
```python
my_dict = {"name": "John", "age": 30}
print(my_dict.items()) # Output: dict_items([('name', 'John'), ('age', 30)])
```
**`keys`**
- Returns a view object that displays a list of all the keys in the dictionary.
- **Syntax**: `dictionary.keys()`
```python

print(city) # Output: New York
print(my_dict) # Output: {'name': 'John', 'age': 30, 'city': 'New York'}
```
#### Updating Dictionaries

```
### Sets in Python
Sets are an unordered collection of unique items in Python. They are useful for storing elements where duplication is not allowed and for performing various mathematical set operations like union, intersection, difference, and symmetric difference.
#### Creating Sets
You can create a set using curly braces `{}` or the `set()` function.
```python
# Using curly braces
my_set = {1, 2, 3}
print(my_set) # Output: {1, 2, 3}
# Using the set() function
my_set = set([1, 2, 3])
print(my_set) # Output: {1, 2, 3}
```
#### Adding Elements
You can add elements to a set using the `add` method.
```python
my_set = {1, 2, 3}
my_set.add(4)
print(my_set) # Output: {1, 2, 3, 4}
```
#### Removing Elements
You can remove elements using the `remove` or `discard` methods. The difference is that `remove` will raise a `KeyError` if the element is not found, whereas `discard` will not.
```python
my_set = {1, 2, 3}
my_set.remove(2)
print(my_set) # Output: {1, 3}
my_set.discard(4) # No error even if 4 is not in the set
print(my_set) # Output: {1, 3}
```
#### Checking Membership
You can check if an element is a member of a set using the `in` keyword.
```python
my_set = {1, 2, 3}
print(1 in my_set) # Output: True
print(4 in my_set) # Output: False
```
#### Iterating Through a Set
You can iterate through a set using a `for` loop.
```python
my_set = {1, 2, 3}
for item in my_set:
print(item)
# Output:
# 1
# 2
# 3
```
#### Set Comprehensions
Like list comprehensions, you can use set comprehensions to create sets.
```python
my_set = {x * x for x in range(5)}
print(my_set) # Output: {0, 1, 4, 9, 16}
```
#### Frozen Sets
A `frozenset` is an immutable version of a set. You can create a `frozenset` using the `frozenset()` function.
```python
my_set = frozenset([1, 2, 3])
print(my_set) # Output: frozenset({1, 2, 3})
```
### Set Methods in Python
#### Adding Elements
**`add`**
- Adds an element to the set.
- **Syntax**: `set.add(element)`
```python
my_set = {1, 2, 3}

```
#### Clearing and Copying
**`clear`**
- Removes all elements from the set.
- **Syntax**: `set.clear()`
```python
my_set = {1, 2, 3}
my_set.clear()
print(my_set) # Output: set()
```
**`copy`**
- Returns a shallow copy of the set.
- **Syntax**: `set.copy()`
```python
my_set = {1, 2, 3}
copy_set = my_set.copy()
print(copy_set) # Output: {1, 2, 3}
```
#### Difference and Update
**`difference`**
- Returns a new set with elements that are in the set but not in another set.
- **Syntax**: `set.difference(other_set)`
```python
set1 = {1, 2, 3, 4}
set2 = {3, 4, 5}
diff_set = set1.difference(set2)
print(diff_set) # Output: {1, 2}
```
**`difference_update`**
- Removes all elements of another set from this set.
- **Syntax**: `set.difference_update(other_set)`
```python
set1 = {1, 2, 3, 4}
set2 = {3, 4, 5}
set1.difference_update(set2)
print(set1) # Output: {1, 2}
```
#### Discarding Elements
**`discard`**
- Removes an element from the set if it is a member.
- **Syntax**: `set.discard(element)`
```python
my_set = {1, 2, 3}
my_set.discard(2)
print(my_set) # Output: {1, 3}
```
#### Intersection and Update
**`intersection`**
- Returns a new set with elements that are common to this set and another.
