Feb. 21, 2020: What did you learn this week?

It's that time of the week again. So wonderful devs, what did you learn this week? It could be programming tips, career advice etc.

Feel free to comment with what you learnt and/or reference your TIL post to give it some more exposure.

#todayilearned Follow

Summarize a concept that is new to you.

And remember, if something you learnt was a big win for you, then you know where to drop it as well.👇👇🏻👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿

What was your win this week?

I learnt how to make a script to kill a port (to stop a localhost server) by calling an npm command that runs a js file that runs a PowerShell script. Works like magic.

It was my first time touching a PowerShell script so this gave me extra points :D

This week I learned more about the Net Core Request Pipeline.
Especially, that when using a controller with non default ActionResult return type, like for example BadRequest(), that these ActionResults will get wrapped in another ActionResult, which makes unit testing kind of tedious. E.g.:

        // controller method
        [Route("{id:int}")]
        [HttpGet]
        [ProducesResponseType(StatusCodes.Status200OK)]
        [ProducesResponseType(StatusCodes.Status404NotFound)]
        public async Task<ActionResult<Author>> GetOneById(int id)
        {
            Author result = await _authorService.GetById(id);

            if (result != null)
            {
                return result;
            }
            else
            {
                return NotFound();
            }
        }

        // tests
        [Fact(DisplayName = "Should return correct author by id")]
        public async Task Should_Return_Author_By_Id()
        {
            // arrange
            var expected = fixture.authorList.Where(author => author.Id == 1).FirstOrDefault();

            // act
            var result = await controller.GetOneById(1);

            // assert
            Assert.IsType<ActionResult<Author>>(result);
            Assert.Equal(expected, result.Value); // Using Value since ReturnType is ActionResult<Author>, so we need to access the value
        }

        [Fact(DisplayName = "Should return NotFound()")]
        public async Task Should_Return_Author_NotFound()
        {
            // act
            var result = await controller.GetOneById(999);

            // assert
            Assert.Null(result.Value);
            Assert.IsType<ActionResult<Author>>(result); // check method return type matches
            Assert.IsType<NotFoundResult>(result.Result); // check actual return is as expected
        }

Mario approves. He's just not sure which pipeline to jump into 😉

[Maureen T'O]

I've learned about the Nuxt.js framework, how to integrate Bulma with Nuxt, how to route static pages, and using HTML/CSS for fluidly!

[Dany the spacecowboy]

did you use Buefy? it's really good!

[Maureen T'O]

I use just regular Bulma! I love Bulma so much 😍

[Yosbel Marín]

I've learned about Chakra UI. Also learned this week that UI Fabric decreases my productivity, so I will be better away from it. Last but not least, learned how to integrate Remote Func with Next.js

[Nick Taylor]

I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve heard great things about Chakra UI.

Got some time to clean up my bash prompt by adding a random emoji to it. This was way more fun that I thought it would be.. (also there’s a bug here that’s fixed in a follow up commit 😅)

[Eyituoyo Donald Okegbe]

Finally understood a lot on react and got my hands dirty with it. Hoping to learn more and go down further

[Nick Taylor]

Noice!

[Adam Crockett 🌀]

That I am more versatile than I think I am.

[Irem Kaya]

I learnt to incorporate different React Native libs with each other + with React Hooks!
Also learnt a bit of GraphQL for making a schema for a custom api :)

[Aman]

Developed an application on Springboot. Exposed rest end points. Created automated tests using Postman. It was a fun excercise.

[Odilon Jonathan Kröger]

I've learned about writing example tests on Golang, to show the code on godoc.
I also learned how to deploy an application on GCP App Engine. :D
