海外TECH	DEV Community	Getting to know about Components in React	https://dev.to/mohammedzubair23/getting-to-know-about-components-in-react-3phn	Getting to know about Components in React What Are Components Components let you split the UI into independent reusable pieces and think about each piece in isolation Components modularize both functionality and presentation in our code In order to understand how powerful this is consider just how intricate web applications can become The difficulty in logically arranging architecting and programming these web applications increases with their size Components are like little packages they help us keep everything organized and predictable while abstracting the boilerplate Links to an external site code Components can do many things but their end goal is always the same they all must contain a snippet of code that describes what they should render to the DOM How Do I Use Components in My React App It s standard practice to give each of the components their own file It is not uncommon to see a React program file tree that looks something like this With our components separated in their own files all we have to do is figure out how to access the code defined in one file within a different file Well this is easily done in modern JavaScript thanks to the ES module system using the import and export keywords On a simplified level the import and export keywords let us define variables in one file and access those variables in other files throughout our project This becomes increasingly important as we build out larger applicationsSince variables in modules are not visible to other modules by default we must explicitly state which variables should be made available to the rest of our application Exporting any variable ーwhether that variable is an object string number function or React component ーallows us to access that exported variable in other files There are two ways to export code in JavaScript we can use the default export syntax or the named export syntax We can only use export default once per file This syntax lets us export one variable from a file which we can then import in another file With named exports we can export multiple variables from a file ConclusionComponents in React are a great way to keep certain information about your code in its own file then rendering it to the parent component When you get a better understand of Components in React your code becomes well organized and easier to find information This results in having fewer errors in your code and if you do experience any error if can become easier for you to locate that error and fix it	2022-02-16 19:41:02
海外TECH	DEV Community	Setting up a Vuex Store with Nuxt	https://dev.to/raulsposito/setting-up-a-vuex-store-with-nuxt-llj	Setting up a Vuex Store with NuxtThere s a lot to learn out there about Flux Vuex Nuxt Vue a framework of a framework and so on My idea here is to keep it as simple as possible I really encourage you to go and read the docs for all that s out there so you can deep dive into them The docs for all these libraries are super well written and easy going in comparison to most software documentation So back to our project I had the idea to build a Horoscope App using Vue and Vuex for pretty much everything that contains state within the app So I figured once the user claims their sign we would make the API call and then get a prediction reading for the user For this purpose I m going to use this awesome API Ok so let s start the project with yarn create nuxt app lt YOUR PROJECT NAME gt Check out Nuxt docsThen after the project s boilerplate is created we jump into our store folder and add touch store index jsimport Vue from vue import Vuex from vuex Here we import everything that is exported from the below directory allowing us to create the storeimport as app from modules app index Vue use Vuex export default gt new Vuex Store modules app Then we create a new directory inside the store so we can give life to our app module inside of it mkdir store modulesmkdir store modules apptouch store modules app index jsInside the newly created index js file we add We import axios since we ll need it to make the api calls later on import axios from axios We make namespaced true so that we can call the modules like app mutationsexport const namespaced true We export all pieces of the store as constants that we will import on the index file we saw previouslyexport const state sign null today export const mutations SET TODAY state value state today value SET SIGN state value state sign value Then for the most important part We create the action that s going to fetch the given horoscope We will send a post request to the endpoint interpolating the user s selected sign we got from the store and making the api call Then with the response we commit the mutation to have our horoscope reading saved in the store and accessible for all the app export const actions GET TODAY commit axios post state sign amp day today then response gt commit SET TODAY response data With that last piece added to the app module we can go back to the template to handle how we are going to connect all the pieces to the user We will have to create a select menu for the user to select their sign from lt select id sign v model selected name sign class mt block w full py text base border gray focus outline none focus ring purple focus border purple sm text

user s selected value That way we can watch that property and use it to connect it to the store watch selected this store commit app SET SIGN this selected We also need to use the helper mapState and the spread operator to connect the global store values to our component making them available for our use import mapState from vuex computed mapState app sign today So if we now go to the Vuex console on the browser we can see that the selection commits a mutation to the store with the payload of the sign selected We can display that if we want by lt p gt Your sign is this sign lt p gt We now need a button to trigger the api call once the sign is selected and retrieve us with the horoscope we came looking for For that matter I also created a boolean value that is going to create some conditional rendering on the UI and make the whole thing have some sense On the data we add isReading property data return selected isReading false and we add the getToday method and the reset method methods getToday this store dispatch app GET TODAY this isReading true reset this isReading false Then under the select menu we add this to the template lt p v if this isReading class fadeIn pt text

海外TECH	DEV Community	Optimizing Lists in React - Solving Performance Problems and Anti-patterns	https://dev.to/federicoterzi/optimizing-lists-in-react-solving-performance-problems-and-anti-patterns-2ph4	Optimizing Lists in React Solving Performance Problems and Anti patternsI m Federico a Software Engineer specialized in Frontend Development and System Programming You can find out more about my work on Twitter YouTube and GitHub This post originally appeared on my personal blog React is the most popular front end framework and that s for a reason Besides being funded by one of the largest companies on the planet it s also built around a few key concepts one way data flow immutable data functional components hooks that make it easier than ever to create robust applications That said it s not without pitfalls It s easy to write inefficient code in React with useless re renders being the common enemy Usually you start from a simple application and gradually build features on top of it At first the application is small enough to make the inefficiencies unnoticeable but as the complexity grows so does the component hierarchy and thus the number of re renders Then once the application speed becomes unbearable according to your standards you start profiling and optimizing the problematic areas In this article we are going to discuss the