Deno: Standard Libraries Overview

Deno comes with a set of standard libraries to help developers and make their lives easier. I felt it is inspired by languages like Go and Python. Despite being pretty young Deno's standard library is pretty extensive. These libraries are Deno-approved and don’t have any other external dependencies.

List of Deno’s standard libraries:

archive tar archive utilities
async async utilities
bytes helpers to manipulate bytes slices
datetime date/time parsing
encoding encoding/decoding for various formats
flags parse command-line flags
fmt formatting and printing
fs file system API
hash crypto lib
http HTTP server
io I/O lib
log logging utilities
mime support for multipart data
node Node.js compatibility layer
path path manipulation
ws websockets

In the upcoming blog posts, we will dig deeper into these standard libraries. We will use some of the core libraries and see how they help developers to build apps faster and easier.

Thanks for reading. If you have some feedback, please reach out to me on Twitter or Github.

Track stock market information right in your Terminal.

Introduction: As a developer, I love working with the terminal. The plain, simple, and in my opinion the best way to interact with the computer (also it makes you look geeky). I spent most of my time in the terminal. By now you must have guessed I am a huge fan of the terminal and terminal-based applications. Recently I developed an interest in stock markets and started tracking the stock markets. Since I love working with the terminal I decided to build a terminal oriented application that can help me to track the stock market. Inspir e d by wttr.in I build terminal-stocks which can provide the stock's current prices, historical prices, and global market summary. How to use terminal-stocks terminal-stocks is available and can be used without installation. Get the current price of the stock. curl terminal-stocks.dev/ITC.NS Current price of stocks You need to provide the ticker of the stock and terminal-stocks will give you the price information of the stock. terminal-st

Setting up Nginx as a reverse proxy for Node.js App

Okay.. but what is a reverse proxy? A reverse proxy is a web server that centralizes internal services and provides unified interfaces to the public. Requests from clients are forwarded to a server that can fulfill it before the reverse proxy returns the server’s response to the client. Nginx is a popular choice to use as a reverse proxy for your node.js application. Got it. Now let’s set up Nginx Let’s say your nodejs server is running locally on localhost:3000. We will set up Nginx to get the request and forward the request to our nodejs server. Ins t alling Nginx on ubuntu sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nginx Configure Nginx Disable the default, virtual host unlink /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default 2. Create a configuration file cd /etc/nginx/sites-available sudo nano reverse-proxy.conf 3. Put the following content in the file server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; access_log /var/log/nginx/reverse-access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/reverse-e

Terraform: Understanding Desired & Current State

In this post, we will learn in detail what is terraform desired and current state. Terraform’s responsibility is to create/update/destroy infrastructure resources to match the desired state as described in the configuration. Desired State: For example: If our desired state is as below resource "aws_instance" "myec2" { ami = "ami-0ca285d4c2cda3300" instance_type = "t2.medium" } This should result in an AWS EC2 t2.medium instance. The code you saw above is the desired state that we want. Current State: The current state is the actual state of a resource that is deployed. For example: If our desired state is as below resource "aws_instance" "myec2" { ami = "ami-0ca285d4c2cda3300" instance_type = "t2.medium" } our desired state is t2.medium instance but let’s say the current instance running is t2.micro. So it means our desired state and the current state is not matching. Try it out
