Learn Cloudflare, Css and Wordpress

Bootstrap is an incredibly popular CSS framework designed to make your website look great on mobile and desktop.

By the end of this course, you'll be familiar with many of the popular classes and components that Bootstrap uses to apply in your own projects.

For each feature you build in the course, you'll get a sense for what the relevant classes do for those components and links to documentation for further exploration.

For the course demo application, we will analyze the landing pages of Microsoft and Apple to identify common components that are implemented. When these are identified, you'll implement these components yourself with Bootstrap.

You'll build several common UI elements such as a nav bar, a carousel of images, Cards, and Forms.

Through building these components, you'll understand what is behind the different classes Bootstrap gives you and get familiar with how it exposes flex and grid layout for you.

Cascading Style Sheets bring order and beauty to our applications.

Supabase Function Hooks allow us to subscribe to change events in the database - such as `insert`, `update` and `delete` - and make a HTTP request with the changed data.

In this lesson, we refactor our `revalidate` route to handle inserts, updates and deletes.

Additionally, we create a Function Hook to subscribe to all change events on the `articles` table, and automatically send a POST request to the `revalidate` route of our Cloudflare Worker.

This automatically refreshes the KV store anytime a value is changed in the database, and decouples the revalidation of our cache, from our user requesting data. This means, theoretically, users should never have to wait for a request to the Supabase origin server, as the cache is automatically populated, updated and cleared to remain in sync with the database.

## Code Snippets

**Update Revalidate route to handle insert, update and delete**

```javascript
router.post(
  "/revalidate",
  withContent,
  async (request, { SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_ANON_KEY, ARTICLES }) => {
    const { type, record, old_record } = request.content;
    const supabase = createClient(SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_ANON_KEY);

    if (type === "INSERT" || type === "UPDATE") {
      await writeTo(ARTICLES, `/articles/${record.id}`, record);
    }

    if (type === "DELETE") {
      await ARTICLES.delete(`/articles/${old_record.id}`);
    }

    const { data: articles } = await supabase.from("articles").select("*");
    await writeTo(ARTICLES, "/articles", articles);

    return json({ received: true });
  }
);
```

**Run wrangler development server**

```bash
npx wrangler dev
```

**Publish Cloudflare Worker with Wrangler CLI**

```bash
npx wrangler publish
```

Automatically revalidate KV Store cache on change with Database Webhooks in Supabase

Cache Busting or Invalidation, is the process of clearing stale data from a cache. After the first request, the response data from Supabase is cached in our KV store, and never fetched again. This means if data in the database changes, our KV store will never be updated.

In this lesson, we create a `revalidate` route, which fetches fresh data from Supabase and updates the cache.

## Code Snippets

**Revalidate cache for articles route**

```javascript
router.get(
  "/revalidate",
  async (request, { SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_ANON_KEY, ARTICLES }) => {
    const supabase = createClient(SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_ANON_KEY);
    const { data: articles } = await supabase.from("articles").select("*");
    await writeTo(ARTICLES, "/articles", articles);
    return json({ received: true });
  }
);
```

npx wrangler dev
```

Cache-busting with Cloudflare KV stores and Supabase

KV Storage is a read-optimized, eventually consistent cache that can be accessed from Cloudflare Workers. The interface for reading and writing is similar to `localStorage` in the browser.

In this lesson, we create a `read-kv` route for reading from the KV store. This automatically gets passed any KV stores that have been bound to the Cloudflare Worker. Initially, the store is empty, so returns the value `null`.

Additionally, we create a `write-kv` route to populate the store with test data.

To reduce the overhead of stringifying and parsing JSON objects, we create two helper functions to easily read and write values to any KV store.

Lastly, we publish a production version of our Cloudflare Worker, to confirm that writing these value locally - to our preview store - does not affect our production store.

## Code Snippets

**readFrom helper function**

```javascript
export const readFrom = async (cache, path) => {
  const data = await cache.get(path);
  return JSON.parse(data);
};
```

**writeTo helper function**

```javascript
export const writeTo = async (cache, path, data) => {
  await cache.put(path, JSON.stringify(data));
};
```

**Read KV route**

```javascript
router.get("/read-kv", async (request, { ARTICLES }) => {
  const articles = await readFrom(ARTICLES, "/articles");
  return json(articles);
});
```

**Write KV route**

