海外TECH	DEV Community	Fetch Requests Taught Me the Importance Of console.log()	https://dev.to/marskimiko/fetch-requests-taught-me-the-importance-of-consolelog-351m	Fetch Requests Taught Me the Importance Of console log IntroductionI am new to coding and I think one of the most important lessons I have learned so far is that in order for me to truly learn and understand what I am coding I need to physically see what my code is doing in the background Initially I was just typing out what I thought was right in Visual Studio Code I was running the tests seeing them fail and just trying to edit my code over and over until the tests finally passed This meant I was coding without actually digging into why my code was wrong and checking what it was that my failing code was actually doing in the background So now I am constantly placing console log s throughout my code and seeing what pops up in the console in dev tools I also downloaded the Live Server extension so I can get immediate feedback I m basically going on this rant because the reason I discovered that I needed this was through fetch requests Even though I understood fetch requests I could not wrap my head around how to get the data I was fetching to appear on the page And the first thing that really helped me to understand this was to console log my fetch and see that data in the console and then get it to appear on the page and that is when it really clicked Background I think should probably explain what a fetch request is for the sake of this blog so here you go Note I recently was working on a project where I used the Studio Ghibli API to display a list of Studio Ghibli films in the browser so I will be using references from this project The fetch function in Javascript is used to make a request to the server to retrieve data and display that data in the browser It s a global method on the window object That means you can use it simply by calling fetch and passing in a path to a resource as an argument The request can be used on any API that returns the data in either JSON or XML format When using a fetch request you only need one parameter as opposed to other requests because fetch defaults to send an HTTP GET request Fetch instantaneously returns a promise object The three promise object statuses are pending fulfilled and rejected To use the data that is returned by the fetch and see it in the browser we need to chain on the then method which will keep fetching until the status of the request is fulfilled We can see what this looks like below Step function getFilms fetch then res gt res json then data gt console log data Notice the console log If you are coding along open up your file in the browser open up dev tools and take a look at what is being logged to the console It s an array of objects For me seeing this is so satisfying It s telling me I am doing the right thing I am on right the path and I actually know what I am doing I think this is so important especially when you are learning something new at a quick pace as a means to stop self doubt from taking over Here s what that data looks like in the console Step Ok great So now that we have seen our data we need to get our data on the page In order to do this we need to decide where we want to attach our data to For this project I had an ul in my index html file here s a snippet of that code for reference lt div id main gt lt ul id film list gt lt ul gt lt div id info gt lt div gt lt div gt and decided I would attach the films to the ul in order to have them display in the browser But in order to put them in the unordered list I need to create li s iterate over the li s to attach each object in the array to and ultimately display them in the browser function getFilms const ul document getElementById film list fetch then res gt res json then data gt data forEach film gt ul innerHTML lt li gt film title lt li gt Here s how they show up in the browser ConclusionI m sharing this because for whatever reason it took so long for me to realize how important something as simple as a console log is in regards to your learning It can guide you on how and what to google if you re stuck while coding Stick them throughout your code I think its better that you have too many than not enough and see if this helps show you more about what your code is doing than you understood before	2022-03-08 19:22:22
海外TECH	DEV Community	Terraform - Sensitive Output	https://dev.to/pwd9000/terraform-sensitive-output-2pjm	Terraform Sensitive Output OverviewThis tutorial uses examples from the following GitHub project Azure Terraform Deployments When creating terraform configurations especially when using CI CD tooling such as Azure DevOps or GitHub it is very easy to overlook what exactly is being output as part of a Terraform configuration plan especially if the configuration contains sensitive data This could lead to sensitive data and settings to be leaked In todays tutorial we will look at examples on how we can protect and hide sensitive data in terraform output using masking Sensitive Variable TypeIn the following demo configuration we will use Terraform to create the following resources in Azure Resource GroupApp Service PlanApp InsightsApp ServiceLet s take a closer look at the App service configuration appservices tf resource azurerm app service APPSVC name var appsvc