optimization process for lists which are notorious sources of performance problems in React Most of these techniques apply to both React and React Native applications Starting from a problematic exampleWe ll start from a problematic example and gradually discuss the process of identifying and solving the different issues The proposed example is a simple list of selectable items with a few performance problems Clicking on an item toggles the selection status but the operation is visibly laggy Our goal is to make the selection feel snappy You can find the complete code as follows a Codesandbox is also available import useState from react Create mock data with elements containing increasing itemsconst data new Array fill map i gt i map n gt id n name Item n export default function App An array containing the selected items const selected setSelected useState Select or unselect the given item const toggleItem item gt if selected includes item setSelected selected item else setSelected selected filter current gt current item return lt div className App gt lt h gt List Example lt h gt lt List data data selectedItems selected toggleItem toggleItem gt lt div gt const List data selectedItems toggleItem gt return lt ul gt data map item gt lt ListItem name item name selected selectedItems includes item onClick gt toggleItem item gt lt ul gt const ListItem name selected onClick gt Run an expensive operation to simulate a load In real world JS applications this could be either a custom JS elaboration or a complex render expensiveOperation selected return lt li style selected textDecoration line through undefined onClick onClick gt name lt li gt This is an example of an expensive JS operation that we might execute in the render function to simulate a load In real world applications this operation could be either a custom JS elaboration or just a complex renderconst expensiveOperation selected gt Here we use selected just because we want to simulate an operation that depends on the props let total selected for let i i lt i total Math random return total If you want to practice feel free to pause reading and try to spot the problems yourself firstLet s dive into the analysis Missing key propThe first thing we can notice from the console is that we are not passing the key prop when rendering the list items which is caused by this code data map item gt lt ListItem name item name selected selectedItems includes item onClick gt toggleItem item gt As you might already know the key prop is critical for dynamic lists to work correctly in React as it helps the framework identify which items have changed are added or are removed A common beginners anti pattern is to solve the problem by passing the item s index data map item index gt lt ListItem key index name item name selected selectedItems includes item onClick gt toggleItem item gt Despite working for simple use cases this approach leads to multiple unexpected behaviors when the list is dynamic with items being added or removed For example if you delete an item in the middle of a list at index N then all list items located at positions N will now have a different key That causes React to “confuse which mapped component belongs to which items If you want to know more about the potential pitfalls of using the index as key this article is a great resource Therefore you should specify a key prop with something that uniquely identifies the item being rendered If the data you re receiving is coming from a backend you might be able to use the database s unique id as key Otherwise you could generate a client side random id with nanoid when creating the items Luckily each of our own items has it s own id property so we should handle it as follows data map item gt lt ListItem key item id name item name selected selectedItems includes item onClick gt toggleItem item gt Adding the key solves the previous warning but we still have a significant lag when selecting an item It s time to go serious and open the profiler Profiling the listNow that we solved the key warning we are ready to tackle the performance problem At this stage using a profiler can help to track down the slow areas and therefore guide our optimization so that s what we are going to do When working with React there are two main profilers you can use the browser s built in profiler such as the one available inside Chrome s Dev Tools and the profiler provided by the React DevTools extension Both of them are useful in different scenarios From my experience the React DevTools profiler is a good starting point as it gives you a component aware performance representation which is helpful to track down the specific components that are causing problems whereas the browser s profiler works at a lower level and it s mostly helpful in those cases where the performance problems are not directly related to a component for example due to a slow method or Redux reducer For this reason we are going to start with the React DevTools profiler so make sure to have the extension installed Then you can access the Profiler tool from Chrome s dev tools gt Profiler Before starting we are going to set up two settings that will help us in the optimization process In Chrome s Performance tab set CPU throttling to x That will simulate a slower CPU making slowdowns much more evident In React DevTools Profiler tab click on the Gear icon gt Profiler gt “Record why each component rendered while profiling This will help us track down the causes for useless re renders Once the configuration is done we are ready to profile our sample todo app Go ahead and click on the Record button then select some items in the list and finally hit stop recording This is the result we obtain after selecting items On the top right side you see highlighted in red the commits which in short are the renders that caused the DOM to update As you can see the current commit took milliseconds to render By hovering on the various elements we can tell that most of the time is spent rendering the list items with an average of milliseconds per item Spending milliseconds rendering a single item is not inherently bad As long as the entire operation takes less than ms the action would still be perceived as snappy by the user Our biggest problem is that selecting a single item causes all the items to be re rendered and that s what we are going to tackle in the next section A question we should ask ourselves at this point is what s the expected number of items to re render after an action In this particular case the answer is one as the result of a click is a new item being selected with none of the others being affected Another scenario might be a single selection list where at most one item could be selected at any given time In that case clicking on an item should cause the re render of two items as we need to render both the selected one and the one being unselected Preventing re renders with React memoIn the previous section we discussed how selecting a single item causes the entire list to be re rendered Ideally we would like to re render only the items whose looks are affected by the new selection We can do that using the React memo higher order component In a nutshell React memo compares the new props with the old ones and if they are equal it reuses the previous render Otherwise if the props are different it re renders the component It s important to note that React executes a shallow comparison of the props which must be taken into account when passing objects and methods as props You can also override the comparison function though I would advise against it as it makes the code less maintainable more on this later Now that we know the basics of React memo let s create another component by wrapping the ListItem with it import memo from react const MemoizedListItem memo ListItem We can now use MemoizedListItem instead of ListItem in the list data map item gt lt MemoizedListItem key item id name item name