I learnt how to make a script to kill a port (to stop a localhost server) by calling an npm command that runs a js file that runs a PowerShell script. Works like magic.

It was my first time touching a PowerShell script so this gave me extra points :D

This week I learned more about the Net Core Request Pipeline.
Especially, that when using a controller with non default ActionResult return type, like for example BadRequest(), that these ActionResults will get wrapped in another ActionResult, which makes unit testing kind of tedious. E.g.:

        // controller method
        [Route("{id:int}")]
        [HttpGet]
        [ProducesResponseType(StatusCodes.Status200OK)]
        [ProducesResponseType(StatusCodes.Status404NotFound)]
        public async Task<ActionResult<Author>> GetOneById(int id)
        {
            Author result = await _authorService.GetById(id);

            if (result != null)
            {
                return result;
            }
            else
            {
                return NotFound();
            }
        }

        // tests
        [Fact(DisplayName = "Should return correct author by id")]
        public async Task Should_Return_Author_By_Id()
        {
            // arrange
            var expected = fixture.authorList.Where(author => author.Id == 1).FirstOrDefault();

            // act
            var result = await controller.GetOneById(1);

            // assert
            Assert.IsType<ActionResult<Author>>(result);
            Assert.Equal(expected, result.Value); // Using Value since ReturnType is ActionResult<Author>, so we need to access the value
        }

        [Fact(DisplayName = "Should return NotFound()")]
        public async Task Should_Return_Author_NotFound()
        {
            // act
            var result = await controller.GetOneById(999);

            // assert
            Assert.Null(result.Value);
            Assert.IsType<ActionResult<Author>>(result); // check method return type matches
            Assert.IsType<NotFoundResult>(result.Result); // check actual return is as expected
        }

I've learned about the Nuxt.js framework, how to integrate Bulma with Nuxt, how to route static pages, and using HTML/CSS for fluidly!

I've learned about Chakra UI. Also learned this week that UI Fabric decreases my productivity, so I will be better away from it. Last but not least, learned how to integrate Remote Func with Next.js

Got some time to clean up my bash prompt by adding a random emoji to it. This was way more fun that I thought it would be.. (also there’s a bug here that’s fixed in a follow up commit 😅)

Finally understood a lot on react and got my hands dirty with it. Hoping to learn more and go down further

That I am more versatile than I think I am.

I learnt to incorporate different React Native libs with each other + with React Hooks!
Also learnt a bit of GraphQL for making a schema for a custom api :)

Developed an application on Springboot. Exposed rest end points. Created automated tests using Postman. It was a fun excercise.

I've learned about writing example tests on Golang, to show the code on godoc.
I also learned how to deploy an application on GCP App Engine. :D
