Node.JS Revolution: Farewell to Axios and Fetch API in Version 17.5.0

Bernardo Leite API Development, Articles, JavaScript, Node.js 1 Comment

Every self-respecting student of programming has already needed to use libraries (the famous โ€œlibโ€) in the development of their applications. Examples include the Axios and Fetch libs, which are widely used on the front-end and back-end to consume external APIs.

Recently, Node.JS v17.5 underwent two changes that divided opinions, so let’s explain how these changes impact the issues of effectiveness and agility in code production. Additionally, I will also discuss the pros and cons of this update.

This post contains a recap of my research into the subject and an exploration of Sir Timโ€™s so-called new Internet – a technology called Solid. We’ll start by exploring what Solid is, and then we’ll talk about its purposes and how to use it. It’s a pretty cool technology!

So, letโ€™s dive in. What exactly has Sir Tim Berners-Lee created?

Getting Started with Azure Data Studio

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.

In this article, we will go over how to install the Hangfire NuGet package within the NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio. Then, weโ€™ll walk through how to configure it within the .NET Core framework using Service Fabric. Lastly, weโ€™ll learn how to use the BackgroundJob.Enqueue method in order to schedule a background task to be performed and at the same time not disturb the flow of your code.

Application Rewrite: Proprietary, No-Code Design Tool

Keyhole consultants assisted the client with a proprietary designer platform for end users. This tool enables a non-programmer to create a form-based web application without using codeโ€”simply by dragging UI elements onto a form page. The form contains pages that have UI elements, each element with associated properties that are interactive at design time. Each element has behaviors that impart program logic to the form. The tool user interacts with those artifacts by dragging and dropping elements, drawing behavior or workflow connections, modifying properties, and then saving the form, as XML, to a server. A web-based player interprets the form XML to serve it to an end-user as a web application.
