Static code analysis is an important tool to ensure a project meets the right code standards and quality. In Elixir, the most popular package for this is Credo. Not only does it offer dozens of pre-made checks, but it also allows you to create your own. In this article, we will walk you through creating a Credo check. We will see how to write the code, enable the check in the Credo config, and make it nice to use. Let’s start!
If a web application involves users, as a matter of course, their data should be protected and secured. Securing a web application can mean several things. In this post, we'll discuss a subset of web security that involves authentication using JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) and the Ruby on Rails web application framework. Let's get started!
Automation testing has become a fundamental part of web development, and Playwright has emerged as one of the most powerful end-to-end testing tools. Thanks to its robust API and multi-browser support, it's easy to test sites and web apps. At the same time, Playwright can present some challenges if not approached correctly. Several pitfalls can compromise the effectiveness and performance of your tests, potentially leading to inaccurate results.
Mongoose is Object Data Modeling (ODM) for MongoDB. It represents application data as JavaScript objects, mapped to the underlying MongoDB database. You can use Mongoose to model data, enforce schemas, validate models, and manipulate data in a database without familiarity with the underlying database semantics. In this tutorial, you will build an Express server with Mongoose that serves a RESTful API. Let's get started!
In this series, we've seen how to create GraphQL APIs in Elixir using Absinthe. So far, we have only discussed a one-way communication channel where the client makes the queries or mutations, and the server responds. GraphQL also supports a long-running subscription between the client and the server where the server can notify the client of events. This can be very useful in multi-user scenarios where many users might interact with the same resource at the same time.
In part one of this series, we introduced Devise using an example app to explore modules, helpers, views, controllers, and routes. In this part, we'll explore more advanced usages of Devise, specifically the use of OmniAuth, API authentication, and Authtrail. Let's dive straight in!
In part one of this series, we introduced the core generated components when bootstrapping a new Phoenix project. We used a button and a modal from the core components to lay the groundwork for a "create modal". In this post, we will put a form onto the modal and create pets. Let's get started! Note: As in the last post, you can follow along with our companion repo.
