【React.js】Making a Simple Toast Message Component with useContext and React Portal　-part1-
Tags: webdev, react, typescript, nextjs
Published: 2024-03-01 02:03:22

I have been a good friend with [React-Toastify](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-toastify) for a long time.
So whenever I need a toast mesage in my app I just go fot it.

But this time I made it from scratch using useContext and React portal so that the toast message fits in my app design concept.

First of all, I defined a React Portal component.

## Why using React Portal
Why do we need to make a portal to implement a toast message to begin with?

Reason being that you can render the message component **separate from the rest of the code** in your app. 
This allow you to avoid z-index and styling issues. Also, you can **insert the message component at the root level of your app** so it doesn't affect other content.

## Define a React Portal

```javascript
import React from 'react';
import ReactDom from 'react-dom';

type Props = {
  children: React.ReactNode;
  selector: string; //a CSS selector to select the target DOM element
};

const ClientPortal = ({ children, selector }: Props): React.ReactPortal | null => {
  const ref = React.useRef<Element>();
  const [mounted, setMounted] = React.useState(false);
// track whether the portal has been mounted

  React.useEffect(() => {
    const elm = document.querySelector(selector);
    if (elm) {
      ref.current = elm;
      setMounted(true);
    }
  }, [selector]);

  return mounted && ref.current ? ReactDom.createPortal(children, ref.current) : null;
};

export default ClientPortal;
```

In ClientPortal component, you have useEffect, which first searches for the DOM element specified by the selector, and if found, sets ref.current to the found element.
Also it sets mounted state to true, indicating the target for portal is ready.

This component utilizes ReactDOM.createPortal to render its children into a DOM element **referred to by ref.current**, effectively creating a portal that allows the children to be **mounted onto a different part of the DOM tree** than their parent component.

At the end, there is code that exports the component as the default export, so it can be imported and used in other files.

## continue to part2

in part 2, I'm going to show how I, personally, made a Toast Messsage popper component.

Creating Histograms ruby
Published: 2024-03-01 01:40:44

Histograms can be visual representations of a hash resulting from input. An array is a data structure made up of elements all in a line. 

If you have a hash with a default value, as you try to access a non-existent key, you get the default value

I need to remember when using iterations I can replace `{}` with the word "for" to better understand the code and comprehend instructions.

Building a Full-Stack App with Angular and Node.js
Tags: angular, javascript, beginners, programming
Published: 2024-03-01 00:33:07

## Introduction

Building a full-stack application involves working with both front-end and back-end technologies to develop a complete and functional web application. Angular and Node.js are two popular JavaScript-based frameworks that are commonly used for full-stack development. In this article, we will discuss the advantages, disadvantages, and features of building a full-stack app with Angular and Node.js.

## Advantages

1. **Single Language:** One of the major advantages of using Angular and Node.js is that both front-end and back-end development can be done using a single language - JavaScript. This saves time and effort for developers who do not have to switch between different languages.

2. **Easy to learn:** Angular and Node.js have a relatively low learning curve compared to other full-stack technologies. This makes it easier for developers to get familiar with these frameworks and start building applications quickly.

3. **Rich features:** Both Angular and Node.js come with a wide range of features and libraries that make it easy to develop complex and dynamic applications. From data binding to dependency injection, these frameworks provide a robust platform for building full-stack apps.

## Disadvantages

1. **Steep learning curve:** While Angular and Node.js have a low learning curve, it can still be intimidating for developers with no prior experience in JavaScript. It may take some time to understand the concepts and best practices of these frameworks.

2. **Limited community support:** As Angular and Node.js are relatively new frameworks, their community support may not be as extensive as other established technologies. This can make it challenging to find solutions to complex problems.

## Features

1. **MVC architecture:** Angular and Node.js follow the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture, making it easier to organize and structure code for both front-end and back-end development.

2. **Server-side rendering:** With Angular Universal, developers can render the initial view of their application on the server, improving performance and SEO.

3. **Powerful CLI:** Angular comes with a Command Line Interface (CLI) that makes it easy to generate components, services, and pipes. Node.js also has a CLI that can be used to install packages and manage dependencies.

### Example of Angular CLI Usage

```bash
# Generating a new component
ng generate component my-component

# Adding a new service
ng generate service my-service
```
### Example of Node.js Package Management

```js
# Installing a package
npm install express

# Starting the Node.js application
npm start
```

## Conclusion

Overall, building a full-stack app with Angular and Node.js has many advantages, such as using a single language, rich features, and MVC architecture. However, there are also some challenges such as a steep learning curve and limited community support. By considering both the advantages and disadvantages, developers can determine if Angular and Node.js are the right fit for their next full-stack project.
Running the Editcp DMR codeplug editor binary on a Mac
Tags: amateurradio, hamradio, dmr, macos
Published: 2024-03-01 00:29:53

I've been looking for a painless way to run Dale Farnworth's excellent [Editcp DMR codeplug editor](https://www.farnsworth.org/dale/codeplug/editcp/) on my Mac, mostly because it's more convenient than additionally pulling out my rarely used Linux laptop.

I vaguely recall trying a few years ago to build it natively on the Mac and this being very complex and ultimately failing. So today I tried a different approach: running Editcp in one of my existing VMware Ubuntu Linux VMs.

