1. Type Inference Typescript is smart enough to infer the data types when you help it narrow them down. enum CounterActionType { Increment = "INCREMENT", IncrementBy = "INCREMENT_BY", } interface IncrementAction { type: CounterActionType.Increm...

Historically, I have despised dealing with JavaScript build tools. For years it seemed to me a frustratingly fragile enterprise; so much so that I spent time building my own tools just to avoid the mess. I am happy to share that this area of the ecosystem seems to finally be maturing. I was pleasant...

TypeScript usage in the modern software development industry is expanding rapidly with the emergence of the static type-checking concept in JavaScript. So, the chances are high that you have heard of both Types and Interfaces in TypeScript. However, it’s possible for novice developers to...

Introduction: In the learning journey of a programming language, having access to the right tools and resources is crucial. While documentation and interactive platforms like ChatGPT are invaluable, YouTube has emerged as a popular medium for learning programming languages due to its visual an...

What are Source Maps Source maps are files with names ending with .map (for example, example.min.js.map and styles.css.map). They can be generated by most build tools, for example, Vite, webpack, Rollup, Parcel, esbuild, and more. Most of the time, our p...

It is commonly used in distributed systems, such as distributed databases and file systems, to ensure data consistency and availability. Some real-life applications of the Raft Algorithm inclu...

Adding TypeScript to JavaScript, it is no longer a choice but an obligation to have a robust code. Let me show you how to strongly type your code with the safeParseTo function. Without Using safeParseTo Let’s imagine, we have a function that accept a string/number list. It d...

When ever I was looking into the typescript Date class constructor implementation, I always wondered how its constructor signature worked like that, how it can have many signature, how can it work with 1st argument as number or string or an instance of itself. Every time I tried to implement the con...

While Rust has a concept of interface, it differs from other programming languages in that it does not use the interface keyword to specify the behavior of classes and functions. Instead, Rust’s closest abstraction pattern is trait. Although these concepts have many differences,...

Dealing with errors is an essential part of software engineering. Defining and having strong guidelines on how to handle errors will make your life easier when developing features, but also, and maybe more importantly when things go wrong! At Orus (where we try to reinvent professional in...
