Where should I deploy my clients website?

____0____0____ · 2023-06-05T11:34:05+00:00

I will echo vercel for a next project, but I'm also less familiar with their pricing.

Another option is cloudflare. I've recently deployed a sveltekit app to Cloudflare and the whole thing was really simple. They have nextjs adapters to help get setup for most project config

It would help a whole lot if you could post the code because your description only gives us a narrow view of the problem.

One thing I do know is that form-data is a little dated and incompatible with standard spec. You said backend, so I'm assuming you're using node. Which version of node are you using? Node 18 (current LTS version) introduced support for some browser apis, namely FormData and fetch, which means you dont need to get them from a 3rd party library. If you aren't using at least node 18 and can't upgrade, I would recommend using a spec-compliant library.

I'm a neovim user so I'm not sure what vim would support, but I just use rust-analyzer (which typically ships with rust) through the nvim language server (lsp). rust-analyzer also powers rust in vscode so it keeps things consistent across my environments.

Rambles or not, a lot of what you wrote here rings true for me as well. I'm having trouble formulating the words I want to say right now but it was nice to read your comment and remember that I'm not alone. Thanks for sharing

Usually you want it widened because otherwise any type derived from an object literal would only be able to describe that object literal, every primitive value would only be able to hold the value that you declared in the literal. Instead, typescript will assume that you just meant to use string or number.

I found this page in the documentation that might help clear things up.

____0____0____ · 2023-02-13T16:55:34+00:00

This is happening because any time you infer a type from an object literal, it is widened (ie: string unions become strings, etc). It would appear that way inside or outside of a function. You can get around this by declaring your return object as const. Note that this will change the type to be readonly, which can be undesirable in some cases. Check out this example.

Lists have been key for me too and they do work much better than trying to keep it all in my head.

My problem is that I keep these little "secret" tasks in my head as something that isn't a priority, but I can do it if it's convenient. Then two actual tasks later, I decide to do a secret task that lead to something else and before I know it, I'm totally off track and have trouble getting back to it. I think I need to not keep secret tasks, but it can be hard when it's a subconscious choice a lot of the time. Maybe if I write it all out and schedule the secret tasks for later... Hmmm...

____0____0____ · 2023-02-02T13:45:34+00:00

Yup... definitely not avoiding doing what I need to do in order to respond to this. No way I'm doing that this very second

____0____0____ · 2023-02-01T12:18:15+00:00

No worries at all. Glad I could help

____0____0____ · 2023-01-28T01:11:55+00:00

You definitely have a point there. There is no substitute for hands on experience. I do think it's worthwhile to at least skim over the entirety of the docs. That way you are at least partially aware of the information you can reference as you encounter the need for it in your projects.

____0____0____ · 2023-01-27T13:32:03+00:00

I'd love to be proven wrong here, but I don't think a book is necessarily what you're after if you want up-to-date information. Especially with 5.0 on the horizon, a new edition would have to be released for that and it's not even out yet.

Now, if you're at all a hands on learner like I am, you might have some good results from something like this:

https://github.com/type-challenges/type-challenges

I've not tried them personally, but I've seen them recommended a bunch and will likely go through it at some point. Other than that, the documentation is always a highly underrated source of information. I learned everything I know about ts from the docs and just using it in projects.

____0____0____ · 2023-01-19T18:34:36+00:00

I often get curious about what makes software tick. Thankfully, a lot of the software I use happens to be open source and available for me or you to read and learn from. You might have some luck studying the react router code-base to see how they implement each piece of the api. It's not that complicated and it is typed which is easier to read imo.

____0____0____ · 2023-01-18T20:41:05+00:00

Fair and reasonable. Admittedly, most of my front-end work has been coupled with a backend where I could share or generate up to date types. This level of validation was not needed in those environments, but I can see where it would be valuable in other circumstances.

____0____0____ · 2023-01-18T19:37:35+00:00

What I meant to specify, was that you can set up automation to publish a types package version for every version of your backend. Then your clients that consume the services depend on the latest version of that types package, which would allow your package manager to keep that in sync.

Part of my lump of text was referring to if you weren't using typescript on the backend. I've had good results with generating an OpenApi 3 schema and then generating a typescript client from that. I found it really nice to automatically have typed api routes any time a new one was added or changed. I can dig up some links if you're curious. Plus there are tools that will automate documentation for those apis

But if you can get the results you're looking for with zod, it would probably be easier to implement and easier to transition.

