I made a Random Quote Generator.
Tags: webdev, tutorial, api, beginners
Published: 2024-03-29 07:29:38

I recently made a random quote generator which was pretty good. More importantly it had a lighthouse performance of 99. I am going to teach how you can create a simple quote similar to what I made. Go check out my website [citeal.web.app](https://citeal.web.app/) 

## HOW TO GET RANDOM QUOTES

The most obvious way of getting information is by using a javascript api. 

> "JavaScript APIs: Like a pre-made pizza crust - you gotta dress it up, but at least you're not starting from scratch." 

To be honest this quote was made by gemini ai. Its ok lets look forward on how to find the perfect api. After searching for over 30 minutes, I found quotable in a github repo. I read the documentation and started to work on it. I simply called a function that would replace our html with the quote and author from the api json file. Thats pretty straight forward.

##ERROR !!!!!

An error popped out for this code 

```

const tags = ['inspirational','famous-quotes','technology','love','life','religion','philosophy',''];
const tag = tags[Math.floor(Math.random() * tags.length)];
const url = 'https://api.quotable.io/quotes/random?tags=' + tag;
author = document.getElementById('author');
quote = ocument.getElementById('author');

console.log(tag);

async function getQuote(xurl) {
    const response = await fetch(xurl);
    var data = await response.json();

    quote.innerHTML = data[0].content;
    author.innerHTML = data[0].author;
}

getQuote(url);
```
After searching the code inside stack overflow, I quickly got the solution i removed the variables and simply followed this markup

```
document.getElementById('author').innerHTML = data[0].content;
```

It worked :)

## STYLING

I searched through millions of colour palettes but could not get a better palette than the most used and the most elegant colour palette. The black and white colour palette.

After giving simple and elegant styles, My application took shape

##Deploying

The best free deploying service is firebase, so I used firebase to deploy my pretty simple application. I used `firebase init` command and then `firebase deploy` to deploy my app to citeal.web.app

Navigating Gradle Version Differences for Jacoco and SonarQube Integration
Tags: gradle, sonar, jacoco
Published: 2024-03-29 07:19:00

If you're developing with Gradle and rely on Jacoco for code coverage and SonarQube for code quality analysis, you may encounter some hiccups as you switch between different versions of Gradle. Specifically, the migration from Gradle 7 to Gradle 8 introduces syntax changes that could affect your project setup. This post aims to guide you through these changes and ensure a smooth transition, plus a few additional tips to keep your development process seamless.

# Jacoco Configuration Changes

### Gradle 7

In Gradle 7, the Jacoco configuration for enabling reports looks like this:


```
jacocoTestReport {
    reports {
        xml.enabled true
        csv.enabled false
        html.enabled false
    }
}
```


This setup enables XML reports while disabling CSV and HTML reports. It's a straightforward approach for those focusing on XML outputs for further processing or integration with other tools.

### Gradle 8+
Starting with Gradle 8, the syntax for configuring Jacoco reports has changed. The new method focuses on the required property. Here's how you can adapt your Jacoco report settings for Gradle 8:


```
jacocoTestReport {
    reports {
        xml.required = true
        csv.required = false
        html.required = false
    }
}
```


This change ensures that your configuration remains compatible with Gradle 8, enabling XML reports while keeping CSV and HTML reports disabled.

# SonarQube Integration Changes
### Gradle 7

For Gradle 7, the authentication token for SonarQube is set via a JVM argument in the following manner:

```
-Dsonar.login=
```


And to run the SonarQube task along with your tests, you would use:


```
./gradlew test sonarqube
```


### Gradle 8+

In Gradle 8, there's a slight adjustment to how the authentication token is specified, as well as how the SonarQube task is invoked:

```
-Dsonar.token=
```


To run the SonarQube task in Gradle 8, the command changes to:

```
./gradlew test sonar
```

# Additional Tips
### Version Compatibility: 

Always check the compatibility of your tools and plugins with the version of Gradle you're using. Upgrading Gradle might require updates to other parts of your build script.