site config acr use managed identity credentials true ftps state FtpsOnly linux fx version var asp kind linux local linux fx version null app settings var appsvc settings Notice the setting called app settings var appsvc settings The variable for this setting is defined as a map variables tf variable appsvc settings type map any description Specifies the app service settings to be created default null If we pass the following variable into the terraform config appsvc settings APPINSIGHTS INSTRUMENTATIONKEY sensitive Key sensitive key P sswrd sensitive key P sswrd Notice that when the terraform plan is being run terraform will actually output the variable into the terraform plan and log to the CI CD tooling as output This can be an issue because the data will be leaked to anyone who has access to the CI CD logs output Especially dangerous if the repository or project is public So what we can do to mask the setting from output is to mark the variable as sensitive We can do that by adding sensitive true to the variable variables tf variable appsvc settings type map any description Specifies the app service settings to be created default null sensitive true Notice now that when the terraform plan is being run terraform will mask the output of the the variable Sensitive Output TypeSimilarly to variables outputs can also be marked as sensitive For example say we want to create a sensitive output we can mark the output as sensitive true as shown the the below example appservices tf resource azurerm application insights INSIGHTS name var app insights name location azurerm resource group RG location resource group name azurerm resource group RG name application type web workspace id var workspace id null var workspace id null output insights key value azurerm application insights INSIGHTS instrumentation key sensitive true Sensitive FunctionAnother way to mark out put sensitive is by using the sensitive function in the demo configuration let s change the way we send app settings to the app service configuration by creating a dynamic locals config instead of a variable local tf locals Appsvc Settings app settings default settings APPINSIGHTS

var appsvc name latest As you can see the locals configuration has two configurations one called default settings and another called linux app settings we can send the relevant config by using the terraform lookup function as shown below app settings lookup local app settings linux app settings null appservices tf resource azurerm app service APPSVC name var appsvc name location azurerm

managed identity credentials true ftps state FtpsOnly linux fx version var asp kind linux local linux fx version null app settings lookup local app settings linux app settings null Since our app insights instrumentation key output is already marked as a sensitive output it is all good and well for that value to be hidden from the output But what about if we want the entire app settings config block to be hidden This is where the sensitive function comes in as you can see by just wrapping the relevant locals variables in the sensitive function will instruct terraform to hide the entire block from output local tf locals Appsvc Settings app settings default settings sensitive APPINSIGHTS INSTRUMENTATIONKEY azurerm application insights INSIGHTS instrumentation key DOKCER REGISTRY

海外TECH	DEV Community	Open Source Security: A Critical Aspect of Software Implementation	https://dev.to/chidiesobe/open-source-security-a-critical-aspect-of-softwareimplementation-2g8j	Open Source Security A Critical Aspect of SoftwareImplementationIt is easy to regard open source as the next best thing since the invention of the internet because it is free to use and modify Regrettably the freedom gained may come at a high cost One major question that every developer or user should ask rhetorically is Who is responsible for the security of the open source script or package you are about to use A question that a lot of people take too lightly Open source security refers to a methodology or procedure structured to give the user the ability tothoroughly understand and interact with the codes being implemented This process might be automated or conducted with direct supervision but users should always be aware of the license restrictions that come with this kind of implementation Encryption security orchestration and secure software update are examples of open source security approaches designed towards creating codes that will make it almost impossible to alter the expected outcome at the point of implementation and usage What is Open Source The term open source refers to projects that allow for the modification and redistribution of their core components or technology though such redistribution or modification may be hampered or restricted by the type of license that serves as the project s foundation What Risk Comes with Open Source There is nothing new about implementing open source scripts or plugins into applications created but the level of risk involved can be mitigated by considering the following statements All codes are written with varying degrees of competence and structure depending on the engineer s skill level Some open source projects rely on other open source projects not directly under their control Vulnerabilities are usually made public before the developers get to know about them A lot of open source projects are self funded and updates are made at the easiest convenience of the developer No properly drawn out development pathway Is Implementing Open Source Tools Worth It Yes it is We won t leave a let a few bad eggs spoil the good jobs a lot of plugins and scripts are doing in the developer s sphere Without the use of open source tools it may be impossible to complete real work in many technological fields The field of data science for example is heavily reliant on open sourcetools While every good has a drawback many security flaws in open source technologies can be addressedif developers maintain regular updates and make time to contribute their fair share to the success of the tools they use While it is difficult to conclude that the benefit of open source technology outweighs the risk no guarantee restricting an application s source code will provide better security than its open source counterpart Here are some of the benefits of open source technology •Reduces the overhead cost that comes with code ownership •Freedom and flexibility to make improvements and changes •Opportunity to interact with the best minds in the field •A large audience of code testers	2022-03-08 19:06:31

