As a business grows, there is a high chance that it will expand to multiple different countries. The developers must ensure the application is available in different languages to accommodate that. Fortunately, we don’t have to create a separate version of our application in each language. Instead, we can use tools that let us dynamically […]
Web applications are becoming increasingly complex. While that’s the case, we must ensure the interface is intuitive and easy to use. By allowing our users to drag and drop elements across the screen, we can simplify many tasks, such as reordering lists or grouping items. In this article, we learn how to implement the drag-and-drop […]
As our application grows, the amount of data we receive through our REST API grows as well. We often need to split the data into parts and load them separately to avoid performance issues. A common pattern is implementing infinite scrolling that loads more content when the user scrolls down. In this article, we implement […]
Our applications sometimes include features that allow users to select files from their hard drives, and some functionalities might let users download files. Implementing End-to-End tests that ensure that everything works as expected might not seem straightforward at first. In this article, we create a simple React application that lets users choose a JSON file […]
With End-to-End testing (E2E), we test a fully working application where different parts of our application work together in real-life scenarios from start to finish. The End-to-End tests might also act as regression tests that check if our latest changes haven’t broken any previous features. We might also use them as smoke tests that ensure […]
Unit testing is handy for testing how our React components behave when the user interacts with them. However, this might not be enough. Besides testing the logic behind a particular component, we should also test if our user interface changes unexpectedly. We can use snapshot testing to detect unintended modifications to how our components render. Introduction to […]
When a NestJS application starts, it creates instances of various classes, such as controllers and services. By default, NestJS treats those classes as singletons, where a particular class has only one instance. NestJS then shares the single instance of each provider across the entire application’s lifetime, creating a singleton provider scope. If you want to […]
With code coverage, we can measure the percentage of our code that runs with our test. In this article, we learn how to measure our coverage and discuss whether it is a metric worth considering. We will understand its benefits and limitations and see how a high code coverage can mislead us into thinking that […]
JavaScript started as a simple language used to make static websites more dynamic and interactive. However, projects written in JavaScript began getting increasingly complex a long time ago. Because of that, it quickly became apparent that we needed a way to break the code into smaller, manageable pieces. Throughout the years, people have had many […]
With monorepos, we keep the code for different projects together in one big repository. This makes sharing and reusing the code across multiple projects easier and can simplify dependency management. Each project has its own directory, scripts, and dependencies. We can use Yarn workspaces designed with monorepos in mind to handle all that. In this […]
