海外TECH	DEV Community	Using Amplify UI Builder with your existing data	https://dev.to/codebeast/using-amplify-studio-with-your-existing-data-5a1n	Using Amplify UI Builder with your existing dataAWS Amplify offers various features that include binding existing data to Figma design components with the Amplify studio In this post we ll discuss how to add AWS Figma design components to a MongoDB data collection by building a mini ecommerce application with Next js Next js is a React based frontend development framework that supports server side rendering and static site generation This post assumes that we are familiar with MongoDB and have at least a data collection in our account PrerequisitesThe following are required in this post Basic knowledge of JavaScript and React js Node js and AWS CLI are installed on our computers AWS Amplify account create one here Figma account create a free account here MongoDB account and a data collection Getting StartedTo create Amplify project we ve to log in to the AWS console search for AWS Amplify and select it from the list of services Next click on the New app button and give a name to the application We ll name our application random store demo Click on Confirm deployment button to proceed Next after the deployment process click on the Launch Studio button With that we have completed setting up our project Connect Amplify Figma Design ComponentsAfter launching the Studio follow the below steps to connect Amplify Figma designs to our project Click on UI Library and click on the Get Started buttonClick on the Use our Figma template link and this will open the Amplify s UI Kit in our Figma account Duplicate the UI Kit and make desired modifications in the component folder This project will be using the CardC components let s modify it a bit We removed the star rating and aligned the price to the right Copy the duplicated Figma file URL and paste it in the Studio like below Click on Continue to pull the components into Studio then click on Accept all button to accept the elements Binding Data to the UI ComponentAfter successfully importing Amplify Figma components we ll proceed to bind the data to the CardC component In AWS studio we can create a model and bind data to it then bind these data to a component of our choice but that s not our case in this project In a nutshell we ll be using Amplify s Figma design components to display the dataset we created somewhere else in MongoDB From the UI Library let s choose the CardC component and then click Configure From a react js background we re adding prop names and the type of value we re expecting to the CardC elements Let s follow the below step to bind the data Let s create productName productImage productPrice and productInfo and set their values to string in the component properties In the Elements tree select the image and in the component properties set the image source to productImage In the Elements tree let s select the first text from the Main Text group and set its label prop to productName select the second and set it to productInfo select the third text and set it to productPrice Select the button element and set its label prop to Add to cart the button won t do anything in this project Right at this moment AWS Amplify uses auto generated properties to preview our component Setting up and installations To create a new Next js application we ll run the following command in our terminal npx create next app example with mongodb randomstoreThe command above creates a Next js application with MongoDB setup example in a folder called randomstore Next we ll navigate into the project directory and start the application with the following commands cd randomstore to navigate into the project directorynpm run dev to run the dev serverNext js will start a development server at http localhost In the browser we have an error this is because we need to provide our MONGODB URI in the env local file We ll change the env local example to env local and get the URI by clicking on the connect button in the MongoDB dashboard and following the prompts After setting up the env local with our data collection user detail we ll rerun the application with the below command npm run devIn the browser we should have the application up and running like below We can learn how to connect the Next js application with MongoDB here Pulling the Amplify app into our Next js appFirst we ll install the AWS CLI if we don t have it already installed on our computer with the below command npm install g aws amplify cliNow let s install the AWS javascript library that our components depend on npm install aws amplify ui reactNow it s time to pull the AWS Amplify components and backend environment into our Next js application We ll head back to the Studio and copy the pull command Next in our terminal let s us run the Amplify pull command and follow the prompts The steps above create a few folders inside the Next js application including the ui components where all our components are Binding MongoDB data to AWS Figma UI componentsAfter pulling our application from Amplify studio we ll use the UI components to display our MongoDB data Now in the index js file let s import CardC from the ui components folder and render it pages index jsimport Head from next head import clientPromise from lib mongodb import connectToDatabase from utils mogodb import CardC from ui components export async function getServerSideProps context try await clientPromise const db await connectToDatabase const productCollection