海外TECH	DEV Community	SSGs through the ages: The 'Islands' era	https://dev.to/cloudcannon/ssgs-through-the-ages-the-islands-era-27m3	SSGs through the ages The x Islands x eraBy Mike NeumegenIslands architecture or partial hydration is an approach that gives the fast loading nature of a purely static website paired with the dynamic iterations you get from an SPA To understand why islands architecture is such as big deal we need a brief internet history lesson As JavaScript grew more powerful in the early s we could suddenly push browsers to do more Instead of loading an entirely new page for each request we could use JavaScript to rewrite the existing page to make it feel more like a native application This idea is called Single Page Applications or SPAs and expanded the possibilities of what a website could be They created a wave of moving desktop software into the browser including Gmail Google Docs and Netflix SPAs aren t a silver bullet however There are several downsides to consider They require large amounts of JavaScript to download and execute which is particularly an issue for slower devices and limited internet speeds While waiting for the JavaScript to download the user will likely see a loading spinner Search engines can execute JavaScript However it s not as straightforward as a typical HTML web page making it harder to rank well with an SPA To mitigate points amp frameworks like Gatsby Next js Nuxt js and Gridsome prerendered the JavaScript components into HTML and hydrated them on page load They work like this Prerender JavaScript components to HTML On a page request send the prerendered HTML version of the page On page load initiate the JavaScript framework The framework will look over the HTML and attach event handlers so now it acts as a single page application It s a middle ground where you quickly get a static version of the site while your large JavaScript framework downloads and runs It s better but not perfect You re still loading and processing a large JavaScript file albeit at a more convenient time For many websites full hydration is overkill There may only be a handful of components that need interaction This is the fundamental idea behind partial hydration and it works something like this Prerender JavaScript components to HTML On a page request send the prerendered HTML version of the page On page load only hydrate the components that the developer has specifically marked as needing hydration The islands era sees a number of SSGs bringing the advantages of partial hydration to reality Elder js​​by Nick ReeseNick Reese is the co founder of Elder Guide ーa website to find and compare senior living options Over the past years Nick has managed five major SEO properties so the benefits of Jamstack are highly tangible to him When he started Elder Guide he evaluated six SSGs Gatsby Next js Nuxt js ty Sapper and Hydrogen js Unfortunately none of these ticked all of his requirements Nick had three realizations Most SSGs cater to either simple sites blogs or full scale web applications There s no in between Fetching data from multiple sources is difficult Fully hydrating a web page is overkill for most websites But what if we could only hydrate the components that need to be hydrated He whipped up a rudimentary prototype based on Svelte named it Elder js and started using it to power Elder Guide Elder js was one of the first SSGs to pioneer partial hydration or islands architecture and is currently “stable and production ready Nick has executed his vision of what he wanted in an SSG and has rolled it out over a couple of the websites he manages Now his roadmap is about working on bug fixes and incremental changes that are primarily under the hood Sveltekitby Rich HarrisAfter years of working on Sapper Rich Harris and the Svelte team reflected on the state of the project and had a few realizations The distinction between Svelte templates and Sapper templates is confusing The codebase had become unkempt over the years and was due for some heavy refactoring Sapper has assumed a module bundler like Webpack was necessary to create code that can run anywhere Build tools like Snowpack and Vite bridge the pros and cons of an unbundled bundled workflow and bring a better developer experience Sapper requires running a Node js server The Svelte team identified a trend towards serverless platforms and wanted a framework that fully embraced the paradigm These ideas led Rich and the Svelte team to build a new Svelte based application framework from scratch SvelteKit The framework addresses the shortcomings of Sapper including The introduction of adapters allowing tight integration with serverless platforms such as Netlify  Vercel and Cloudflare A Vite powered build to provide a better faster developer experience The ability to prerender a subset of pages and dynamically render the rest Standardized workflows for working with SvelteSvelteKit is actively working towards its where it will have stable APIs ready for production use It s a framework that addresses the tradeoffs between having a simple document web page versus a single page application The icing on the cake will be if Svelte can add an elegant solution for partial hydration Get started with SvelteKit on CloudCannon Astroby Fred K Schott“There s a simple secret to building a faster website ー just ship less Frameworks like React have normalized shipping hundreds of kb of JavaScript The choice to use a JavaScript framework involves considering some tradeoffs How much interactivity do I need Is it worth the overhead of downloading an entire web framework Would I be better off using simple HTML CSS and vanilla JavaScript The team of open source developers behind Snowpack had been pondering these questions and saw an opportunity to create a new SSG Astro Astro “borrowed the best parts of our favorite tools and then added a few innovations of our own With Astro you can bring your own JavaScript framework including React Svelte Vue Preact web components or vanilla HTML amp JavaScript On build Astro renders the entire website to completely static HTML Static HTML means the pages load extremely quickly with no JavaScript overhead When you do need interactive JavaScript on a component Astro loads just that one component It s partial hydration or islands architecture like Elder js On top of that Astro has SEO features such as automatic site maps RSS feeds pagination and collections to help ensure your site ranks well The combination of bringing your own JavaScript framework with partial hydration created tremendous hype in the community Astro is still in beta and has already amassed a large following of k stars on GitHub as well as taking out the Jammies Ecosystem Innovation Award It s certainly one to watch in the future Slinkityby Ben HolmesIf there were an award for best SSG launch video Ben s Slinkity announcement would get my vote Slinkity isn t an SSG in its own right It s a plugin that extends ty to bring React Vue or Svelte magic to your static website At a high level there are two types of static site generators The traditional “simple SSGs ーThese frameworks focus on outputting simple HTML and CSS based websites The application SSGs ーThese are based on JavaScript application frameworks like React Vue and Svelte They output HTML and CSS then hydrate the page with JavaScript to enable client side interactions Slinkity is part of the new wave Along with Astro and Elder js these SSGs are trying to find a middle ground between the above two extremes Where Slinkity separates itself is instead of being a standalone framework it s bolted onto ty This integration is a major bonus as it means you can start building your website using ty which has a low learning curve then when you need more dynamic interactions you re free to layer on React Vue or Svelte where you need it You have complete control over how components partially hydrate in Slinkity By default they render eager which means they re hydrated as soon as the page loads You can also render them lazy which is the same except the component only loads when it s scrolled into view Finally you can render them static which means no JavaScript and no interactivity ty Slinkity is an exciting duo I m looking forward to see where Ben takes it Slinkity is currently in early alpha so probably isn t much just in production yet but hopefully soon Where to from here This brings us to the end of this series for now The history of SSGs has been a constant journey of adding new ideas then reinventing it in simpler or more powerful ways The future of SSGs isn t heading in single direction instead we have a four headed hydra The pure Jekyll Hugo ty ーA focus on simplicity and pure HTML generation The partial hydration Elder js Astro Slinkity ーStriking a balance between page speed and dynamic interactions The SPA Next js Nuxt Gatsby Sveltekit ーBridging the gap between static and dynamic The full stack Redwood js Blitz js ーEverything you need to build modern web applications Which direction will win Well all of them Each direction has its own benefits and tradeoffs that make sense for particular use cases The SSG hydra now has full coverage of the web development gamut from a simple company website to a full blown application As for what comes next I think we re already starting to see it ーiterations and new SSGs that address downsides of current SSGs Namely Faster build speeds ーThe days of SSGs used or created specifically for a page personal developer blog are long gone Commercial use cases can have thousands of pages and waiting minutes for a build to complete is a deal breaker Smarter JS Hydration ーPushing huge JavaScript files to the client goes against one of the original reasons for using a SSG which was shipping smaller and faster handcrafted websites Partial hydration has the potential to strike a perfect balance between fast loading websites and dynamic interactive components Static Dynamic smoothie ーWe re seeing the line between static and dynamic blur further with every year that passes We re seeing smart ways of making dynamic content static and mitigating some of the downsides of dynamic by moving everything to the edge Momentum and innovation is accelerating in the world of static site generators

