Internationalization? More Like International-WIN-ization with Flutter Mason! (Effortless Internationalization)
Tags: flutter, dart, mason, opensource
Published: 2024-05-05 10:42:47


Flutter devs, ever feel like you're stuck in a loop localization drudgery?

Fear not, weary coder! Even if you're not a Flutter master (yet!), this article will have you saying "I'm beginning to see the pattern...".

We all know Flutter is fast compared to native development (looking at you, Android Studio!), but buckle up because Flutter Mason is about to blow your development speed right out of the water. ️  This article will be your guide to the specific Flutter Mason trick that'll make ARB localization a breeze.

## Localiz
As it's description mentioned "Ease and Speed up Internationalizing Flutter Apps" this brick integrate all the arb dependencies, configuration and arb files for you.

### How ? 🤔
Alright, installation time! But before we dive in, here's a friendly reminder:

We've got two options for getting Mason and mason_cli on your machine. For the command-line cowboys,there's the classic 
`dart pub global activate mason_cli`.
But if you're a true programmer of culture (and a Homebrew user), you can unleash the power of 
`brew tap felangel/mason; brew install mason`.

Finally, the moment we've all been waiting for: installing the localiz brick.
You can do this locally with `mason add localiz` or go full global dominance with `mason add -g localiz`. The choice is yours, but choose wisely!

### Use it 
All you need to do now it to use it on your project
`mason make localiz`
this will trigger the brick, and it will ask you:

```bash
Choose language to include in your app?
  ◯  English (en)
  ◯  Arabic (ar)
  ◯  Chinese (zh-CN)
  ◯  Spanish (es)
  ◯  French (fr-FR)
```
it's a multiple selection so use the spacebar to select the languages you want to include when localizing your app

after this the brick will ask you which language of those you select it's the default and will act like the arb template reference.

That's it! Now you can high-five yourself, commit your changes, push it to the repo, mark your Jira ticket as "DONE" with the smug satisfaction of a champion.

The localiz brick takes care of everything: installing those pesky packages (intl, flutter_localizations), generating the l10n.yaml config file with your default language, and even creates the l10n folder within your lib directory pre-populated with all the languages you selected.

Basically, it saves you a ton of time on tedious setup, freeing you up to focus on the real coding magic. Because, let's be honest, life is way too short to be wrangling ARB files manually.
Never Lose Changes Again: Mastering Git Reflog for Developers
Published: 2024-05-05 10:28:54

Hey fellow developers!

How many times have you found yourself in a panic because you accidentally deleted a branch, reset to the wrong commit, or just plain lost track of your changes in Git? Don't worry; we've all been there! But fear not, because I'm here to introduce you to a lifesaver in the Git toolkit: git reflog.

**What is git reflog?**
Git reflog, short for reference log, is a built-in Git tool that records changes to the tip of branches. It keeps track of when the tips of branches were updated in the local repository, even if those changes are no longer referenced by any branch or tag.

**How does it work?**
When you perform operations like committing changes, creating branches, or rebasing, Git updates its internal pointers to keep track of where your branches are pointing. Git reflog logs all these changes, providing you with a detailed history of every move you've made within your repository.

**Why is it useful?**
Here's where it gets interesting. Imagine you accidentally delete a branch using git branch -D, and then panic because you realize you still needed some changes from that branch. Or perhaps you mistakenly reset to an older commit and lost some crucial work. Instead of frantically searching through your commit history or resorting to data recovery tools, you can turn to git reflog.

**How to use git reflog?**
**Accessing the reflog:** Simply type git reflog in your terminal. This command will display a chronological list of all the recent operations you've performed in your repository, along with the corresponding commit hashes.
Find lost commits or branches: Scan through the reflog output to identify the action you want to revert or recover from. Each entry in the reflog has a commit hash associated with it. You can use these commit hashes to reset your branch or cherry-pick specific commits.
**Restoring lost changes:** Once you've identified the commit or branch you want to recover, you can use commands like git reset --hard <commit> or git checkout -b <branch> <commit> to bring back your lost changes.
Conclusion
Git reflog is a powerful tool that can save you from the nightmare of lost changes or accidental operations. By keeping a detailed log of your repository's history, it provides a safety net for developers, allowing you to easily backtrack and recover from mistakes.