```javascript
router.get("/write-kv", async (request, { ARTICLES }) => {
  const articles = [{ title: "test3" }, { title: "test4" }];
  await writeTo(ARTICLES, "/articles", articles);

  return json(articles);
});
```

**Publish Cloudflare Worker**

```bash
npx wrangler publish
```

**Run wrangler development server**

```bash
npx wrangler dev
```

Supabase is an open source Firebase alternative. A service to:

- Listen to database changes.
- Query your tables, including filtering, pagination, and deeply nested relationships (like GraphQL).
- Create, update, and delete rows.
- Manage your users and their permissions.
- Interact with your database using a simple UI.

Supabase is not a 1-to-1 mapping of Firebase. Most notably, Supabase uses Postgres rather than a NoSQL store.

Itty Router is a tiny router package that has a similar API to Express. In this video, we install Itty Router and the Extras packages.

Additionally, we refactor our existing worker to use the router, and declare a dynamic route to fetch a single article.

To handle paths and articles that don't exist, we add a catch all route that returns a 404 status.

Lastly, we use the `json` helper to automatically stringify JSON objects and set the `Content-Type` header for `application/json`.

## Code Snippets

**Install Itty Router and extras**

```bash
npm i itty-router itty-router-extras
```

**Run wrangler development server**

```bash
npx wrangler dev
```

**GET route for all articles**

```javascript
router.get(
  "/articles",
  async (request, { SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_ANON_KEY }) => {
    const supabase = createClient(SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_ANON_KEY);

    const { data } = await supabase.from("articles").select("*");
    return json(data);
  }
);
```

**GET route for one article**

```javascript
router.get(
  "/articles/:id",
  async (request, { SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_ANON_KEY }) => {
    const supabase = createClient(SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_ANON_KEY);
    const { id } = request.params;

    const { data } = await supabase
      .from("articles")
      .select("*")
      .match({ id })
      .single();

    if (!data) {
      return status(404, "Not found");
    }

    return json(data);
  }
);
```

**Catch all route for 404**

```javascript
router.all("*", () => status(404, "Not found"));
```

Proxy Supabase requests with Cloudflare Workers and Itty Router

Supabase JS is an NPM package which provides a simple interface from JavaScript to our Supabase project. It allows us to query and mutate data using its Object Relational Mapping (ORM) syntax, and subscribe to realtime events.

In this video, we install the Supabase JS package and create a new client using our project's URL and Anon Key. These can be found in the Supabase dashboard for our project, under `Settings > API`.

We store these values as secrets in our Cloudflare account, and use them to instantiate a new Supabase client.

Additionally, we write a query to select all of our articles from our Supabase instance, and send them back as the response from our Cloudflare Worker.

In order to send a JSON response, we first stringify the object we get back from Supabase, and then set a `Content-Type` header to notify the browser that this will be a type of `application/json`.

## Code Snippets

**Install Supabase JS**

```bash
npm i @supabase/supabase-js
```

**Create a Cloudflare secret**

```bash
npx wrangler secret put NAME
```

**Add a secret for SUPABASE_URL**

```bash
npx wrangler secret put SUPABASE_URL
```

**Run wrangler development server**

```bash
npx wrangler dev
```

**Add a secret for SUPABASE_ANON_KEY**

```bash
npx wrangler secret put SUPABASE_ANON_KEY
```

**Query data from Supabase**

```javascript
const { data } = await supabase.from("articles").select("*");
```

**Send JSON response**

```javascript
return new Response(JSON.stringify(data), {
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
});
```

Query Supabase from Cloudflare Worker

Cloudflare Workers are serverless functions that run at the Edge! 🔪

The Wrangler CLI is a tool for interfacing with your Cloudflare account, and creating or publishing your Workers.

In this video, we use the Wrangler CLI to log in to our Cloudflare account and authorize the `wrangler` command to make changes on our behalf.

Additionally, we create a worker and host it locally with the `npx wrangler dev` command. We then demonstrate making a GET request to our Cloudflare Worker from the browser, and confirm it is sending the correct response.

By modifying the response locally, we can see that changes are reflected any time we refresh the browser.

## Code Snippets

**Login to Cloudflare with Wrangler CLI**

```bash
npx wrangler login
```

**Create Cloudflare Worker**

```bash
npx wrangler init supabase-at-the-edge
```

**Run wrangler development server**