- **Syntax**: `set.intersection(other_set)`
```python
set1 = {1, 2, 3}
set2 = {2, 3, 4}
intersection_set = set1.intersection(set2)
print(intersection_set) # Output: {2, 3}
```
**`intersection_update`**
- Updates the set with the intersection of itself and another.
- **Syntax**: `set.intersection_update(other_set)`

print(set1) # Output: {2, 3}
```
#### Set Relations
**`isdisjoint`**
- Returns True if two sets have no common elements.
- **Syntax**: `set.isdisjoint(other_set)`
```python
set1 = {1, 2}
set2 = {3, 4}
print(set1.isdisjoint(set2)) # Output: True
```
**`issubset`**
- Returns True if another set contains this set.
- **Syntax**: `set.issubset(other_set)`

1,902,490 | Building a Job Search Function with Prisma in Next.js | Introduction Are you looking to build a robust job search feature for your Next.js... | 0 | 2024-06-27T11:52:41 | https://dev.to/ashsajal/building-a-job-search-function-with-prisma-in-nextjs-2m8f | webdev, nextjs, react, javascript | ## Introduction
Are you looking to build a robust job search feature for your Next.js application? In this guide, we'll walk through creating a powerful job search function using Prisma. Whether you're a beginner or just looking to refresh your skills, this tutorial will help you implement a search that scans job titles, skills, and descriptions, making it easier for users to find their perfect job match. Let's dive in and make your job search feature both efficient and user-friendly! For a complete implementation, check out my [GitHub repository](https://github.com/ashsajal1/w3jobs).

6. [Testing Your Job Search](#testing-your-job-search)
7. [Conclusion](#conclusion)
8. [Full Implementation on GitHub](#full-implementation-on-github)
## Setting Up Prisma
Before we start fetching jobs, we need to set up Prisma in our project. If you haven't installed Prisma yet, follow these steps:
1. **Install Prisma CLI and initialize**:
```bash
npm install @prisma/cli --save-dev
npx prisma init
```
2. **Set up your database connection** in the `.env` file created by Prisma.
3. **Generate Prisma Client**:
```bash
npx prisma generate
```
## Creating the Job Model
Next, we'll define a `Job` model in our `schema.prisma` file:
```prisma
model Job {
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
title String
skills String
description String
createdAt DateTime @default(now())
}
```
After updating the schema, run the following command to apply the changes to your database:
```bash
npx prisma migrate dev --name init
```
## Fetching Jobs with Prisma
Now that we have our database and model set up, let's create a function to fetch jobs. We'll start by fetching all jobs without any filters:
```typescript
const fetchJobs = async (tags: string[] = []) => {
if (tags.length === 0) {
return await prisma.job.findMany();
}
const orConditions = tags.map(tag => ({
OR: [
{ title: { contains: tag, mode: 'insensitive' as const } },
{ skills: { contains: tag, mode: 'insensitive' as const } },
{ description: { contains: tag, mode: 'insensitive' as const } }
]
}));
const jobs = await prisma.job.findMany({
where: {
OR: orConditions.flatMap(condition => condition.OR)
}
});
return jobs;
};
```
## Implementing the Search Function
The `fetchJobs` function is designed to search for jobs based on tags. If no tags are provided, it returns all jobs. When tags are provided, it searches for jobs where any of the tags match the title, skills, or description.
Here’s the breakdown:
1. **No tags provided**: Returns all jobs.
2. **Tags provided**: Maps each tag to a condition that checks if the tag is contained (case-insensitive) in the job title, skills, or description.
## Testing Your Job Search
You can now test your job search function by calling it with different sets of tags:
```typescript
(async () => {
const allJobs = await fetchJobs();
console.log("All Jobs:", allJobs);
const searchTags = ["developer", "JavaScript"];
const searchedJobs = await fetchJobs(searchTags);
console.log("Searched Jobs:", searchedJobs);
})();
```
Run this code in your server or wherever you have set up your Prisma client to see the results.