So the next time you find yourself in a Git-related crisis, remember to turn to git reflog. It might just be the superhero you need to save the day!

usememo & useCallback hook
Tags: javascript, react, nextjs, webdev
Published: 2024-05-05 10:21:50

useMemo and useCallback are two important hooks provided by React to optimize performance in functional components by memoizing values and callbacks respectively.
1.useMemo:
useMemo is used to memoize the result of a function so that the function is only re-executed when one of its dependencies changes.
Syntax:
const memoizedValue = useMemo(() => computeExpensiveValue(a,                                    
                                b), [a, b]);
Example:
const memoizedResult = useMemo(() => {
  return computeExpensiveValue(a, b);
   }, [a, b]);
2.useCallback:
useCallback is used to memoize callbacks so that they are only recreated if one of their dependencies changes.
Syntax:
const memoizedCallback = useCallback(() => {
  doSomething(a, b);
}, [a, b]);
Example:
const memoizedCallback = useCallback(() => {
  handleClick(id);
}, [id]);
In this example, handleClick will only be recreated if id changes.
These hooks are especially useful when dealing with expensive computations or passing callbacks to child components, helping to prevent unnecessary re-renders and optimize the performance of your React application.

Gateway VPC Endpoints on AWS
Tags: aws, networking, devops, vpc
Published: 2024-05-05 10:10:33



For our services, if we want to have internet access, we route the traffic via an internet gateway. 

However, there may be cases where we we don't want our network traffic to go through the public internet, we could utilise vpc endpoints, with vpc endpoints, we are able to access aws services via a private network.

A gateway vpc endpoint targets ip routes in a prefix list that belong to an aws service. Supported services are: AWS S3 and DynamoDB

Below architecture diagram of a gateway vpc endpoint showcases the implementation:

Implementing Firebase Password Reset with Error Handling in Your JavaScript Application
Tags: javascript, firebase, authentication, webdev
Published: 2024-05-05 10:00:28


Handling user authentication efficiently is crucial in modern web applications. At [itselftools.com](https://itselftools.com), with our extensive experience developing over 30 projects using Next.js and Firebase, we've gleaned insights that we'd love to share, particularly concerning user password management
. In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to implement a Firebase password reset feature with robust error handling.

## Understanding the Code

The following JavaScript function `resetUserPassword` facilitates the sending of a password reset email to users. If something goes wrong, it catches the error and provides appropriate feedback. Here's a detailed breakdown:

```javascript
// 5. Firebase password reset with error handling
const resetUserPassword = async (email) => {
  try {
    await sendPasswordResetEmail(auth, email);
    console.log('Reset link sent to your email address.');
  } catch (error) {
    switch (error.code) {
      case 'auth/invalid-email':
        console.error('The email address is not valid.');
        break;
      case 'auth/user-not-found':
        console.error('No user found with this email.');
        break;
      default:
        console.error('Password reset failed:', error);
        break;
    }
  }
};
```

### Step-by-Step Explanation
1. **Function Invocation**: This asynchronous function `resetUserPassword` accepts one parameter: the user's email address.
2. **Send Reset Email**: The `sendPasswordResetEmail` function from Firebase's Authentication library is called. This function is designed to handle the work of sending a reset link to the provided email address.
3. **Error Handling**: If the function fails for some reason (like a network issue or because of incorrect input), it catches the error. The `catch` block processes different types of errors based on Firebase's error codes and logs appropriate messages to the console.

## Common Errors and Their Handling
- **Invalid Email**: If the entered email is not correctly formatted, it prompts 'The email address is not valid.'.
- **User Not Found**: When no corresponding user exists in the database for the provided email, it indicates 'No user found with this email.'.
- **Other Errors**: All other uncategorized errors are logged with a general failure message.

## Conclusion
Implementing a secure and user-friendly password reset feature in your Firebase-powered application enhances user trust and reduces administrative overhead. To see this code in action, explore some of our applications like [camera testing tools](https://webcam-test.com), [word search games](https://find-words.com), and [video compression utilities](https://video-compressor-online.com).