selected selectedItems includes item onClick gt toggleItem item gt Nice We now have memoized the ListItem If you go ahead and try the application you ll notice something is wrong The application is still slow If we open up the profiler as we previously did and record a selection we should be presented with something like the following As you can see we are still re rendering all the items Why is it happening If you hover on one of the list items you ll see the Why did this render section In our case it says Props changed onClick which means our items are re rendering due to the onClick callback we are passing to each item As we previously discussed React memo does a shallow comparison of the props by default Which basically means calling the strick equality operator over each prop In our case the check wouldbe roughly equivalent to function arePropsEqual prevProps nextProps return prevProps name nextProps name amp amp prevProps selected nextProps selected amp amp prevProps onClick nextProps onClick While name and selected are compared by value because they are primitive types string and boolean respectively onClick is comparedby reference being a function When we created the list items we passed the onClick callback as an anonymous closure onClick gt toggleItem item Every time the list re renders each item receives a new callback function From an equality perspective the callback has changed and therefore the MemoizedListItem is re rendered If the equality aspect is still unclear to you go ahead and open the JS console inside your browser If you type true true you ll notice that the result is true But if you type gt gt you ll get false as result That s because two functions are equal only if they share the same identity andevery time we create a new closure we generate a new identity Therefore we need a way to keep the identity of the onClick callback stable to prevent useless re renders and that s what we are going to discuss in the next sections A common anti patternBefore discussing the proposed solution let s analyze a common anti pattern being used in these cases Given that the React memo method accepts a custom comparator you might be tempted to provide one thatartifically excludes onClick from the check Something like the following const MemoizedListItem memo ListItem prevProps nextProps gt prevProps name nextProps name amp amp prevProps selected nextProps selected The onClick prop is not compared In this case even with a changing onClick callback the list items won t be re rendered unless name or selected are updated If you go ahead and try this approach you ll notice the list feels snappy now but something is wrong As you can see selecting multiple items doesn t work as expected now with items being randomly selected and unselected This is happening because the toggleItem function is not pure as it depends on the previous value of the selected items If you exclude the onClick callback check from the React memo comparator then your components might receive an outdated stale version of the callback causing all those glitches In this particular case the way the toggleItem is implemented is not optimal and we can easily convert it to a pure function in fact we are going to do that in the next section But my point here is by excluding the onClick callback from the memocomparator you re exposing the application to subtle staleness bugs Some might argue that as long as the onClick callback is kept pure then this approach is perfectly acceptable Personally I consider this an anti pattern for two reasons In complex codebases is relatively easy to transform a pure function into a non pure one by mistake By writing a custom comparator you re creating an additional maintenance burden What if the ListItem needs to accept another color parameter in the future Then you ll need to refactor to the comparator as shown below If you forget to add it which is relatively easy in complex codebases with multiple contributors then you are again exposing your component to staleness bugs const MemoizedListItem memo ListItem prevProps nextProps gt prevProps name nextProps name amp amp prevProps selected nextProps selected amp amp prevProps color nextProps color If a custom comparator is not advisable what should we do to solve this problem then Making callback identities stableOur goal is to use the base version of React memo without a custom comparator Choosing this path will both improve the maintainability of the component and its robustness against future changes For the memoization to work correctly though we ll need to refactor the callback to keep its identity stable otherwisethe equality check performed by React memo will prevent the memoization The traditional way to keep function identities stable in React is to use the useCallback hook The hook accepts a function and a dependency array and as long as the dependencies won t change neither will the identity of the callback Let s refactor our example to use useCallback Our first attempt is to move the anonymous closure gt toggleItem item inside a separate method inside useCallback const List data selectedItems toggleItem gt const handleClick useCallback gt toggleItem How do we get the item toggleItem return lt ul gt data map item gt lt MemoizedListItem key item id name item name selected selectedItems includes item onClick handleClick gt lt ul gt We are now facing a problem previously the anonymous closure captured the current item in the map iteration and then passed it to the toggleItem function as an argument But now we are not declaring the handleClick handler inside the iteration so how can we access the selected item in the callback Let s discuss a possible solution Refactoring the ListItem componentCurrently the ListItem s onClick callback doesn t provide any information about the item being selected If it did we would be able to easily solve this problem so let s refactor the ListItem and List components to provide this information Firstly we change the ListItem component to accept the full item object and given that the name prop is now redundant we remove it Then we introduce an handler for the onClick event to also provide the item as argument This is our end result const ListItem item selected onClick gt Run an expensive operation to simulate a load In real world JS applications this could be either a custom JS elaboration or a complex render expensiveOperation selected return lt li style selected textDecoration line through undefined onClick gt onClick item gt item name lt li gt As you can see the onClick now provides the current item as a parameter But wait You used an anonymous closure again in the li s onClick handler shouldn t we avoid them to prevent re renderings While we could create another memoized callback with useCallback inside the ListItem component to handle the click event that would offer no performance improvements in this case The problem with the anonymous closure we discussed earlier in the List item was that it broke the React memo memoization for the MemoizedListItem Given that we are not memoizing the li element then there is no performance benefit from having a stable identity for this callback We can then refactor the List component to pass the item prop instead of name and to make use of the newly available item information in the handleClick callback const List data selectedItems toggleItem gt const handleClick useCallback item gt We now receive the selected item toggleItem item toggleItem return lt ul gt data map item gt lt MemoizedListItem key item id item item We pass the full item instead of the name selected selectedItems includes item onClick handleClick gt lt ul gt Nice Let s go ahead and try the refactored version It works but it s still slow If we open up the profiler we can see the whole list is still being rendered As you can see from the profiler the onClick identity is still changing That means our handleClick identity is being changed