## Conclusion
By following this guide, you’ve implemented a powerful job search feature using Prisma and Next.js. This function allows users to search for jobs based on keywords found in job titles, skills, or descriptions. For a complete implementation, you can refer to my [GitHub repository](https://github.com/ashsajal1/w3jobs).
## Full Implementation on GitHub

1,901,498 | Python Strings | Strings in Python Strings in Python are a sequence of characters enclosed within single... | 0 | 2024-06-27T11:52:20 | https://dev.to/harshm03/python-strings-bo6 | python, programming, beginners, tutorial | ### Strings in Python
Strings in Python are a sequence of characters enclosed within single quotes (`'`), double quotes (`"`), triple single quotes (`'''`), or triple double quotes (`"""`). They are immutable, meaning once a string is created, it cannot be changed.
#### Basic String Creation
```python
single_quote_str = 'Hello, World!'
double_quote_str = "Hello, World!"
triple_single_quote_str = '''Hello,
World!'''
triple_double_quote_str = """Hello,
World!"""
```
#### String Immutability
Once a string is created, you cannot change its individual characters.
```python
s = "hello"
# s[0] = 'H' # This will raise a TypeError
```
#### String Concatenation
You can concatenate strings using the `+` operator.
```python
s1 = "Hello"
s2 = "World"
s3 = s1 + " " + s2 # "Hello World"
```
#### String Repetition
You can repeat strings using the `*` operator.
```python
s = "Hello"
s2 = s * 3 # "HelloHelloHello"
```
#### Accessing Characters
You can access characters in a string using indexing.
```python
s = "Hello, World!"
char = s[0] # 'H'
```
Negative indexing can also be used to access characters from the end.
```python
last_char = s[-1] # '!'
```
#### Slicing Strings
Slicing allows you to get a substring from a string.
```python
s = "Hello, World!"
substring = s[0:5] # 'Hello'
substring = s[:5] # 'Hello'
substring = s[7:] # 'World!'
substring = s[::2] # 'Hlo ol!'
```
#### String Length
You can get the length of a string using the `len()` function.
```python
s = "Hello, World!"
length = len(s) # 13
```
#### Escape Characters
Escape characters allow you to include special characters in strings.
```python
newline = "Hello\nWorld!" # Newline
tab = "Hello\tWorld!" # Tab
quote = "He said, \"Hello!\"" # Double quote
backslash = "This is a backslash: \\" # Backslash
```
#### Raw Strings
Raw strings treat backslashes as literal characters.
```python
raw_str = r"C:\Users\name" # "C:\\Users\\name"
```
#### String Membership
You can check if a substring exists within a string using the `in` and `not in` operators.
```python
s = "Hello, World!"
result = "Hello" in s # True
result = "Hi" not in s # True
```
#### Iterating Through Strings
You can iterate through a string using a `for` loop.
```python
s = "Hello"
for char in s:
print(char)
```
### String Comparison in Python
String comparison in Python is used to determine the relative order of two strings or to check for equality. Python uses lexicographical order to compare strings, meaning that strings are compared based on the order of their characters in the Unicode code point sequence.
#### Comparison Operators
Python provides several comparison operators that can be used to compare strings:
- `==`: Equal
- `!=`: Not equal
- `<`: Less than
- `<=`: Less than or equal to
- `>`: Greater than
- `>=`: Greater than or equal to
#### Lexicographical Order
When comparing strings lexicographically, Python compares character by character, starting from the first character of each string, using their Unicode code points.
