Fire and forget template for C#/.NET to run something that you don't need to wait on and don't care about the results.

In ReactJS, if ESLint says you cannot use inline arrow functions to pass in props in JSX, a solution is to wrap them with the useCallback hook.

Modals — can be used to add dialog or popup info boxes on your ReactJS app.

So using this library actually helped me solve my Azure Application Insights logging issue. The issue being, since I had a dateOfBirth object in my formData object, app insights would save it as an object, as opposed to something like dateOfBirth: 2024-04-16. The solution was to flatten the formData object so it will get logged properly in Azure App Insights.

To cause Azure to keep sending emails repeatedly for your Heath Check alerts, you need to uncheck the checkbox that says “Automatically Resolve Alerts”.

If you want to see what kind of error Axios throws, it is better to use console.log(error.toJSON()) than console.log(error). That's because the former option will list out all the properties from the error variable, while the latter option will only list out the error message itself.

Instead of adding todo comments, track it as a task so it doesn't get lost.

Looking for a new way to do end-to-end testing on modern web apps? Check out Playwright. The tests are pretty easy to follow because it's basically a set of instructions written in code. So as you might have guessed, it's catered more to developers than non-technical folks.

I am going through the Pro ASP.NET Core 6 book. After trying to run the command libman install bootstrap@5.1.3 -d wwwroot/lib/bootstrap from page 72 (Chapter 4) of the book, I started getting the error listed below:

[LIB002]: The "bootstrap@5.1.3" library could not be resolved by the "cdnjs" provider

Turns out it was an issue with the library manager package that was installed. The fix is to install a newer one. More info can be found here:

Was looking for a way to add a list of objects to the appsettings.json file, then retrieve that list and turn them into something I can check against in a controller class. This answer works wonderfully.

React Hook Form — seems like a cool alternative form handler for React.

As the title states, you cannot use UPPERCASE letters when naming Containers in Azure Storage. I have no problem with this. My issue is that the exception message that is returned when running into this restriction, does not help me figure out what I did wrong.

This is the exception message I got: The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.

Yeah, no help at all. Thankfully since I was writing the code, I could see where it was running into the exception. So I know it was an issue when trying to create a Container. It would have been a much bigger headache had I been trying to support a library that didn't have good exception logging or show the correct stacktrace.

I can somewhat understand why they did it this way though; it's most likely for security reasons that they are returning a very vague error. Either way, you have to know that there are a bunch of naming rules concerning how to name things in Azure Storage. For the official list from Microsoft, you can head over here.
