In this post, I will be introducing three strategies that can help Node developers who wish to loosen their code. First, weโll cover microservices with Moleculer. Then, weโll through Inversion of Control with InversifyJS. Finally, weโll discuss N-Tier Architecture and why itโs helpful.
Iโve spent the past 15 years of my career working as a web developer. Over those years, Iโve learned and created various shortcuts to help ease development. So, I figured Iโd share them with you. This short write up lists some of the JavaScript tips and tricks that Iโve picked up during my career.
The first snippet Iโll cover is one Iโve only used in a very specific, unique circumstance. It may not be relevant to all of you, but I wanted to share for the few it would apply to. The rest are snippets I use on nearly a daily basis. No matter your situation or requirements, you should be able to find at least one that you can adopt.
I have found myself in the following scenario many times throughout my career. Everyone is ready to get the project started. You know what you are going to be working on, and as the frontend developer, you get started right away. You get to the point that you are ready to test your code to see how the API calls work. Thereโs one major thing in your way, though. The APIs aren’t done yet.
You could just create some static JSON files and read them in, but that doesn’t really test out calling an API. Thatโs where JSON Server swoops in to save the day. In this post, Iโll walk through how to use JSON Server. Weโll set up our environment, serve a simple JSON file, and generate mock data.
