TypeScript has been a really trending thing when it comes to JavaScript and Node development and there are lot of reasons why. In this article, I am going let you know some good things which I have seen and experienced during development.

The image tag has been with us since the beginning of HTML. I am sure, stats can prove that it is one of the most used tag cross web. There is a famous saying that “A picture is worth a thousand word”. And the world wide web is full of images. However, not much was done to the image tag from what it was 10 years back right? According to Next JS, 50% of total bytes on the web is taken by Images only.

In search for a good framework in Node, I have been huting for quite some time now. Have worked with quite a few popular minimalistic frameworks, however I always felt I wanted something more from them. And, hence I was looking for something similar to Laravel - a framework that I love. And, then I found Adonis.

Some time back, I saw a Tweet which caught my attention – Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) version 2. Now, Microsoft has been investing a lot in open source recently and Visual Studio Code is one big example of that along with GitHub. And, when I looked at two keywords in one tweet “Windows” and “Linux”, it caught my attention. After reading about the new feature WSL 2, it forced me to try out Windows as my development machine. In this article, I will try to share my experience on trying out Microsoft Windows again after using Linux and Mac for almost 4 to 5 years now as my primary development machine.

Laravel Livewire is a new package developed by Caleb Porzio which really changes the approach of how you do front end development. It is a composer package which allows you to create components in PHP which are reactive as well similar to Vue or React. The entire component code is inside PHP and blade files but you get a feeling of and SPA. Initially, everything will look very magical as you are writing only PHP code but getting JavaScript behaviour.

In one of my recent projects, I wanted to set up a process where my code is checked for code formatting and unit tests are executed automatically before the code is pushed to the git repository. In this article, I am going to share how I used two npm packages “husky” and “lint-staged” to achieve this.

Webhooks are a great way to communicate with different applications. For example, Payment platforms like Stripe or Paypal will allow you to receive data for transactions through webhooks.

Similarly, you may also have applications which need to send certain information from your Laravel application to some other application and that's where this wonderful package can be very handy.

Working with IDEs can for sure speed up our development, but using Text Editors for sure has some advantages which help us in long-term. They not only help us understand the code much better but also helps us develop some good habits of coding. In this blog post, I will share my experience on how I gained a lot of inside knowledge while I was using Sublime text as my text editor during development instead of any powerful IDE.

In this tutorial, I will show you a wonderful package which helps us get JS validations on forms…

Have a clean controller and shift your entire validation and authorization logic to a separate…
