Published: 2020-05-22 07:15:36

Low code development is one of the most interesting development approaches at businesses as it reduces the app development efforts. One must easily develop an app for his business just by drag and drop without need of any professional software developer.  It provides the Graphical User Interface for programming and hence the rapid app development is possible. Here are some tools that help in the rapid development of code. But before proceeding towards it, let us see the details of low code.

**What Is Low-Code?**
Low code is a visual development approach to develop an application. It allows developers to build apps for web and mobile regardless of experience with the help of drag and drop components and model driven logic through a graphic user interface. It mitigate non-technical developers from writing code and supports professional developers to carry out tedious tasks in application development. And hence developers can create, iterate and release applications in very less time as compared to traditional methods. Low-code application development allows development of all types of apps for different kinds of use cases.

**Working Of Low-Code Development Platforms-**
Here are some platforms that will avoid the writing of code line by line. It allows you to design a flowchart and the code will get created. And hence the code development gets faster.

**Benefits of Low-code Development Tools–**
There are a lot of benefits of using low code development tools and by using it many people can contribute to the app development process. Agility of organizations is improved by using these platforms. It makes the app development process more simple and easy as compared to the traditional process. Apart from easy development, low code development has two other important benefits which is high productivity and low cost development as it can develop more apps in less time. According to the research, it boosts the digital transformation at 69% and also it reduces the dependency of high technical skills to 40%. It contains the features of visual modeling, drag and drop interfaces, mobility, security and scalability.

We all love Google Sheet (at least who use it), which took the Excel struck on the Desktop to the cloud, no more attaching files to email. When such a powerful collaborative tool is exposed to other apps like Zapier, Integromate, it can do wonder. Google Sheet can act as a dynamic data store,  but what it lacks is a familiar web interface. Say, you have a table of data you want to present it to your users or customers, won't it make a difference?

I had the same question, collected some feedback on Reddit. Not to mention, there are a few solutions, tackling in their own ways. 

We have launched on  [Product Hunt](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/myquicksite) , do share your feedback there! 

## Overview

I decided to build MyQuickSite.com, using a simple stable tech stack.  MyQuickSite lets you convert your Google Sheet into a nice Website or Webpage. You can,

- Choose basic layouts like Table, List, or Grid
- Enable search on any fields
- Enable or disable Sidebar
- Choose a template or write your own CSS or combine both
- Map your own domain
- Make your website public or private
- Configure your site theme (like colors)

No data is stored on our servers, all happen in realtime. Here is a quick look, click to play the full video,

[![Video](https://myquicksite.com/img/banner.gif)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hzpuxgW1fE "MyQuickSite Demo" "Demo")

## Behind the scene

I host the static files on AWS CloudFront, MongoDB is the database. MyQuickSite requires permission to your Google Drive, retrieves the OAuth token, saves the encrypted token in the database. NodeJS and VueJS is the technology stack. A more technical writeup to follow up soon.

## Payment plans

As of now, there 3 payment options,
- Free
- Ultimate 
- Premium

Quick notes on efcore for postgres
Tags: efcore, postgres, dotnetcore
Published: 2020-05-22 06:57:33

Got to be quick :) 

Add the postgres ef library to your project from [Nuget.org](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL/)

    `dotnet add package Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL --version 3.1.3`

Setting the efcore middleware on `Startup.cs`, and picking the connection string from app settings

    ```csharp
    services.AddDbContext<DdlContext>(options =>
                options.UseNpgsql(Configuration.GetConnectionString("MoviesConnection"))
            );
    ```

Now Add Your ContextClass `MoivesContext`

    ```csharp
    public class DdlContext : DbContext
    {
        public DbSet<Movie> Movies { get; set; }

        public DdlContext(DbContextOptions<DdlContext> options) : base(options)
        {

        }       
    }
    ```

In case you have an existingDB which has table and column names different form your Models you can override modelling

