For fans of Redux and Typescript like myself, the release of Redux 4 was a highly anticipated event, and it did not disappoint. The new enhanced typing definitions help to provide a nice and strongly typed Redux setup, minimizing the number of runtime errors. This article will give you a different perspective on the many ways you can structure the app.
When it comes to unit testing, business logic is considered the most valuable area of your code to test because if there is an error, heads will roll 😵. This was apparent on a React Native project I recently worked on that had plenty of unit tests for the Redux part of the app - reducers, sagas, and selectors, but the overall code coverage was not great 🤔. There was a lot of presentation logic and components that were not covered. So when I joined, the goal was to bring the overall coverage up by unit testing 👨🏼💻the remaining code.
In 2015 Rangle introduced Augury, what is now the most used tool for debugging, profiling, and inspecting Angular applications with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers. Augury helps you to visualize what's going on behind the scenes without having to sift through source code. In this post, I’ll explain why our team is passionate about Augury and give you the first sneak peek at our new tool, Performance Profiler.
Building a React Native app is often a painful process since signing, and building apps manually is too frustrating. So, what if I told you that you could easily set up builds and signing that would happen automatically? Not only that, but you could also run automated tests similar to how typical CI/CD pipelines work. Sound too good to be true? I’ll show you how it’s done using Visual Studio App Center.
Diversity and inclusion have long been at the forefront of Rangle’s mission and culture. We do our best to reflect this in our day to day practices. While it’s not a perfect science, we believe it’s important to keep working towards an environment where everyone feels confident and welcome. That’s why for our NewCo Open House we let a wide range of Ranglers share what their experience has been like since joining. With that being said, we’ll let them speak for themselves:
In this article I'll explain what functional CSS is, show you how it compares to traditional CSS, and demonstrate how you can simplify styling by using functional CSS!
How you manage the state of your application is important, and libraries such as redux and ngrx have been widely adopted in the JavaScript community for this task. Even though state management has come a long way, most people will quickly notice common patterns being repeated in their reducers and start to cry foul over the boilerplate that seems to be required. This was something I noticed too, but I started to adopt a pattern of Higher Order Reducers to help abstract away the repetition.
Everything on the Internet whether it be application code or content needs to be fetched from a server somewhere. So with 'going serverless' being the latest trend, you may be asking yourself how you can have an application that is completely serverless. The main difference with serverless is that the management and operations of the infrastructure are abstracted. This abstraction allows developers to focus on development and building apps that deliver value to the end users faster. This way, you don’t have to deal with the fuss of managing, maintaining, scaling, or provisioning servers. That’s where hosting in Azure Storage comes in.