getServerSideProps function The function fetches our products from MongoDB once the pages loads and send them to the Next js component The Home function receives the product as props loops through it and uses the CardC component to display it in the front end In the CardC component we assigned product properties to corresponding CardC prop names we configured them in the studio Next we ll create app js inside the pages folder with the following snippets pages app jsimport styles globals css import AmplifyProvider from aws amplify ui react import aws amplify ui react styles css function MyApp Component pageProps return lt AmplifyProvider gt lt Component pageProps gt lt AmplifyProvider gt export default MyApp We imported aws amplify ui react styles css and AmplifyProvider in the above snippets We used AmplifyProvider at the top of our return so that child components will inherit AWS Amplify styles In the browser we should have our Next js application looking like we expected

海外TECH	DEV Community	Implementing Feature Flags in a Next.js Application	https://dev.to/daveyhert/implementing-feature-flags-in-a-nextjs-application-191h	Implementing Feature Flags in a Next js ApplicationOur job as developers often involves releasing new features regularly However how can we ensure that these features work properly in production before safely releasing them to all users It s easy by feature flagging What is Feature Flagging Many companies struggle to roll out new features and functionalities in an incremental way Feature flagging is a mechanism used to control access to certain features with simple switches called feature flags feature toggles or feature switches Through feature flagging anyone can safely test code in production perform canary releases conduct A B testing and many other unique uses You can deliver different content and functionalities to targeted users through user segmentation based on a feature flag s value and its associated config rules What Exactly are Feature Flags Feature flags are conceptually based on being able to encapsulate sections of your code into conditional statements that can be switched on and off depending on your needs Similarly to an if else statement these flags return true false boolean values based on the state of the feature flags whether they are toggled on or off and are implemented directly inside your source code to check these external conditions before executing the code Feature Flag Use Case in a Next js ApplicationConsider this scenario Suppose we implemented a new feature in a Next js application that allowed us to generate random user profiles with every page load or reload and we wanted to roll this out to our user base As you may have guessed already wrapping this feature in a feature flag would give us the perfect control needed to plan a feature release to our users either through incremental roll out via user segmentation or performing an all out release We will examine how we can accomplish this by creating a Next js application that incorporates the aforementioned feature with a feature flag in a step by step process Requirements Basic knowledge of Next js You ve local installation of Node and NPM Step Create a New Feature Flag Using a Feature Flagging ServiceRather than going through the hassle of building and managing an actual feature flag from scratch I ll be using ConfigCat a company that offers feature flags as a service to create and remotely manage our feature flag from its dashboard So quickly jump to ConfigCat and create a free account then Navigate to your dashboard Click the Add feature flag option and provide the required details about the flag Copy the ConfigCat SDK Key this will be needed to enable us to connect our Next js app to our feature flag Step Configure and Set Targeting Rules for the Feature FlagAs a feature flag management service ConfigCat provides multiple ways to target your users with feature flags to achieve a controlled feature release This can be done by targeting a certain percentage of your traffic allocation or through user segmentation where you can specify the target audience for your feature release based on a list of predefined or custom shared attributes such as location gender age etc To keep things simple I ll be using the default settings which is to target all users Step Creating the Base Version of the Next js AppNow that we have our feature flag ready It s time for us to create our Next js application We ll start by running create next app in the command line to quickly bootstrap a Next js application for us npx create next appAfterwards we run the following command to launch our dev environment and have our starter template demo page ready npm run dev Step Create Random User Generator Feature in Next js ApplicationThere are two ways that Next js pre renders web pages Static Generation and Server side Rendering In Static Generation the pages are generated at build time while in Server side rendering the page is generated on the server on each request before being sent to the client We will be taking the Server side rendering route because we will be using a third party Random User API to get new random user data on each user request whenever the page is loaded reloaded Let s get to it I ll start by emptying the root index js file responsible for the home page of our demo application and then creating an export getServerSideProps function that would be responsible for making requests on the server before the page is generated This runs on the server on each request export async function getServerSideProps Fetch random user data from external API const res await fetch const data await res json Return data to page via props return props data data results This random user API returns an array containing an object of randomly generated user details After making the request on the server the next step is to make use of the data in our component s template and render the required user details Page Component export default function Home data Extract the required user details const firstName data name first const lastName data name last const image data picture large const gender data gender const location