    ```csharp
    protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
        {
            modelBuilder.Entity<Movie>(x =>
                {
                    x.ToTable("movies_new");


                    x.Property(y => y.Title).HasColumnName("movie_name");
                    x.Property(y => y.Year).HasColumnName("movie_year");
                    x.Property(y => y.Rating).HasColumnName("movie_rating");
                }
            );

        }
    ```

Understanding Cloud technologies, like Kubernetes, can be difficult or time-consuming. In order to spread knowledges about it, I started to create [sketchnotes about Kubernetes](https://dev.to/aurelievache/kubernetes-sketchnotes-pods-4ib0) and know it's time to talk about a perfect companion of Kubernetes, a service mesh, Istio.

We continue our new serie of Sketchnotes about Istio, with [Kiali](https://kiali.io), the perfect observability companion tool to Istio.

![Alt Text](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/zdpgex32v8o2sbf87dly.jpg)

If you are interested, I published a book with all the sketchnotes on Istio (and new ones!): ["Understanding Istio in a visual way"](https://gumroad.com/aurelievache#vJYhM).

As usual, if you like theses sketchnotes, you can follow me, and tell me what do you think. I will publish others sketchs shortly :-).
Should you write code all the time, even in your free time?
Tags: discuss, beginners, tutorial, javascript
Published: 2020-05-22 06:22:42

I hear senior developers saying I shouldn't do it because I will get burned out, I hear not so experienced ones saying we should use every moment we have to write another line of code. Some even look down on you and think you're not passionate/ serious enough about your job, just because you don't breath code 24/7.

While I do do work related things after clocking out (and I'm not opposed to that, since I don't have a great deal of experience and there are many things to learn), I can't help thinking about that people working in other fields are not really expected to take their work home with them - I don't see my friend who's a nurse going around and giving shots to her neighbors, after her working hours are done.

What's you opinion on this? Is the amount of time spent coding outside office hours an indicator of how good/ passionate of a developer you are?

Fireact — The open source project to fast track your next web app with Firebase and React
Tags: firebase, react, fireact, opensource
Published: 2020-05-22 06:19:13

Hi All,

I created a fully functional web application that users can sign-in via social accounts based on Firebase and React, called [Fireact](https://github.com/chaoming/fireact).

![Screenshot](https://miro.medium.com/max/700/1*saoIDrUR9mo5qM01yT3iTg.png)

##The Idea

Basic user sign-in and management functions are needed in almost every web application project, and they are built over and over again. So I think it might be a good idea to create an open source project which comes with these features so everyone can focus on building the important functionality of their projects.

The project can also serve as an example for developers who are learning Firebase and React. It demonstrates how to use Firebase authentication, Firestore database and Cloud Functions with React.

##Demo

You can access [the live demo here](https://fireact-e1bdc.firebaseapp.com/). After you play around the demo, feel free to delete your testing account.

##Source Code

The Github project link is [https://github.com/chaoming/fireact](https://github.com/chaoming/fireact)

If you like this project, please star it in Github and consider becoming a contributor.
Vanilla JavaScript get Month Name
Tags: javascript
Published: 2020-05-22 06:17:44

Sticking to the Date theme, as we have seen how to get the [days between two dates](http://daily-dev-tips.com/posts/vanilla-javascript-days-between-two-dates/) yesterday. Today we are going to see how we can a month's name in `JavaScript`.

## JavaScript getting a Months name

So let's start off by defining a date object.

```js
var date = new Date();
// Todays date
```

We can use the JavaScript function `toLocaleString` to get a months name.

```js
console.log(date.toLocaleString('default', {month: 'long'}));
// May
```

Instead of the `long` option we can also use short and get a Month like: `Dec`

```js
var december = new Date('12/01/2020');
console.log(december.toLocaleString('default', {month: 'short'}));
// Dec
```

And as you have seen we are providing a `default` keywords this is the placeholder for the `locale` so let's try and get a months name in a different `locale`.

```js
var december = new Date('12/01/2020');
console.log(december.toLocaleString('fr-FR', {month: 'long'}));
// décembre
```

I hope you found this a useful tip and feel free to check out the Codepen.