at every re render Another common anti patternBefore diving into the proper solution let s discuss a common anti pattern used in these cases Given that the useCallback accepts a dependency array you could be tempted to specify an empty one to keep the identity fixed const handleClick useCallback item gt toggleItem item Despite keeping the identity stable this approach suffers from the same staleness bugs we discussed in previous sections If we run it you ll notice the items get unselected as it happened when we specified the custom comparator In general you should always specify the correct dependencies in useCallback useEffect and useMemo otherwise you re exposing the application to potentially hard to debug staleness bugs Solving the toggleItem identity problemAs we previously discussed the problem with our handleClick callback is that its toggleItem dependency identity changes at each render causing it to re render as well const handleClick useCallback item gt toggleItem item toggleItem Our first attempt is to wrap toggleItem with useCallback as we did with handleClick const toggleItem useCallback item gt if selected includes item setSelected selected item else setSelected selected filter current gt current item selected This does not solve the problem though as this callback depends on the external state variable selected which changes every time setSelected is called If we want its identity to remain stable we need a way to make toggleItem pure Luckily we can use useState s functional updates to accomplish our goal const toggleItem useCallback item gt setSelected prevSelected gt if prevSelected includes item return prevSelected item else return prevSelected filter current gt current item As you can see we wrapped our previous logic inside the setSelected call which in turn provides the previous state value we need to compute the new selected items If we go ahead and run the refactored example it works and it s also snappy We can also run the usual profiler to get a sense of what s happening Hovering on the item being rendered Hovering on the other items As you can see after selecting an item we only render the current one being selected now while the others are being memoized A note on functional state updatesIn the example we just discussed converting our toggleItem method to the functional mode of useState was relatively trivial In real world scenarios things might not be as straightforward For example your function might depend on multiple state pieces const selected setSelected useState const isEnabled setEnabled useState false const toggleItem useCallback item gt Only toggle the items if enabled if isEnabled setSelected prevSelected gt if prevSelected includes item return prevSelected item else return prevSelected filter current gt current item isEnabled Every time the isEnabled value changes your toggleItem identity will change as well In these scenarios you should either merge both sub states into the same useState call or even better convert it to a useReducer one Given that useReducer s dispatch function has a stable identity you can scale this approach to complex states Moreover the same applies to Redux s dispatch function so you can move the item toggle logic at the Redux level and convert our toggleItem function to something as const dispatch useDispatch Given that the dispatch identity is stable the toggleItem will be stable as well const toggleItem useCallback item gt dispatch toggleItemAction item dispatch Virtualizing the list Before closing the article I wanted to briefly cover list virtualization a common technique used to improve performance for long lists In a nutshell list virtualization is based on the idea of rendering just a sub set of the items in a given list generally the currently visible ones and deferring the others For example if you have a list with a thousand items but only are visible at any given time then we might only render these first and the others can be rendered on demand when needed i e after scrolling List virtualization offers two main advantages compared to rendering the entire list Faster initial start time as we only need to render a subset of the listLower memory usage as only a subset of the items is being rendered at any given timeThat said list virtualization is not a silver bullet you should always use as it increases complexity and can be glitchy Personally I d avoid virtualized lists if you are only dealing with hundreds of items as the memoization techniques we discussed in this article are often effective enough older mobile devices might require a lower threshold As always the right approach depends on the specific use case so I d highly recommend profiling your list before diving into more complex optimization techniques We are going to cover virtualization in a future article In the meanwhile you can read more about virtualized lists in React with libraries like react window and in React Native with the built in FlatList component ConclusionIn this article we covered list optimization in depth We started from a problematic example and gradually solved most of the performance problems We also discussed the main anti patterns you should be aware of along with potential ways to solve them In conclusion lists are often the cause of performance problems in React as all items are being re rendered every time something changes by default React memo is an effective tool to mitigate the issue but you might need to refactor your application to make your props identities stable The final code is available in this CodeSandbox if you re interested PS there s one small useMemo optimization left to add in our example can you spot it yourself	2022-02-16 19:33:27

海外TECH	DEV Community	Middleware in Go	https://dev.to/cdugga/middleware-in-go-5019	Middleware in GoMiddleware is a powerful idea that allows us to decompose complex systems into layers of abstractions When we discuss middleware in the context of Go we are referring to the ability of some self contained code third party or other to hook into a server s request response processing before or after its handler is invoked This is a powerful concept which allows us to separate cross cutting concerns such as ObservabilityLoggingAuthenticationMiddleware code typically does one thing and then passes the request to the next layer or final processing before returning to the client This results in code that is more modular easier to maintain and reusable How It WorksHTTP request processing in Go is handled by two things ServeMux and handlers The ServeMux a request multiplexer simplifies the association between URLs and handlers by matching the URL of incoming requests against predefined patterns and then forwarding to the appropriate handler Using middleware we can interrupt this flow and instruct our middleware function to act before or after the handler function has executed We can also dictate whether to apply the middleware to all request or just those matching a particular pattern The following snippet represents a typical example of how we would use a ServerMux to associate an incoming request URL with a specific handler func main mux http NewServeMux mux Handle users http HandlerFunc usersList func usersList w http ResponseWriter req http Request fetch users Our handler of type func w http ResponseWriter req http Request doesn t satisfy the http Handler interface and therefore cannot be passed directly to mux Handle To resolve this issue and satisfy the http Handler contract we use the http HandlerFunc usersList expression Note this is not a function call but instead a conversion The HandlerFunc type has methods and satisfies the http Handler interface Its ServeHTTP method calls our underlying function therefore acting as an adapter We can now use our usersList function as a http handler now that we are satisfying the http Handler interface The HandlerFunc type is an adapter to allow the use of ordinary functions as HTTP