🎉 TypeScript Learning Experience 🎉 I'm excited to share how TypeScript has continued to help me in my learning journey as a developer. 💻 Recently, while working on a project, I ran into a challenge: dealing with 'any' types. 🙅 The TypeScript errors - like error TS7006 - were an annoyance. Here's how TypeScript stepped in to help: ✅ By specifying the types for my parameters, I was able to resolve those 'any' type issues effectively. ✅ Writing interfaces for data structures improved my code's organization and readability. ✅ Catching type-related errors early saves me time and frustration in the long run. ✅ TypeScript's strictness nudged me to write cleaner and more maintainable code. TypeScript has been super helpful, nudging me towards best practices and helping me become a more thoughtful developer. 👨💻📚 #TypeScript #LearningToCode #JavaScript #CodingJourney #WebDevelopment

🚀 Frontend Learning Journey! Recently delved into optimizing data fetching in React using react-query! 💡 Key takeaways: 1️⃣ retry: 3: Automatic retries for failed queries. 2️⃣ cacheTime: 300_000: Cache data for 5 mins. 3️⃣ staleTime: 10 * 1000: Identify stale data after 10 secs. Plus, disabled unnecessary refetches: 4️⃣ refetchOnWindowFocus, refetchOnReconnect, refetchOnMount: false. Excited to apply this knowledge in upcoming projects! #frontenddeveloper #reactjs #reactquery #webdevelopment

I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: React 18 for Beginners from Code With Mosh!

🚀 Just launched a new feature! 🚀 I'm excited to share that I've built a Platform Selector component using React and Chakra UI! 🎉 The dropdown menu lets users select their preferred platform from a list of options. Thanks to the power of custom hooks, data is fetched seamlessly. 💻📊 #ReactJS #ChakraUI #WebDevelopment #CustomHooks #FrontEndDevelopment #JavaScript #TypeScript

🚀 Optimization in my Game-Hub React app! ⚡ Boosts webpage load time! ⏩🖼️ 💡 I focused on optimizing the page load times by reducing the size of the images without compromising on quality. To enhance user experience, I implemented getCroppedImageUrl function, which dynamically generates smaller, cropped image URLs (600x400 aspect ratio) for the game images. 📱 This simple yet effective tweak improves loading speed and reduces data consumption. #React #TypeScript #GameHub #WebOptimization #FastLoadTimes #JavaScript

🎨 Introducing Dark Mode for my App! 🌙 Easily switch between Light and Dark mode with just a tap, thanks to Chakra UI's seamless integration. 🌟 Dark Mode reduces eye strain, improves battery life on certain devices, and offers a visually appealing alternative for night browsing. 🌃 Experience a more comfortable browsing experience, day or night! #DarkMode #ChakraUI #UserExperience #JavaScript #WebDevelopment

📢 JavaScript Developers! 🎯 Want cleaner syntax for handling HTTP requests? Consider using Axios for seamless API calls! 🌐 💡 Axios (left) offers a more concise and elegant way to manage HTTP requests, eliminating the need for manual try-catch blocks (right). 🎯 ⚙️ Simplify your code and focus on what matters most - building amazing applications! 🌟 #JavaScript #FullStackDeveloper #Axios #WebDevelopment #API #CodeRefresher

🚀 Just learned how to implement validation using React Hook Form and Zod! 💡 With React Hook Form and Zod, form validation effective! 🛡️ The schema object sets rules for the fields, ensuring user inputs meet the required criteria. If validation fails, error messages guide users. ✅ #ReactHookForm #Zod #FormValidation #FrontendDevelopment #ReactJS #WebDevelopment #Coding #Developer #TechCommunity #LearnToCode Happy coding! 🚀💻 Check out this ExpenseForm component I created:
