Brian Jacobs Articles, JavaScript, Programming, Tutorial Leave a Comment

Iโ€™ve spent the past 15 years of my career working as a web developer. Over those years, Iโ€™ve learned and created various shortcuts to help ease development. So, I figured Iโ€™d share them with you. This short write up lists some of the JavaScript tips and tricks that Iโ€™ve picked up during my career.

The first snippet Iโ€™ll cover is one Iโ€™ve 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.

On my last two projects, I decided to give Azure Data Studio a try to see how it measured up to SSMS. Azure Data Studio gives you a more modern editor experience. Itโ€™s comparable to Visual Studio Code with IntelliSense, source control with GIT, and an integrated terminal for Powershell or SQLMD commands.

Azure Data Studio was built with a data platform user in mind, and its easy editing and export options, built-in charting of query results, and customizable dashboards make it an incredibly valuable tool.

In this post, Iโ€™ll go over some of the basics of how to use Azure Data Studio.

Cook Your Own Modal with Styled Components

I created several JavaScript modal dialogs – I always extend a framework modal instead of scratch-coding my own. I thought I knew the things a framework needs to implement in order to present a modal but did I? There was only one way to find out: cook my own JS browser modal, and that is exactly what weโ€™ll do in this post.

In this blog, I’ll cover a short approach to hand-coding your own modal with Styled Components. You can find the entire project on GitHub.