1. **Equal (`==`) and Not Equal (`!=`)**
```python
s1 = "apple"
s2 = "apple"
s3 = "banana"
print(s1 == s2) # True
print(s1 == s3) # False
print(s1 != s3) # True
```
2. **Less Than (`<`), Less Than or Equal To (`<=`)**
```python
s1 = "apple"
s2 = "banana"
print(s1 < s2) # True, because 'a' < 'b'
print(s1 <= s2) # True, because 'a' < 'b'
```
3. **Greater Than (`>`), Greater Than or Equal To (`>=`)**
```python
s1 = "banana"
s2 = "apple"
print(s1 > s2) # True, because 'b' > 'a'
print(s1 >= s2) # True, because 'b' > 'a'
```
#### Case Sensitivity
String comparison in Python is case-sensitive, meaning uppercase and lowercase letters are treated as different characters with different Unicode code points.
```python
s1 = "Apple"
s2 = "apple"
print(s1 == s2) # False, because 'A' != 'a'
print(s1 < s2) # True, because 'A' < 'a' in Unicode
print(s1 > s2) # False, because 'A' < 'a' in Unicode
```
#### Unicode Code Points
Python compares strings based on Unicode code points. You can use the `ord()` function to get the Unicode code point of a character.
```python
print(ord('a')) # 97
print(ord('A')) # 65
```
#### Comparing Strings of Different Lengths
When comparing strings of different lengths, Python compares each character in order until it reaches the end of one of the strings. If the compared characters are equal up to that point, the shorter string is considered less than the longer string.
```python
s1 = "apple"
s2 = "apples"
print(s1 < s2) # True, because 'apple' is shorter than 'apples'
print(s1 > s2) # False, because 'apple' is shorter than 'apples'
```
#### Practical Examples
1. **Using Comparison in Conditional Statements**
```python
password = "Secret123"
user_input = "secret123"
if user_input == password:
print("Access granted")
else:
print("Access denied") # Output: Access denied (case-sensitive comparison)
```
2. **Case-Insensitive Comparison**
To perform a case-insensitive comparison, you can convert both strings to the same case (e.g., lower or upper) before comparing them.
```python
s1 = "Apple"
s2 = "apple"
print(s1.lower() == s2.lower()) # True
print(s1.upper() == s2.upper()) # True
```
### String Formatting in Python
String formatting is a powerful feature in Python that allows you to create complex strings with dynamic content. Python provides several ways to format strings, each with its own use cases and benefits. Here, we'll cover:
1. **Old-style formatting (`%` operator)**
2. **`str.format()` method**
3. **Formatted string literals (f-strings)**
#### 1. Old-style Formatting (`%` operator)
Old-style formatting uses the `%` operator to insert values into a string. This method is similar to the C-style `printf`.
```python
name = "Alice"
age = 30
formatted_str = "Name: %s, Age: %d" % (name, age)
print(formatted_str) # Output: Name: Alice, Age: 30
```
**Format Specifiers:**
- `%s`: String
- `%d`: Integer
- `%f`: Floating-point number
- `%x`: Hexadecimal
- `%%`: Literal `%` character
```python
value = 12.3456
formatted_str = "Value: %.2f" % value # Output: Value: 12.35
```
#### 2. `str.format()` Method
The `str.format()` method is more powerful and flexible than the old-style `%` operator. It uses curly braces `{}` as placeholders within the string.
```python
name = "Alice"
age = 30
formatted_str = "Name: {}, Age: {}".format(name, age)
print(formatted_str) # Output: Name: Alice, Age: 30
```
**Positional and Keyword Arguments:**
You can use positional and keyword arguments to specify values.
```python
# Positional arguments
formatted_str = "Name: {0}, Age: {1}".format(name, age)
# Keyword arguments
formatted_str = "Name: {name}, Age: {age}".format(name="Alice", age=30)
```
**Reusing Arguments:**
Arguments can be reused in the format string.
