Fastode Server Framework
Fastode is an experimental boilerplate / framework based on Fastify. Why another boilerplate? Well, I just wanted to experiment with a number of MVP products. -
Use Packages Locally Without Publishing Them
How can you use packages being developed locally in other projects - without publishing them to npm repository? NPM Packages Make Life Exciting NPM makes it really easy to create packages and reuse them across projects. -
Refer Project Folder from NPM Package
You can refer to other files/folders using a simple require or using basic node libraries. But, how can you do that with npm packages? -
Fastify and its plugins are great
I had been meaning to use more of Fastify for work, but only made that a reality recently. So far I have had a great experience on the server framework. -
npm run does nothing at Svelte startup
I was getting back to Svelte for a small project and ran into a strange issue. npm run dev did not run the svelte app as expected - no output or errors. -
Asserts are not just for testing
Assert is a general-purpose validator and should not be used in the context of testing alone. An assert in Javascript simply checks for truthy values and produces an error otherwise. -
unknown vs. any in Typescript
Why use unknown when we have any in Typescript? Type inferences are powerful and allows us to do magic when we don’t know types. -
Interfaces as function types in Typescript
Let’s get to know interfaces for functions - yes, that’s a thing. We have seen interfaces used as types and interfaces as array types. -
Modules in Typescript
It’s not the why, but more on what of ‘modules’. No Javascript is an island. It was an island about two decades back but Javascript has done some pretty good land reclaimation to form large continents now. -
Extend interfaces in Typescript
Interface an interface. If that doesn’t excite you, I don’t know what will. We have seen interfaces used as types before. -
Interfaces for Arrays in Typescript
What exactly are interfaces for arrays? Previously we have seen interfaces as types. Interfaces provide useful abstraction on class and can be useful in tricky situations with complex types. -
Anonymous functions in Typescript
Let’s talk anonymous functions and make them, well, “not anonymous”. Anonymous functions are just functions without names. If you have been following this blog, or have written some Javascript - you surely would have come across them. -
Abstract classes in Typescript
Why and how of using abstract classes in Typescript. We have seen a bit of classes and objects in Typescript previously. -
Non-number values for enum in Typescript
Use non-numbers in Typescript enums. enums have the following typical definition and usage - enum Colors { red, blue, green } console. -
