Learn Graphql, Ionic and Redwoodjs

GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools.

When your application communicates with multiple GraphQL services, it becomes problematic to distinguish them by operation type and name alone. Learn how to take the service's endpoint into account when intercepting GraphQL queries and mutations with Mock Service Worker.

Endpoint-Based GraphQL Mocking in MSW

Let's improve our schema-first GraphQL mocks by intercepting _all_ GraphQL operations—both queries and mutations—using a single Mock Service Worker `graphql.operation()` request handler. 

- [`graphql.operation()`](https://mswjs.io/docs/api/graphql#graphloperationresolver)

Mock All GraphQL Operations in MSW

Operation-based GraphQL mocking allows you to move fast without investing time into schemas or resolvers. 

But, when integrating Mock Service Worker into an existing application, going schema-first can be advantageous. Here's how you can route every GraphQL request to be resolved against a GraphQL schema, mocked or real, and use mock resolvers to control individual types and fields. 

Resolve GraphQL Requests Against a Mock Schema in MSW

Error responses in GraphQL are a bit unique. They must still produce a "200 OK" response and list the errors in the response body instead. Let's follow the GraphQL specification to produce a valid GraphQL error response in our Mock Service Worker handlers.

In this lesson, you will use the Mock Service Worker `graphql.mutation()` request handler to allow the users to leave reviews for the movie they've watched. 

- [`graphql` namespace](http://mswjs.io/docs/api/graphql)

Intercept and Mock GraphQL Mutations in MSW

Let's spice things up by adding GraphQL to our application. 

Since you are prototyping mock-first, you don't have to write any GraphQL schemas or define any resolvers. Instead, you will utilize Mock Service Worker to intercept valid GraphQL queries by their _type_ and _name_, and respond with the same semantic JSON responses matching the queries.

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.

Introduction to Mock REST and GraphQL APIs with Mock Service Worker

Controlling the network is the key to fast prototyping, bullet-proof tests, and efficient debugging. 

Mocking the APIs you use gives you this kind of control but most methods in the client and server come up short. 

That's where Mock Service Worker does it right.

With it you can intercept and take control of requests no matter where they're being made.

In this course, you will learn how to:

* setup and your first request handler 
* mock complex flows like authentication
* describe dynamic requests
* respond with HTTP streams,
* and use schema-first GraphQL mocking

After this course you'll be more than ready to bring MSW into your app and start mocking any kind of API you're using!

Mock Service Worker is an API mocking library that allows you to write client-agnostic mocks and reuse them across any frameworks, tools, and environments.

Get started building web applications with Angular and Firebase.

In this course, you'll learn how to set up and use Firebase in your Angular applications using the AngularFire library.

We choose the AngularFire library because it is an official library created by the Firebase and Angular teams to work better with Angular.

It helps you by wrapping everything into observables and helps update zones. 

By the end of this course, you'll be able to build web applications using Cloud Firestore as your database, Firebase Authentication as your Auth system, Cloud Storage to save files, and Firebase Hosting to deploy your applications to the web.

TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript.

Build Full Stack Web Applications with Angular and Firebase

Ionic is the beautiful, free and open source mobile SDK for developing native and progressive web apps with ease.

Now that file uploading works, we want to actually show that a task has files associated with it. To do this we will need to update the task object with a file property that we'll push files too.

In this lesson, we'll use Cloud Storage methods like getDownloadUrl() to get the file's download URL from our bucket.

Then we'll add that file's information to our task and persist it in the database to show the list of files in a task to the user.

While we do this, you'll see how we can easily add a spinner when files are being uploaded using Ionic loadingController.


Save and Display Tasks Files Utilizing Firebase Cloud Storage getDownloadUrl

A scenario you will inevitably run into is users needing to reset their passwords for security reasons or they lost and forgot their password.

We'll learn how to send our users an email to reset their passwords, after we send the email, we'll display a notification alert with ionic alertController to the user and redirect them to the login page.


Send a Password Reset Email Using Firebase Authentication with sendPasswordResetEmail

Now it's time to create a template for our authentication page using Ionics page generation CLI.

We'll show how to use the same page for all of our authentication operations by reading the parameters from the URL and displaying the right form elements and buttons depending on the parameters present.


Create an Authentication Page Template with Ionic Page Generation

We'll learn how to delete documents from the database. This action is pretty straight forward, we'll add a delete button that will call Firestore `deleteDoc` and pass in the task id.

We'll also explore a good practice when performing destructive operations (__like deleting database objects__) of adding a confirmation step to make sure our users don't delete objects by accident. We'll do this with the Ionic Alert Controller.


Delete a Document with a Confirmation Step from Firestore

We'll evaluate 2 good practices when adding a new task.

First, we'll show the users a toast alert to notify them that their document was saved in the database. We'll do this with a toast component that ionic makes available to us

And second, we'll use Angular's router to navigate the user back to the task list.

Notify Users Their Database Operation Worked with a Toast Alert

We'll create the template for our new page and set everything up so that we can use this page to create new tasks. The first thing we will do is create a BehaviorSubject task variable that we'll store form values in to send to Firebase.