handlers If f is a function with the appropriate signature HandlerFunc f is a Handler that calls f type HandlerFunc func ResponseWriter Request ServeHTTP calls f w r func f HandlerFunc ServeHTTP w ResponseWriter r Request f w r Adding MiddlewareArmed with the knowledge of how a typical request handler is constructed we can now quite easily extend our example to include a middleware capability Once again we are relying on the http HandlerFunc adapter type to allow us wrap our middleware function so it implements the http Handler interface This time we also want the ability to chain handlers together func middlewareFunc next http Handler http Handler return http HandlerFunc func w http ResponseWriter r http Request Some logic … next ServeHTTP w r The anonymous inner function closes over the next variable allowing us to effectively chain or transfer control from this handler to the next by calling ServeHTTP Because the inner function has the signature func rw http ResponseWriter r http Request we can convert it to a HandlerFunc type using the http HandlerFunc adapter The signature of our middleware function can be replicated by other middlewares to create arbitrarily long chains Control can also be stopped at any time by simply issuing a return from the middleware handler instead of calling the next handler	2022-02-16 19:31:13

Rider	https://dev.to/sumstrm/how-to-use-a-secure-private-nuget-source-in-visual-studio-or-jetbrains-rider-34hm	How to use a secure private NuGet source in Visual Studio or JetBrains RiderA how to guide on using a secure and private NuGet package source for your NET dependencies in Visual Studio and JetBrains Rider NET the Microsoft supported open source framework is celebrating years And wow has there been a lot of changes in NET and software development in general in those years Where before every piece of code and functionality needed to be produced in house there are now millions of available packages in central repositories for users to consume ーwith obvious efficiency advantages NuGet the package manager for NET allow developers to easily share and consume reusable packages dependencies for their C F and Visual Basic NET applications With nuget org providing easy access to over millions versions both from Microsoft and open source developers But using more and more open source components also puts advanced requirements on keeping control over the code used With security attacks targeting the open source software supply chain increased by in alone it is more important than ever for organizations to protect the software they build ーand every developer environment CI CD system and server Need a private NuGet feed for both internal NET packages and public dependencies Bytesafe feeds are cloud hosted and compatible with Visual Studio JetBrains Rider and the NuGet CLI You can get started instantly and build your projects securely with the tools of your choice Four reasons to use a private NuGet feedA private NuGet source is a necessity for sharing internal packages and code in many organizations But a private source also allows for control and help keep unwanted dependencies out Secure source for open source dependencies Don t allow free entry for untrusted code from public sources Include approved dependencies according to your rules Share internal packages Authorized and personal access to your organization s private packages Cache proxy public packages Don t depend directly on public repositories like nuget org Make sure your organization s packages are always available when you need them Enforce security policies Scan for vulnerabilities and automatically block access to unwanted and untrusted dependencies Getting started with a private NuGet feedUsing a private NuGet feed instead of the default package source is easy With some simple config you can have your IDE s like Visual Studio and JetBrains Rider fetch dependencies from a private feed in place of nuget org On top of IDE support the nuget package management tool has full support for private feeds both as a target when deploying packages or as a package source for dependencies These steps assume users have access to a Bytesafe workspace If not ーSign up for Bytesafe today for free Create a NuGet feedTo get started you need to create a NuGet registry the Bytesafe equivalent of a feed or repository and configure access to it in your client of choice After you have created your NuGet registry you need to add a package source to your configuration Create an access token in Bytesafe and add it together with the registry URL to your list of approved package sources The access token ensures only intended users have access to packages stored in Bytesafe Visual Studio amp JetBrains Rider users can do this directly in the NuGet package tool in their IDE see sections on IDE integrations for more details CLI users can alternatively add the package source

this tutorial here Download the Source CodeRemember when we talked about HTML and CSS we briefly introduced something called SVG It allows us to create beautiful images by simply using HTML tags Today we are going to introduce something similar called canvas except it allows us to use javascript to create graphics on web pages And because it uses a programming language instead of a simple markup language that makes canvas much more flexible and powerful compared to SVG The CanvasWe know that the SVG has a DOM tree structure and the shape colour and position are all represented using HTML tags The canvas however is one single HTML node but it encapsulates a space on the web page where you can create beautiful artworks using JavaScript This space can be defined using the lt canvas gt tag Here is an example where we create a simple rectangle inside the canvas space lt canvas width px height px gt lt canvas gt lt script gt let canvas document querySelector canvas let context canvas getContext d Define the colour of the rectangle context fillStyle red The first two parameters means that the top left corner of the ractagle is at coordinate The last two parameters define the width and height of the ractangle width px height px context fillRect lt script gt The getContext method is used to access the drawing interface which is like a toolbox where your digital pens and pencils are stored The parameter d stands for two dimensional graphics If you are interested in creating three dimensional graphics you should use webgl instead But we are only focusing on the D system for now Also notice that the defined the size of the canvas at the beginning If you don t do that the canvas element will take a default width of pixels and a height of pixels LinesThe rectangle we just created is solid the inside of the rectangle is filled What if we want something different It is also possible for us to create a rectangle that is stroked instead by using a very similar method strokeRect This method also takes four parameters the first two define the position and the last two define the size lt canvas gt lt canvas gt lt script gt let canvas document querySelector canvas let context canvas getContext d Define the colour position and size context strokeStyle blue context strokeRect Define the width of the strok and create a new rectangle context lineWidth context strokeRect lt script gt PathsNow you might be wondering that s not so exciting we can create rectangles using SVGs just as easily Don t worry the real power of the canvas starts now First we need to understand what a path is A path is a sequence of lines For example we have a line that starts from coordinate to the second line from to and the third line from to These three lines will form a path The canvas allows us to do something like this lt canvas width px height px gt lt canvas gt lt script gt let canvas document querySelector canvas let context canvas getContext d context lineWidth context strokeStyle green context beginPath The path starts at context moveTo Drawing the path