AngularJS

Sain tehtäväksi tehdä käyttöliittymän tabletille. Valitsimme toteutukseksi AngularJS kirjaston. Se on saanut ristiriitaisen arvion, ainakin mikäli lukee keskustelupalstoja.[1] Tilastojen mukaan sen käyttö on kuitenkin lisääntynyt tasaisesti. [2]

Vaikka olin tehnyt pienempiä kokeiluja Angularilla jo ennenkin, ensimmäisenä lähdin etsimään hyvää guideline miten Angularilla tehdään hyvää koodia. Yksi suositumpia guidelineja on John Papan, josta löytyy jopa oma kurssi Pluralsightista. Päätin ottaa sen käyttöön. Huomioitavaa siinä on mm. controllerAs tyylin käyttäminen sekä kaiken ylimääräisen (mm. taustapalvelukutsujen) siirtäminen pois controllereista.

Käytin myös jonkin verran directivejä. Directiveillä voi tehdä DOM puusta helpommin luettavaa semanttisessa mielessä. Huomioita piti kiinnittää siihen, että nämä toimivat kontekstista riippumatta jos käyttää useita templateja.

AngularJS sanotaan myös verrattain hitaaksi johtuen clienttipuolen HTML templatejen parsimisesta ja digest syklistä. Se varmaan pitääkin paikkansa johonkin toiseen frameworkiin verrattuna (ReactJS?). Toisaalta se että siitä tulisi merkityksellistä vaatii melko suositun ja monipuolisen webbiapplikaation. Varmasti joillakin vanhemmilla puhelimilla tai tableteilla voi olla joitakin ongelmia mutta vaikeaa nähdä todellista ongelmaa itse frameworkissa. Itse en ainakaan muutaman vuoden vanhalla tabletilla havainnut mitään ongelmia tämän suhteen.

Keskusteluissa usein puhutaan uudesta 2.0 versiosta. Ihmetystä on joissakin herättänyt se miten suuria muutoksia frameworkiin on tulossa. Mielestäni major version ei pidäkään olla taaksepäin yhteensopiva. Otan vastaan mielenkiinnolla perustavaa laatua olevat muutokset kuten controllereiden poistaminen ja komponentit

Edit 23.9

I'm not a passionate developer

A family friend of mine is an airlane pilot. A dream job for most, right? As a child, I certainly thought so. Now that I can have grown-up talks with him, I have discovered a more accurate description of his profession. He says that the truth about the job is that it is boring. To me, that is not that surprising. Airplanes are cool and all, but when you are in the middle of the Atlantic sitting next to the colleague you have been talking to past five years, how stimulating can that be? When he says the job is boring, it is not a bad kind of boring. It is a very specific boring. The "boring" you would want as a passenger. Uneventful.  Yet, he loves his job. According to him, an experienced pilot is most pleased when each and every tiny thing in the flight plan - goes according to plan. Passengers in the cabin of an expert pilot sit in the comfort of not even noticing who is flying. As someone employed in a field where being boring is not exactly in high demand, this sounds pro...

Canyon Precede:ON 7

I bought or technically leased a Canyon Precede:ON 7 (2022) electric bike last fall. This post is about my experiences with it after riding for about 2000 km this winter. The season was a bit colder than usual, and we had more snow than in years, so I properly put the bike through its paces. I've been cycling for almost 20 years. I've never owned a car nor used public transport regularly. I pedal all distances below 30km in all seasons. Besides commuting, I've mountain biked and raced BMX, and I still actively ride my road bike during the spring and summer months. I've owned a handful of bikes and kept them until their frames failed. Buying new bikes or gear has not been a major part of my hobby, and frankly, I'm quite sceptical about the benefits of updating bikes or gear frequently. I've never owned an E-bike before, but I've rented one a couple of times. The bike arrived in a hilariously large box. I suppose there's no need to worry about damage durin...

Emit structured Postgres data change events with wal2json

A common thing I see in an enterprise system is that when an end-user does some action, say add a user, the underlying web of subsystems adds the user to multiple databases in separate transactions. Each of these transactions may happen in varying order and, even worse, can fail, leaving the system in an inconsistent state. A better way could be to write the user data to some main database and then other subsystems like search indexes, pull/push the data to other interested parties, thus eliminating the need for multiple end-user originating boundary transactions. That's the theory part; how about a technical solution. The idea of this post came from the koodia pinnan alla podcast about event-driven systems and CDC . One of the discussion topics in the show is emitting events from Postgres transaction logs.  I built an utterly simple change emitter and reader using Postgres with the wal2json transaction decoding plugin and a custom go event parser. I'll stick to the boring ...
