9 types of API testing 👇👇

Source: Click here

📌 Smoke Testing ➡️ Purpose: To quickly check if the API is functional. ➡️ Focus: Basic functionality validation. ➡️ Scope: Testing critical paths to ensure that the API is operational without major issues.

📌 Functional Testing ➡️ Purpose: To validate if the API functions as per its documented specifications. ➡️ Focus: Testing specific functionality, input parameters, output results, and business logic. ➡️ Scope: Evaluating the API for various use cases to ensure it meets the defined requirements and expectations.

📌 Integration Testing ➡️ Purpose: To test interactions between multiple APIs or services. ➡️ Focus: Validation of data flow and communication between APIs. ➡️ Scope: Ensuring that APIs can work seamlessly together in an end-to-end scenario, checking if they can exchange data and function collectively.

📌 Regression Testing ➡️ Purpose: To prevent new changes from breaking existing API functionality. ➡️ Focus: Re-running previous test cases to check for any regression or unintended side effects. ➡️ Scope: Verifying that the existing features and behaviors of the API remain intact after making changes or updates.

📌 Load Testing ➡️ Purpose: To assess API performance under expected loads. ➡️ Focus: Measuring response times, throughput, and resource utilization during various load conditions. ➡️ Scope: Testing the scalability of the API and identifying performance bottlenecks or resource limitations.

📌 Stress Testing ➡️ Purpose: To evaluate how the API performs under extreme loads beyond normal usage. ➡️ Focus: Pushing the system to its limits to identify its breaking points. ➡️ Scope: Assessing the robustness and error-handling capabilities of the API under severe stress, helping uncover potential issues.

📌 Security Testing ➡️ Purpose: To identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in API security. ➡️ Focus: Checking authentication, authorization, data protection, encryption, and other security measures. ➡️ Scope: Protect the API against external threats, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and unauthorized access.

📌 UI Testing ➡️ Purpose: To validate the interaction between the user interface and APIs. ➡️ Focus: Ensuring that data is displayed correctly in the user interface when accessed through the API. ➡️ Scope: Testing the integration of the API with the front-end components to guarantee a smooth user experience.

📌 Fuzz Testing ➡️ Purpose: To identify vulnerabilities and security issues in the API. ➡️ Focus: Injecting unexpected, invalid, or malicious data to provoke unexpected behavior. ➡️ Scope: Revealing potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers, such as buffer overflows, injection attacks, and data validation weaknesses.

For sorting by name we can add a new field sort_name by which we can sort via the after id of the last set of items when we use cursor based pagination

For this we use: sort_name=${doc.name}_{doc._id.toString()} so this helps us establish cursor based pagination.

Cursor based pagination vs. Number based pagination?

Prefer number based pagination when you have literally number on your view, i.e, if you have numbers ie., 1,2,3 on your pagination component then it makes sense to make use of number based pagination instead of cursor based pagination because with cursor based pagination we can not get items of a particular page i.e, we can not use skip value to skip some items.

Cursor based pagination is good for messaging where you would load messages continuously only, i.e, there is no skipping of data. (For more info check search for cursor based pagination on my home page of github).

Learn using pause (,) and delay (;) while dialing calls

Source: Click here

Source: 2 - Click here

TESTED AND VERIFIED

Say you wanna call 18001234567, and wait for six seconds and then enter extension 901.
Way 1: You can use pause i.e, calling  `18001234567,,,901` would wait for six seconds i.e, 1 comma is for 2 seconds, thus 3 commas for 6 seconds pause and then it'll send 901 extension.

Way 2: You can call `18001234567;,901` now this will prompt you when to send the extension after the call is started. When you press "yes" on the prompt then it'll wait for 2 seconds and send the extension 901.