Issue related to flushSyncCallbackQueue
Tags: issue, react, stop, flushsynccallbackqueue
Published: 2020-05-22 06:09:31

Hi

While development in React JS application, I have faced one issue. Can anybody help to resolve?

Issue:
I have applied accordion panel with number of accordion items. On first time few of them is expanded by default. There is option on page to expand all and collapse all. I can perform that operation successfully. But after that once click on accordion item to expand, it expand and immediately collapse again due to call of react function flushSyncCallbackQueue() automatically. This function is called from discreteUpdates$1() react function. I want to stop this automatic calling function.

Please let me know if someone have solution for that.

Thanks
Gendoc | PDF Document Generation as a Service
Tags: saas, showdev, programming, productivity
Published: 2020-05-22 06:00:51

# Origin of the idea 

Having worked for a few years on different kinds of projects made me learn something: **Generating PDFs is hard**. Whether you would like to build them for invoices, quotes, sales presentations, or custom documents, that's not a simple thing. 

PDF generation requires complex infrastructure, can consume a lot of resources, and does not always render as you expect. 

Facing those problems made me build Gendoc: a simple API to generate beautiful PDF documents.

# How does it work? 

For its basics, Gendoc is just a simple HTML to PDF rendering API. 
Call our systems with an HTML document, and, we will make your PDF. 

But, that's not all. To lessen the work of making HTML compatible for generating PDF documents, we've added: 
- the possibility to inject variables, and perform computations, directly from your HTML (using handlebars templating engine) 
- a set of advanced CSS rules (such as paged media queries), that will allow you to build great-looking documents, using headers, footers, page counts and more, and ensure that they will look the same as what you build locally 

With Gendoc, say goodbye to all the manual work of tweaking your HTML, and selecting a PDF rendering engine. Just create, and send us your documents, we will do the rest. 

# How can I try it? 

Our tool is freely accessible at www.gendoc.io

Feel free to have a look, and discover how you can add beautiful documents in your product, in your sales process, or elsewhere.

We've also got an API, which is documented at https://gendoc.io/documentation

## How I built it (what's the stack? did I run into issues or discover something new along the way?)
I am new to web development and so I learned new things and language. I learned about styling and asyncronous behavior of Javascript. Designing was something that kept me involved as I struggled a lot using CSS.

## Additional Thoughts / Feelings / Stories
I am happy to learn something and even make something out of that learning. I want to learn as much as possible everyday to build great things. Looking forward to building something new and useful and eventually make this world a better place

This was one of my first projects I build while learning the Vue JS framework and I had a alot of fun. The issues I ran into were mainly getting used to the Vue syntax but I had a lot of help from google and stack overflow 😀. 


## Additional Thoughts / Feelings / Stories
I would still like  to continue working on this project and to keep improving it. There is still a few things I want to do one of the them is change my weather API, the current DarkSky API is shutting down so my app will stop working when that happens. I would also like to make it responsive so it can adapt to mobile UI.

Hey devers!! Out there, what are your thoughts on transition into any of the specialization like front end engineer or backend engineer after having some good years of experience  as FullStack engineer??

What were your hurdles in selection of a specific role and what helped you into landing into that role??

Currently I'm trying to transition myself from FullStack JS engineer to a backend engineer but the Job hunt had me feel I'm lacking in many ways.😇 

Please do share your two cents...would be really helpful to figure out the grey areas
Remote work during COVID-19

I had worked for one and half month during COVID-19, felt kind of depressed to work, live at one same house, made me question the value of work. More and more companies anounce forever remote work, e.g facebook, spotify. Have you remote worked during COVID-19? How do you feel about it? Do you like it?