data location country Generated page Template return lt div className card gt lt img src image class gender gt lt h gt firstName lastName lt h gt lt p gt lt span gt Gender lt span gt gender lt p gt lt p gt lt span gt Location lt span gt location lt p gt lt div gt With that we have a Next js app that generates random user details on each page load reload That s pretty much it we now have a fully working random user generator feature in our Next js application Step Connecting the Next js Application to ConfigCat and Integrating the Feature FlagNow that we have our feature ready it s time to connect our Next js application to our feature flagging service provider before proceeding to integrate the random user generator feature with our feature flag Since we intend to use ConfigCat I will start by installing their JavaScript SSR SDK via NPM this is required to connect our application to ConfigCat npm i configcat js ssrAfterwards I ll import the installed package into our root index js component and refactor our getServerSideProps function by initializing the package using the SDK key copied from the dashboard i e connect our application to ConfigCat using the SDK key import as configcat from configcat js ssr This runs on the server on each request export async function getServerSideProps Initialize ConfigCatClient with your SDK Key const configCatClient configcat createClient fKZCApWbkaDunjPKZQw vBw jxALNeiWNilfwboGA Check the state of the feature flag const randomUserFlag await configCatClient getValueAsync randomuserflag false Fetch random user data from external API const res await fetch const data await res json Return flag s state and dat to page via props return props randomUserFlag data data results The next step is to refactor the template to only render the random profile card if the feature flag is toggled on and to otherwise render a different message Page Component export default function Home data randomUserFlag Extract the required user details const firstName data name first const lastName data name last const image data picture large const gender data gender const location data location country Page Template return lt gt randomUserFlag amp amp lt div className card gt lt img src image class gender gt lt h gt firstName lastName lt h gt lt p gt lt span gt Gender lt span gt gender lt p gt lt p gt lt span gt Location lt span gt location lt p gt lt div gt randomUserFlag amp amp lt p gt Feature has been toggled off lt p gt lt gt With that final touch our feature flag now has control over our random profile card If we toggle on the feature flag Our users would have access to the random profile card generator But when the feature flag is toggled off Our users have no access to the feature Final thoughtsWe have seen how feature flagging takes a simple concept choosing between different code paths at runtime to help teams introduce features in a controlled manner while in production Through feature flagging you can ship code more frequently test in production perform canary deployment and master feature releases to deliver high quality software while also reducing some of the risks that come with continuous deployment You may find the following links helpful if you d like to explore further Source code for sample

海外TECH	Engadget	The Chase Bliss Habit helped me enjoy making music again	https://www.engadget.com/chase-bliss-habit-review-guitar-effects-pedal-delay-looper-130017678.html?src=rss	The Chase Bliss Habit helped me enjoy making music againI ve been stuck in something of a creative rut for the last year or so I ve been sitting on two or maybe three tracks for an EP since last January unable to push through It s gotten to the point where honestly I haven t even been enjoying making music these last several months I tell you this because in a post detailing the difference between the Blooper Mood and Habit pedals which are all built around a similar core Chase Bliss founder Joel Korte brags that the Habit “could get anyone out of a creative rut And if you only have one takeaway from this review it should be that Joel is probably right Now I m not going to say that the Chase Bliss Habit is for everyone It s pricey it s weird and it can be complicated But it s also wholly unique and surprisingly versatile It is at its core a delay pedal a rather crisp and clean digital delay And you can certainly treat it as such and get great results It has tap tempo MIDI capabilities and can handle everything from short slapback echo to Frippertronics esque slowly degrading loops But if that s all you use it for you won t get your worth Chase Bliss prefers to call Habit a “musical sketchpad and while that s an apt description it might confuse some people This isn t a looper in the traditional sense so don t expect to lay down a four chord backing track and start writing melodies over it Instead this is more of a happy accident machine where you might stumble into an inspiring idea Those are the two extremes however There s a world of sounds in between for you to explore on the Habit from tape like warbles to complex multitap delays and glitchy stutters The trick here is that Habit is always recording incoming audio to a three minute digital “tape loop And then you can add effects harmonize with yourself scan through what you played one minute ago or just emulate a casino full of slot machines HardwareTerrence O Brien EngadgetWhat s impressive is that Chase Bliss manages to cram so much range into a standard size guitar pedal Part of that is down to the company s extensive but standardized control scheme Basically every Chase Bliss pedal save for its Automatone series is built around the same core platform that features six knobs four three way switches a pair of foot switches and dip switches on the back It s a lot of variables crammed into a very small space and it can be