```python
formatted_str = "Name: {0}, Age: {1}, Again Name: {0}".format(name, age)
```
**Format Specifiers:**
- `{:.2f}`: Floating-point number with 2 decimal places
- `{:,}`: Number with thousands separator
- `{:<10}`: Left-align within 10 spaces
- `{:>10}`: Right-align within 10 spaces
- `{:^10}`: Center-align within 10 spaces
```python
value = 12345.6789
formatted_str = "Value: {:.2f}".format(value) # Output: Value: 12345.68
formatted_str = "Value: {:,}".format(value) # Output: Value: 12,345.6789
formatted_str = "Value: {:<10}".format(value) # Output: Value: 12345.6789
formatted_str = "Value: {:>10}".format(value) # Output: Value: 12345.6789
formatted_str = "Value: {:^10}".format(value) # Output: Value: 12345.6789
```
#### 3. Formatted String Literals (F-strings)
F-strings (formatted string literals), introduced in Python 3.6, provide a concise and readable way to embed expressions inside string literals using curly braces `{}`.
```python
name = "Alice"
age = 30
formatted_str = f"Name: {name}, Age: {age}"
print(formatted_str) # Output: Name: Alice, Age: 30
```
**Expression Evaluation:**
F-strings allow the inclusion of expressions inside the curly braces.
```python
a = 5
b = 10
formatted_str = f"Sum: {a + b}"
print(formatted_str) # Output: Sum: 15
```
**Format Specifiers:**
F-strings support the same format specifiers as `str.format()`.
```python
value = 12345.6789
formatted_str = f"Value: {value:.2f}" # Output: Value: 12345.68
formatted_str = f"Value: {value:,}" # Output: Value: 12,345.6789
formatted_str = f"Value: {value:<10}" # Output: Value: 12345.6789
formatted_str = f"Value: {value:>10}" # Output: Value: 12345.6789
formatted_str = f"Value: {value:^10}" # Output: Value: 12345.6789
```
**Multi-line F-strings:**
F-strings can span multiple lines using triple quotes.
```python
name = "Alice"
age = 30
formatted_str = f"""
Name: {name}
Age: {age}
"""
print(formatted_str)
```
### Advanced Formatting
#### Nested Formatting
You can nest formatting expressions for complex formatting scenarios.
```python
width = 10
precision = 2
value = 12.34567
formatted_str = f"Value: {value:{width}.{precision}f}" # Output: Value: 12.35
```

## Introduction
Django, by default, uses SQLite as its database, which is great for development but may not be suitable for production environments. PostgreSQL is a powerful, open-source relational database system that's often used in production. In this guide, we'll walk through the process of connecting a cloud-hosted PostgreSQL database to your Django project, migrate data from SQLite to PostgreSQL, and understand where to create tables and relations in Django.

For this guide, we'll use Render as an example, but the process is similar for other providers.

Let's set up a PostgreSQL database on Render:
1. Sign up for a Render account at https://render.com
2. Once logged in, click on "New +" and select "PostgreSQL"
3. Choose a name for your database
4. Select the free plan
5. Click "Create Database"
After creation, Render will provide you with the following information:
- Database URL
- Username
- Password
- Database name
- Host
- Port
Keep this information secure; you'll need it to configure Django.
## 3. Configuring Django to Use PostgreSQL
Now, let's configure Django to use our new PostgreSQL database. Open your project's `settings.py` file and locate the `DATABASES` configuration. Replace it with the following:
```python
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
'NAME': 'your_database_name',
'USER': 'your_username',
'PASSWORD': 'your_password',
'HOST': 'your_host',
'PORT': 'your_port',
}
}
```
Replace `your_database_name`, `your_username`, `your_password`, `your_host`, and `your_port` with the values provided by Render.
## 4. Using Environment Variables with python-decouple
For better security and flexibility, it's recommended to use environment variables for sensitive information. We'll use the `python-decouple` library to manage our environment variables.
First, install python-decouple:
```
pip install python-decouple
```
Now, create a `.env` file in your project's root directory and add your database credentials:
```
DB_NAME=your_database_name
DB_USER=your_username
DB_PASSWORD=your_password
DB_HOST=your_host
DB_PORT=your_port
```
Update your `settings.py` to use python-decouple:
```python
from decouple import config
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
'NAME': config('DB_NAME'),
'USER': config('DB_USER'),
'PASSWORD': config('DB_PASSWORD'),
'HOST': config('DB_HOST'),
'PORT': config('DB_PORT'),
}
}
```
Why use python-decouple?