Its true that we save salts with the passwords in the database as well i.e., the starting of the password is just the salt used only:

let bc = require('bcryptjs')
let saltRounds = 14 // The higher the saltRounds value, the more time the hashing algorithm takes. 
// Note equal time is taken to verify as well i.e, when we call `compareSync` funciton.
let salt = bc.genSaltSync(saltRounds) // DEFAULT VALUE for salt is 10

console.log('SALT:', salt)

let hash = bc.hashSync('car', salt)
console.log('HASH:', hash)

// Verify
console.log(bc.compareSync('car', hash)) // true

// SAMPLE OUTPUTS:
// SALT: $2a$10$HKfmu6IQUO4B9b/8LcdrVu
// HASH: $2a$10$HKfmu6IQUO4B9b/8LcdrVu9YsuALxHTA0GBUvyj4b2Ia/nB5JlKgm

Do changing dns makes you anonymoust?

Source: Click here

Here’s a short summary of how DNS works:

Using your ISP’s DNS

In your browser, you type AustinBike.com - Home

Your browser asks your ISP for AustinBike.com - Home

Your ISP uses its DNS server to figure out that the website is at 74.208.236.250

Your ISP goes to 74.208.236.250, gets the page and sends it to your browser.

Using a third party DNS

In your browser, you type AustinBike.com - Home

Your browser asks the third party for the address of AustinBike.com - Home

The third party uses its DNS server to figure out that the website is at 74.208.236.250

The third party tells your browser to ask for 74.208.236.250 which is sent to your ISP.

Your ISP goes to 74.208.236.250, gets the page and sends it to your browser.

(Yeah, I’ve simplified this for the non-tech people, this is not EXACTLY how it works.)

But notice that the last statement for both is exactly the same. This is because everything on the internet is transported via IP addresses. And ISPs store IP addresses, not domain names. If law enforcement ever came knocking on your ISPs door asking what you were up to, they’d hand them a list of IP addresses that your computer asked for, not domains. LE will have tools to do the lookups and complete the list with “human readable” domain names.

If you had a VPN, all of the traffic that you ISP would have would look like this:

Outbound requests: You to VPN

Inbound requests: VPN to You

BUT if law enforcement wanted to know what you were up to, they would go to your VPN provider. If they cooperated the list would be exactly like the list your ISP would hand over above. Some VPN companies do not log requests, some do. If they are not logging they would tell LE that they have nothing to turn over.

Don’t just assume that because you are using a VPN that your traffic is hidden. All you have done is put one more hurdle into the process, not stopped it. A VPN also has to not log the data. Some may say they don’t but could be secretly logging it. You cannot ever be 100% sure that you are safe just because you are using a VPN.

Additionally, if LE really, really wanted to know what you are doing, they could put taps on line at the VPN provider to figure things out without needing their logs. But you’d need to be a pretty bad guy for that, not someone just searching for porn or other questionable content.

unsigned means?

Dictionary - unsigned : not having a plus or minus sign, or a bit representing this.

Unsigned Integers (often called “uints”) are just like integers (whole numbers) but have the property that they don’t have a + or - sign associated with them. Thus they are always non-negative (zero or positive). We use uint’s when we know the value we are counting will always be non-negative.

Calling one express route from another route

Source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/38948889/10012446

I added answer to that question as well, here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/73001807/10012446

Hilarious and Feels stupid to think of this though now.

// @ts-nocheck
const app = require('express')()
const axios = require('axios')
const log = console.log

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
	res.json('yoy')
})

const listener = app.listen(async () => {
	const url = 'http://localhost:' + listener.address().port // IF you are using static port value you do not need `listener.address().port` and simply provide that port value here instead.
	log({url})

	let response = await axios.get(url)
	log('GOT DATA IN RESPONSE:', response.data) // yoy
})

If you are using it general case i.e., STATIC PORT value, you can do it like:

// @ts-nocheck
const app = require('express')()
const axios = require('axios')
const log = console.log

const PORT = 3000
const URL = 'http://localhost:' + PORT
const apiPath = (path) => URL + path

app.get('/a', (req, res) => {
	res.json('yoy')
})

app.listen(PORT, async () => {
	let response = await axios.get(apiPath('/a'))
	log('RESPONSE DATA:', response.data)
})

A good exerpt on that problem.

