Teleport is a new feature introduced in Vue 3. Teleport provides better control to developers on where exactly an element is rendered. Get Teleporting Let us create a new Vue 3 app to start playing around with teleport. We will use Vite, because it is 2021. 1 npm init @vitejs/app Provide a project name (teleport) and select vue as the template.

In this post let us see how we can easily build a task management app (which is totally & completely different from a todo app) using ReactJS. We will be using React Hooks, Chota CSS for styling and a lot of ES6+. We will not look at any centralised state management, or deal with a backend to store the tasks in this post.

Welcome to 2021. For me this will be an exciting year when I embrace ReactJS and Svelte as friends. And, what better way to start with React than NextJS..? In this post, we will see why and how we can get started on NextJS, and a few good learning resources.

Svelte makes working with apps really simple. It brings the clarity of Vue but adds even more simplicity in the way components are created and used. For one of the demos I just wanted to showcase what the simplicity translates into for a simple website that shows “quote of the day” but also needs to provide a “SPA experience” - completely off the script.

In this post we will see how to create a simple timesheet app using Vue and Vuetify. This is not quite a comprehensive tutorial on Vue or Vuetify, rather a demo of front-end features, see how easy it is to build an usable app, and in general, how modern app development makes the whole process enjoyable.

Tooltips are omnipresent, or rather have to be. While there have been excellent standardisation of user experience since we saw what Bootstrap was capable of, there are days and applications that can throw off users with strange icons, buttons and navigation. Ergo, tooltips. The humble tooltip can provide helpful hints, short messages and guide user on what a particular button, text box or any other element will do before clicking the thingy and causing destruction of a planet.

I have this nagging problem of determining an end user’s country/region in my web apps. The reasons for doing that are many - Automatic conversion of an event date/time Display regional news Show prices in user’s currency .. and so on We could do two things to determine a user’s region -

We have looked at functions quite a bit on this blog over the last two years. We have seen many avatars of a function including a function object, a function’s method, function of functions, and so on. But, what we have not done is to document all the ways in which we can define functions.

ES2020 introduced nullish coalescing operator. We will see just how and where can you find use for it? What it is? Nullish coalescing operator (??) is introduced in the newest Javascript specification. It’s primary design goal is quite simple - provide a way to check for nulls to return true or false values from an expression.

Here’s a good guide to get you started on Javascript in a practical way. Why another guide? Practical - don’t learn for the sake of learning, learn for the sake of doing! Tactical - learn what matters, fast (yes, that’s what everyone says) Strategic - see the big picture This guide will get you started from the beginning, graduate you to using industry standard tools, and point you towards the right direction for learning even more than what can be offered in one guide or course.

Here’s a quick introduction to Razor pages in ASP.NET core, and an opinionated way to quickly start building applications using Razor pages. And yes, there is a case for using Razor pages even in 2020. So.. ASP.net? Yes, indeed. I have had a love-hate relationship with ASP.NET through years. I am way less productive using ASP.

Debounce operations in Vue using this 10 line script. Avoid loadash and friends. What is debounce? Delay and throttle operations to wait and collect user input before doing something with the input. The “something” can be updating another field, doing an API call, or starting a timer to self-destruct. Did you not debounce earlier?

Centralize all error, warning and info alerts in one place. I like v-alert and tend to over-use it. It enables us to show detailed notifications (error or otherwise) - without significantly causing user inconvenience. I find v-alert more suitable in my apps than using, say, popup alerts that interrupt users, or “toast” notifications which I find unsuitable for detailed messages.