*In short, I'm delighted to report that this works for me once I installed XQuartz on the Mac and libqt5gui5 on Linux!*

My environment:

- MacOS Sonoma
- VMware Fusion
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS 64-bit VM

Steps for installing and running:

- brew install xquartz
- ssh -X ubuntuvm.local
- sudo apt install libqt5gui5
- /opt/bin/editcp
- choose to connect the USB device to Linux

Published: 2024-03-01 00:29:26

It's been some time since I don't publish anything here but I swear ideas are coming up and I have been working in a full-time job and studying in my free time.
This month I worked on concepts and real-life projects using flex-box, testing some cool tools to practice Git and complementing with the course OSSU's CS.
Unfortunately, I can't quit my full-time job as a commercial assistant to study at a great public university in my country, so what I can do to escape from private universities with shallow content is to study by myself.
How was your study experience this month? Do you already know OSSU project? If yes, how was your experience with it?
The Most Useful Docker Commands for Mac You’ve Never Heard of, Because You Need To Make Them
Tags: mac, docker, terminal, zsh
Published: 2024-03-01 00:22:45

The commands are:

* `docker open` - Open Docker Desktop (and therefore start the docker daemon) from your terminal.

* `docker close` - Close Docker Desktop (and therefore stop the docker daemon) from your terminal.

* `docker flush` - Stop and remove all running and stopped containers.

## How Do We Get There?

With a simple function written for Zsh which is provided below.

```sh
docker() {
    case "$1" in
        "open")
            echo "Opening the Docker app..."
            open --background -a Docker
            ;;
        "close")
            echo "Stopping currently running Docker containers..."
            command docker ps -q | xargs -r -L1 command docker stop
            if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
                echo "Closing the Docker app..."
                test -z "$(command docker ps -q 2>/dev/null)" && osascript -e 'quit app "Docker"'
            else
                echo "Failed to stop containers."
            fi
            ;;
        "flush")
            echo "Stopping and removing all containers."
            command docker container stop $(command docker ps -a -q) && command docker container rm $(command docker ps -a -q)
            if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
                echo "Done."
            else
                echo "Failed to flush containers."
            fi
            ;;
        *)
            command docker "$@"
            ;;
    esac
}
```

To make the commands detailed earlier accessible in your terminal, incorporate them into your Zsh configuration. This can be achieved by appending the script to your `~/.zshrc` file. Alternatively, you can add it to another file that `~/.zshrc` sources. Begin by opening the `~/.zshrc` file located in your home directory with your preferred text editor. Then, simply copy and paste the script to the end of this file.

## But Why Though?

I've saved this section for last because I assume that if you've found your way here, you likely have your own reasons for seeking out such functionality.

However, mine started back when I was working on a less powerful Macbook Air back in 2019 or so. I didn't want to run Docker Desktop in the background all of the time, but I wanted an easy way to start and stop the Docker daemon from the terminal. 

Additionally, sometimes I wanted to bring down a project spun up by `docker compose`, but I didn't necessarily want to change directories to the project where the `docker-compose.yml` file was.

While these might seem like trivial issues, I've been pleasantly surprised by the significant utility these commands have provided over the years. I wanted to share them in the hope they might be useful to others.
Event-driven architecture (EDA)
Published: 2024-02-29 19:10:55


[](https://www.linkedin.com/in/aditya-raj-programmer-analyst/)Event-driven architecture (EDA) is a software design pattern that emphasizes the production, detection, consumption, and reaction to events. In an event-driven system, events are the driving force behind the flow of data and control. Here are key concepts to help you understand event-driven architecture:

Events:

An event is a significant change in state or a notable occurrence within a system.
Events can be triggered by various sources, such as user actions, sensor outputs, messages from other systems, or changes in the application's internal state.
Event Producer:

The event producer is a component or system responsible for generating and emitting events.
Examples of event producers include user interfaces, IoT devices, databases, or other software components.
Event Consumer:

The event consumer is a component or system that reacts to events.
Consumers subscribe to specific types of events and execute predefined actions or logic when those events occur.
Event Broker/Bus:

An event broker or event bus is a communication channel that facilitates the exchange of events between producers and consumers.
It acts as an intermediary that allows components to publish events and other components to subscribe to events they are interested in.
Decoupling:

Event-driven architecture promotes loose coupling between different components or services.
Components are decoupled because producers do not need to know which specific consumers are interested in their events, and consumers do not need to be aware of the producers.
Asynchronous Processing:

Events are often processed asynchronously, meaning that the producer and consumer operate independently of each other.
Asynchronous processing allows for greater scalability and responsiveness, as components can continue their work without waiting for immediate feedback from other components.
Scalability and Flexibility:

Event-driven architecture is well-suited for scalable and flexible systems.
New functionalities can be added by introducing new event producers or consumers without modifying existing components.
Challenges:

While EDA offers benefits, it also introduces challenges such as ensuring event reliability, dealing with event ordering, and managing potential event loops.
Use Cases:

Event-driven architecture is commonly used in scenarios where real-time responsiveness, scalability, and decoupling of components are essential. Examples include microservices architectures, IoT systems, and distributed systems.
Examples of Event-Driven Systems:

Message queues (e.g., Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ), serverless architectures, and reactive programming frameworks (e.g., RxJS for JavaScript) are often used to implement event-driven systems.
