70-562 ListView


List View is a versatile control that allows to work with a signle control rather than many smaller controls.
Provides rich sorting, deleting, editing, it is one of the most flexible grid control.
Design view can fill the ListView with fake data to give an overview.
In designer, the configure list view link might not show, (currently a bug), to fix configure the datasource but cancel then click configure datasource again and this time click finish and the Cofnoigure ListView link will show up in the smarttag.
You can choose templates, LayoutTemplate is crucial, ItemTemplate(a row is part of a table, in a list view they are called items since they don't have to correspond to a table row), AlternatingItemTemplate, ItemSeparatorTemplate, SelectedItem, EmptyItemTemplate, EditItemTemplate, InsertItemTemplate allows to customize what the user will be presented when creating an item, EmptyDataTemplate.
The itemPlaceHolder and the groupPlaceHolder are important elements as the will be replaced by each row of data in the format provided in the corresponding templates.
The tiled layout uses the GroupTemplate, this is done with the GroupItemCount of the ListView, this says 3 tiles wide.
To insert a new item at run time, the list view need to be configured to do so, the insert is placed in the end of the grid by default but can be configured in the list view element to be at the top of the grid.
The bind explicit method allows to perform 2 way, instead of Eval that is only one way.

Rxjs Forkjoin vs Zip

These Rxjs combination operators are handy to make Rest calls in parallel and combine their results. Both take n observables and will return the results, with the difference that forkJoin will complete even if one of the nested observables errors of completes.

React JS Patterns

React JS is always evolving, and evolving quickly. These evolutions can be very significant ones, for example, the addition of hooks. React has a lot of code patterns, often these patterns are motivated by the DRY and/or the open-close principle. These patterns sometimes come in to replace a previous one, yet the previous ones still stays in use, as a consequence, the list of patterns keep growing. The goal of the next few posts will be to list the patterns commonly used in React JS developpement. Some patterns are more specific to JSX and I will start with these, and maybe add patterns specific to Redux.

Javascript: Closure and Lexical Scope

The two are separate topics, I just happen to put them in the same post for now. Closure Closure is the capability to remember it's lexical scope, even when executed outside it's lexical scope. If two inner functions, are within the same scope, they share the same closure.     Lexical scope The lexical scope is the scope in which a variable is declared during the first pass of the javascript compilation, which has two passes, compilation and execution. During the compilation pass, the compiler goes through the code looking for formal declaration, that is, var, function and parameters of function. For each of these formal declarations, the compiler will check the current lexical scope, and add this identifier if it isn't already there. Then at the second pass, execution, the compiler will run the code as we are intuitively use to and once it reaches the the identifiers found earlier, will ask if they are left hand side(RHS), or right hand side (LHS). If th...
