For managing application state, we may need to rely on other JavaScript state management libraries like Redux or if you are using React v16+, so you can use React's Context API in combination with useReducer hook to serve our state management purpose. Good architecture makes the system easy to understand, easy to develop, easy to maintain, and easy to deploy. The ultimate goal is to minimize the lifetime cost of the system and to maximize

Efficient & robust search functionality is a necessity of any software application, may it be web, mobile, or desktop. It's a "must" to improve user experience (UX) and adoption. The search feature may seem very simple to a user but its very complex and challenging behind the scene to implement especially deep search. For one of our web applications, we had a challenging requirement to add several nested filters on search result pages. The primary data was sourced through Azure search on these web pages. In this article, I am sharing our learnings about Azure search and the power of

In Rails, multiple scopes can be created and chained together. What if we wish to apply a specific scope to a group of queries? Consider the following scenario: we have Post and Comment models and we want to perform few operations on public posts. # app/models/post.rb class Post < ActiveRecord::Base scope :public, -> { where(private: false) } endLoading development environment (Rails 7.0.0.alpha2) 3.0.0 :001 > Post.public.update_all(body: 'public post') Post Update All (4.1ms) UPDATE "posts" SET "body" = ?

Rails 7 adds the partial_inserts config to config.active_record that is used to control partial writes when creating a new record. config.active_record.partial_inserts is a boolean value and controls whether or not partial writes are used when creating new records (i.e. whether inserts only set attributes that are different from the default). Configuring config.active_record.partial_inserts In a newly created Rails 7.0 application, config.load_defaults 7.0 is set by default in application.rb. The default value of partial_inserts for config.load_defaults 7.0 is false and for

TypeScript's type system makes it very easy to add types as per our requirements. But most of the time, we may need to perform some transformations on existing types to get resultant type as per our requirements instead of adding a new one. Some common type transformations may include: Extraction of types Exclusion/Inclusion of types Setting types to required/optional Utility Types provided by TypeScript help in performing such type transformations. Utility Types are built-in and globally accessible functions available in TypeScript. Under the hood, they make use of Generics extensively. Some frequently used Utility Types are as follows:

One of the most convenient features of Rails is the ability to track attribute changes. Rails 7 is releasing soon and bringing in a lot of new features as a treat for developers.