Save the migration code in the file migrations/20211209_00_initialize_notes_and_users.js. Migration file names should always be named alphabetically when created so that previous changes are always before newer changes. One good way to achieve this order is to start the migration file name with the date and a sequence number.

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/node-js-util-promisify-method

https://nodejs.org/api/util.html#utilpromisifyoriginal

https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#filehandlereadfileoptions

In nodejs: We have util.promisify buitin method basically takes a function as an input that follows the common Node.js callback style, i.e., with a (err, value) and returns a version of the same that returns a promise instead of a callback.

import { readFile } from 'node:fs';


let callback =  (err, data) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(data);
}

// Callback Usage:
readFile('/etc/passwd', callback); // OR 
readFile('/etc/passwd', 'utf8', callback);

// Making use of util.promisify
const util = require('node:util');

// Reading the file using a promise & printing its text
const readFileSync = util.promisify(fs.readFile);
readFileSync('./promisify.js', 'utf8') // Reading the same file
   .then((text) => {
      console.log(text);
   })
// Printing error if any
   .catch((err) => {
      console.log('Error', err);

Originally posted here.

I am pretty noob js developer but I made something up that solves* this issue. And please don’t critize I just mean to present a solution for curious people by this comment.

* means solving with my own test runner not with jest runner.

flash is my test runner I created few days back, to test this you need below setup:

git clone https://github.com/sahilrajput03/flash
cd flash && npm link
cd ..

git clone https://github.com/sahilrajput03/learning-monogo-and-mongoosejs
cd learning-monogo-and-mongoosejs/mongoosejs-with-hot-flash
npm i && npm link flash
npm start

Now if you edit code in code.js, then you database connection won’t be thrown away but reused thus giving you a lightning fast TDD experience with no connection loosing on running tests while in watch mode.

Why and how I love and hate jest ?

Love: Bcoz its assertion i.e., expect and expect’s docs is open source. So this allows me to use their assertions in my own test runner library. Yikes!

I.e.,

npm i expect

const {expect} = require('expect')
expect('1').toBe('2') // throws error just like jest does!

Hate: Jest’s test runner has no capability to share values and module between tests suites in watch mode. Issue closed here. But it seems that work is going on this issue here.

Git submodules

Adding a github submodule

git submodule add "github_url" directory_path

How to fix submodule shit..?

Problem: If you accidentally did a git add . in any of your github repo where you had some nested repository, then git automatically adds that repository as a submodule to your existing (parent repository) and then you don’t get a live link in your github repo page.

How to FIX

Simply move your nested git repo elsewhere and do a commit to clean it for a while, and then move back the nestedGitRepo back to where it was and add it in proper way, followed by git commit. It looks like that:

mv someNestedGitRepo ../
git add . && git commit -m "Remove submodule."
# Now, move back the nestedGitRepo back to current repo and add it in proper way!
mv ../someNestedRepo .
git submodule add "github_url" directory_path
# Now, you get to commit, and its done!
git add . && git commit -m Fix submodule.

Sources for git submodules

vertical and horizontal pod scaling, what kind of constratins to consider?

# usefule text from: https://devopswithkubernetes.com/part-3/3-gke-features
# Scaling
Scaling can be either horizontal scaling or vertical scaling. Vertical scaling is the act of increasing resources available to a pod or a node. Horizontal scaling is what we most often mean when talking about scaling, increasing the number of pods or nodes. We'll focus on horizontal scaling.

There are multiple reasons for wanting to scale an application. The most common reason is that the number of requests an application receives exceeds the number of requests that can be processed. Limitations are often either the amount of requests that a framework is intended to handle or the actual CPU or RAM.

Figuring out autoscaling with HorizontalPodAutoscalers can be one of the more challening tasks. Choosing which resources to look at and when to scale is not easy. In our case, we only stress the CPU. But your applications may need to scale based on, and take into consideration, a number of resources e.g. network, disk or memory.

kubernetes hierarchy

Kubernetes cluster is a group of nodes!

