Switched to React Query for API Handling

If your applications run on Express.js (and millions do), this blog is worth your time. This breakdown covers: - Supported versions and timelines - What EOL actually means for your risk posture - Migration paths and blockers - Options for long‑term support https://lnkd.in/dd2hJ8NE #Nodejs #Express #JavaScript #EOL

REST API Best Practices Every Dev Needs Building APIs that won't haunt you at 2AM 🔥 Here are 5 patterns that separate good devs from great ones: 1️⃣ Use nouns, not verbs — /users not /getUsers 2️⃣ Version your API — /api/v1/ saves future headaches 3️⃣ Plural resource names — /products not /product 4️⃣ Always HTTPS — never expose APIs over plain HTTP 5️⃣ Rate limit everything — protect from abuse And please… return the right status codes. 400 ≠ 500 🙏 A well-designed API is like a good joke — if you have to explain it, it's not that good. Save this for your next project! 🔖 #RestAPI #WebDevelopment #BackendDev #NodeJS #APIDesign #JavaScript #SoftwareEngineering #TechTips

🚀 Just published a new React package: table-components-react A lightweight and customizable table component built for modern React applications. Designed to simplify data rendering while keeping flexibility for real-world use cases. ✨ Highlights: • Easy to integrate • Customizable columns & data • Clean and reusable components • Developer-friendly API Check it out on npm: https://lnkd.in/dcvj9X-V Feedback and contributions are welcome! #ReactJS #npm #opensource #frontend #javascript

Real Example (in Frontend + Backend terms): What actually happens when you click “Login” You enter email & password → click login Frontend (React/Angular) → sends request Backend (ASP.NET Core API) → receives it Backend → checks database Database → verifies user Backend → sends response Frontend → shows success / error That’s the full flow we build as full-stack developers. Once this clicks, backend, APIs, debugging—all start making more sense. Tomorrow → what exactly the API is doing in this flow (simple breakdown) #DotNet #FullStackDevelopment #AspNetCore #Frontend #Backend #WebDevelopment #APIDesign #DeveloperLife #CodingJourney #TechExplained #LearnInPublic

To improve your front-end skills, search for "public APIs" on Google, choose a topic that interests you, and create a basic layout to show the data from the API. This is a simple way to begin using data from an external source and will help you learn important front-end skills. #frontend #frontenddeveloper #api JavaScript Mastery w3schools.com #javascript

Mistake #2: I treated state like a storage layer. If I needed a value, I stored it. Even when it could be calculated from existing data. At first, it felt convenient. Later, it became a mess. Now I had to keep multiple states in sync. One small change, and something else broke. The shift was simple, but powerful: State should be minimal. Everything else should be derived. If a value can be computed, don’t store it. This reduced bugs more than any library ever did for me. Follow for Day 3.

Unhandled promise rejections swallow errors without a trace. One missing 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵 in a hot path can leave your app running in a broken state — no crash, no log, no clue. Why this works: 🔹 Fail fast — don't let the process limp in a broken state 🔹 Log before exit — full context for post-mortem 🔹 Let your process manager (𝗣𝗠𝟮, 𝗘𝗖𝗦 tasks, or container orchestration) restart clean — that's what they're for A dead process is recoverable. A zombie one silently corrupts everything around it. #NodeJS #JavaScript #BackendEngineering #AWS

Next.js is no longer just a frontend framework. It is becoming a full-stack system. What has changed: • Server Components reduce client-side JavaScript • Built-in data fetching simplifies architecture • API routes eliminate the need for a separate backend (in many cases) Common mistake: • Treating Next.js like traditional React What we focus on: • Moving logic closer to the server • Reducing unnecessary client complexity • Designing around data flow, not components Learning: Modern frameworks are shifting architecture, not just syntax. #nextjs #react #fullstack #webdevelopment #Developers #architecture #engineering

🚨 Stop Calling the Same API Twice (React + NestJS Developers) One of the most common mistakes I still see: 👉 Fetching data on the server (SSR) 👉 AND calling the same API again on the client (useEffect) This leads to: ❌ Duplicate API calls ❌ Slower performance ❌ Increased backend load ❌ Wasted SSR benefits 💡 The correct approach: If data is already fetched on the server: ✔️ Pass it as props / initial state ✔️ Hydrate it on the client ✔️ Avoid unnecessary re-fetch Only call APIs on the client when: 🔹 Data needs refresh 🔹 User interaction happens (filters, search, pagination) 🔹 Real-time updates are required ⚡ Pro Tip: Use tools like React Query / SWR with initialData and staleTime to control re-fetching intelligently. 📊 At scale, this mistake can DOUBLE your API load. Don’t just make it work — make it efficient. #ReactJS #NestJS #WebPerformance #FullStackDevelopment #BestPractices #SoftwareEngineering #Peregrine

you upgraded to React 20. suddenly your code breaks. defaultProps is gone. string refs throw errors. you're migrating code from 2018. welcome to the cleanup. why it breaks: React 20 removes patterns deprecated since React 16. defaultProps on function components, string refs (ref="myRef"), legacy context API — all gone. if your code still uses these, React 20 errors immediately. run npx @react-codemod/cli react-20 to auto-migrate. #reactjs #typescript #webdevelopment #buildinpublic #react20
