Find more inspiration from these repositories — While we write code for web applications we are constantly trying to make good decisions. It’s not always an easy task especially when our code becomes larger over time. Fortunately there are some techniques we can incorporate into our code to solve complex issues. They’re called design patterns. This post…

Use the MutationObserver to observe your users — In modern programming, there is plenty of discussion about what is known as state, which most commonly revolves around user interactivity. The MutationObserver is a powerful API that can help us with this because we can use it to react to user interactivity. It is what replaced the legacy Mutation…

Run a chain of functions that do stuff — Knowing design patterns is vital in the software industry, as they have been proven to solve real-life problems in business applications. For example, Publish/Subscribe is a common pattern that is extensively used in the DOM. The Command pattern is used in Redux, which boomed in a short period of time…

With examples to help you implement it — Have you ever come across code where some function was suffixed with Adapter? Chances are that you were reading code incorporating compatibility in behavior between two interfaces using the Adapter pattern. This article will go over the Adapter pattern in JavaScript and explain why the pattern is important and why…

Logging can make the difference — Without some sort of logging mechanism applied to our applications it becomes extremely difficult to debug various bugs as developers. Logs can capture any exact point in time in our code and output useful stack traces or information on the current state of our app life cycle which can be…

tsup is powered by esbuild — It’s a great time to be a developer, especially for JavaScript. The JavaScript ecosystem is both huge and exciting, and open source projects are constantly evolving with innovative tools one after the other. We have libraries like react for developing complex user interfaces, frameworks like next for building server-side rendered…

Commandification — JavaScript is a popular language known for its flexibility. Thanks to this, it makes patterns like the command pattern easier to implement in our apps. When a design pattern goes well hand-in-hand with the state pattern, it’s arguably the command pattern. If you’ve read one of my previous blog posts…

4 valuable interview tips that JavaScript developers should keep in mind during their job interviews. — In this post, I will share 4 valuable JavaScript interview tips that JavaScript developers should keep in mind in their interview process. Some of these tips were actually from personal experience when I was applying for positions, and some were taken from times when I was the one interviewing candidates.

Ensure that you await for these useful tips too — Asynchronous programming in JavaScript has long been a challenge for us developers. The problem is that it’s difficult to write asynchronous code. Before Promises made it into the scene, the callback pattern was the most efficient way to write asynchronous code. However, this pattern still suffered from unmaintainable code like…
