Cypress Assertions
Tags: webdev, testing, tutorial, javascript
Published: 2021-05-05 12:13:51

In this tutorial, we will cover different types of Cypress Assertions such as the default, implicit and explicit assertions and talk about the difference between the should and the expect assertions.

Cypress uses the Chai assertion library as well as the extensions of Sinon & jQuery to provide you with dozens of powerful assertions for free.

### Default Assertions
Cypress comes with many default assertions that can be used without having to explicitly define assertions, such as –

- **cy.visit():** every-time you visit a page, Cypress expects the page to return with a 200 status code
- **cy.get():** the get command expects the element to exist in the DOM first before trying to access it

---

### Implicit Assertions
The implicit assertions used the `should()` or the `and()` commands when making assertions. This is the preferable way of making assertions in Cypress.

You can even chain multiple assertions together –

---

### Explicit Assertions
You should use Explicit assertions when you would like to make multiple assertions for the same subject or when you would like to manipulate your subject before making your assertion. For explicit assertions, you will use the `expect` command.

This weekend, I was reading a recently released book called [Grokking Simplicity](https://www.manning.com/books/grokking-simplicity), the purpose of the book is to teach functional programming without using the technical jargon. (If you know FP, this book may not be for you? It is for developers asking the question what is FP?)

I am very impressed with the book, from a beginner perspective I think it will be relatable to students who are just getting started. If practiced, it can create habits to form solid architecture discipline when building applications using any paradigm. The art of breaking large problems in to small pieces takes lots of practice and lots of iteration.

To start the book creates three easy to understand definitions of classifying your code:

1. Actions
2. Calculations
3. Data

#### Actions

Any function that the execution depends on when it is called or how many times it is called.

#### Calculations

Any function that takes zero to many input arguments and returns the same output for the same arguments every time it is executed. Some may call these pure functions.

#### Data

Facts created from events, these facts are concrete data for a given state.

#### Example

So how would go about breaking down existing code using these definitions? Lets take a couple examples:

```
// data 
const PersonObject = (name, age) => ({
  name: name,
  age: age
})

// calculation 
const assoc = (key, value, obj) => ({ ...obj, [key]: value})

// action
const log = (data) => console.log('data', data)
```

#### The hidden action

These examples should clearly show, what is an action, calculation and data, but some functions can hide the fact they are actions, if I call a function within my function that is an action, then my function becomes an action too. Actions can spread like a virus throughout our code base. Actions are where the most gnarly bugs live. While actions are very important for your application, by pushing the actions to the boundaries of your application, you are able to contain virus and keep the bugs easy to find and trap.

```
// hidden action
const doSomething() {
  ...
  log(data)
  ...
}
```

#### Summary

By applying these simple classifications to your code you can get cleaner code without having to use any fancy functional language or utility library. This is called Functional Thinking, there is more, but take some time and give some thought to this style of classifying your code and see how many actions, calculations, and data functions one of your use cases contain. Try refactoring your actions in to more calculations. You will find your code becomes easier to test, maintain, and will feel reliable.

How to Make a Copy to Clipboard with Javascript
Tags: webdev, javascript
Published: 2021-05-05 11:31:10

Have you ever seen on a website page there is a copy URL to clipboard feature? This feature really helps users or visitors to copy URLs from website posts, so that users don't need to copy or copy URLs manually. Do you intend to add a copy URL to clipboard feature on your website? if so, you are absolutely right to read this article because in this article we will both learn how to create the URL to clipboard copy feature using javascript. The method is very easy, we only need to prepare a text editor, browser and internet network (optional).

The following is a sample code for creating the **copy** **to** **clipboard** feature.

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
        <title>Copy to Clipboard</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <!-- The text field -->
        <input type="text" value="https://bisabos.com/blog/cara-membuat-animasi-mengetik-teks-dengan-css-dan-javascript" id="copyText" readonly>
        <!-- The button used to copy the text -->
        <button id="copyBtn">Copy text</button>
        <!--using sweetalert via CDN -->
        <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/sweetalert2@10"></script>
        <script>
            const copyBtn = document.getElementById('copyBtn')
            const copyText = document.getElementById('copyText')
            
            copyBtn.onclick = () => {
                copyText.select();    // Selects the text inside the input
                document.execCommand('copy');    // Simply copies the selected text to clipboard 
                 Swal.fire({         //displays a pop up with sweetalert
                    icon: 'success',
                    title: 'Text copied to clipboard',
                    showConfirmButton: false,
                    timer: 1000
                });
            }
        </script>

Simple Ways To Optimize Your Social Media Shares In 2021 - eGoodMedia
Published: 2021-05-05 10:38:03

Tracking social media shares for your target posts & website URL is a very crucial part of your marketing strategy. Because social media shares encourage more & more users to watch your post & know about your brand & web address. Social share tracking is simply collecting a record of how many times your social post was shared across various sources. The users can share your post as their story on the same platform or other social media handles. When new users come to know about such posts, it is a plus point for your marketing campaign.

