Developers that love TypeScript will love this week's newsletter issue. We have several great TypeScript articles but one is standing out, "The TypeScript Tax" by Eric Elliott. It's a great article that you will definitely enjoy reading.
Promises are always an interesting topic in the JavaScript world. It's always good to refresh and expand your knowledge and understanding about it. This week Sukhjinder Arora is helping you "Understanding Promises in JavaScript".
While Sukhjinder is helping you with the promises, Chidume Nnamdi is focusing on "Understanding Fragments in React". All React developers will have a great time and a lot of fun with this one.

Why do I have to use Dependency Injection in JS?
Anytime we go into a project, existent or newly created, we always think about how what we'll build can be more manageable, scalable and and easy to test. This is where using Dependency Injection can come in handy for us. But first, what do we mean by Dependency Injection?

Understanding Promises in JavaScript
JavaScript is a single-threaded programming language, that means only one thing can happen at a time. Before ES6, we used callbacks to handle asynchronous tasks such as network requests. Using promises, we can avoid the infamous 'callback hell' and make our code cleaner, easier to read, and easier to understand.

Async JavaScript basics revise
JavaScript may seem like an easy language to start with at the beginning. This might seem to be true when looking at it without going deeper into the subject, in reality, JS is far from the easiest programming language to learn. Only full dive in can lead to a discovery of JS complexity.

The TypeScript Tax
TypeScript grew a great deal between 2017 and 2019, and in many ways, for good reason. There's a lot to love about TypeScript. In the 2018 State of JavaScript survey, almost half the respondents said they'd tried TypeScript and would use it again. But should you use it for your large scale app development project?

How TypeScript breaks referential transparency
Suppose we have a function, purchase, which buys a product for us: We'll call this "inline form." In JavaScript, you can factor the inline parameter out into a variable and pass a reference without changing the behavior of your code: This is sometimes called referential transparency or the Substitution Principle.

TypeORM Migrations with Postgres. TypeScript Express
In this article, we go through migrations, which is a significant thing when working with Postgres. We learn what they are and the basics of how to write them. Although the knowledge of SQL is useful here, we also learn how to have them auto-generated for us with the help of TypeORM CLI and how to use the TypeORM migrations API to avoid writing SQL queries.

Building an AOT Friendly Dynamic Content Outlet in Angular
Have you ever needed to dynamically load content or components in your Angular applications? How about in a way that the built-in structural directives - *ngIf and *ngSwitch - just don't provide? Are you also in need of the optimization benefits of using Ahead-of-Time compilation? Well, I have good news for you...(And no you don't have to be Chuck Norris!)

Renderless Components In Angular 7.2.0
Ben Nadel draws inspiration from a post by Adam Wathan on "Renderless Components" in Vue.js; and, translates the concept into Angular 7.2.0 context. However, instead of trying to jam all the code into one component, Ben uses a Super class and a Sub class to create focused components, each with a specific set of responsibilities.

Manage State in Angular with NGXS
As front-end applications become increasingly complex, with the potential of multiple actors affecting the global state of the application in different ways, it becomes easy to lose control of what's going on with your state. If you've never had to worry about managing global state in your JavaScript application, congratulations!

What the Tick is Vue.nextTick?
You start reading Vue's documentation, and everything seems under control. Props, components, events. Okay. So far so good. This is easier than expected. I'm a pro, now. But then, as if it were a wild Pokémon, something unexpected appears. nextTick(). Damn. Just when I started to understand Vue... Anyway, you don't panic.

New to JAMstack? Everything You Need to Know to Get Started
When we first wrote this post, the JAMstack ecosystem was still in its infancy. That was +/- 4 years ago. I remember talking with the Netlify founders back then. They had just come up with the term "JAMstack" to work around the negative connotation of "static web" and were asking if we would help to promote it.
