GraphQL 🔥 A query language for your API 💎 GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools. http://graphql.org/ https://scaphold.io/ 〰〰〰〰〰〰 #GraphQL #API @ProgrammingTip

Reference Types in the Real World 🌍 Compare that with the situation where you’re reading a web page. 🌐 This time, all you have to give your friend is the URL of the web page. ↗️ This is reference type behavior, with the URL taking the place of the reference. ↔️ In order to read the document, you have to navigate the reference by putting the URL in your browser and asking it to load the page. ☝🏻 If the web page changes for some reason, both you and your friend will see that change the next time each of you loads the page. 🙇🏻 〰〰〰〰〰〰 #Types #ReferenceTypes @ProgrammingTip

Value Types in the Real World 🌍 Suppose you’re reading something fantastic, and you want a friend to read it too. 📜 What do you need to give your friend so that he can read it too❓ To give your friend a copy, you’d need to photocopy all the pages and then give it to him, At that point, he has his own complete copy of the document. 📃 In this situation, you’re dealing with value type behavior❗️ All the information is directly in your hands, you don’t need to go anywhere else to get it. Your copy of the information is also independent of your friend’s after you’ve made the copy. 👥 You could add some notes to your pages, and his pages wouldn’t be changed at all.🙅🏻‍♂️ 〰〰〰〰〰〰 #Types #ValueTypes @ProgrammingTip

JavaScript Clean Code 🛠 Use getters and setters 💡 Bad :

function makeBankAccount() {

  return {
    balance: 0,
    // ...
  };
}

const account = makeBankAccount();
account.balance = 100;

Good :

function makeBankAccount() {
  let balance = 0;

  function getBalance() {
    return balance;
  }

  function setBalance(amount) {
    balance = amount;
  }

  return {
    getBalance,
    setBalance,
  };
}

const account = makeBankAccount();
account.setBalance(100);

Use String.valueOf() instead of toString() 💎 If obj needs to be converted to string then the result of obj.toString() and String.valueOf(obj) will be same. But String.valueOf() is Null Safe, means it will never throw NullPointerException. 🎯

Test test = null;

// Below statement will not throw NPE
System.out.println(String.valueOf(test));

// Next statement will throw NPE
System.out.println(test.toString())

📦 Grab The Stack Trace Of An Exception 📦 Checking your code for errors is one of the most Painstaking – and frustrating – parts of the development process. 🙆🏻‍♂️ It’s also horrendously Time-Consuming, particularly if you’ve a pesky error whose source isn’t immediately clear. 💡 Using this code, you can more easily track down where an Exception is occurring – and bring yourself that much closer to being rid of it. ✅ Code

Exception e = …;
java.io.StringWriter sw = new java.io.StringWriter();
e.printStackTrace(new java.io.PrintWriter(sw));
String trace = sw.getBuffer().toString();

📦 Macro To Get Array Size Of Any Data Type In C 📦 The following macro will help you in getting the size of an array of any data type. It works by dividing the length of the array to the size of its field. 💡 Code:

#define num(x) (sizeof (x) / sizeof (*x)) 

int  _tmain() {
   int numbers[10] = 
       {1,1,1,1,1,1};

   char *chars[20] =
       {"","","","","","","","",""};

   printf("Size of numbers[10] is %d\n", 
       num(numbers));

   printf("Size of chars[20] is %d\n",
       num(chars));
}

Output:

  Size of numbers[10] is 10 

  Size of chars[20] is 20

JavaScript Clean Code 🛠 Functions should do one thing 💡 Bad :

function emailClients(clients) {
  clients.forEach((client) => {
    const clientRecord = database.lookup(client);
    if (clientRecord.isActive()) {
      email(client);
    }
  });
}

Good :

function emailActiveClients(clients) {
  clients
    .filter(isActiveClient)
    .forEach(email);
}

function isActiveClient(client) {
  const clientRecord = database.lookup(client);
  return clientRecord.isActive();
}