1. **Security**: Keeps sensitive information out of your codebase.
2. **Flexibility**: Easily switch between different environments (development, staging, production).
3. **Simplicity**: Provides a clean, straightforward way to manage configuration.
4. **Type Casting**: Automatically converts values to the right type (int, bool, etc.).
## 5. Installing Required Dependencies
To use PostgreSQL with Django, you need to install the `psycopg2` package. Run the following command:
```
pip install psycopg2-binary
```
Add `psycopg2-binary` and `python-decouple` to your `requirements.txt` file:
```
echo "psycopg2-binary" >> requirements.txt
echo "python-decouple" >> requirements.txt
```
## 6. Migrating Data from SQLite to PostgreSQL
If you have existing data in SQLite that you want to transfer to PostgreSQL, follow these steps:
1. Ensure your SQLite database is up-to-date:
```
python manage.py migrate
```
2. Create a JSON dump of your SQLite data:
```
python manage.py dumpdata > data.json
```
3. Update your `settings.py` to use the PostgreSQL database (as shown in step 4).
4. Run migrations on the new PostgreSQL database:
```
python manage.py migrate
```
5. Load the data into PostgreSQL:
```
python manage.py loaddata data.json
```
If you encounter any errors during this process, you may need to manually clean up the data or handle app-specific migration issues.
## 7. Creating Tables and Relations in Django
In Django, you don't directly create tables or relations in the database. Instead, you define models in your Django apps, and Django creates the corresponding tables and relations for you.
Let's explain this with an analogy:
Imagine you're designing a zoo. In this analogy:
- Your Django project is the entire zoo
- Each Django app is a different section of the zoo (mammals, birds, reptiles)
- Models are the blueprints for different animal enclosures
- Database tables are the actual, physical enclosures built from these blueprints
When you define a model in Django, you're essentially creating a blueprint for an animal enclosure. You specify what features the enclosure needs (fields in your model), what type of animal it's for (the model class), and how it relates to other enclosures (model relationships).
Here's an example of defining models:
```python
from django.db import models
class Species(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
scientific_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
class Animal(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
species = models.ForeignKey(Species, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
date_of_birth = models.DateField()
```
In this example, `Species` and `Animal` are our blueprints. When we run migrations, Django takes these blueprints and constructs the actual enclosures (database tables) for us.
To create and apply these blueprints:
1. Create migrations for your models:
```
python manage.py makemigrations
```
2. Apply the migrations to create tables in the database:
```
python manage.py migrate
```
Django will automatically create the necessary tables and relations based on your model definitions.
## 8. Best Practices and Considerations
1. **Use environment variables**: Always use environment variables for sensitive information like database credentials.
2. **Regular backups**: Implement a backup strategy for your PostgreSQL database. Most cloud providers offer automated backup solutions.
3. **Connection pooling**: For production environments, consider using a connection pooler like PgBouncer to manage database connections efficiently.
4. **Indexing**: As your data grows, make sure to add appropriate indexes to your database for better query performance.
5. **Monitor performance**: Use tools provided by your cloud database provider to monitor database performance and optimize as necessary.
6. **Keep your schema in sync**: Always make changes to your database schema through Django models and migrations, not by directly altering the database.
7. **Use transactions**: When performing multiple related database operations, use Django's transaction management to ensure data integrity.
## Conclusion
Connecting a cloud-hosted PostgreSQL database to your Django project opens up possibilities for scalability and performance. By following this guide, you should now be able to set up a PostgreSQL database on a cloud provider, connect it to your Django project, migrate your existing data, and understand how Django manages database schema through models and migrations.
Remember, while cloud-hosted databases offer many advantages, they also come with responsibilities in terms of security and management. Always follow best practices and keep your database and application secure.
