Learn 11ty, Tweenlite and Tweenmax

Eleventy was created to be a JavaScript alternative to Jekyll. It’s zero-config by default but has flexible configuration options. Eleventy works with your project’s existing directory structure.

Eleventy uses independent template engines. We don’t want to hold your content hostage. If you decide to use something else later, having your content decoupled in this way will make migration easier.

11ty

Our Twitch Scenes will use the static site generator Eleventy (11ty) to leverage templating features for creating the scenes. This lesson covers the base project which is available in the project repo under `/lessons/00-base`.

This lesson includes templating for the stream details and initial styling of the details section within the scene layout. The primary templating language in use is [Nunjucks](https://mozilla.github.io/nunjucks/templating.html).

Learn how to test custom ESLint rules with Vitest and RuleTester.

In the [previous video](https://egghead.io/set-up-a-custom-es-lint-rule~kq49h), we created a custom eslint rule that gives us a warning when some of the class names don’t start with a lowercase letter.

Here, I'll show you how to test this or any other custom ESLint rule using unit tests without manually restarting the ESLint server or modifying production code to check if the rules work correctly. We'll look at the structure in which correct and incorrect code samples should be specific to RuleTester.

We'll also learn how to make our rule fixable and verify that the applied fix works as expected.

Install `ghx` with `npm i -g @johnlindquist/ghx`

You've copied and pasted code, set up your project, and... *error*.  "Stream is not readable."  Sound familiar?  Generic Google searches and outdated Stack Overflow answers often leave you more confused than when you started.  You need more than just documentation; you need *context*.  You need to see how real developers solve this *exact* problem.

This lesson shows you a better way to debug, using real-world GitHub examples and the power of Cursor's Composer.

Here's the workflow we'll cover:

1.  **Identify the Error:** You've already done this!  You have a specific error message ("Stream is not readable") and the code that's causing it.
2.  **Find Real-World Solutions with `ghx`:** We'll use `ghx`, a tool for searching GitHub, to find *actual projects* that have encountered (and solved!) this same issue.  No more generic advice – you'll see working code.
3.  **Consolidate and Analyze:**  `ghx` brings those relevant code snippets into a single, easy-to-read file.
4.  **Leverage Cursor's Composer:** We'll use Cursor's Composer to directly interact with the examples and your problematic code.  Paste in your error, reference the `ghx`-generated file, and ask targeted questions like:
    *   "Based on these examples, how should I modify my code to fix the 'stream is not readable' error?"
    *   "What's the common cause of this error in the context of an MCP server?"
    *   "Show me the specific lines in the examples that handle stream readability correctly."
5. **Fix the Error:** Implement the solution using this workflow.

Instead of guessing, you'll learn directly from proven solutions.  You'll gain a deeper understanding of your issue and how to troubleshoot it effectively.  This approach transforms debugging from a frustrating hunt into a targeted learning experience.

Fix Real-World Coding Errors with GitHub Context through ghx and Cursor Composer

AI is amazing for generating code, but often leaves us staring at functions and libraries we've never seen before. This creates a huge problem: When things break (and they will break), we're lost. We don't understand the individual pieces, let alone how they interact. Knowing one part isn't enough; we need to see how unfamiliar components work together.

The solution? Real-world examples.

This lesson introduces ghx, a tool I built to do exactly that. ghx searches GitHub, finding actual code examples that use the specific combinations of functions and libraries that are tripping you up. Instead of generic documentation, you get concrete implementations. You can find the ghx repository at https://github.com/johnlindquist/ghx.

Here's the workflow we cover:

Identify the Unknown: Pinpoint the AI-generated code you don't understand – specific functions, libraries, or their interactions.

Search with ghx: Use ghx to search GitHub for examples using those terms together. ghx finds repos where those elements co-exist.

Consolidate Examples: ghx combines the relevant code snippets from those examples into a single, digestible file.

Ask the AI (Again, but Better!): Feed this consolidated code to an AI (like a coding-focused model in an AI studio). Now, instead of asking general questions, you can ask targeted questions based on real-world usage:

"Explain how these functions are used together in these examples."

