Learn Ember, Git and Testing-library

In 2018, Kent C. Dodds wrote: "The more your tests resemble the way your software is used, the more confidence they can give you." This phrase became the guiding principle for the entire Testing Library ecosystem. 

A few years later, the React Testing Library became the de facto library for writing unit and integration tests in the React ecosystem.

Thanks to its user-centric perspective, our tests are closer to our user experience and far away from implementation details.

In this course, you will learn how to:

- render your components
- properly query your UI for elements while keeping accessibility and your users' experience in mind
- improve your testing experience with the usage of some utilities
- interact with your components to fire events
- leverage asynchronous utilities to customize your testing flow
- get rid of the annoying "not wrapped in act" warning

After this course, you should be able to write and debug any test using the React Testing Library!

The `@testing-library` family of packages helps you test UI components in a user-centric way.

You want to write maintainable tests that give you high confidence that your components are working for your users. As a part of this goal, you want your tests to avoid including implementation details so refactors of your components (changes to implementation but not functionality) don't break your tests and slow you and your team down.

Testing Library accomplish these goals so you can be confident your application will work when it gets to the end user.

An Introduction to the React Testing Library

This workshop will start by breaking down the four states in which a file can exist, and we'll build up our mental model of git from there. Then, we'll look at how to move files between those states in different ways.

Once we've developed a new model for how git operates, we'll be able to purposefully get ourselves into some sticky situations, and then gracefully recover from them.

If you can handle git add/commit/push, but not much more - then this workshop is perfect for you.

You can finally get some proper git training, and will never have to worry about losing data or messing up the repo again!

Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.

Fix Common Git Mistakes

Knowing your everyday toolset increases your productivity as a developer. And Git is one of those tools you use on a daily basis. Mastering Git is tough; it has hundreds of different commands, often even inconsistent at how you pass in flags and configuration options. On the other side, there are a lot of good Git courses out there already, explaining all of these commands in detail. 

With this course, I aim at a different goal. You will walk through a series of scenarios which you’ll most commonly encounter in your daily work life as a developer. I’m talking:
 - updating your feature branch with the latest changes from master
 - polishing your git history to make it ready for being peer-reviewed
 - moving a set of commits to another branch
 - undoing accidental commits

The goal is not to cover everything, but those tasks that will greatly improve your daily productivity with Git.


Productive Git for Developers

“Feel free to submit a PR!” - words often found in GitHub issues, but met with confusion and fear by many. Getting started with contributing open source is not always straightforward and can be tricky. With this series, you’ll be equipped with the the tools, knowledge, and understanding you need to be productive and contribute to the wonderful world of open source projects. Much of this series speaks about GitHub, but most of the concepts are generally applicable to contributing to any open source project, regardless of where it’s hosted.

So enjoy the course and start contributing to the projects you use and love today!

How to Contribute to an Open Source Project on GitHub

`git reflog` helps developers recover from their mistakes. The reflog keeps track of any changes or commits to each branch since cloning a repository. It's frequently used to keep track of changes made locally that are sometimes wiped out when pulling in remote changes.

This lesson demonstrates how to use git reflog to restore git commits and branches that have been lost. We will clone a repo, make some changes with commits and branches, remove all of those changes, and then use data from the reflog to restore them.

A JavaScript framework for creating ambitious web applications.

In this lesson we will create an `updateContent` method that sets the value of our `content` property to the current epoch timestamp. We need to call `toString()` on the `Date.now()` method in order to make TypeScript happy.

```
updateContent() {
  this.content = Date.now().toString()
}
```

We create a constructor that takes the options parameter, call `super(options)` and call into our `this.updateContent()` method.

```
constructor(options) {
  super(options)
  this.updateContent()
}
```

When we refresh our page we can see that the value of `content` is set to the epoch timestamp. 

To make the content really dynamic we use `setInterval()` to call into `updateContent` each second: `setInterval(() => this.updateContent(), 1000)`.

When we save our file we see that our content does not get updated anymore and when we check the console we see that we get an error telling us that: The 'content' property on the my-component component was changed after it had been rendered. The error also informs us that we should Use the @tracked decorator to mark this as a tracked property.

We add the @tracked decorator to our property, we import tracked from @glimmer/component and we refresh the page. We verify that `content` gets updated each second.

