Programing requires you to frequently use the terminal to perform many actions. The default terminal is just plain ordinary and doesn’t help you at all with limited information and blant design. Zsh also known as Z Shell is a shell built on top of the default shell for macOS(bash). Zsh has huge number of features and when combined with iterm it becomes a beast for programming and...
For those who don’t know what svelte is, it’s a component framework similar to React or Vue. It’s faster, reactive and has less boilerplate. Svelte runs at build time, converting your components into highly efficient imperative code that surgically updates the DOM. As a result, you’re able to write ambitious applications with excellent performance characteristics...

Motivation I always get annoyed with the fact that almost every project you do on React usually needs Redux for state management and you need lot of boilerplate code for redux to work, with types, actions, actionCreators, reducers. And on top of that if we want to handle side effects we take the obvious choice redux-sagas. As we keep on adding new libraries and middleware, the amount of code you...

This is a multi-part series of articles where I am going to show you how we can leverage the power of styled-components and styled-system to create reusable, efficient components. We are in components age of Frontend. We can relate a component to lego. Similar to legos we can have small reusable components that can be attached to build bigger components which can be further combined with other...
It might be unusual for new react developers or some experienced developers to see this explained. When we start learning react and start exploring how powerful it is. We consider this.setState as a very simple thing to understand and we don’t look deep into it. Most of us fell into that trap, resulting in unpredictable component state. Here are some of the common pitfalls that causes this. this...
Learn by practical example If you are learning react or already know the basics of react, you must have come across a term called Higher Order Component (HOC). It is one of the most interesting and powerful ways to build a component. Although the concept is very common, most of the examples are ambiguous and don’t provide enough insights on how to practically use it on a project. So, today I am...