As developers continue to strive for better and more secure user experiences, features like these are indispensable. They ensure users can manage their accounts effectively, contributing to overall application success and user satisfaction.
What is a singleton class in Java? And How to implement a singleton class?
Tags: java, interview, programming, codenewbie
Published: 2024-05-05 09:59:09

Have you ever encountered situations where you needed only one instance of a particular object to be shared across your entire application? Imagine the scenario of an office water jug – if every employee required water, they wouldn't create a new water jug each time. Instead, they would all share the same jug, pouring water into their glasses as needed. This concept of a single, shared instance lies at the heart of singleton classes in Java.

**What is a Singleton Class?**

Singleton classes in Java ensure that only one instance of the class is created and provide a global point of access to that instance. This means that any part of the program can access the same instance of the class, allowing for centralized management of resources or state.

**Implementing a Singleton Class: The Water Jug Analogy**

Let's translate the water jug analogy into a Java singleton class named `WaterJug`:

```java
public class WaterJug {
   private int waterQuantity = 500;
   private static WaterJug instance = null;
   
   private WaterJug() {} // Private constructor to prevent external instantiation
   
   // Method to provide the service of Giving Water.
   public int getWater(int quantity){
       waterQuantity -= quantity;
       return quantity;
   }
   
   // Method to return the object to the user.
   public static WaterJug getInstance(){
       // Will Create a new object if the object is not already created and return the object.
       if(instance == null){
           instance = new WaterJug();
       }
       return instance;
   }
}
```

**Understanding the Code:**

- We have a private constructor to prevent external instantiation of the class.
- The `getInstance()` method provides a way to access the single instance of the class. If the instance is not already created, it creates one and returns it.
- The `getWater()` method simulates the act of taking water from the jug, reducing the water quantity.

**Usage Example:**

```java
public class Office {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Get the singleton instance
        WaterJug jug = WaterJug.getInstance();
        
        // Employees use the same jug to get water
        int waterTaken = jug.getWater(100); // Employee 1 takes 100ml
        System.out.println("Water taken: " + waterTaken + "ml");
        
        // Another employee gets water
        waterTaken = jug.getWater(50); // Employee 2 takes 50ml
        System.out.println("Water taken: " + waterTaken + "ml");
    }
}
```

**Thread Safety and Alternative Approaches:**

While the above implementation provides a basic form of thread safety, there are more robust approaches such as using double-checked locking or Java enums for singleton classes.

**Conclusion:**

Singleton classes in Java offer a convenient way to ensure that only one instance of a class is created and accessed globally. By understanding the concept through real-life analogies like the office water jug scenario, you can grasp the importance and utility of singleton classes in your Java applications.
Mastering Regular Expressions in Java
Tags: java
Published: 2024-05-05 09:56:28

Regular expressions (regex) are a fundamental tool in any Java developer’s toolkit, allowing for the efficient searching, matching, and manipulation of strings. Drawing inspiration from “The Java Workshop,” let’s delve into the complexity and power of regex in Java.

#The Power of Pattern Matching

At the core of Java’s regex capabilities are the `Pattern` and `Matcher` classes, which together provide a rich set of operations for pattern matching and text processing. The `Pattern` class is used to define a compiled representation of a regex, while the `Matcher` class is used to perform match operations on a character sequence.
![Pattern Matching](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/mgjr3v0zx53etdmn89j8.png)

#Embracing Regex Complexity

Regex in Java can be as simple or as complex as your needs dictate. For instance, capturing groups allow you to extract information from a string, while lookaheads and lookbehinds enable conditional matching without consuming characters.

Consider this example, where we use capturing groups to extract key-value pairs from a string:
![Regex Complexity](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/hm0mfq7ygiqukiyztykh.png)

#Advanced Regex Features

Java’s regex engine supports advanced features like non-capturing groups, positive and negative lookaheads, atomic groups, and more. These features enable sophisticated pattern matching scenarios that can handle complex string manipulation tasks with ease.

Here’s a snippet demonstrating the use of lookaheads:
![Regex Features](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/tglb9zrzfoqe1kkzddrp.png)

#Conclusion

Regular expressions in Java are a powerful means of text processing, offering a level of complexity that can handle a wide range of scenarios. Whether you’re performing simple validations or parsing large datasets, regex provides the tools you need to get the job done efficiently. By understanding and leveraging the full spectrum of regex features, Java developers can write cleaner, more maintainable code that stands up to the demands of modern software development.
