Navigating the module maze: history of JavaScript module systems

JavaScript was designed to handle uncomplicated scripting tasks that we know from everyday life - handling events, updating content, etc. However, nowadays we write huge and complex apps in JS. This distinction between initial design and current usage is a root cause of a lot of frustration in the JS community. Let’s look at one of these causes of frustration and confusion: modules. Modules were one of those topics which I've never felt like I fully grasped. I knew about ESM and CJS, the differences between them, and some history.

CSS vs. SCSS variables — main differences and use cases

This isn't going to be an article about the latest hot new feature. Both CSS and SCSS variables have been around for a long time. SCSS introduced variables in version 2.0 of SASS, released in 2010, and in CSS you’ve been able to use them since CSS3, all the way back in 1999. That being said, these are still powerful tools that can be used to complement each other. Let's talk about the similarities, differences and possible use cases. CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It is a scripting language used to design and style web pages.

Angular component state management — how to do it with RxAngular and NgRx

State management is already a well-established concept in programming but that does not mean it’s a done deal. Widely used in commercial applications, the concept is still evolving and new ideas are still being developed. In this article, I’m going to focus on web applications built with Angular, however some concepts may be similar and applicable to other frontend frameworks for software development. Let’s begin with a quick reminder about the evolution of state handling in web apps. Around 2015, when the Redux concept was introduced, the only state was the global state app.

How to build masonry layout in 5 minutes?

Have you ever heard of the so-called masonry layout, as seen on Pinterest? In short, it consists of elements of unequal size stacked one after the other in the direction of the line. As they move to the next line, the items will move into the gaps left by the smaller items in the previous line. Preparing this type of layout is not a simple task. In 2010, David DeSandro implemented the 'Masonry' library to create this type of layout (Masonry library). However, the implementation of this layout is pretty complicated.

Enzyme vs React Testing Library — what to choose?

When developers work on frontend applications, there is a lot of manual testing of written code, to make sure that everything works well in the UI. This process is time-consuming, and we want to make sure that after we finish the work on the feature, it behaves as expected - this is where tests come into play. This article will compare two popular component testing tools for React applications - Enzyme and React Testing Library. At the end of 2015, EnzymeJS was released to the public and started getting traction immediately.

Axios vs. Fetch API — which is better for HTTP requests?

Whether making a network request for cat photos or network latency data, we need a tool that allows us to perform such operations. Retrieving or modifying API data from a server is a vital part of most web applications. Use cases include: loading user information, receiving updates from the server,and many, many more. In this article, we'll compare two of the most widely-used options for making HTTP requests - Axios and Fetch. If you've worked with JavaScript lately, there's a good chance you worked with Axios.