gt gt gt gt context lineTo context lineTo context lineTo context lineTo context stroke lt script gt With paths we can create any shape we want For example the following code creates a triangle lt canvas width px height px gt lt canvas gt lt script gt let canvas document querySelector canvas let context canvas getContext d context beginPath context fillStyle red context moveTo context lineTo context lineTo context lineTo context fill lt script gt CurvesA path could be formed by straight lines and it could also be formed by curves A curve however is a little bit more difficult to define To define a curve we need a start point a destination point and a control point The curve will not go through the control point directly but instead it defines a point where the tangent of the start and destination point goes through This is a little hard to understand I suggest you get familiar with the pen tool in Photoshop or the path tool in GIMP first They share the same concept except when you are coding you need to imagine what the curve looks like Here is another example We ll first draw the curve and then draw the tangent lines and the control point so that it helps you understand what s going on here lt canvas width px height px gt lt canvas gt lt script gt let canvas document querySelector canvas let context canvas getContext d context beginPath start point context moveTo control point destination point context quadraticCurveTo destination point tangent context lineTo start point tangent context moveTo context lineTo context closePath context stroke lt script gt Sometimes we want the start point tangent and the destination point to have different control points That is also possible to achieve using the bezierCurveTo method lt canvas width px height px gt lt canvas gt lt script gt let canvas document querySelector canvas let context canvas getContext d context beginPath start point context moveTo start control point destination control point destination point context bezierCurveTo destination point tangent context lineTo start point tangent context moveTo context lineTo context closePath context stroke lt script gt TextsTexts might also be useful when we are creating graphs We can draw texts using either fillText and strokeText The latter will only render the outline of the texts instead of filling it lt canvas width px height px gt lt canvas gt lt script gt let canvas document querySelector canvas let context canvas getContext d context font px Georgia context fillText Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit context strokeText Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit lt script gt The last two parameters indicate the position of the text but unlike drawing shapes it defines the coordinate of the start of the text s baseline The baseline is the line that the text stands on TransformationsThere are primarily three types of transformations translation translate scale scale and rotation rotate Remember that these methods need to be put before the graph you wish to transform Translation will move the graph from one position to another lt canvas width px height px gt lt canvas gt lt script gt let canvas document querySelector canvas let context canvas getContext d Move whatever graph created after to the right for px and downward for px context translate Create a graph context beginPath context fillStyle red context moveTo context lineTo context lineTo context lineTo context fill lt script gt The scale will make the original graph bigger or smaller lt script gt let canvas document querySelector canvas let context canvas getContext d Make the graph times wider along x axis time shorter along y axis context scale Create a graph lt script gt And finally we can rotate the graph along an axis lt canvas width px height px gt lt canvas gt lt script gt let canvas document querySelector canvas let context canvas getContext d Rotate the graph clockwise for degrees Notice that the rotate method takes radian instead of degree context rotate Math PI Create a graph lt script gt Bitmap GraphicsIn computer graphics there is something called vector graphic and bitmap graphic All the graphs we ve been talking about so far are vector graphics Their primary difference is that the bitmap graphics are formed by pixels while the vector graphics are not Instead they are formed by paths with a direction and a magnitude length like a vector However it is necessary for us sometimes to insert some bitmap graphics in our vector graphic design We can do that by using the drawImage method lt canvas width px height px gt lt canvas gt lt script gt let canvas document querySelector canvas let context canvas getContext d let img document createElement img img src cat jpg img addEventListener load gt context drawImage img lt script gt In this example the image will be drawn at the coordinate with the size px px We need to add the event listener because the image will load after the canvas without it so we have to make the canvas wait for the image to load first	2022-02-16 19:22:32

algorithms to curate their For You feed The feed is personalized to every user s unique interests and interactions with TikToks content OutlineIntroCategorizing contentRecommendation systemConclusion IntroTikTok is known by its users for having a hyper personalized addictive algorithm TikTok s algorithm based homepage the “For You feed differs from other social media platforms in that it serves users content based on specific user input and engagement rather than the traditional likes comments and following Aided by machine learning ML algorithms TikTok has the most downloaded app in forbes Categorizing ContentAt nearly every stage of their content strategy TikTok deploys an ML algorithm to give themselves quick and insightful data The first step to TikTok s recommendation strategy is analyzing the video based on three factors computer vision natural language processing NLP and metadata Computer vision is a deep learning subset of machine learning process which uses neural networks to decipher images within a photo or video The computer vision algorithm is backed by a dataset of millions of labeled images that allows the algorithm to recognize new images based on specific traits and characteristics It enables the algorithm to see and understand the content of the videos being created TikTok uses computer vision to analyze facial features products and other traits in people and objects to quickly understand the video s content It classifies the individual feature of the video to optimize categorization NLP is then used to translate and describe the audio content of a video NLP first extracts the audio information from a video and applies a level of analysis towards it This could either come from classification or clustering models Classification uses supervised ML which takes pre labeled data and uses it to train and classify the content of new data Clustering is a form of unsupervised ML which finds patterns in the data and groups similar findings together Once the data is extracted and grouped it can then determine who that content is most useful for The final step in categorizing a TikTok video is the metadata that the user provides when posting caption hashtags etc Extraction of this content is primarily done by the user themselves Recommendation systemTikTok s recommendation algorithm is highlighted on the For You feed TikTok s flagship feature According to TikTok their For You feed is “a stream of videos curated to your interests making it easy to find content and creators you love…powered by a recommendation system that delivers content to each user that is likely to be of interest to that particular user While crossover exists on standout popular videos every For You feed is unique and catered towards individual users Video classification and categorization is just one form of data TikTok uses to predict a successful user interaction TikTok gathers a large sum