The war between JavaScript frameworks and, respectively their users, is still active. Abhay Srivastav shared with us why he prefers Vue over React in his interesting article "Why I Chose Vue over React".
This week "React is on Hooks". Everybody is talking, and writing about it. You can, for example, take a look at "Using React Hooks To Create Awesome Forms" by Rajat S and learn more about this technique.
Angular developers, on the other hand, have an opportunity to learn "How to use Axios with JavaScript" with Paul Halliday.
Finally, we are recommending "Pure JavaScript Functions as a Replacement for Lodash" by "RC" because we strongly believe that pure JavaScript is the way to go whenever it's possible.

Real-Time Interaction Between Maps with Socket.io and JavaScript
I was doing some thinking recently. I was thinking how I could make maps more useful than just displaying visual content on the screen when requested. While displaying map information on a screen is useful in many circumstances, it doesn't make for the most exciting of examples.

JavaScript
Using flatMap in ES2019
Since it's already April, looks like it's time to start talking about the new JavaScript standard, ES2019. This new JS standard includes a few interesting extras but nothing too dramatic. The most interesting new addition is called flatMap, and though it may not be revolutionary, it is quite useful in many situations.

Ben Nadel draws inspiration from the Alligator.io website and partakes in a fun code kata in which he defaults the theme of an Angular application based on the user's local time-of-day. This allows the CSS theme to default to "dark" when the Angular application is being accessed outside of working hours.

Ben Nadel demonstrates how to create a custom ControlValueAccessor that targets File Inputs (type="file") and synchronizes File references with the view-model using NgModel in Angular 7.2.12. This is in contrast to the default value-accessor, which only synchronizes the "value" property of the File Input.

Axios is an open source library that allows us to easily make HTTP requests. It's effectively just fetch with extra superpowers! Let's see this in action by creating a new HTML5 project: NOTE: Axios can also be added via a CDN like so: As you may be able to see from our npm install calls, we'll be using Parcel to bundle and serve our code.

Unit vs E2E Testing for Vue.js
Writing tests when developing Vue.js apps can save you a lot of time which would be otherwise spent fixing bugs. The bigger and more complex your app gets, the truer this becomes. There are two types of tests that are commonly performed for web applications: unit tests and end-to-end (E2E) tests.

You don't need Lodash or How I started loving JavaScript functions

Let's try to find the first element in a collection that satisfies a condition So, this is a very simple example and let's investigate the performance of both these functions: You can inspect the benchmark code and play with variations using the playground below: This is not to conclude that native functions are always performant over their Lodash counterparts.
