Catch Errors in Nested Awaits
Adam C. |
TryCatch is very useful in JavaScript code to handle errors/exceptions. Without that, our code will die in the middle when there is an exception. Adding TryCatch at the top level of Await/Async may meet our need to prevent the code from interrupting in the middle, but in order for debugging the cause of the error, we would need to add the TryCatch to the nested Await/Async functions.
Understanding the 'this' Keyword in JavaScript: Anonymous Functions vs Arrow Functions
Adam C. |
The meaning of this in JavaScript can be a bit confusing, especially when using anonymous functions and arrow functions. When you use an anonymous function declared with the function keyword, the this keyword inside the function refers to the object that called the function. In other words, the this keyword is bound to the context of the function call.
How to Get 'Object this' Inside an Arrow Function in JavaScript
Adam C. |
In an arrow function, the this keyword behaves differently than in a regular function. In an arrow function, the this keyword is lexically scoped, meaning that it takes its value from the enclosing execution context. This is in contrast to regular functions, where the value of this is determined by how the function is called.
Optimizing GraphQL Data Loading with DataLoader and Efficient Grouping
Adam C. |
GraphQL is a powerful query language that enables flexible data fetching, but as your application grows, optimizing data loading becomes crucial. In this blog post, we'll explore how to leverage DataLoader to efficiently batch and cache data-loading requests in a GraphQL server. Additionally, we'll address performance challenges when dealing with many-to-many relationships and demonstrate optimizations for large datasets.
Analyzing Performance: A Comparative Study of Two Approaches for Processing Large Datasets
Adam C. |
n the realm of data processing, the efficiency of code is paramount, especially when dealing with large datasets. This blog post aims to compare the performance of two code snippets designed to count and organize data from a sizable dataset. The snippets, albeit achieving the same result, implement different strategies to handle the data. We will dissect each approach, evaluating their strengths and weaknesses.
Understanding Asynchronous Recursive Function Calls in JavaScript
Adam C. |
Asynchronous recursive function calls are a powerful technique used in JavaScript for handling tasks that require repeated asynchronous operations until a certain condition is met. In this blog post, we'll explore this concept using a real-world example and discuss how to ensure that the final result is correctly propagated back to the initial caller.
How to Scroll to an Element with a Dynamic ID and Adjust for Padding or Fixed Headers
Adam C. |
In many web applications, you often need to scroll to specific elements dynamically based on partial or unknown IDs. This can be especially useful when elements are generated dynamically, and you only know a portion of the ID, such as a prefix or suffix.