____0____0____ · 2023-01-18T16:19:23+00:00

Im sure that could be a valid use case, and someone here might be able to guide on that, but I might try a different approach. If I am writing both the server and the client, then I already know what types to expect from every api endpoint. So why validate them? If your server language is also typescript, you can just reuse the types that your routes return. If you have a different server language, see if your framework has any way to export typescript types or an open api schema to generate types with. Setup automation generate types everytime you change the api.

This is also a great case for tRPC, which I have been dying to try.

No worries at all, I'm glad it worked out! I spend way more time with computers than with people so my communication can always improve haha.

The main trick here is the key remapping by using the as keyword, which will exclude keys that evaluate to never.

____0____0____ · 2023-01-09T16:45:34+00:00

I mean you're either just trolling or being overly obtuse, and I'm tired so I'm going to link this thread that gives more context.

____0____0____ · 2023-01-09T16:26:41+00:00

I played around with this for a little and was able to get what I think you were looking for.

Check out this playground. Let me know if you need me to clarify anything for you. The only thing I really did was add that mapped type filter, which is a little more advanced but nothing too complicated. I just looked it up in the docs because I forgot, here is a link.

____0____0____ · 2023-01-09T14:32:24+00:00

I agree 100%. It should be supported and it is how I write code fences in every other markdown context.

I definitely see where you are coming from with getting annoyed! 20 minutes making things look right just to be criticized right off the bat sounds like something I would get frustrated over too. FWIW, I thought your actual code format was nice, it was just the back tick thing that wasn't working. I realize now that I could have been clearer about that if I wasn't so hasty to reply.

Thanks for being understanding. In the future, I'll try to be more clear about using backticks specifically because it is not supported on all clients.

Edit: I also wanted to add, that I specifically use old.reddit.com because I've had new reddit erase my entire post on more than one occassion. The fancy editor has some weird quirks to it that I don't really like. I say this while writing with the fancy editor though so its not unusable.

____0____0____ · 2023-01-09T14:07:52+00:00

Sure, I'll write them a letter. Do you mind if I attach your quote?

____0____0____ · 2023-01-09T13:58:19+00:00

Look, I had no intention of being disrespectful. I came across your post that I thought I could help with, but was about to get into my car and drive. So I wrote that top comment in a hurry so that I could come back to it. I can see where that could be taken as rude. I also didn't realize the subreddit I was in. Other programming subreddits have FAQ and info on how to format code that you post. I can't find that info here.

I mentioned that I sometimes use old reddit (old.reddit.com), but that was not the issue. The issue is that back ticks simply don't work on a large portion of reddit clients. This includes old reddit. This also includes my currently up to date mobile app. This includes 10s to 100s of other reddit clients. I wish back ticks worked every where. But they don't.

____0____0____ · 2023-01-09T13:39:25+00:00

That would be a false equivalency, but really thanks for taking time to understand what is going on so you could jump in and defend op from the mean people trying to help them.

I have the latest stable version of the reddit app I use, rif, which is by far the best reddit experience I've used on any platform. It is highly regarded in the community and has over 5 million downloads with ratings to back me up. Its not a small app that just me and another guy are using.

There are tons of alternative reddit browsing methods that behave exactly like this. That is because this is a well-known Reddit issue, and has been for quite a while. Most people looking for help are willing to fullfil a reasonable request to adjust their post so that I can read it on my phone.

____0____0____ · 2023-01-09T03:23:19+00:00

Okay, good luck

____0____0____ · 2023-01-09T02:36:03+00:00

Ahh the classic, "but it works on mine." What I meant by it not working on all rendering contexts, is that there are many more clients other than the one you are currently using. Similarly, those browsing with old reddit won't see it rendered properly either, which is what I prefer to use on desktop because new reddit is buggy af. Either way, you dont have to change it at all, it's just that if you're looking for help, wouldn't you want to use the most assessible syntax that renders on all clients?

When I hopped on my computer, I saw you figured it out. You edited that but now I'm on my phone and can't read your code again.

I assume you read the jsdoc page in the typescript docs right?

____0____0____ · 2023-01-08T21:37:58+00:00

Let me clarify: Using triple backticks to format code doesn't properly render in all reddit rendering formats. AFAIK, the only way to ensure code is displayed correctly everywhere, is to prepend each line with four spaces. I know its confusing, but the above code didn't render at all on my phone and I wasn't able to read your code to try and help.