of their data from user generated interactions on the app TikTok s short form video content allows the company the opportunity to analyze watch time and rewatch rate of certain videos According to the New York Times “it TikTok has chosen to optimize for two closely related metrics in the stream of videos it serves “retention ーthat is whether a user comes back ーand “time spent The app wants to keep you there as long as possible When users open TikTok they will be presented with a few different videos across varying topics Based on how the user interacts with each video re watches likes shares ignores a new stream of videos will be curated Based on the initial engagement TikTok s algorithm can then apply content based filtering to further show the user relevant videos Content based filtering looks for similarities between new videos and videos that a user has already engaged with The algorithm will then serve up new content to a user based on the content they have previously interacted with Source Veed io Once enough data is generated about a user another layer of recommendation collaborative filtering is applied to the For You feed Used in other applications like Netflix and Spotify TikTok uses collaborative filtering to feed users videos based on the behavior of similar users As an overview to how this system works if User A engages with video and user B engages with and TikTok s algorithm is likely to pick up on the similarities between the two users and serve video to user B and video to user A Users are continually being served content that is based on the content based and collaborative filtering algorithms Still TikTok video recommendations don t exist within a vacuum The algorithm takes into account new trends and current events to feed their users new content Users are often served with random content that doesn t match their watch history or that of their closely related peers This comes in hopes the user will engage with this content and the cycle is able to repeat itself ConclusionTikTok s powerful and addictive algorithms have elevated them to billion users and according to Forbes the world s most popular web domain in Their strategic use of ML has no doubt played a role in their success TikTok s use of ML demonstrates the power that good data and a great algorithm can have in connecting users to the content they want to consume	2022-02-16 19:15:15
海外TECH	DEV Community	Optimizing your MySQL queries	https://dev.to/mauriciolinhares/optimizing-your-mysql-queries-437i	Optimizing your MySQL queriesOdds are if you re doing any commercial programming you ve had to interact with a SQL database They re a staple in programming due to how easy it is to store and retrieve data on them and the many free and open source options available Still people have trouble figuring out how to optimize their queries correctly so let s fix that While this text is focused on MySQL specifically most of the discussion is also true for other databases So even if you don t use MySQL you should learn something new that is going to be helpful on the SQL database you re using right now The database we ll use here is the employees db from MySQL itself This repo has a docker compose setup on how to start and run the database so you can run the commands along EXPLAIN to meThe first thing you have to learn to optimize queries in relational databases is to use the EXPLAIN command EXPLAIN runs the query you ve created through the database engine to check what it thinks it s going to take to run the command It won t run the command but it checks how many rows it believes it will need to access to satisfy the query So given the following table CREATE TABLE employees emp no INT NOT NULL birth date DATE NOT NULL first name VARCHAR NOT NULL last name VARCHAR NOT NULL gender ENUM M F NOT NULL hire date DATE NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY emp no And a query that finds all the employees named Joe SELECT FROM employees WHERE first name Joe You running a query with EXPLAIN before it all so an EXPLAIN on the previous query would be EXPLAIN SELECT FROM employees WHERE first name Joe G The G here is specific to MySQL to say you want the data printed in rows Here s what it prints mysql gt EXPLAIN SELECT FROM employees WHERE first name Joe G row id select type SIMPLE table employees partitions NULL type ALLpossible keys NULL key NULL key len NULL ref NULL rows filtered Extra Using where row in set warning sec So when we ask the database what it thinks about this query its response is a bit harsh It says it has to look for rows this table has entries so it s almost every single row to find out there are no employees named Joe There are no keys to be used keys here would be database indexes and we re using a WHERE clause to filter the results So we know we have to find users given the first name and the EXPLAIN response shows there are no indexes on this specific column let s add one CREATE INDEX employees first name idx ON employees first name Now running EXPLAIN again mysql gt EXPLAIN SELECT FROM employees WHERE first name Joe G row id select type SIMPLE table employees partitions NULL type refpossible keys employees first name idx key employees first name idx key len ref const rows filtered Extra NULL row in set warning sec A single row checked How did this happen When you ask for the database to create an index on a column it creates an optimized structure that allows you to find all rows associated with a specific value quickly Think about it as if it maps a value Joe to all rows that have that value on the column you created the index Indexes are the magical solution We should create indexes for every column in the table and we should be good right You should have an index for all columns you use for querying a table This is a pretty common misconception of how indexes work in relational databases If you have an index for every column every query is automatically optimized as the database can use all these indexes to find the rows but this is not true MySQL can in some cases use more than one index when querying data If we create separate indexes on first name and last name and try to find a specific user with values for both we get this mysql gt EXPLAIN SELECT FROM employees WHERE last name Halloran AND first name Aleksander G row id select type SIMPLE table employees partitions NULL type index mergepossible keys employees first name idx employees last name idx key employees last name idx employees first name idx key len ref NULL rows filtered Extra Using intersect employees last name idx employees first name idx Using whereSo we re still doing good only one row checked but the extra field has an interesting reference intersect employees last name idx employees first name idx MySQL sees two indexes here and decides to use them both for the query It s still better than not having an index but we re going through two separate data structures to find the value instead of a single one If we now get an index on both last name and first name this is the output mysql gt EXPLAIN SELECT FROM employees WHERE last name Halloran AND first name Aleksander G row id select type SIMPLE table employees partitions NULL type refpossible keys employees first name idx employees last name idx employees last first name idx key employees last first name idx key len ref const const rows filtered Extra NULL row in set warning sec The server digs into a single index to find the row that matches the expected value instead of two Having multiple rows in an index also helps with covering indexes a feature we ll discuss later Picking index columnsPicking indexes is about how you query the table and what fields are part of the queries When looking for employees we want to find them by first and last name so we have an index on both of them When creating an index for multiple columns the order of the columns matters Given we have an employee called Georgi Facello our index