A node can have a list of deployments.

A deployment controls a list of pods.

A pod has a list of containers.

Replicas (.spec.replicas) is no. of replicated pod which will be created.

A kubelet is an agent that runs on each node in the cluster. It makes sure that containers are running in a pod.

bus factor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The bus factor is a measurement of the risk resulting from information and capabilities not being shared among team members, derived from the phrase “in case they get hit by a bus”. It is also known as the bus problem, lottery factor, truck factor,[1] bus/truck number, or lorry factor.

In a sentence (from devopsiwthkubernetes): If your files don’t tell Kubernetes and your team what the state should be and instead you run commands that edit the state you are just lowering the bus factor for your cluster and application.

I have a habit of looking for the best of best of the articles, courses, blogs, books, materials that I feel sometimes is a time taking process and I don’t follow or kind of forget like the official way of doing things me or anybody else must be doing, i.e., follow official documentation of softwares, libraries, tools, standards, ie., OFFICIAL documentation.

using auto-changelog

Source: https://www.npmjs.com/package/auto-changelog

Sample generated: Click here

Sample (this repository): Click here

Tip: You can use custom template as shown here in docs.

Add below to your package.json file and run npm run changelog to generate a CHANGELOG.md file. It simply generates list of all commit to the target file simply date wise.

    "changelog": "auto-changelog -p --commit-limit false"

FYI (using -p is important else you won’t get commits in your CHANGELOG.md file): -p, --package # use version from package.json as latest release

FYI: If you plan to execute it on npm version script, then you do it like (official docs of auto-changelog):

  "scripts": {
    "version": "auto-changelog -p && git add CHANGELOG.md"
  }

HENCE, whenever you run npm version patch/minor/major, your version script will be run as well. YO

monkeypatching ( or _hot fixes) ?

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_patch

A monkey patch is a way for a program to extend or modify supporting system software locally (affecting only the running instance of the program).

Etymology

The term monkey patch seems to have come from an earlier term, guerrilla patch, which referred to changing code sneakily – and possibly incompatibly with other such patches – at runtime. The word guerrilla, homophonous with gorilla (or nearly so), became monkey, possibly to make the patch sound less intimidating.[1]

An alternative etymology is that it refers to “monkeying about” with the code (messing with it).

Despite the name’s suggestion, the “monkey patch” is sometimes the official method of extending a program. For example, web browsers such as Firefox and Internet Explorer used to encourage this, although modern browsers (including Firefox) now have an official extensions system.

Declarative vs. imperative

REMEMBERING SHORTFORM: HI (how->imperative), so declarative must a what.

WORD MEANINGS:
==============
imperative (dictionary):
1. of vital importance; crucial. E.g., "immediate action was imperative"
2. giving an authoritative command; peremptory.

declarative
1. of the nature of or making a declaration.
"declarative statements"
2. (COMPUTING)
denoting high-level programming languages which can be used to solve problems without requiring the programmer to specify an exact procedure to be followed.

Imperative(HOW): In computer science, imperative programming is a programming paradigm that uses statements that change a program’s state. In much the same way that the imperative mood in natural languages expresses commands, an imperative program consists of commands for the computer to perform. Imperative programming focuses on describing how a program operates. The term is often used in contrast to declarative programming, which focuses on what the program should accomplish without specifying all the details of how the program should achieve the result. Exampe of imperative programming, is like we defined algorithms in explicit steps. ~Sahil

Declarative (WHAT): In computer science, declarative programming is a programming paradigm—a style of building the structure and elements of computer programs—that expresses the logic of a computation without describing its control flow. Many languages that apply this style attempt to minimize or eliminate side effects by describing what the program must accomplish in terms of the problem domain, rather than describe how to accomplish it as a sequence of the programming language primitives (the how being left up to the language’s implementation). This is in contrast with imperative programming, which implements algorithms in explicit steps.