### Testing: 

After making changes for version compatibility, run your full build and test cycle to ensure nothing is broken.

### Documentation: 

Keep an eye on the official documentation for Gradle, Jacoco, and SonarQube. They are invaluable resources for understanding new features and changes.
By paying attention to these details and adapting your build configuration as needed, you can navigate the differences between Gradle versions with minimal disruption to your development workflow. Remember, keeping your tooling up to date is key to taking advantage of the latest features and improvements, but it requires a bit of maintenance to ensure everything works together smoothly.
Optimizing Database Queries in Django Applications
Tags: python, django
Published: 2024-03-29 07:08:14

## Introduction:
Efficient database queries are crucial for the performance and scalability of Django applications. In this article, we explore strategies to optimize database queries in Django, enhancing the speed and responsiveness of web applications.

## Understanding Query Optimization in Django:
Django's ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) abstracts database interactions, providing a convenient interface for developers. However, inefficient database queries can impact application performance. We delve into the importance of query optimization and its impact on application performance.

## Identifying Performance Bottlenecks:
We discuss common performance bottlenecks in Django applications, such as N+1 queries, excessive database hits, and inefficient query patterns. Understanding these bottlenecks is essential for devising effective optimization strategies.

## Techniques for Optimizing Database Queries:

**Select Related and Prefetch Related**: We demonstrate how to use select_related and prefetch_related to reduce the number of database hits when fetching related objects, thereby minimizing query overhead.

```
# Example of using select_related
author = Author.objects.select_related('profile').get(pk=1)
```
**Queryset Optimization**: We explore techniques for optimizing queryset operations, including filtering, ordering, and pagination, to minimize database load and improve query performance.

```
# Example of queryset optimization
books = Book.objects.filter(category='fiction').order_by('-publication_date')[:10]
```

**Indexing**: We discuss the importance of database indexing and how properly indexed fields can significantly improve query execution time.

```
# Example of indexing in Django models
class Book(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100, db_index=True)
    author = models.ForeignKey(Author, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
```

## Testing and Profiling:
We emphasize the significance of testing and profiling database queries to identify performance bottlenecks. Techniques such as Django's built-in testing framework and profiling tools aid in optimizing queries effectively.

## Real-World Example:
We provide a real-world example of optimizing database queries in a Django application, showcasing before-and-after scenarios and the resulting performance improvements.

## Conclusion:
Optimizing database queries is paramount for the performance and scalability of Django applications. By employing techniques such as query optimization, indexing, and profiling, developers can enhance the efficiency of database interactions, ensuring optimal performance and responsiveness in production environments. Embracing these best practices empowers developers to build high-performance Django applications capable of meeting the demands of modern web environments.
Solving the mystery of chromosome number in Physcomitrium patens
Tags: biotech
Published: 2024-03-29 07:07:12

Physcomitrium patens has been used as a [model plant](https://modelorg-ab.creative-biolabs.com/category-plant-biology-23.htm) for more than half a century because of its low morphological complexity, high frequency of homologous recombination, and high tolerance to adversity. It also provides sophisticated tools and resources for genetic analysis and manipulation, making it a potential plant chassis for synthetic biology. However, the current version of the V. minor reference genome (V3), which was assembled based on Sanger sequencing and genetic linkage maps, still has many gaps and is no longer able to meet the growing demand for a highly contiguous and complete V. minor genome for plant genomics.

On January 26, 2024, a team from the Institute of Genomics at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) published a paper entitled "Near telomere-to-telomere genome of the model plant Physcomitrium patens" in Nature Plants.

In this study, a telomere-to-telomere reference genome of Physcomitrium patens was constructed for the first time, and it proved that the chromosome number of Physcomitrium patens is 26, which provides a high-quality reference genome for evolutionary biology, genomics, and other basic research based on the model plant Physcomitrium patens.