We change our `updateContent` to add our the timestamp to the array. When we use `this.items.push(this.content)` to achieve this we see that the list does not get updated. This is because the `@tracked` decorator only tracks the re-assignment of properties.

The way to get this working is by re-assigning our `items` array inside `updateContent`. We assign a new array, de-structure the current items array and add the new content.

```
this.items = [...this.items, this.content]
```

In this lesson we’ll talk about what GitHub is and how to sign up for a GitHub account so you can contribute to an open source project on GitHub.

Introduction to GitHub

GitHub adds a lot of great features on top of git repository hosting. We’ll take a look at some of these features including:

- How to create a repository and organization on GitHub
- How to explore and find projects on GitHub
- About GitHub gists
- Searching pull requests and issues on GitHub

Exploring GitHub

The basic unit of GitHub is a repository. This is where your code is stored and GitHub allows you to interact with others and with the code in great ways. In this lesson we talk about Watching, Starting, and Forking a repository. We also cover GitHub issues and pull requests and various other stats about a GitHub repository.

Exploring a Repository

Let’s install the Git Source Control Management software so we can interact with repositories hosted on GitHub.

How to install Git SCM

Anytime you push code to GitHub, you must be authenticated so GitHub knows you are authorized to make changes. In this lesson we’ll learn how to authenticate with GitHub using SSH so we don’t have to enter our username and password each time we push code to GitHub.

How to authenticate with GitHub using SSH

In this lesson we will use the ember cli to generate a new component. Running `ember g glimmer-component my-component` generates the template and component class. We change the content of our component and add it to the main template in order to show it on the page.

Create a new GlimmerJS component

When you find a bug in an open source project, you know exactly the change you want to make. Other times you just want to find a way to contribute. Either way, you’ll need to know how the project maintainers want to run the project and work with them to come up with an implementation for the fix/feature. And if you don't even know what project to start contributing to, check out [this blogpost](https://medium.com/@kentcdodds/what-open-source-project-should-i-contribute-to-7d50ecfe1cb4) for inspiration on how to identify a good project to contribute to.

Identifying How to Contribute to an Open Source Project on GitHub

You cannot push code to repositories that you don’t own or have sufficient permission to. So instead, you make your own copy of the repository by “forking” it. You are then free to make any changes you wish to your repository.

How to Fork and Clone a GitHub Repository

Before you start making your changes, you often need to set up your environment for the changes. This is where the repositories' contributing instructions come in really handy. In this lesson we’ll get our environment set up and ready for changes.

Setting up the project locally

Often when making a change, you want to verify your approach with the maintainer or ask them for help. In this lesson we’ll make a change and commit that WIP change. Then we’ll create a pull request requesting help from the project maintainer.

How to create a Pull Request on GitHub

In this lesson we will add a variable called `content` to our component class, initialize it as a string and display the variable in our class using the double curly braces syntax, which is the handlebars expression for expressions, `{ {content }}`. 

After this we create a new class variable called `items`, initialize it as an array with strings. To display this list in our template we add a `<ul></ul>` and inside this unordered list we use the handlebars `each` helper to display the list items.

And inside our each statement we will print a `<li>` tag and render `{{ item}}` inside it.

```
<ul>
  {{#each items key="@index" as |item| }}
    <li>{{item}}</li> 
  {{/each}}
</ul>
```



Use template variables in a GlimmerJS component

It’s not often that you’ll get a Pull Request on GitHub just right the first time you try. You generally will iterate with the project maintainer on your solution before your PR gets merged. In this lesson, we’ll explore some of the tools that projects use to manage contributions to open source projects on GitHub.

How to Collaborate on a Pull Request on GitHub

Once you’ve made your code updates locally, all you need to do is commit those changes and push that commit to your Pull Request branch. In this lesson we’ll also talk about how to skip git hooks that may be included in the project when you just need help.

How to update a Pull Request on GitHub

Sometimes your Pull Request can fall behind master in a repository and occasionally that will result in merge conflicts which you have to manage yourself. In this lesson we’ll learn how to use `git rebase` to update our pull request branch to the latest version of master and resolve merge conflicts with git.

How to rebase a git Pull Request branch

Often, project maintainers prefer that a single pull request be represented by a single commit. It makes the git history cleaner and easier to understand. So before your pull request is merged you’ll want to do an interactive git rebase to squash all of your commits and fix your commit message.

How to squash multiple git commits

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.
