OpenAPI Specification is a standard for both server and client.

The OpenAPI Specification (OAS) is a specification for machine-readable interface files for describing, producing, consuming, and visualizing RESTful web services. It is a standard for both server and client. Developers do not need to write, maintain, or worry about the consistency of code that will be generated automatically. In addition, Swagger UI generates beautiful documentation and acts as a test environment for API endpoints.

In addition to the OpenAPI Specification, Swagger Editor, and Swagger UI, Swagger Codegen performs the following two actions:

• Generate server stubs.
• Generate client SDKs.

In this…

We have introduced the OpenAPI Specification, Swagger Editor, and Swagger UI. Let’s look further into Swagger Codegen and Swagger Plugins.

Swagger Codegen starts with the OpenAPI Specification (OAS), and performs two actions:

• Generate server stubs.
• Generate client SDKs.

In this article, we focus on how to generate server stubs. We will talk about how to generate client SDKs in another article.

Generating server stubs is the design first approach, which starts with the OpenAPI Specification, YAML or JSON defined APIs on resources, operations, and data models. Once the design is complete, the business logic is implemented based on the generated…

Have you heard of APIs that are developed and documented by Swagger?

Yes, Swagger is hot these days. This novel approach uses the OpenAPI Specification, formerly called the Swagger Specification. After many years of API freedom, there is finally an industry standard to design, build, test, document, and use RESTful APIs.

Here is the definition from https://swagger.io/.

“Simplify API development for users, teams, and enterprises with the Swagger open source and professional toolset. Find out how Swagger can help you design and document your APIs at scale.”

Swagger is all about the APIs. UI developers are the consumers of APIs…

What is the world’s most popular programming language?

DevOps vendor Datree.io said it is YAML. After analyzing millions of open source GitHub projects, Datree.io found 60 million YAML files. In addition, it discovered at least one YAML file in more than 10,000 private repositories.

What is YAML?

YAML, a recursive acronym for “YAML Ain’t Markup Language”, is a human-readable data-serialization language. It is commonly used for configuration files and in applications where data is being stored or transmitted. For example, YAML has been used by Swagger, a toolset for OpenAPI that is a standard for both server and client. …

A table, also called a data grid, is an arrangement of data in rows and columns, or possibly in a more complex structure. It is an essential building block of a user interface. However, a table (with sorting, filtering, pagination, row selections, infinite scrolling, etc.) is not a component that is provided natively via many application frameworks.

You either build your own table or adopt an existing table component. There are two top contenders for tables. One is Ant Design and the other is React Table. The following npm trends show their weekly downloads, which are very close:

In JavaScript, we can have a static value in the source code. For example, a counter that starts at 0. We can also have a dynamic value in the source code. For example, new Date() will return the current time object at runtime.

But can we get a value specifically for compile-time processing (e.g. we want to display a timestamp when this version of code is compiled)?

Yes, we can. preval.macro is perfect for this kind of task.

Babel is a JavaScript transpiler. It enables us to write modern JavaScript that will be transpiled to ES5 JavaScript. In addition, Babel…

Have you ever written code similar to this?

The console message shows 1 + 2 + 3 = 6.

The output is beautiful, but the code to compose it is ugly and confusing (line 4). Let’s beautify it by using template literals and tagged template literals.

Template Literals

According to MDN Web Docs:

“Template literals are string literals allowing embedded expressions.

…

Template literals are enclosed by backtick (`) characters instead of double or single quotes.”

Template literals allow placeholders (${ }). Any expression in ${expression} will be evaluated and interpolated into the string.

For example, the previous code can be…

The software development job market is hot, regardless of the current social distancing protocols. Major companies are starting to see the productivity gained through working from home.

It is now a different landscape for software developers. Suddenly, we are open to any position in the country. Being a remote employee is no longer a concern. We may never meet our coworkers in person, and employees who were hired after the pandemic have yet to find an opportunity to visit their companies.

Remote, remote, and remote.

The pandemic has forever changed the software industry. Inevitably, the interview process has been adapted…