# You can set empty variable in bash so that you can reference 0th commit easily.



######## DIFF SYNTAX ########
git diff sourceCommit [targetCommit=HEAD]


# GIT EXAMPLE 0:
git diff commit4
# Shows changed made AFTER commit4 state.
# this can be done otherwise
git diff commit4 commmit5


# GIT EXAMPLE 1:
git diff commitId1 commitId2
# FYI: The - and + signs represents changes while going from source(commitId1) to target(commitId2) i.e., file `a` to file `b`.
# FYI: To see the chronological changes(i.e, + and - signs with respect to real time) you must use the source commitID as commit that you made before target commitId.


# GIT EXAMPLE 2:
# Get the detais of any commmit it'll show you the diff from /dev/null state to the final states of all the files after making the commit.
git show COMMIT_3 # Same as below
git diff commit2 COMMIT_3


# GIT EXAMPLE 3:
git show commit1
# FYI: This shows all the details of that commit, like time/date, author and the diff with source as state before the commit and target as state after the commit.

# GIT EXAMPLE 4:
# What does below command do? (LEAST USEFUL, unless you want to use `git diff HEAD` to view the diff for currently staged changes)
git diff commit3
# Ans: It shows all the changes made after `commit3` to the current staged area or the last commit state.

# GIT EXAMPLE 5:
# FUN FACT: If you use
git diff <lastCommit>
# OR
git diff HEAD
# You will see diff only if you have changes in staged area. (i.e., you changed something and did ```git add .```


# GIT EXAMPLE 6:
# NOTICE IF YOU WANT TO SEE DIFF FROM EMPTY COMMIT(source commit) TO A PARTICULAR COMMIT (target commit), you would need use something like:
# First we need to define the empty commit id (which is same for all git repositories), then we can use ```git diff```: Source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25064285/10012446
empty=4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904
git diff $empty commit3

# GIT EXAMPLE 6a (COPY OF 6):
#### FUN FACT : FOR THE FIRST COMMIT WE CAN ACHIEVE THE SAME (bcoz there were no changes before that commit) BY:
git diff $empty commit1
# would output same result as below command:
git show commit1

Difference between git reset --hard and git revert <shaHere>

tl;dr: There is a very great significance of using revert instead of git reset coz it preserver all history and its important if you pushed earlier commmit to puclic and want it to be undone(remove) and still don’t want to force push then git revert rocks coz it does exactly that! Read below like for more insights!.

Source: Here.

Get back to previous commit but keep the directory as it is (i.e., only change the commit history and keep the source code as it is)

The key point is that you don’t do

git reset --hard HEAD^
# rather you should do below >>>
git reset HEAD^
# And now your source code is AS IT IS but the last commit is removed from the history.

wc doesntexist.txt 2> /dev/null | grep ""     # Ouput: grep DOESN'T prints the error i.e., stderr is passed to /dev/null and not passed via pipe to grep.

wc doesntexist 2> /dev/stdout | grep ""       # Output: grep prints the error, i.e., stderr is passed to stdout then stdout is passed via pipe to grep.
wc doesntexist 2> /dev/stderr | grep ""       # Output: grep prints the error, i.e., we redirect stderr to stderr then stderr is passed via pipe to grep.

Promise based apis of fs in Node.js..

Source, firt seen in remix’s code by Ryan Florence here.

Look here for docs.

i.e.,

import {unlink, readFile} from 'fs/promises'

try {
	await unlink('/tmp/hello') // unlink is used to delte a file.
	console.log('successfully deleted /tmp/hello')
} catch (error) {
	console.error('there was an error:', error.message)
}

// ~sahill: for reading file
const file = await readFile(filepath)

Testing side by side everywhere you write code:

require('colors')

console.assert(user.userName, 'Username is not found..'.red) // only prints the log in red when username is a falsy value.
console.assert(user.age, 'Password not found..'.red) // only prints the log in red when age is a falsy value.

