Learn Chrome, Faunadb and Nightmare

Optional chaining ?. in javascript is a new feature introduced in ES2020. Optional chaining changes the way properties are accessed from deeply nested objects. It fixes the problem of having to do multiple null checks when accessing long chain of object properties in javascript.

JavaScript® (often shortened to JS) is a lightweight, interpreted, object-oriented language with first-class functions, most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic, and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.

This application serves as an introduction to building products with a JAMStack and Serverless approach. We cover everything from the beginning:

* starting with the Gatsby client
* handling authentication with Netlify Identity
* Shipping a GraphQL server on Netlify Functions
* Building in access control with a serverless capable database

It uses tools that remove as many of the barriers as possible while also allowing upgrading in the future. Netlify Functions can grow into AWS Lambda, Netlify Identity can grow into Auth0 or Cognito, and FaunaDB can grow into DynamoDB.

Gatsby is a blazing fast static site generator built with React. Gatsby gives you all of the modern JavaScript tools you want; set up and ready to go out of the box.

Building a Serverless JAMStack Todo app with Netlify, Gatsby, GraphQL, and FaunaDB

This collection is a sequel to the [Building a Serverless JAMStack Todo app with Netlify, Gatsby, GraphQL, and FaunaDB](https://egghead.io/playlists/building-a-serverless-jamstack-todo-app-with-netlify-gatsby-graphql-and-faunadb-53bb) collection. In this collection we take the TODO application we built and convert it to run using Netlify Identity, AWS Lambda (using the serverless framework) and DynamoDB. We cover

* Fauna vs DynamoDB and when to use each
* Setting up AWS accounts
* Creating DynamoDB tables and data modeling differences between Fauna and Dynamo
* Converting our Netlify Functions deployment to a Serverless Framework deployment
* Implementing Custom authorizer functions on AWS

It uses tools that remove as many of the barriers as possible. Netlify Functions grows into Serverless Framework adn AWS Lambda, Netlify Identity is kept around, and FaunaDB can grows into DynamoDB.



FaunaDB is a global serverless database that gives you ubiquitous, low latency access to app data, without sacrificing data correctness. It eliminates layers of app code for manually handling data anomalies, security, and scale, creating a friendlier dev experience for you and better app experience for your users.

Chrome DevTools are incredibly useful for a frontend developer, sometimes we spend more time using them than our text editor of choice.

That's why it's so important to understand this tool better - those quick lessons will teach you things that will help you to become a more effective developer.

You will learn how to:

- **Use (experimental) CSS Overview to learn all about CSS used on a page in a minute**
- **Style console.log messages with CSS** - a _crucial_ skill for any senior developer (j/k)
- **Debug your code (on production and local environment) with logpoints**
- **Run a Lighthouse audit of your site**
- **Choose accessible colors for your website that have an AAA contrast ratio rating**
- **Force a DOM element state in Chrome DevTools**
- **Use Console utilities to make debugging easier**
- **Copy a network request as fetch or cURL with Chrome DevTools**

Have fun!

The Chrome Developer Tools (DevTools for short), are a set of web authoring and debugging tools built into Google Chrome.

The Complete Guide to FaunaDB

In this course we’ll take a deep look at the Elements panel in the chrome devtools. We’ll step through each button and tab on this panel and discuss how to use them to interact with your web application as it runs.

Debug the DOM in Chrome with the Devtools Elements Panel

This course examines the Sources panel in the Chrome DevTools, which allows you to see what files are responsible for the various things on the screen. Bundled into this panel, though, is the single most useful tool for any JavaScript developer - the JavaScript Debugger. We’ll use the Debugger to inspect JavaScript as it runs, allowing you to watch (and even interact with) the state of your application as it runs in ways that’ll blow your mind if you’ve mostly used console.log to debug your applications to this point. 

Debug JavaScript in Chrome with DevTool Sources

This course will examine the Network panel in Chrome DevTools. We’ll step through the request log, examining the various properties exposed. We’ll talk about timing, filtering, throttling and generally using the network panel to better understand the ways in which our applications exist within a connected context.

FaunaDB is a Calvin inspired hosted database marketed towards JAMStack and serverless users. It is geo-replicated across multiple providers (AWS, GCP, and soon Azure), uses a lambda calculus based query language (FQL) or the built-in GraphQL support, and is quick to get started with. Don't worry about the vocabulary here (Consistency, lambda calculus, etc), FaunaDB can be quickly put to work without reading any papers and without knowing what lambda calculus is.

An Introduction to FaunaDB

FQL is the main query language for interacting with FaunaDB. It supports all JSON types, plus some additional types like Ref, Date, and Set. FQL is based in expressions and as such everything returns a value. This makes it easy to compose logic into larger queries.

Code shown in the shell:

```
Match(Index("all_customers"))
```

Overview of the FaunaDB Query Language

When working with FQL it's often the case that you'll encounter `Ref`s. `Ref`s don't have any fields on them though! So how do we access the fields? `Get`.

```
Collections()
```

```
Collection("customers")
```

```
Ref(Collection("customers"), "244075679454331401")
```

```
Get(Ref(Collection("customers"), "244075679454331401"))
```

```
Get(Collection("customers"))
```



Refs and Get in FaunaDB

FQL Page objects have additional fields like `before`, and `data`, that may make it seem like you need to `Select` to get at the underlying array of results. However, FQL supports passing Page objects directly to functions that operate on arrays and the function will transparently operate on the contained `data` field.

```
Paginate(Match(Index("all_customers")))
```

```
Drop(1, Paginate(Match(Index("all_customers"))))
```

```
Take(1, Paginate(Match(Index("all_customers"))))
```

FQL Page objects can be arguments to array functions

`Ref`s are opaque. To access the fields on a document associated with a Ref, we first need to run `Get` on our results and then we can access fields using `Select`

```
Map(
  Paginate(Match(Index("all_customers"))),
  Lambda("X", Get(Var("X")))
)
```

```
Map(
  Paginate(Match(Index("all_customers"))),
  Lambda("X", Select(["data", "firstName"], Get(Var("X"))))
)
```

Accessing fields through Refs with Select

We walk through creating a new Database in the FaunaDB console complete with some demo data. We do some exploration of the data, introducing concepts like Collections and Indexes, before showing an example FQL query that runs against the database. This sets us up to talk about FQL in future videos

Creating your first FaunaDB database

Overview of the FaunaDB Query Language (FQL)

When working with FQL it's often the case that you'll encounter Refs. Refs don't have any fields on them though! So how do we access the fields? Get.

```
Collections()
```

```
Collection("customers")
```

```
Ref(Collection("customers"), "244075679454331401")
```

```
Get(Ref(Collection("customers"), "244075679454331401"))
```

```
Get(Collection("customers"))
```

Getting fields out of Refs with Get

FQL Page objects have additional fields like before, and data, that may make it seem like you need to Select to get at the underlying array of results. However, FQL supports passing Page objects directly to functions that operate on arrays and the function will transparently operate on the contained data field.

```
Paginate(Match(Index("all_customers")))
```

```
Drop(1, Paginate(Match(Index("all_customers"))))
```

```
Take(1, Paginate(Match(Index("all_customers"))))
```
