Sorry if that title seemed stupid. The super serious title would be “Creating a REST API in Rust using Rocket and Diesel”, but that’s boring. Anyway… Here I go with my first post that fully focuses on Rust. After spending a few months doing a bit here and there I decided to just dive right in as I was going ...

I try to be disciplined in writing tests, but it’s usually not long before something gets in the way. Integration-testing interdependent APIs, verifying unusual server configurations, and seeding complex data make testing large applications tough. While plenty of solutions exist, I have found myself leaning on Docker more and more in the past year. Why Docker for Testing? If you ...

When developing web apps in Visual Studio Code, I find myself using the built-in debugger to conveniently launch my web application in Chrome. Initially I was using the following launch.json configuration to launch Chrome and the debugger: "configurations": [ { "type": "chrome", "request": "launch", "name": "Launch Chrome", "url": "http://localhost:4200/home", "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}/src" } ] This launch configuration works pretty well. It ...

WebRTC is an amazing and rather ground-breaking technology pioneered by those geniuses at Google. Enabling plugin-free connectivity between browsers, the typical application for WebRTC is that of video chat applications. However, WebRTC is not just for audio and video; it’s also capable of transmitting other high-speed data. In short, envision a future of peer-to-peer gaming, file transfer, and other true ...

One of the newer things that Rails 5+ provides is system tests. This gives us a full frontend testing experience with Capybara, which runs each of our tests through a real browser window to perfectly provide what a normal web user would experience. Having this baked in to Rails makes for an elegant way to get started and hit the ...

Introduction Working with JSON is almost inevitable regardless of the environment. In this post, we will go through different ways of serializing/deserializing (or encoding/decoding as some may call it) objects from/to JSON in Scala.js. As of the date this post is written, there are three main tools that convert objects to/from JSON: uPickle Circe scalajs-dom (using JSON.stringify() and parse()) We ...