//FYI: Above works in node and browser both. console.assert is just a wrapper over console.error on a false condition and for true it does nothing as like test is passed!

promise.all: method takes an iterable of promises as an input, and returns a single Promise that resolves to an array of the results of the input promises. This returned promise will resolve when all of the input’s promises have resolved, or if the input iterable contains no promises. It rejects immediately upon any of the input promises rejecting or non-promises throwing an error, and will reject with this first rejection message / error.) The Promise.all() method takes an iterable of promises as an input, and returns a single Promise that resolves to an array of the results of the input promises.

Sequential way of executing promises:

promise.allSettled (my favourite ~Sahil): The Promise.allSettled() method returns a promise that resolves after all of the given promises have either fulfilled or rejected, with an array of objects that each describes the outcome of each promise. »» It is typically used when you have multiple asynchronous tasks that are not dependent on one another to complete successfully, or you’d always like to know the result of each promise. »» In comparison, the Promise returned by Promise.all() may be more appropriate if the tasks are dependent on each other / if you’d like to immediately reject upon any of them rejecting.

promise.any: Promise.any() takes an iterable of Promise objects. It returns a single promise that resolves as soon as any of the promises in the iterable fulfills, with the value of the fulfilled promise. If no promises in the iterable fulfill (if all of the given promises are rejected), then the returned promise is rejected with an AggregateError, a new subclass of Error that groups together individual errors.

promise.race: The Promise.race() method returns a promise that fulfills or rejects as soon as one of the promises in an iterable fulfills or rejects, with the value or reason from that promise.

There are other iterable based methods in javascript as well on mdn - amazing docs by mdn.

Stop using postman and use curl commands as different files to store requests

UPDATE: Always prefer using test-driven development using jest using shared requests between frontend and backend so there is zero-overhead in request making procedure and code communtication say the api parameter preferences with the frontend team or yourself.

First, bash file commands give you infinite scalability and customizability to store and share requests over github repo, as you can share updated request in that folder and other team memebers can simply use them as it is.

Second, bash and curl is opensource, so free forever while with postman -> you can only have at max of 3 members to share your requests with and with that you can only share a limited no. of requests only. So postman sucks when compared with curl command files. Yikes@@

Third, variables are also suppored simply using bash scripts, i.e.,

$cat staging
v=one

$ cat development
v=two

$cat curl1
echo Firing request @ $v

## We use `. <anyScript>` to run any command in current bash. Tip: `.` is just alias of `source` command.

################ STAGING ENVIRONMENT ################
$ . staging
$ echo $v
one
$ . curl1
Firing request @ one

################ DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT ################
$ . development
$ echo $v
two
$ . curl1
Firing request @ two

So this way all variables can use used while executing any file with curl command. Yikes!!

while (i < 1000) {
	i++
}
console.timeEnd()

Output: 0.05 ms

i = 1
console.time()
while (i < 1000) {
	i++
	console.log('having fun')
}
console.timeEnd()

Ouput: 31.6 ms ( So that means a console.log statement can ruin the performance for sure.

You might be thinking its just in ms, whats the matter. But not small enough, coz if you add more zeroes to the program the result would be shoking and the proportional changes would be same but in seconds now.

Try doing in python now if you want..

import time

i = 0
while i < 1_000_000:
    # print('hel') # << Here..
    i = i + 1

end = time.perf_counter()
print(end - start)

print statement uncommented : .08s and 3.72s when uncommented. So, thats makes a huge huge difference in performance.

jump between words in bash, use ctrl+h or backspace ??

#hotkeys, #shortcuts, #linux, #bash

#Instead of using backspace in shell, you can use ctrl+h as its far reachable as compared to `backspace key`.
ctrl+h

#word jumping
alt + b : jumb back a word
alt + f : jump forward a word

#char jumping
ctrl + f : jump forward a char
ctrl + b : jump back a char

#alt+l : Also jumps forward a word.

### Use alt+backspace to delete PART of last word
### Use ctrl+backspace to delete last word COMPLETELY.

ctrl+d closes the terminal itself.

linux fun

$ ls -l /mnt/sda3/ /mnt/sda4/ /mnt/sda5/
# This will list out file/directories for all the specified directories above.