"What are some common use cases for this combination of libraries?"

"Show me alternative code snippets that achieve the same result."

"Can you identify potential problems or areas for improvement, based on these examples?"

Iterate. Use your improved understanding to make changes, and then repeat the process to debug.

By leveraging ghx and targeted AI prompting, we transform from being lost in a sea of unfamiliar code to actively learning from how others have solved similar problems. We gain a deeper understanding of our AI-generated codebase, making debugging, modification, and future development far more manageable. This gives you the tools to understand, debug and improve your own code.

How to Work with AI-Generated Code You Don't Understand with ghx and Gemini

In this less we create a custom Zod schema using `z.custom`.

The example case covers room numbers validation: it must start with an uppercase letter followed by three digits. `z.custom` allows the creation of a brand new custom schema with a callback function that returns a boolean indicating validity.

We highlight a challenge with type inference in Zod's custom schemas: callback parameter types don't get aligned automatically - type-safety must be explicitly defined using type parameters.

We run tests against various room numbers and demonstrate how to effectively validate inputs and manage error messages.


Create Custom Zod Schemas and Validate project-specific data

Create custom validation logic in Zod using z.custom, for primitive values, ensuring type safety and proper error messages for room numbers.


Excessive properties refer to any additional attributes that are not explicitly listed in an object schema. When creating an object based on a schema, it is important to ensure that only the defined properties are included.

In TypeScript, if an object is created with an extra property that isn't defined in the schema, TypeScript will not raise an error unless the type is explicitly annotated. When the type is annotated, TypeScript will issue an error indicating that the extra property is not allowed.

Zod provides a strict utility to enforce similar checks. This feature ensures that only specified properties are allowed in an object schema. When unnecessary properties are added at both the top level and within nested schemas, Zod will throw errors indicating unrecognized keys.

Adding an unrecognized property to a Zod schema results in an error message that specifies which keys are not recognized. Applying strict checks on nested schemas ensures that all levels of the data structure are validated correctly.


Make Excessive Object Properties Fail on Zod Validation

Prevent excessive properties in TypeScript and Zod schemas using strict checks for better data validation

In this lesson we discuss how Zod works with TypeScript to handle special types like `undefined`, `null`, `any`, `unknown`, `never` and `void`.

We modify our room booking schema to demonstrate the use of `optional` and `nullable` Zod utilities.

By using `.optional`, we allow a property to be either its _original type_ or `undefined`. With `.nullable`, we allow it to be either its _original type_ or `null`. Finally, `.nullish` allows a value to be either its _original type_, `null`, or `undefined`.

For all cases, we run tests to show how these schemas work in practice, as well as how TypeScript infers types.


Declare Lack of Value in zod (optional, nullable and nullish)

use Zod for TypeScript schemas, including handling undefined, null, and special types like optional and nullable values, as well as any, unknown never and void

In this lesson we make use of partial validation of large and nested schemas in Zod.

Instead of creating many small schemas, which can complicate maintenance, Zod allows for the extraction of specific parts of a schema using the concept of ".shape". It "unwraps" the object schema, enabling access to sub-schemas within specific properties.

Additionally, we can use the `.unwrap` to get into element schemas of altered schemas such as `.optional` or `.array`.

Simplify working with complex schemas without the need to break them into hundreds of small schemas.

Use Zod Schemas partially using shape and unwrap

Manage large and nested Zod Schemas by extracting partial validations using shape and unwrap utilities

In this lesson we cover implementing sets and maps in Zod.

Using `z.set`, a schema for string-based amenities is created. We demonstrate how validation works by intentionally introducing errors and customizing error messages for better clarity.

Next, a map is created for existing guestDetails schema using `z.map`, with string keys and an existing `z.object`-based schema. The validation process is shown again by deliberately breaking the schema, such as omitting the age property, which triggers appropriate error messages.

Use sets and maps in Zod for schema validation, ensuring type safety for both keys and values.