Because we are using the ionic framework we'll lean heavily into this when creating our templates. You'll see how we bind text values to the object we'll send to Firebase as well as a selector component that will use `ion-segment`.

We'll also see a tip on handling the `async` pipe in a top container in our template so that we don't have to manually add it everywhere we'll render a property from an observable

There are 2 different ways to get a document's ID when using `@angular/fire`.

You can add the parameter `{ idField: 'id' }` to your collection when using the `collectionData()` observable.

You can also use the observable `collectionChanges()` and access the internal metadata of the document to manually get the ID and add it to the resulting object.

Code sample: https://github.com/javebratt/angularfire-idField

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.

When a vendor manages their shops, they might want to click into the shop and mange the products associated with that shop. Let's create a page for that.

I'll create a details route that will host this information. On this page we will write a `GetShop` query that will take in the shop id that is pulled from the route. Similar to the shops page, we will iterate over the products on the shop and add buttons to manage individual products.

Create Shop Details View that uses GraphQL to Query Fauna by Shop Id

It would be great to show a list of shops that a vendor has created. To do this we will need to create a new query `getShopsByOwnerId` that accepts a string that will be our user id. Like before, we'll merge this schema change into Fauna and update our roles to make this request.

On the frontend we'll create a shop list component and pass in the user token that Auth0 gives us for the logged in user.

Query Data by Property with GraphQL and Fauna in Next.js

Fauna is a flexible database so we can update our schema without breaking any existing functionality. You'll notice that our products all have hard coded images. In this lesson, we'll update our `Product` to include an image and import those changes to Fauna.

Update the Product GraphQL Data Model and Upload Changes to Fauna

Next.js is a minimalistic framework for server-rendered React applications.

Query Data with GraphQL in Next.js from a Fauna Database

With our GraphQL schema in hand, we can create a full-fledged Fauna database. We'll import our GraphQL schema into a newly created database and explore the mutations and queries that were generated for us by creating and searching for a shop.

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.


Agent-Driven Development in Cursor: Testing, Benchmarking, and Optimizing Functions

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!

While using anonymous functions might seem convenient, they can create difficulties when trying to identify performance bottlenecks during profiling. This lesson will demonstrate how named functions make it easier to pinpoint and address performance issues, ultimately leading to more efficient and debuggable code. Learning this practice will greatly improve your ability to locate and fix performance issues in complex projects.

Always Name Functions in JavaScript


When attempting to load the same module twice in JavaScript you'll hit a cache and code won't re-run. In scenarios where you actually do want to have state in your modules, you'll have to use a cache-busting technique by passing a query parameter to a dynamic import. This lesson walks through how to add a query parameter, how to add the appropriate types for loading dynamic modules in TypeScript, and when these techniques are valuable.

Import the Same JavaScript Module Multiple Times with Cache Busting



The include keyword in GitHub Actions empowers you to add custom variables to your matrix strategy, providing flexibility beyond standard configurations. In this video, we'll explore how include allows you to define specific combinations of variables, enhancing control over your workflow runs. You'll see how this feature enables you to tailor jobs for unique environments or scenarios not covered by the default matrix options. By leveraging include, you can efficiently manage complex build processes with greater precision. This technique helps you streamline your CI/CD pipeline, making it more adaptable to your project's evolving needs.

Use GitHub Actions Matrix Include for Complex Job Configurations

While running `zod` schema validation agains domain-rich objects, the error message saying that _a string is not a number_ might not be really useful.

Especially, when you need to provide a meaningful feeback to the user, e.g. after they have submitted a form with lots of data.

`zod` allows to customize messages on a very granular level. We can also extract repeatable customization to `zod` error maps.

Finally, in order to process an error message further (e.g. display it to the user), we need to handle the `zod` validation errors effectively. Especially, when a big object validation has failed and we could receive a handful of errors.

That's what we learn in this lesson. 🔥

Customize zod Error Messages and Handle zod Errors Effectively

customize zod validation messages, customize zod schema property messages, reuse error maps across different schemas, navigate through zod error objects

You might want to run `zod` schema checks in different styles.

Sometimes you prefer to conditionally throw the error - that's what `parse` does. But another time you'd prefer to receive a `boolean` property that determines whether the validation was successful or not - and perform further actions accordingly.

Additionally, the error-throwing API of `parse` works extremely well with [TypeScript assertion functions](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/release-notes/typescript-3-7.html#assertion-functions). Their combination is just... perfect! 👌

That's what we learn in this lesson.

Use parse and safeParse Runtime Type-checks with zod

use zod parse function to conditionally throw ZodError, use zod safeParse to get a boolean value and run typescript type guard over success property

In this lesson we learn that TypeScript cannot guarantee correct shapes of responses. That's due to TS performing checks in compile-time, while the response will be availbale in runtime - when TS doesn't exist anymore.

In some situations, such as HTTP requests, runtime type checks such as `zod` are essential for providing quick feedback around data-related errors.

Understand where are the possible mistakes to make while using TypeScript with HTTP calls. Use `fetch` and `axios` along with `zod` schema checks.

Also, note that similar mistakes or mistakes could happen while using web storage (e.g. `localStorage`)

Validate HTTP API Response with zod, fetch and axios
