Create a model (lets call it User) by running: $ rails g model User which will generate the file app/models/user.rb: class User include Mongoid::Document end This is all you need to have a model (albeit nothing but an id field). Unlike ActiveRecord, there is no migration files. All the...

The first thing you need to know when structuring your apps is that the Meteor tool has some directories that are hard-coded with specific logic. At a very basic level, the following directories are "baked in" the Meteor bundler. client/ # client applicati...

Many people find themselves eventually supporting multiple applications, and desire to share code between apps. This leads to the concept of microservice architecture, and all-package apps. Essentially, the code from the entire classic directory structure is refactored out into packages. Even tho...

The most recent versions of Meteor ship with support for ecmascript, aka ES6 or ES2015. Instead of packages, Javascript now supports import statements and modules, which replaces the need for package-only applications. The latest directory structure is similar to the package-only structure, but us...

And, of course, you can mix these approaches, and use both packages and imports along side your application specific code. A mix-mode structure is most common in three situations: a franken-app, which is just sort of pulling a bit from here-and-there without any overall strategy; an app that's bei...

MySQL does not provide a built-in way to create pivot queries. However, these can be created using prepared statements. Assume the table tbl_values: IdNameGroupValue1PeteA102PeteB203JohnA10 Request: Create a query that shows the sum of Value for each Name; the Group must be column header and Name...

globalize gem is a great solution to add translations to your ActiveRecord models. You can install it adding this to your Gemfile: gem 'globalize', '~> 5.0.0' If you're using Rails 5 you will also need to add activemodel-serializers-xml gem 'activemodel-serializers-xml' Model translations...

When an HTTP server receives a well-formed HTTP request, it must process the information that request contains and return a response to the client. A simple HTTP 1.1 response, may look like any of the following, usually followed by a number of header fields, and possibly a response body: HTTP/1.1 2...

use-fixtures allows to wrap each deftest in namespace with code that runs before and after test. It can be used for fixtures or stubbing. Fixtures are just functions that take test function and run it with other necessary steps (before/after, wrap). (ns myapp.test (require [clojure.test :refer ...

This is the easiest syntax to define a function: square(n) = n * n To call a function, use round brackets (without spaces in between): julia> square(10) 100 Functions are objects in Julia, and we can show them in the REPL as with any other objects: julia> square square (generic func...

Simple recursion Using recursion and the ternary conditional operator, we can create an alternative implementation of the built-in factorial function: myfactorial(n) = n == 0 ? 1 : n * myfactorial(n - 1) Usage: julia> myfactorial(10) 3628800 Working with trees Recursive functions are o...

In Vue.js, every component instance has its own isolated scope, which means that if a parent component has a child component - the child component has its own isolated scope and the parent component has its own isolated scope. For any medium to large size app, following best practices conventions p...

Sometimes you will have a grid of subplots, and you want to have a single legend that describes all the lines for each of the subplots as in the following image. In order to do this, you will need to create a global legend for the figure instead of creating a legend at the axes level (which wil...

Deferred function calls serve a similar purpose to things like finally blocks in languages like Java: they ensure that some function will be executed when the outer function returns, regardless of if an error occurred or which return statement was hit in cases with multiple returns. This is useful f...

Not always we have liberty to read from or write to a local system path. For example if R code streaming map-reduce must need to read and write to file connection. There can be other scenarios as well where one is going beyond local system and with advent of cloud and big data, this is becoming incr...

You can read an a binary file using this piece of code in all recent versions of Java: Java SE 1.4 File file = new File("path_to_the_file"); byte[] data = new byte[(int) file.length()]; DataInputStream stream = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream(file)); stream.readFully(data); s...
