We’re using a small performance optimization in our code bases: caching computation results in local variables. Saving results in a local variable is borrowed from the memoization technique. Memoizing values improves the performance of function execution by storing the results and reusing them for a function call. This tutorial …

When writing code, you eventually want or need to change existing implementation. Changing existing code can have side effects for the application and you may need to refactor parts of the project which you didn’t plan to touch. Yet, it’s necessary to move forward and sunset old versions …

We’re building a Vue.js application for a client project. This Vue.js app uses the useFetch composable from VueUse. This composable uses the browser’s fetch to send requests to a given URL and handle the responses. We wanted to integrate handling in the Vue.js app to …

MySQL supports dates and date times as column types. It’s a nice way to keep track of when things happen or should happen. Working with dates and times can be hard, but adding days to a date time column value isn’t. This tutorial shows you how to add …

We recently ran into a challenge with a database design. The database schema includes multiple tables. The tables have foreign key references between each other. One of the tables uses a column that contains a comma-separated list of values where each value is a reference to a row in a …

In the previous Future Studio tutorial, we looked into the details of what’s Symbol.iterator in JavaScript. Symbol.iterator is a global constant for the @@iterator property used by JavaScript’s iteration protocol. When looping through an iterable, for example, an array, JavaScript looks for the @@iterator property that …

Template literates in JavaScript are delimited with backticks and allow you to create string interpolation and multi-line strings. A multi-line string with template literals is convenient because you can add words and line breaks without concatenating strings using a + across lines. A downside of multi-line strings in template literals: it …

JavaScript has support for iteration protocols. These iteration protocols aren’t built-in implementations, but protocols outlining the convention that an implementation needs to follow. The Iteration protocol allows custom JavaScript objects to provide iteration behavior, for example how they provide values when looping over them in a for…of loop. …