```bash
npx wrangler dev
```

Create a Cloudflare Worker with the Wrangler CLI

We've seen how to return easy and a little complex data from our KV, but how about in a real-world application? We are going to remove the code we have created and set up a simple HTML application that will return our data based on an API which we will create. 

Update Cloudflare Workers KVs Data from an API Route

Behind the scenes, I've updated the HTML UI and added in some helper JS functions to allow us to render new to-do's. We are going to start off by adding in the UI for a user to be able to input their own to-dos. Then we are going to work on creating a backend to store that data and retrieve it using our KV key of `"data"`. 

Filter Data with Cloudflare Workers KV Keys

Our application works but there is one major flaw. Everyone sees the same to-do's. To make to-do's user-specific, we are going to link users' data to their IP addresses so people only see to-dos based on their IP address. 

Identify Users in a Cloudflare Worker by IP to Serve User-specific Data

Now that we have our Workers project up and running, we need to create a KV namespace. A KV namespace is a key-value database that is replicated to Cloudflare's edge. Using the terminal, we will create our namespace and add it to our wrangler.toml file. 

Create a Cloudflare Workers KV Namespace

Creating a new workers project using Wrangler is pretty easy. We first will install and double-check that we have Wrangler installed. Then we will connect Wrangler to our cloudflare project. Lastly, using the terminal, we can easily create our new Wrangler project. 

Create a New Cloudflare Workers Project with Wrangler

We can store and retrieve our data from our KV but not the status of whether or not it's checked off. To do that, we create a function called `completeTodo` that will target the checkbox, find the todo based on its id, flips the boolean from false to true and saves that data, and then updates our to-dos. 

Edit Stored Data using the Cloudflare KV Key

We've learned how to write and receive data from our database, but we've only done it with fairly simple values. Now we are going to see how to do the same thing but with complex key values. There are two ways of doing this. One is the default route where we just return the value back from our KV. The second is where one route takes in a name parameter and sets it as the value for a key. The second path is the one we are going to look at in this lesson. 

Set Complex Key Values in a Cloudflare Workers KV Namespace

To access that data that we stored in our database, we use the .`get()` function. `.get()` is also an async function and we will need to `await` it. 

Read Data from Cloudflare Workers KV with BINDING.get 

Now that we have our database setup, we need to be able to write data to that database. Firstly, we need to understand the binding concept. Secondly, we are going to use `.put()` to write that data to our database. Remember that `.put()` is an async function so we need to `await` it for it to work in the way that we want it to. 

Write Data to Cloudflare Workers KV Store with BINDING.put

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.

We'll discuss the minimum set of files that are required to get up and running with Vue.

We'll add an `index.html` file as our entry point, a `main.js` file that will contain our JavaScript code and a `styles.css` that will contain all of our CSS. We also load Vue into our project with UNPKG which exposes the Vue object to us.

Set up the Minimum Files Needed to Run Vue 3

Using the open-source project ComfyJS, display a response to chat commands overlaid on the Twitch scenes. We'll use Eleventy templating to create a partial holding the initial command HTML. Then, using [the cicada principle](https://lea.verou.me/2020/07/the-cicada-principle-revisited-with-css-variables/), we'll enable visuals of each command word to appear in a seemingly random order across the scene. We'll use the `ComfyJS.onCommand` method to enable cloning the command template nodes and adding them as the commands are triggered through Twitch chat. CSS transitions will be used to apply a fade and zoom in/out effect for the added command nodes.

Respond to Twitch Chat Commands With Scene Elements and ComfyJS

To embed Twitch chat, we'll use the open-source project [ComfyJS](https://github.com/instafluff/ComfyJS) which is a JavaScript API to interface with the Twitch API. It offers features like responding to incoming chat messages and chat commands and other events like new subscriptions.

Using ComfyJS, we'll set up a section in the Twitch scenes to show incoming chat messages. This lesson covers the CSS needed to style the chat messages and make older ones scroll out of view once new ones are received. We'll take advantage of Eleventy templating to include the necessary scripts.

Embed Twitch Chat in Scenes Using ComfyJS

Add three Twitch scenes for preshow, host, and main, and style them using CSS. Learn how to include transparent background areas with CSS gradients that will mask capture areas for a webcam and desktop display.

In this lesson, you'll discover how to style View Transitions using CSS pseudo-selectors to create custom animation effects. We'll transform the default cross-fade into a smooth slide transition by targeting the ::view-transition-old and ::view-transition-new pseudo-elements. You'll learn how these powerful selectors give you precise control over your transition animations, allowing you to create more engaging and personalized user experiences with just a few lines of CSS.

Customize View Transitions with CSS Using view-transition-old and view-transition-new

In this lesson, you'll learn how to implement smooth state transitions in your web applications using the browser's built-in View Transitions API. We'll create a simple example that demonstrates how to animate between different text states with just a few lines of code - no external libraries required. This powerful native API makes it easy to add professional-looking transitions to your user interface, enhancing the user experience with minimal effort.

Create Smooth UI Transitions with the Native View Transitions API

I've been using Cursor for a very long time and their "Agent" feature in Composer is fairly new, so I'm still getting used to it. But since Windsurf recently got onto the stage with their Cascade agent, they've slowly been gaining the mind share on the UX for coding agents. I decided to put them to the test by putting Windsurf and Cursor on the exact same screen side by side trying to accomplish the same task and to see which workflow I would prefer. I've been a diehard Cursor user for over a year now, so it's going to take a lot for me to switch to a different IDE. But I just have to say, even from this simple demo, Windsurf is looking pretty nice.

This lesson is just going to walk through creating a CLI using both tools to print out inspirational quotes and to explore how they approach the step-by-step of installing packages and running commands and setting up all the files we need to get this running.

Windsurf Cascade vs. Cursor Composer Agent Side-by-Side Comparison

This TypeScript tutorial explains how to use generics, allowing for different types to be passed as arguments. It discusses the use of shorthand syntax in generics and illustrates with examples. This method is useful for library creation, providing type safety and control to the user.

