As we discussed in our post on getting started with Pytest, the framework allows us to reuse tests by using test fixtures and parameterized functions. In this post, we will learn how to do so. We will build on the simple calculator example that we discussed in the previous post...
Testing our code brings in a variety of benefits, including building confidence in the code’s functioning and having lesser regressions. Writing and maintaining tests requires some additional work, and that is why we want to leverage tools as much as we can. Python does provide inbuilt tools such as unittest...
The process to format a number as currency can be a tedious task. It feels like a small task, but the number of lines and the edge cases can keep on increasing when considering factors such as internationalization and different formatting standards. Luckily, ES2015 introduced an internationalization API which can...
Flask is a python framework for writing web applications. It is a microframework, which as the name suggests, is a small, clean, and simple to use framework. It comes with a minimal set of features, which sounds like a strange choice at first. So why would we choose Flask if...
When we start building a Python project that goes beyond simple scripts, we tend to start using third-party dependencies. When working on a larger project, we need to think about managing these dependencies in an efficient manner. And when installing dependencies, we always want to be inside virtual environments. It...
EcmaScript 2015 introduced yet another feature that has not been used widely yet. A JavaScript proxy allows us to wrap an existing object with a layer. The layer can provide us with capabilities such as the interception of attributes and methods. And this can be done even if the properties...
Let us take a look at an implementation of getting data from an API request and see if there is any possibility of race conditions happening in this component: We have specified an empty array as a dependency to the useEffect React hook. So we have ensured that the fetch...
I was recently working on a project in which I was trying to use a shorthand notation for destructuring assignment of a variable. I was researching different ways of getting a specific scenario to work. And while doing that research, I found that ES2015 had added 3 new object initialization...
