Today, I am happy to announce that part 12 of my Introduction To GitHub Actions course is now available and can be watched on YouTube here: Conclusion.
In a few previous posts, I talked about Plopjs and how you can use this amazing generator to increase your productivity. Today, I am happy to announce that I released a video version of this content, can you can watch that video on YouTube here: Developer Bytes - Generating Templates With Plopjs.
One of the tools that I have found extremely useful and easy to use while developing against another API is called MockServer . MockServer is tool that will allow you to create a local server that will respond to requests and take actions based on the configuration that you provide. This is really useful for when you want to mock the API responses that would be returned from various API calls. To use this tool, you need to provide a json file that contains the expectations you would like the service to take action on.
Update: If you would prefer to watch a video on this content, you can see the content here on YouTube: Developer Bytes - Generating Templates With Plopjs.
For the first Developer Bytes article, I wanted to share with everyone a tool that I have found extremely useful and easy to use called Plop . Plop is a micro-generator framework that can be used for generating new files in a consistent manner using templates you define. This simple tool gives you a way to generate code or any type of file, by running a simple console command.
It has been quite some time since I released new content on my blog, and it is something that I have been wanting to devote more time to. Between working a full time job, finishing up my Masters Degree, being a father, and the craziness of the past two years with Covid and isolating, it has been a very challenging and interesting time.
In order to start producing more content on a regular basis, I decided to try out a new type of content post: developer bytes. The goal of these posts are to share tips and tools that I use in my day to day work. These articles are meant to be smaller in scope with a focus on something that is meaningful, with the option to always expand on that topic either via comments or with dedicated posts that explore that topic further.
