Event Loop: Promises and Microtasks As I progressed, I encountered promises and learned how they interact with the event loop, adding a new layer of complexity. Here’s a more advanced example: console.log("Start"); setTimeout(() => { console.log("Timeout"); }, 0); Promise.resolve().then(() => { console.log("Promise"); }); console.log("End"); Expected output: Start End Promise Timeout Why is Promise logged before Timeout, even though both are asynchronous? Turns out, promises are handled in the microtask queue, which has higher priority than the macrotask queue where setTimeout resides. This means microtasks (like promises) will always be processed before macrotasks, even if the macrotask has no delay. This was a game-changer for me in writing asynchronous code because it gave me a deeper understanding of how tasks are prioritized in the event loop. Now, when I use promises, I have a much better understanding of how they’ll fit into the flow of my code. Have you explored promises and microtasks in Node.js? Share your experience! #NodeJS #JavaScript #EventLoop #Microtasks #AsyncProgramming

🚀 Day 207 of #300DaysOfCode Let's dive into Redux-Saga vs Redux-Thunk for managing side effects in Redux! Redux-Saga: - Redux-Saga is a middleware library for Redux that enables the use of side effects like asynchronous actions, data fetching, and more. - It leverages ES6 generator functions to manage asynchronous flows and coordinate complex side effects in a synchronous-like manner. - Redux-Saga allows developers to write more readable and testable code by separating side effects from the main application logic. - It provides powerful features like cancellation, concurrency, and composability, making it suitable for handling complex asynchronous tasks in Redux applications. Redux-Thunk: - Redux-Thunk is another middleware library for Redux, but it takes a simpler approach to managing asynchronous actions. - With Redux-Thunk, action creators can return functions instead of plain objects, allowing for delayed execution of logic and side effects. - It is lightweight and easy to integrate, making it a popular choice for simple asynchronous tasks like fetching data from an API. - Redux-Thunk is suitable for applications with less complex asynchronous requirements and offers a straightforward approach to handling side effects in Redux. 💡 Key Differences: - Redux-Saga uses generator functions and provides advanced features for managing complex asynchronous flows. - Redux-Thunk offers a simpler approach by allowing action creators to return functions and is ideal for handling basic asynchronous tasks. Choose Redux-Saga for applications with complex asynchronous requirements and advanced side effect management. Opt for Redux-Thunk for simpler asynchronous tasks and straightforward integration with Redux. #day207 #learningoftheday #300daysofcodingchallenge #javascript #react #nextjs #webdevelopment #frontenddevelopment #codingtips #codingchallenge #codingcommunity #reduxsaga #reduxthunk #saga #thunk #redux #reduxtoolkit #statemanagement

💡 TypeScript Hack: Why includes Doesn't Work With Objects 💡 Ever tried to check if an object is in an array using includes in TypeScript? Surprise—it doesn't work as you might think! 😅 Consider this example: const obj1 = { id: 1 }; const arrayObjs = [{ id: 1 }]; console.log(arrayObjs.includes(obj1)); // returns false ❌ But why? 🤔 includes checks memory reference—not content—meaning obj1 and the object in arrayObjs aren’t considered equal because they live in separate memory spaces in the heap. To check if an object is inside an array of objects, try these two TypeScript pro tips instead: 1. some Method ✅ (Returns a boolean value) arrayObjs.some((obj) => obj.id === obj1.id); // true or false based on matching 2. find Method 🔍 (Returns the object itself if found, otherwise returns undefined) arrayObjs.find((obj) => obj.id === obj1.id); // returns the object or undefined 🚀 Pro Tip for Hotfixes: Keep your TypeScript basics solid and avoid sneaky bugs in your code! #TypeScriptTips #DeveloperTips #TypeScriptBasics #FrontendDev #SoftwareEngineering