this tutorial here Download the Source CodeIn the previous article we mainly focused on the backend and admin section of our Django application Now it is time for us to focus on the frontend the part that the users can see For the templates instead of writing our own HTML and CSS code we are going to use a Bootstrap template instead since HTML and CSS are not really our focus here You can download the source code directly Download Views and URLsLet s start with the views and URLs For our blog application since we are not building the full CRUD operations on our own we only need to worry about how to retrieve information from the database We are designing four pages home category tag and post and we ll need one view function for each of them Homefrom models import Site Category Tag Postdef home request site Site objects first posts Post objects all filter is published True categories Category objects all tags Tag objects all return render request home html site site posts posts categories categories tags tags Line here we import the models we created in the previous article Line site contains the basic information of our website and we are always retrieving the first record in the database Line filter is published True makes sure that only published articles will be displayed Next don t forget the corresponding URL dispatcher path views home name home Categorydef category request slug site Site objects first posts Post objects filter category slug slug filter is published True requested category Category objects get slug slug categories Category objects all tags Tag objects all return render request category html site site posts posts category requested category categories categories tags tags path category lt slug slug gt views category name category

TemplatesAs for the template system this is the structure I m going with The layout contains the header and the footer and it is where we import the CSS and JavaScript files The home  category

to this is how we can import static files CSS and JavaScript files in Django Of course we are not using CSS in this tutorial but I d like to talk about how it can be done if you do need to import extra CSS files By default Django will search for static files in individual app folders In our example Django will go to blog and search for a folder called static and then inside that static folder Django will look for css style css as defined in our template Home extends layout html block meta lt meta charset utf gt lt meta name viewport content width device width initial scale shrink to fit no