quite intimidating But the manual for the Habit is comprehensive easy to understand fun and dare I say beautiful It s filled with illustrations and examples that help make what is a reasonably complicated device seem approachable And it s presented in a Field Notes style booklet with a cardboard cover It s probably a silly thing to highlight but this might be the best product manual ever The hardware itself is likewise a step ahead of the competition Now there s not a ton of ways to stand out in the pedal game if you re sticking to standard sized metal enclosures but Chase Bliss opts for knurled metal knobs and the LEDs are nestled inside tiny metal calderas They re small touches that elevate a Chase Bliss pedal above other players in the market which is important when you re charging this much The two primary knocks against it on the hardware front are a lack of stereo outs and a nonstandard ¼ inch MIDI connection Frankly I don t think the former is a major issue I have a small handful of stereo pedals in my collection and I almost never actually use them in stereo The MIDI port on the other hand is a bit of a downer especially now that ⅛ inch TRS MIDI is a widely adopted standard Instead you need a special adapter box or a custom wired cable to connect other MIDI gear to Habit Also because Chase Bliss has to make room for the dip switches all the jacks are on the sides of the pedal This is hardly dealbreaker but connecting audio power and expression does eat up a little more real estate on your pedalboard than if the jacks were on the top ModifiersEngadget ·Chase Bliss Habit sound samplesThose complaints are minor nitpicks though and they almost don t matter once you start playing Even when using it as a relatively straightforward delay pedal the Habit shines especially once you start exploring the modifiers you select using the three way switches across the middle The fourth switch just above the foot switches is used for selecting and saving a pair of presets and we re just going to ignore that The middle switch changes between the two banks or turns the modifiers off while the left switch selects which specific modifier you re using and the knob above it dials in the amount and style of said modifier Terrence O Brien EngadgetEach modifier has two different variations depending on which way you turn the knob For example modifier A is a stepped speed change quantized to fifths and octaves To the right of o clock plays the repeats forward while to the left plays them in reverse This means that even if you don t touch any of the other controls you have seven distinct delays at your fingertips The other modifiers include tape like lo fi effects smooth pitch changes and a multimode filter But the two most interesting are probably the trimmer and the dropper Trimmer slices bits of audio off the start or end of a note and can be used to create complex stuttering rhythms Meanwhile Dropper causes your signal to drop out appropriately enough Turn the Modify knob to the right and you ll find rhythmic patterns to the left and the echoes will randomly disappear Crank that and you get heavily degraded almost granular effects which you can really lean into with the Spread and Scan knobs but more on that later ControlsTerrence O Brien EngadgetThe controls across the top are more or less what you d expect on a standard delay pedal There s level repeats feedback and size time One important thing to note is that as you increase or decrease the size there is no change in pitch The ones below it though are where the interesting things happen We ve already mentioned the modifier knob but next to that are the Spread and Scan controls Spread controls a second playback head which allows you to get standard multitap echoes at lower settings but as you start to increase it it reaches further and further back into the past It s less of a delay and more of a sonic time machine If used smartly you can create cascading counter melodies as you play along with yourself from seconds ago Scan has two modes auto default and manual controlled by one of those dip switches on the back In auto mode it introduces random snippets of old audio The Scan and Spread knobs interact so as Scan starts rummaging through the past it drags that secondary Spread playhead with it This is important because as you crank up the Scan you re making Spread all the more unpredictable This can be fun if you re looking for glitchy chaos or frustrating if you re trying to lock into a groove with yourself If you set Scan to manual you re picking out the moment of your choice from the last three minutes This is particularly handy if you re using the Habit as a musical sketchpad since you can record three minutes of noodling and then go back and find the bits you really want to savor Terrence O Brien Engadget There is a middle ground which is my preferred method of using Scan If you press and hold the left foot switch it momentarily sets Scan to maximum and then snaps back to where you have it when you let go If you use this with Scan set to zero you re able to insert controlled bits of chaos exactly when you want to And since both Spread and Scan are linked to Size everything stays in sync pretty nicely Then there s the three way switch on the far right labeled In Out Feed This is probably the most powerful control on the entire pedal In the middle or out position you get a predictable sound where every echo sounds exactly the same When switched to in each echo is fed through the modifier circuit again This can give you sparkling chimes that climb in pitch until they send your dog running for cover Or echoes that crumble more with each repeat Or notes that get shorter and shorter as the Trimmer modifier shaves more and more off To the right is Feed mode which sends the output of the Habit right back through the input creating