Hello everyone, In the past, I worked for a company named Coderthemes LLP, which develops themes, (which other devs purchase from ThemeForest, bootstrap or MUI Market) So what we basically did was develop themes in React+Typescript and sell it on Marketplace. At some point in time, I introduced a new Idea to my Boss, that we can sell Javascript version too after removing types, he liked the idea and told me to go ahead with it, so initially we manually renamed files, manually removed types and sometimes by copying and pasting the code of each file to transform.tools but even transform.tools sometimes had issues in converting. I often look for ways to automate my tasks, hence I wrote a script to automate renaming all .tsx and .ts files to .jsx and .js. But removing types manually was a tedious and time consuming process, and often led to errors. I knew the command tsc converts Typescript to Javascript, but that removed structure of the code, and after converting with tsc, you can't call your code as React/Nextjs code anymore. I was curious on automating the removal of types, hence after going home from work, I developed a script in about 4 hours, and published it on npmjs as a CLI, The plugin is called super-detype. Now with the help of super-detype, I and my colleagues now were able to convert whole Typescript projects to Javascript in the matter of seconds or even miliseconds. Link to super-detype: https://lnkd.in/dDVE_rgy Now I am the sole maintainer of the plugin, I often add new features and look for improvements in the code and publish an update. I am looking forward to add feature to convert Vue's Typescript project to Javascript, But well, that's the thing for the future in my free time. Thank you everyone for taking time and reading. Developers please take some time and test out my plugin, and also give it a STAR on Github to appreciate my open-source work, it makes me want to contribute to open-source more.

🔄 Understanding the libuv Event Loop Flow in Node.js 🔄 If you’ve ever wondered how #NodeJS manages non-blocking, asynchronous operations in a single thread, it’s all thanks to libuv’s event loop! 🚀 Here’s a quick breakdown of how the event loop works in Node.js: 1️⃣ Timers Phase: Executes setTimeout() and setInterval() callbacks when their delay has passed. 2️⃣ I/O Callbacks: Handles I/O operations (like file reads or network requests) once they complete. 3️⃣ Poll Phase: The core of the loop – waits for I/O events or timers to become ready, potentially sleeping if there’s nothing to process. 4️⃣ Check Phase: Executes setImmediate() callbacks, ensuring they run after I/O tasks. 5️⃣ Close Callbacks: Cleans up resources for closed connections or file descriptors. This process repeats, allowing Node.js to handle multiple tasks efficiently without blocking the thread. The magic behind Node.js’s scalability and asynchronous power lies in libuv – ensuring high performance with minimal resource usage! ⚡ #JavaScript #NodeJS #EventLoop #libuv #BackendDevelopment #AsyncProgramming

Understanding the Heartbeat of Node.js: The Event Loop Hey everyone! Let's break down a core concept in Node.js that keeps our back-end operations humming: the Event Loop! Think of the Event Loop as Node.js's conductor, orchestrating the flow of tasks to keep our applications responsive and efficient. It's what allows Node.js to handle multiple tasks simultaneously without getting tangled up. Here's the deal: When we fire off tasks in Node.js, like fetching data from a database or processing requests, they join a lineup in the Event Loop. Node.js juggles these tasks, checking back on them periodically to see if they're done – all while keeping things moving smoothly. The beauty of the Event Loop? It's what enables us to build scalable, high-performance applications that can handle heavy traffic with ease. Understanding how it works is like having a secret weapon in your back-end development arsenal! And the role of C++ in the event loop of Node.js is to handle low-level operations and optimize performance by executing asynchronous tasks efficiently. For a deeper understanding look at the Photo below .. Share your thoughts on the Event Loop below, and let's keep the conversation flowing. #NodeJS #EventLoop #BackEndDevelopment #AsynchronousProgramming #DeveloperCommunity #TechTalk #CodeOptimization #JavaScriptMagic

⚡ Special Cases: process.nextTick(): Always prioritized and executed before the next event loop phase begins. This allows immediate execution of code, even ahead of I/O tasks. Promise Callbacks (Microtasks): Promises have their own queue and are handled after the current phase completes but before the event loop moves on to the next phase. This ensures microtasks like .then() callbacks are always processed quickly. These mechanisms ensure that Node.js handles multiple tasks efficiently without blocking the thread, balancing between macrotasks (I/O, timers) and microtasks (Promises). The magic behind Node.js’s scalability and asynchronous power lies in libuv, making high-performance applications a breeze! ⚡ #JavaScript #NodeJS #EventLoop #libuv #BackendDevelopment #AsyncProgramming

Introducing the new CLI. Easily import hooks from the CLI into your project. Initialize once, configure your hooks directory. At first, the CLI has support for React and frameworks such as Next.js. By initializing the configuration, we'll add a new file called rehooks.json into the root of your project. This file specifies the directory where your hooks will be imported. try out: npx rehooks-cli@latest init And finally, it’s time to add hooks directly to your specified directory with just a simple command! Say goodbye to manual imports and streamline your workflow effortlessly. try out: npx rehooks-cli@latest add Check out the docs for more information: https://rehooks.pyr33x.ir
