Branca as an Alternative to JWT❓🔐

Branca is a catchy name for IETF XChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD message with an additional version number and timestamp.🕒

It is well suited to be used as an authenticated and encrypted API token. 👥

Branca specification does not specify the payload format. Among others you can use for example JWT payloads but still have modern encryption and smaller token size provided by Branca. ⚡️

Currently there are implemenations for JavaScript, Elixir, Go and PHP and a command line tool for creating and inspecting tokens. ✨

Heads up❗️JWT itself is the payload part of a larger standard called Javascript Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE). That said the term JWT has become ubiquitous when actually referring JSON Web Signature (JWS) or JSON Web Encryption (JWE). 🔑

Branca is based on Fernet specification. 💎

Fernet takes an user provided message, a secret key and the current time and generates an Authenticated Encrypted (AE) token. Authenticated encryption specifies a way to secure a message so that a 3rd party cannot fake it, alter it nor read it. 🌀

Saving Grandma's Recipes With Xamarin.Forms 👵🏻

When creating mobile apps, you have to create and maintain the user interface and app logic for both iOS and Android separately 🤕 : Objective-C/Swift with XCode and Java with Android Studio. 🤯

That can quickly turn into a pain. With Xamarin.Forms, however, the UI and app logic for your app resides in a single codebase and you get to use a single IDE to maintain it all — saving time and headaches. ✅

In this article, take a lap around Xamarin.Forms to see what it can do for you.💎

My grandma makes the best, most fluffiest, go weak-in-your-knees buns that anybody has ever tasted.😋

The problem is, there’s a ton of secret ingredients (and I’m not just talking love) that go into those buns, and those ingredients and directions are all stored in my grandma’s head. 🤦🏻‍♂️

We all have family recipes like that, and instead of possibly forgetting them, in this article we’re going to create a mobile app for iOS and Android using Xamarin.Forms that will save them for myself and future generations of my family! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

What Happened When I Peeked Into My Node_Modules Directory 🤯

The left-pad fiasco shook the JavaScript community to its core when a rouge developer removed a popular module from npm, causing tens of projects to go dark. ❌

While code bloat continues to slow down our websites, drain our batteries, and make “npm install” slow for a few seconds, many developers like myself have decided to carefully audit the dependencies we bring into our projects. 🌀

It’s time we as a community stand up and say enough is enough, this community belongs to all of us, not just a handful of JavaScript developers with great hair. 👥

I decided to document my experiences in auditing my projects’ dependencies, and I hope you find the following information useful. ✅

Objects Should Be Immutable 🤫

In object-oriented programming, an object is immutable if its state can’t be modified after it is created. 🤞🏻

In Java/C#, a good example of an immutable object is String.✅
Once created, we can’t modify its state. We can request that it creates new strings, but its own state will never change. ❌

However, there are not so many immutable classes in JDK. Take, for example, class Date. It is possible to modify its state using setTime(). 🕒

This is an incomplete list of arguments in favor of immutability ⚡️:

• Immutable objects are simpler to construct, test, and use
• Truly immutable objects are always thread-safe
• They help to avoid temporal coupling
• Their usage is side-effect free (no defensive copies)
• Identity mutability problem is avoided
• They always have failure atomicity
• They are much easier to cache
• They prevent NULL references, which are bad

Let’s discuss the most important arguments one by one. 🌀

Pose 👥

Replace any .NET method (including static and non-virtual) with a delegate. 💎

It is similar to Microsoft Fakes but unlike it Pose is implemented entirely in managed code (Reflection Emit API).✨

Everything occurs at runtime and in-memory, no unmanaged Profiling APIs and no file system pollution with re-written assemblies.⚡️


Example Usage 🔥:

Shim static property getter ⏱:

Shim dateTimeShim = Shim.Replace(() => DateTime.Now).With(() => new DateTime(2004, 4, 4));


Usage 👾:

// This block executes immediately
PoseContext.Isolate(() =>
{
// All code that executes within this block
// is isolated and shimmed methods are replaced

// Outputs "4/4/04 12:00:00 AM"
Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now);
}, dateTimeShim);

Boost Your Vue.js Workflow With Vue CLI 3 ⚡️

We can hardly imagine modern web development without the help of Command-Line Interface (CLI) tools. 💻

They tremendously facilitate and speed up the development workflow by reducing the amount of repetitive and tedious tasks. ✅

Setting up a project manually, with all the linting, building, testing, preprocessing, optimizing, and dependency tracking features, doesn't sound like a fun job, does it❓

That's why all modern client-side development frameworks (such as Angular, React, etc.) offer their own version of CLI tools, and Vue.js is no exception. 💎

But with its latest third version, Vue CLI is going one step ahead of the others. ✨

It's now not only highly powerful and flexible, but also comes with a full-blown GUI. 🌈

Yeah, you heard right. Vue CLI 3 offers a full graphical user interface out of the box. 🌀

Domain Driven Design - Clear Your Concepts Before You Start ✨

What we traditionally do when we start a business application❓

We read the spec and find the functionalities. We break down tasks. ✅

We do the estimation. We distribute the works among team members. We design the database schema - sometimes by the team leader or sometimes by the respective developer. We start coding. 💻

So❓ What’s wrong with this approach❓We have been doing good❗️Don’t we❓

The answer is YES and NO❗️Yes we are doing good in delivering our projects. But NO❗️
We are not doing good in maintaining and extending our projects. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Think about all of the projects you have worked last few years in the traditional approach. Did you ever face any of the issues below ? 🤔

Your project has the same functionality implemented in the same way or different in different places. 👥

You have more than one object for the same item. ❌

You have objects that have properties that are not actually attributes of that object. 🙅🏻‍♂️

You have no or very poor relationship among related items. ↔️

Looking at your objects it is not possible to understand what actually the whole application is all about. 🤷🏻‍♂️
