Maina Wycliffe Digest - Issue #2

Hello there, so we have almost covered the most used hooks in Reactjs. In my last post, we talked about the useRef hook. In this post, we’ll be covering the useCallback hook. So let’s start right away.

As a React developer, you have most likely heard of Next.js by now. It is an excellent React-based framework for server-side rendering and generating static websites. It comes with numerous features out of the box. However, it does not provide functionality regarding sitemaps.

If you are a React Developer you might know that Creating forms in Reactjs is quite easy, yet you need to adjust your code with a lot of things. I am going to write about a few things that you need to know while creating dynamic forms and also explain how they are written.

Selectors are pure functions used for obtaining slices of store state. @ngrx/store provides a few helper functions for optimizing this selection. Selectors provide many features when selecting slices of state:

Before going ahead, I assume you have a basic understanding of angular if not please check this course from Dan Wahlin. Angular is a front-end framework to build web applications that can be work across multiple platforms.

It’s not uncommon to see the words unsubscribe, memory leaks, subject in the same phrase when reading upon RxJS-related materials.

TypeScript 4.2 was recently released, with many cool new features and improvements. It’s really impressive to see how TypeScript improves the developer experience one step at a time. In this short post we will focus one feature, called Smarter Type Alias Preservation.

Productivity is not just about how much time you spend on projects. It’s about being efficient when you are working. Working on side projects is not the same as working your day job.

As we are suppose to have focus, we were required to choose only one technology between those three. As I am a backend developer, of course I chose NodeJS. As I have some pet projects that I want to use the technology, this event came in handy. I have already created some small projects using node.

Mock Service Worker is a seamless API mocking library for browser and Node.js. It uses Service Worker API to intercept requests on the network level, meaning no more stubbing of “fetch”, “axios”, or any other request issuing client.

Recently, I had to program a small routine that would send email messages to a group of contacts as soon as a condition occurred. Using Go you can easily achieve this.

Right off the bat, there are clear differences between Go and Rust. Go has a stronger focus on building web APIs and small services that can scale endlessly, especially with the power of goroutines.

This tutorial will cover the use-case of having two or more Firebase environments and possibility of having each environment app installed to your phone.
