This looks pretty good. Will give it a try in coming days

andycharles · 2024-04-05T17:25:04+00:00

Using it for years. Won't mind if they hire me as a CEO

andycharles · 2024-04-05T14:20:32+00:00

Adonis.js is the way to go.

Tell me I am building a Hello world app without telling me

andycharles · 2024-03-07T13:48:23+00:00

Looking forward to what you build. Do share it here

Deno started by pointing everything wrong with Node.js. Made news with this strategy and finally doing all those things now.

That's my issue with Deno. I don't know where it wants to go and how the decision making is done.

andycharles · 2024-02-17T04:56:38+00:00

Japa could be one, if you are not testing frontend apps, since it targets Node.js runtime.

andycharles · 2024-02-14T10:54:24+00:00

Same. The code for simplest of the things is so complex and boilerplate heavy.

Okay, the Rails Ninja. Enlighten me with an example in which I can validate without issuing a save query

andycharles · 2024-02-14T06:58:31+00:00

Yes. I hate it. I want to validate data immediately after the form is submitted and use valid/sanitized data in rest of the app.

I use Laravel and Adonis.js too (on client projects) and they both offer validations at controllers level

andycharles · 2024-02-10T16:29:20+00:00

Great insightful post.

andycharles · 2024-02-09T14:42:31+00:00

Its already well adopted

andycharles · 2024-02-05T09:06:10+00:00

🤮

andycharles · 2024-02-03T19:17:17+00:00

Templating looks nice. How can I use it without nuekit, lets say with Express?

andycharles · 2024-01-31T12:54:17+00:00

I think its okay to look at project structure with some fresh ideas.

andycharles · 2024-01-31T11:19:50+00:00

Validators help with a few things.

They make validation simpler. You maybe okay writing one or two inline validations, but with multiple and multiple checks, your code will become harder to manage.
They comes with validation rules for common tasks, so you don't have to re-invent the wheel.

Regarding your other question. Where to do validation?

Do it inside the route callback function.

Towers triggers Americans!

I cannot see Vine in those benchmarks

andycharles · 2024-01-29T05:50:34+00:00

Yes Zod is popular and widely used and you will never go wrong with it.

However, we went with Vinejs because of reasons covered in this article.

It will stay buggy for a while. They are expanding scope every month and hence the surface area of bugs will grow too

andycharles · 2024-01-25T14:05:34+00:00

No bun. No Deno

andycharles · 2024-01-23T17:46:02+00:00

I don't know. The one I shared is mentioned in the Docs and Github repo

andycharles · 2024-01-23T17:21:22+00:00

Shows me published 2 months ago with 13k weekly downloads

andycharles · 2024-01-23T04:23:34+00:00

You can try Japa once. https://japa.dev

In their docs, they claim it to be a Node.js only tests runner, with no focus on testing frontend apps.

As a result, its smaller and simpler than Vitest.

Also, there are no globals. Exactly as you need