$ echo $USER     # Prints username of current user.
$ echo $HOSTNAME # Printes hostname of the machine.

Limitation of javascript (Amazing bigInt type):

console.log(Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER) // 9007199254740991


let k
k = 1_000_000_000_000_00_1 * 2
// Output: 2000000000000002
k = 1_000_000_000_000_000_1 * 2
// Output: 20000000000000000 // Notice the end digit is calculated wrong JAVASCRIPT sucks in artronomical figures.

// Fixing issue: Use bigints in javascript
// Syntax: Just add n to the end of the number and thats a bigInt.

let k
k = 1_000_000_000_000_000_1n * 2
// ^^ above expression throws error as ->>
// VM52:1 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot mix BigInt and other types, use explicit conversions
// So, instead we try with 2n (earlier we used 2 (number type) to multiply with a BigInt type.
k = 1_000_000_000_000_000_1n * 2n
20000000000000002n // Voila! It works!!

Format a disk/usb in windows with diskpart

diskpart
list disk
select disk X
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
active
format fs=ntfs label=sanDisk quick
assign letter=h
exit


# Also, you can list and select a partition too.
list partition
select partition Y

Become root user

sudo su

Missing beauty: isBoolean = (a) => typeof a === 'boolean'

Recall last n commits in git: git log -n 1, git log -n2 works well similarly, i.e., showing last two logs.

Get ur ip address

curl -s https://checkip.amazonaws.com
# Below works too.
curl checkip.amazonaws.com

Save some of keystrokes with logs

// commonjs
const {log: l} = require('console')
l('i love commonjs modules.')

//esm
import {log as l} from 'console'
l('i love esm modules')

Get used to javascript objects(works good in both node and browser both, tested):

var cron = require('node-cron')
let cron1 = '30 * * * * *'

cron.schedule(cron1, () => {
	var d = new Date()
	var h = d.getHours()
	var m = d.getMinutes()
	var s = d.getSeconds()

	console.log('==1>', new Date().toLocaleString())
	console.log('==2>', h) // 20 that means 8pm.
	console.log('==3>', m) // 32 that means 32 minutes past.
	console.log('==4>', s) // 30 that means 30 seconds past.
	console.log('==5>', d) // this is not readable at all :lol:
})

*You need to press y for first time though.

Help: Src1, Src2, Src3: CRA.

  1. Read and test whole official cra docs.
  2. Learn story book or styleguidist , either one and do some good tutorial from their site or youtube. :D GOOD LUCK!!
  3. Leanr pre-rendering from cra docs here.

🤠︎ Write data to a new/existing file directly with the terminal

Copy data to clipboard, and in terminal use

$ cat > myFile.txt and hit enter, and now paste data in the terminal itself and press ctrl+d to save the file. Thats it 🤠︎.

$ cat >> myFile.txt and this will append data to the end of the content of the fiile, and make sure you first enter a new line after you press enter command for the above command so that a new line is created (only useful when there is no new line already in end of file that you want to edit).

Priority1: Center element using simple margin auto

Q. Does margin auto center vertically? Ans. If the display of your parent container is flex , then yes, margin: auto auto (also known as margin: auto ) will work to center it both horizontally and vertically, regardless if it is an inline or block element.

Priority2: Center element like a pro

.myElement {
	position: absolute/relative;
	transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
	top: 50%;
	left: 50%;
}

Priority3: Center element like a master

.myEl{
 position: absolute;
 top: 0;
 left: 0;
 right: 0;
 bottom: 0;

 width: 50%;
 height: 50%;
 margin: auto;
 <!-- ^ this does the centering magic when complemented with all the above settings and don't forget to make the container of current element as ''position: relative'' -->
}

.container{
 position: relative;
}

css selector

p ~ ul {
	background: #ff0000;
	/*This will apply to all ul's that are anywhere(not just next to it) after the p tag.*/
}

Practical example of both of above complementary usage
