Through the binary

I use react-hook-form for both web and react native without a single problem. Great library. When using react-hook-form v6. I encountered an issue where the validation works perfectly in code, but in test, the errors object is always empty even for wrong value. Let’s see how to solve it. In this blog, I will demostrate how to test react-hook-form with react-native-testing-library for both iOS and Android within one test through jest-expo, and yes, we will use jest as the test runner.

Recent in my side-project. I’ve got an interesting requirement. I’ve a React Hook function useRxQuery(queryFunc) for getting data from RxDB. It takes a simple query function queryFunc as the argument takes an RxDB instance, and returns with data. Inside the hook, it does the preparation, executes that query function queryFunc, and returns the data: T.

So, how to auto-type the ReturnType<> of the hook function useRxQuery, such that whatever return from that query function queryFunc should be taken as the return type of the function useRxQuery automatically.

Let’s solve it with the infer keyword in Typescript, and you can make your code much more robust in the future.

I created a universal app with Expo for native mobile and web. It works wonderfully. I think a monorepo for local code sharing should efficient than publishing to a private package to Github registry (It works like a charm though).

I thought it’s just a 5 min setup. But I was wrong… Still very easy though. In this blog, we will use monorepo to share code between the backend(Serverless framework) and frontend(Expo).

I always try my best to introduce less overhead and less dependencies to solve a problem.

Our goals

• Yarn only without lerna: Less overhead. And We do not need lerna
• Yarn version: v1.22.4
• Typescript support for all three modules
• I just want to focus on coding without worrying about building pipeline
• No no no, no Babel, that’ll introduce loads of dev-dependencies, I want a clean tree.
• I will show you how to use as well

If you have ever receive this warning from the log of your lambda,

WARNING: Callback/response already delivered. Did your function invoke the callback and also return a promise? For more details, see: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/nodejs-prog-model-handler.html

I got this when implementing Cognito lambda trigger of the PreSignUp step.

Let’s see how to solve it.

Serverless framework is an awesome tool for AWS lambda. For a new project, if you have seen this warning when deploying:

Warned - no cfnRole set:
Require the cfnRole option, which specifies a particular role for CloudFormation to assume while deploying.

It is a typical permission problem, let’s see how to solve it.

It has something to do with the next.config.js.

Most of the SaaS sites has a similar pattern, marketing pages, pages after login. Marketing pages may or may not share elements in terms of the layout, but the pages after login will share something like sub-nav, top nav, modules, things like that. I use React outer v5 with Typescript. It is easy, but it took some time.

Graphql Shield is a nice library to centralize your authorization rules. But how to use it with Apollo Server? Let’s see. For example, what about I want to do authorization according to the information in JWT?

I love the new hooks from redux-react. It simplify things a lot. Let’s see how to test it.
TBH, the solutions can be applied to any react hooks.

Apollo local cache (InMemoryCache) works super great, but recently I have a problem with it, the UI re-renders when updating the cache after a GraphQL mutation, but not after I calling a traditional REST api and try to update the cache directly. The intention is simple, I want to update the local cache directly and re-render the UI. Let’s see how to solve it.