Lessons that you can learn from the success of Uber — A guide for budding entrepreneurs
Tags: startup, ios, android, flutter
Published: 2021-05-05 10:34:51

Amazed by the business model of Uber? And ever thought of learning concepts that helped Uber to become what it is now?

If you’re, then here are some [lessons that you can learn from the success of Uber](https://www.rentallscript.com/blog/lessons-to-be-learnt-from-uber/). And you can implement these in your business too.

[Get ready for a total value bomb!]

- Value-based pricing — If you’re a frequent Uber person, you’ve probably noticed a price gap during peak hours or in bad weather. This difference in pricing is called ‘Surge pricing’. 

This pricing policy is used by Uber to ensure that riders who are in desperate need of a ride will get one. Read more about surge pricing here.

- Engaging with users — Customers who are happy with their experience are the best brand ambassadors for a business. They aid in the spread of information. 

And, as any marketer can tell you, “word of mouth” is extremely important. Customers are more likely to believe word of mouth from family and friends than they are to believe advertisements.

- Be an early adopter — Since it was the first on-demand taxi booking app of its kind, Uber had the benefit of becoming the first entrant. 

As a result, it was able to carve out a significant market share. So be an early adopter and try to launch your MVP as soon as possible.

- Scalable and futuristic business model — Uber had a futuristic business model that helped them scale their platform to wider locations and related businesses. 

They built a platform that can be scalable as their business grows.

Isn’t that fascinating?

This journey has inspired us to [write a concise article about the lessons we can learn from Uber.](https://www.rentallscript.com/blog/lessons-to-be-learnt-from-uber/)

We have a special deal for you if you’re motivated to start a company like Uber.

We’ve developed a product called [Wooberly](https://www.rentallscript.com/blog/lessons-to-be-learnt-from-uber/), which is a ready-to-use on-demand taxi booking app that you can use to start an online business similar to Uber.

Der Thrive Themes Editor, der als "Ein einfach zu bedienender Content-Editor, der es einfach macht, deine nächste Website mit unseren WordPress-Themes zu erstellen" beschrieben wird, ist nicht anders als jedes andere Content-Management-System: Er gibt dir die Möglichkeit, Inhalte hinzuzufügen und zu bearbeiten, die auf deiner Website angezeigt werden sollen. Allerdings ist der Editor so gestrafft, dass er immer nur einen Klick entfernt ist, auch wenn du einen einzelnen Beitrag oder eine Seite ansiehst, was ihn viel einfacher zu bedienen macht als den klassischen Beitragseditor. Wir reden hier nicht von der einfachen, abgespeckten Version des klassischen Editors, sondern von einer komplett neuen Bearbeitungserfahrung, die als "eine einfache, übersichtliche Oberfläche, die das Erstellen von Killer-Inhalten zu einem Kinderspiel macht" beschrieben wird.

# Learning Web Components

I learned Web Components by _**asking**_ loads of questions on StackOverflow.

Now I learn more and more about Web Components, 
by _**answering**_ questions on Stack Overflow.

Last year, in the SVG topic, someone asked how to do a **half-star** Rating

![](https://i.imgur.com/3ZBQ2gd.png)

Like many I started by drawing **half** star icons.

* then realised it is easier to draw **all 5 stars** 
by _cutting them **out**_ the green _**foreground**_. 

* A gold rectangle _**behind**_ the green foreground then indicates the value.

### DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)

For full explanation on how the SVG and Web Component work see: 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65366162/is-it-possible-to-only-show-half-of-a-svg-icon

<hr>

# A &lt;star-rating> Web Component

All the Web Component then has to do is draw **_double_ the amount of _invisible_ rectangles** to capture the mouse position **over** the "half-stars".

A fully configurable &lt;star-rating> Web Component:

```html
<star-rating stars=5 rating="3.5"
             bgcolor="green" nocolor="grey" color="gold"></star-rating>
```

![](https://i.imgur.com/3ZBQ2gd.png)


```html             
<star-rating stars=7 rating="50%"
             bgcolor="rebeccapurple" nocolor="beige" color="goldenrod"></star-rating>
```

![](https://i.imgur.com/A4C5aox.png)

Can then be created with **22 lines _vanilla_ JavaScript code**:

_Play with the code, tweak it, break it, mend it again, enhance it, learn!_