would have it referenced under the entry Facello Georgi the index is last name first name so it only works for queries where you are looking for last name and first name or last name alone A query that only looks for first name can t use this index as the index matches left to right For that you d need an index that starts with first name It s also not valid for a query where you need to find someone given a last name or a first name as you d need both columns to be the leftmost columns in the indexes used this would be a case where having separate indexes on the columns would be helpful MySQL would run a union on both indexes to perform the query Now if you re querying all or most columns in the index what order should they have The columns with the biggest variety in values should come first You can quickly calculate an average of how common values are in a column with a query like the following mysql gt SELECT COUNT DISTINCT emp no COUNT FROM employees COUNT DISTINCT emp no COUNT The primary key is the perfect example Every row has a unique value so we get We now want the columns we ll use in the index to be as close to as we can let s look at first name mysql gt SELECT COUNT DISTINCT first name COUNT FROM employees COUNT DISTINCT first name COUNT Then look at last name mysql gt SELECT COUNT DISTINCT last name COUNT FROM employees COUNT DISTINCT last name COUNT So last name gives us better filtering than first name making it the best column on the index s left side Still this is an average and as you might have found out the hard way in other places averages are good at hiding outliers One here would impact query performance directly so we also want to check if there are visible outliers on these columns mysql gt SELECT last name COUNT AS total FROM employees GROUP BY last name ORDER BY total DESC LIMIT last name total Baba Gelosh Coorg Sudbeck Farris Adachi Osgood Mandell Neiman Masada So no outliers here Values seem to be pretty close to each other Let s look at first name mysql gt SELECT first name COUNT AS total FROM employees GROUP BY first name ORDER BY total DESC LIMIT first name total Shahab Tetsushi Elgin Anyuan Huican Make Sreekrishna Panayotis Hatem Giri Not bad either Values aren t that far from each other The order we decided on for the index is a pretty good one Now something else you need to account for when creating indexes is how you will sort the results Just like the database uses the index to find rows quickly it can also sort the results if you re sorting on the same columns in the index order For our last name first name index it would mean to ORDER BY last name or ORDER BY last name first name If multiple columns are sorted they all have to be in the same direction so either all ASC or all DESC If they re not all in the same order the database can t use the index itself to sort the results and would have to resort to temporary tables to load the results and sort them Covering indexesAnd another important reason to have indexes that hold multiple columns is the covering indexes feature that MySQL provides When your query only loads the primary key and columns in the index the database doesn t even have to look at the tables to read the results It reads everything from the index alone Here s what it looks like mysql gt explain select emp no last name first name from employees where last name Baba G row id select type SIMPLE table employees partitions NULL type refpossible keys employees last name idx employees last first name idx key employees last first name idx key len ref const rows filtered Extra Using indexThe hint here is Extra Using index which means all the data is read from the index alone As the index already contains all the information we need all indexes include the primary key for the table the database loads everything from it and returns not even reaching out to the table This is the best case scenario for queries especially if your index fits into memory Creating multiple indexesCreating indexes isn t free While they make it faster for us to find data they also slow down any changes to the table as writing to columns with indexes will cause these indexes to be updated So you have to strike a balance between making as many queries as possible fast but also allowing for fast INSERT UPDATE DELETE commands SummarySo when optimizing remember to Use EXPLAIN to find out how the database thinks your query will perform check the command docs here Create indexes that cover the filtering and ordering you want to perform on your queries Evaluate the best order for the columns when creating indexes Try to load as much information from covering indexes as possible One of the best references to optimizing MySQL databases is the High Performance MySQL that is in its th edition and covers from database internals to how to design your database schema to make the most of MySQL If you re running apps on MySQL you should read it If you re not using MySQL it s very likely there is a book just like this one for it as well and you should invest some time in reading it	2022-02-16 19:10:22

海外TECH	DEV Community	Creating a simple file explorer with recursive components in React	https://dev.to/siddharthvenkatesh/creating-a-simple-file-explorer-with-recursive-components-in-react-458h	Creating a simple file explorer with recursive components in React IntroductionRecursion is one of the most common programming constructs there is Recursion in JavaScript land is generally implemented via recursive functions where a function calls itself A very common example of a recursive function is the factorial function It goes like thisfunction factorial x if x return return x factorial x As you can see the function calls itself until the argument becomes This idea can be extended to a variety of scenarios IdeaWhere it gets interesting is when you add React into the mix React components are basically functions So it must be possible for a component to render instances of itself in it ExampleLet s build a simple file explorer to list files and folders Each folder can in turn have multiple files and folders When you click on a folder it should expand to show its contents It is exactly like the File Explorer sidebar in VSCode Sublime etc Let s create a component that mimics this behaviour and uses recursion in the process ImplementationBefore we get started on our component we need a list of files and folders We ll create a json file with a files and folders from a typical React project files jsonHere each entry will have a name property which denotes the name of the file folder a type property which denotes if it is a file or a folder and an items array which in case of a folder will house all the contents in that folder Each entry in the items array will again be an entry with the name type and items properties With this we are ready to create our recursive component Recursive componentOur Directory component will accept a prop called files which will be the contents from our files json file First let s get the easier part out of the way displaying a file If the type property is file we simply render the file nameDirectory jsxNow for the folder part we first render the name of the folder To render the items in a folder all we have to do is loop through the items array and render the lt Directory gt component for each item Our lt Directory gt component now uses recursion to traverse through our file list to render files and folders One final thing left to do is when you click on a folder its contents should show up We can do this by declaring a state variable in our component and toggling it on clicks Great This should be enough to get our app up and running We ll import this component and pass in contents from files json as a prop App jsxNow if we run our app it should give us something like this Thats it We ve created a component which recursively calls itself The complete source code can be found hereCheers	2022-02-16 19:05:38
