Introduction Gitlab is a comprehensive platform designed for software development and version control using git. It provides a user-friendly web interface that enhances the speed of working with git, making it easier to manage Git repositories. Gitlab  offers a range of features including: Free public and private repositories: You can host your code securely and privately or share it with the world. Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) : Automate the testing and deployment of your code. Free private docker image storage on Container Registry In this article, I'll guide you on how to push a Docker image to the Gitlab Container Registry and set up CI to automatically build and push Docker images when you push code to a Gitlab repository. Pushing a Docker Image to the Gitlab Container Registry First, you'll need a Gitlab account and a repository (either public or private will work). Use the NodeJS Typescript Server project I introduced earlier , or any proj...

Introduction PureComponent in React is built on the concept of Pure Function. In this article, let's dive into PureComponent and the memo hook in React, as well as how to apply these tools to improve performance in React applications. What is a Pure Function? First off, it's important to understand the concept of a Pure Function, which will always return the same result with the same input parameters. To put it simply, the same input will always yield the same output. For example: // this is pure function function sum ( a : number , b : number ): number { return a + b ; } sum ( 1 , 2 ); // always return 3 const offset = 3 ; // this is not pure function function sumWithOffset ( a : number , b : number ): number { return a + b + offset ; } sum ( 1 , 2 ); // result depend on offset value What is a Pure Component? In React, a PureComponent is considered a component that only renders when there's a change in props or state, where the change in props or state is det...

Introduction In this article, we're diving into Immutable and Mutable in JavaScript, while also exploring how functions like Object.freeze() and Object.seal() relate to Immutable . This is a pretty important topic that can be super helpful in projects with complex codebase. So, what's Immutable? Immutable is like a property of data in JavaScript. It means once the data is created, it can't be changed. This allows for better memory management and catching changes promptly. This is a big deal and totally contrasts with Mutable, which is the default nature when you initialize data in JavaScript. Implementing Immutable in a project makes development much smoother, reduces issues that crop up, and saves a ton of effort and time for maintenance down the road. But what happens if you don't use Immutable? Let me give you an example of how changing data during development can lead to some serious issues. let info = { name: "name" , address: "addres...

Introduction For a long time, we've relied on callbacks to deal with asynchronous code in JavaScript. As a result, many of us have faced dreadful experiences dealing with deeply nested functions ( callback hell ). Callback hell Callbacks come with a lot of drawbacks. When we have multiple asynchronous operations, callbacks have to wait for each other to execute, prolonging the completion time. Additionally, writing nested callbacks makes our code messy and hard to maintain. In the ES6 (ECMAScript 2015) version, JavaScript introduced Promises. This was a fantastic replacement for callbacks and was quickly embraced by the community. Our new code looks similar to the old one, making it easier to follow and maintain. However, the issues with callbacks weren't completely resolved. Since the ES7 (ECMAScript 2016) version, Async/Await has been added to make asynchronous code in JavaScript look and feel easier to use. What is Async/Await? Async/Await is a feature of JavaScript that ...

Introduction As most of us already know, React enables us to break down interfaces into independent parts called Components, facilitating reuse and customization. Currently, React Components are divided into two main types: Client Components : widely used in Client Side Rendering (CSR) applications. Server Components : a new type of component that renders on the server side before being sent to the client (browser). At first glance, it may seem similar to Server Side Rendering (SSR) which has been used for a while, but in reality, these two concepts have certain differences. The Difference of RSC (React Server Component) Ease of development: React Server Component allows easy direct connection to server-side resources such as databases or internal services, streamlining development processes. Improved performance: By reducing latency in communication between client and server, React Server Component enhances overall application performance. Reduced source code size: Libraries utili...

Introduction When it comes to styling your React application with a css-in-js approach, styled-components stands out as a top choice. In this post, I'll walk you through how to utilize styled-components in a Next application. By default, Next provides a way to use  css-in-js  through styled-jsx. However, if you find styled-jsx cumbersome because it requires writing CSS within JSX , which can make your components lengthier, then styled-components might be the right fit for you. Installation of styled-components npm install styled-components // or yarn add styled-components Example usage: import styled from 'styled-components' const Wrapper = styled . div ` color: red; text-align: center; ` // Component with input param const Wrapper2 = styled . div <{ $color ?: string }> ` color: ${ props => props . $color } ; text-align: center; ` export default function Index () { return ( <> < Wrapper > Demo 1 </ Wrapper > ...