echoes of echoes and accumulating modifier effects off into infinity This is where things can get really wild This can get you metallic almost reverb like drones But it also means that if you start turning knobs those changes are printed to the internal “tape loop because what s coming out is coming right back in again and getting recorded This becomes even more powerful when combined with the Collect dip switch on the top CollectBy default Habit is always recording to a three minute loop but it overwrites what happened three minutes ago If you turn on Collect then the loop is never erased and you re able to overdub This is where you can start building sketches of songs and then by turning on Feed record what happens as you tweak knobs and dramatically transform what you played Now I ll be honest I haven t had a lot of success using this to make an actual song The quirks of Habit also mean that this mode is best suited for particular styles of music You can create odd stuttering and loping guitar pieces or ambient washes but probably nothing with a traditional song structure But it s still quite enjoyable and meditative to sit and slowly build up a composition by recording three minute passes of music And that is one other thing to keep in mind The internal loop is three minutes and there is no way to shorten it if you only want to record seconds so using Collect requires patience This is a great way to find interesting sounds for sampling though Running an instrument into the Habit and then running the results into the SP has been incredibly fun That s the other big takeaway you should have by the way The Habit is fun Despite its complexity and occasional unpredictability it s easy to get lost in the joy of creating new and bizarre sounds Dip switchesThe thing that lends Habit its greatest sense of complexity is definitely dip switches on the top They re one of the defining features of a Chase Bliss pedal They basically come in two flavors expression and customization You can for instance flip the Dry Kill switch to get rid of your unaffected tone While there is some lag introduced by the pedal it s still useful for getting synth like arpeggios or processing audio that you re not playing live This is also how you enable things like Collect Manual Scan and latch Normally if you hold the left footswitch momentarily it automatically maxes out the Scan parameter while holding the right loops the last echo With latching on those will continue until you hold down the footswitch again The Expression and Ramping switches add movement or allow you to control specific parameters For example if you connect an expression pedal and then flip the Size switch you can quickly increase or decrease the echo time with your foot while playing But all Chase Bliss pedals also have an LFO which the company calls Ramp or Bounce Ramp can be one shot or looping Bounce and can be a triangle wave square or random So you could for instance set the Modify parameter to increase and decrease pitch over time to create arpeggios or randomly change the amount of Spread to sprinkle in bits of the past Terrence O Brien EngadgetRamp and expression can be in either rise or fall mode Meaning that either it sweeps a parameter up from the minimum to where you ve set the knob or down from the maximum to the knob setting One thing to note When you enable Ramp the level knob changes the speed of the Ramp rather than volume of the effect So set your levels first before you start messing with the dip switches Oh and if you connect an expression pedal without flipping any parameter switches on the back it controls the level This is handy if you want to fade in the delay only occasionally while playing The competitionChase BlissObviously if you don t need or want all these crazy features and are just looking for a straightforward delay pedal don t get a Habit It can do typical delay stuff but you don t need to spend on a “typical delay There are delay pedals out there that cover some similar ground For instance the Red Panda Raster It s a digital delay with pitch and frequency shifting plus internal modulation But it doesn t really have equivalents of the Scan Spread and Collect features which are pretty unique to Habit The more likely choice you re trying to make is between three different Chase Bliss pedals the Mood Blooper and Habit All three are related but their strengths lie in specific areas Like Habit Blooper is a collaboration with YouTuber Knobs which has since joined Chase Bliss and its focus is on looping It starts with the same core conceit of any looper record audio and then play it back Its unique features are in how you mangle that loop by overdubbing and applying modifiers It s probably the most complex of the three and even has a browser based interface where you can export loops and swap in different modifiers I d actually say “musical sketchpad is a better fit for Blooper Mood grew out of the development of Blooper It s a more straightforward affair It has an always on recorder similar to Habit but it plays shorter “microloops and includes reverb for added ambience If you want spacey granular effects without having to search too long for sweet spots then Mood is your better bet Wrap upHabit on the other hand is focused on delay and freeform looping Its strengths are in creating complex rhythmic echoes and unpredictable melodic interplay It s just as at home on a pedalboard supported by other effects as it is on a desktop being manipulated like an instrument in its own right It has many of the same strengths as the Blooper and Mood but it s also probably the most experimental of the bunch It s also more difficult to tame Habit is clearly chaotic neutral It doesn t care about rules or tradition it wants only to be free to wreak musical havoc And that makes it an undeniable blast	2022-04-28 13:45:17