```typescript
interface PhotoMetadata<T> {
  title: string;
  takenAt: Date;
  customData: T;
}

// Function that processes a photo with custom metadata
function processPhoto<T>(photo: PhotoMetadata<T>): {
  processedTitle: string;
  daysSinceCapture: number;
  customDataSummary: T;
} {
  const today = new Date();
  const daysSinceCapture = Math.floor(
    (today.getTime() - photo.takenAt.getTime()) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)
  );

  return {
    processedTitle: photo.title.toUpperCase(),
    daysSinceCapture,
    customDataSummary: photo.customData
  };
}

// Example usage with different custom data shapes
type CameraSettings = {
  iso: number;
  aperture: string;
  shutterSpeed: string;
}

type LocationData = {
  latitude: number;
  longitude: number;
  locationName: string;
}

// Using with camera settings
const photoWithCamera: PhotoMetadata<CameraSettings> = {
  title: "Sunset at beach",
  takenAt: new Date('2024-01-15'),
  customData: {
    iso: 100,
    aperture: "f/2.8",
    shutterSpeed: "1/1000"
  }
};

// Using with location data
const photoWithLocation: PhotoMetadata<LocationData> = {
  title: "Mountain vista",
  takenAt: new Date('2024-02-01'),
  customData: {
    latitude: 45.5231,
    longitude: -122.6765,
    locationName: "Mount Hood"
  }
};

const processedCameraPhoto = processPhoto(photoWithCamera);
const processedLocationPhoto = processPhoto(photoWithLocation);

processedCameraPhoto.customDataSummary.iso
processedLocationPhoto.customDataSummary.longitude

I've been using Cursor as my primary editor for over a year now, but recently I've heard wonderful things about Windsurf AI Agent features. I decided to record myself building out something I've always wanted to make, but never made the time for.

In this lesson, I demonstrate how to leverage Windsurf's powerful agent process to create a fun word-guessing game inspired by Heads Up. Watch as I build an interactive application featuring category selection and word navigation, complete with data hosting on GitHub Gists and deployment to GitHub Pages - all in under 30 minutes (before editing the lesson down to 12 minutes)!

What makes this project particularly exciting is how Windsurf eliminates the typical friction points of development. While this game was always on my project wishlist, the overhead of setup, configuration, and deployment made it hard to justify the time investment. Windsurf's agent process handles all these pain points seamlessly, from managing URLs to orchestrating deployment.

This lesson perfectly showcases how AI agents can help developers bring their backlog of project ideas to life, transforming what would typically be time-consuming tasks into efficient, enjoyable development experiences.

Discover how to harness the power of Cursor IDE's Composer Agent feature to optimize your code. In this lesson, you'll witness an AI agent doing all the work to generate test suites, implement performance benchmarks, and create optimized function variations - all without writing a single line of code. You'll learn how to validate performance improvements through data-driven benchmarking, ensuring that optimizations are backed by concrete metrics rather than speculation. This hands-on demonstration showcases a groundbreaking approach to automated function development that combines the precision of test-driven development with the efficiency of AI-powered optimization.

This course is aimed for using `zod` effectively in projects based on TypeScript (both browser and node.js). The benefits you gain with this course is not just simply coding, but also understanding when/why/how should you perform runtime validation.

`zod` is the missing piece to TypeScript's capabilities, which can guarantee type-safety only in compile-time.

`zod` can be used whenever the compiler cannot guarantee what happens in runtime. And... it's a very frequent usecase, such as HTTP calls, websockets, etc.

In this course you get quickly up and running by:
1. using `zod` with primitives and objects
2. adapting `zod` quickly to existing projects thanks to automatic generators
3. changing the strategy frm type-first to schema-first
4. using error-throwing `parse` or non-error-throwing `safeParse` basing on your needs
5. applying `zod` to the most common usecase - validating API responses
6. handling errors the most convenient way (out of many!)

Take advantage of runtime validation with `zod`. Take advantage of the detailed lessons in this course 🔥

Effective Runtime Type Checks with Zod


Cursor can now automatically run commands in the terminal and walk step-by-step towards building out your entire project. You give it a goal, then it will suggest the commands you need to run and the files that you need to create and you can work with it to achieve what you're building. This lesson does a quick walkthough of using a Cursor Agent to build a project from scratch and guide it along the way. Cursor Agents definitely feel like a sneak peek at the future of programming!
