1) Create a Contract Class A contract class defines constants that help applications work with the content URIs, column names, intent actions, and other features of a content provider. Contract classes are not included automatically with a provider; the provider's developer has to define them and t...

The primary way of getting input would be from injecting the Illuminate\Http\Request into your controller, after that there are numerous ways of accessing the data, 4 of which are in the example below. <?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; class UserController...

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...

Due to type erasure the following will not work: public <T> void genericMethod() { T t = new T(); // Can not instantiate the type T. } The type T is erased. Since, at runtime, the JVM does not know what T originally was, it does not know which constructor to call. Workarounds ...

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...

Like an HTTP request, an HTTP response may include additional headers to modify or augment the response it provides. A full list of available headers is defined in §6.2 of the specification. The most commonly-used headers are: Server, which functions like a User-Agent request header for the serv...

A common problem is having a collection of items that all need to meet a certain criteria. In the example below we have collected two items for a diet plan and we want to check that the diet doesn't contain any unhealthy food. // First we create a collection $diet = collect([ ['name' => ...

You will often find yourself with a collection of data where you are only interested in parts of the data. In the example below we got a list of participants at an event and we want to provide a the tour guide with a simple list of names. // First we collect the participants $participants = colle...

Often you need to change the way a set of data is structured and manipulate certain values. In the example below we got a collection of books with an attached discount amount. But we much rather have a list of books with a price that's already discounted. $books = [ ['title' => 'The Pragma...

Collections also provide you with an easy way to do simple statistical calculations. $books = [ ['title' => 'The Pragmatic Programmer', 'price' => 20], ['title' => 'Continuous Delivery', 'price' => 30], ['title' => 'The Clean Coder', 'price' => 10], ] $min = col...

In Java, parent and child class both can have static methods with the same name. But in such cases implementation of static method in child is hiding parent class' implementation, it's not method overriding. For example: class StaticMethodTest { // static method and inheritance public stati...

The text-transform property allows you to change the capitalization of text. Valid values are: uppercase, capitalize, lowercase, initial, inherit, and none CSS: .example1 { text-transform: uppercase; } .example2 { text-transform: capitalize; } .example3 { text-transform: lowerc...

Functions are defined with five components: The header, which includes the defn keyword, the name of the function. (defn welcome ....) An optional Docstring that explains and document what the function does. (defn welcome "Return a welcome message to the world" ...) Pa...

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...

We can use the :: syntax to dispatch on the type of an argument. describe(n::Integer) = "integer $n" describe(n::AbstractFloat) = "floating point $n" Usage: julia> describe(10) "integer 10" julia> describe(1.0) "floating point 1.0" Unlike m...

Functions are objects in Julia. Like any other objects, they can be passed as arguments to other functions. Functions that accept functions are known as higher-order functions. For instance, we can implement an equivalent of the standard library's foreach function by taking a function f as the firs...

Arrow syntax Anonymous functions can be created using the -> syntax. This is useful for passing functions to higher-order functions, such as the map function. The below function computes the square of each number in an array A. squareall(A) = map(x -> x ^ 2, A) An example of using this fu...

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...