The team researched with the help of Nanopore single-molecule sequencing data using NextDenovo assembly, assisted by Hi-C libraries, and continuously corrected by the GBGF method (Graph-Based Gap Filling) to fill in all the gaps present on the scaffolds, and finally obtained a genome with (GGG), (GGG), and (GGG). finally obtained 26 chromosomes with (GGGCCA)n or (TTTAGGG)n as telomeric repeat sequences (V6).

The assembly was evaluated to be 99.9989% single base correct. The study also compared the homozygosity and structural variants of the V3 and V6 versions and annotated the new version of the reference genome from scratch. The annotation results show that the V6 version eliminates many of the duplicate annotations present in the transposon (TE) region compared to the V3 version. The research team has integrated the V3 version annotations with the new version annotations so that other plant biology researchers can easily migrate V3-based studies to V6.

This study validates the 26 chromosome conclusion of the V6 version based on computational results and immunostaining and further delves into the dynamics of the three-dimensional structure of the genome during the developmental process and the life cycle, providing a new tool for understanding the molecular mechanisms of important gene regulation. The reference genome provided by this study will greatly benefit evolutionary biology, genomics, and other basic research based on Physcomitrium patens.

Getting Started with Load Testing using Locust
Tags: loadtesting, python, api, qa
Published: 2024-03-29 06:55:06

### What is Locust
Locust is a load testing tool written in Python. The test script is also written in Python. To use this tools, you need at least very basic knowledge of Python.

https://locust.io/

Across many testing framework, Locust is quite simple and having pretty good and simple UI. You only need to install Python in your machine and just install the tools.

### How to install it
Installing Locust is quite simple, just need pip and you can run it.

```
pip install locust
```
I usually using virtual env before installing the tools.

**Create a virtual env**
```
python3 -m venv venv
```
**Activate the venv**
```
source venv/bin/activate
```
Then you can run Locust here

### Create the testing script

This one simple example to load test on login API.
```python
# index.py

from locust import HttpUser, task, between

class LoginUser(HttpUser):
    wait_time = between(2, 5)  # Wait time between simulated users

    @task
    def login(self):
        # Define the payload for the login request
        login_payload = {
            'username': 'your_username',
            'password': 'your_password'
        }

        # Send a POST request to the login endpoint
        response = self.client.post('/login', json=login_payload)

        # Check if the login was successful
        if response.status_code == 200:
            print("Login successful")
        else:
            print("Login failed")

```

Now let say, your API needs a token before you hit it, this how we will do it.
```python
from locust import HttpUser, task, between

class UserApiTest(HttpUser):
    wait_time = between(2, 5)  # Wait time between simulated users

    def on_start(self):
        # Log in and get the authentication token
        login_payload = {
            'username': 'your_username',
            'password': 'your_password'
        }
        response = self.client.post('/login', json=login_payload)
        if response.status_code == 200:
            self.auth_token = response.json().get('token')
        else:
            print("Login failed")

    @task
    def get_users(self):
        # Send a GET request to the /users endpoint with the authentication token
        headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {self.auth_token}'}
        response = self.client.get('/users', headers=headers)

        # Check if the request was successful
        if response.status_code == 200:
            print("Get users successful")
        else:
            print("Get users failed")

```

### Run it!

To run it, it's very simple.
```
locust -f index.py
```

![The Fullscreen API](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/6qbaiqefviwdjliv3eun.png)

The fullscreen API is used to toggle fullscreen on webpages. This can be useful in games and videos where we may want to toggle fullscreen to phase out distractions for an imersive experience. It has no interface, but adds methods to the `Document` and `Element`interfaces.
## How to use:

- use `Element.requestFullscreen()`to place the element in fullscreen mode

- use `document.exitFullscreen()`to exit fullscreen

## Basic example:

```
const canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
canvas.addEventListener(
  "keydown",
  (e) => {
    if (e.key === "Enter") {
      toggleFullScreen();
    }
  },
);
function toggleFullscreen(){
  if(!document.fullscreenElement){
    canvas.requestFullscreen();
  }else {
    document.exitFullscreen();
  }
}
```
