Tutorial by Examples: case

The Scala compiler prefixes every argument in the parameter list by default with val. This means that, by default, case classes are immutable. Each parameter is given an accessor method, but there are no mutator methods. For example: case class Foo(i: Int) val fooInstance = Foo(1) val j = fooIn...

For example, if you are sending an email to a customer after starting a task, it's best to immediately redirect the user to the next page while queuing the email to be sent in the background. This will speed up the load time for the next page, since sending an email can sometimes take several second...

extern crate serde; extern crate serde_json; #[macro_use] extern crate serde_derive; #[derive(Serialize)] struct Person { #[serde(rename="firstName")] first_name: String, #[serde(rename="lastName")] last_name: String, } fn main() { let person = ...

You can test if a string matches several regular expressions using a switch statement. Example case "Ruby is #1!" when /\APython/ puts "Boooo." when /\ARuby/ puts "You are right." else puts "Sorry, I didn't understand that." end This w...

Given a file sample: hello Hello HELLO_there A normal grep for "hello" returns: $ grep "hello" sample hello Using -i allows to ignore case and match any "hello": $ grep -i "hello" sample hello Hello HELLO_there

If you need to search an ActiveRecord model for similar values, you might be tempted to use LIKE or ILIKE but this isn't portable between database engines. Similarly, resorting to always downcasing or upcasing can create performance issues. You can use ActiveRecord's underlying Arel matches method...

Comparing string in a case insensitive way seems like something that's trivial, but it's not. This section only considers unicode strings (the default in Python 3). Note that Python 2 may have subtle weaknesses relative to Python 3 - the later's unicode handling is much more complete. The first thi...

With the case statement you can match values against one variable. The argument passed to case is expanded and try to match against each patterns. If a match is found, the commands upto ;; are executed. case "$BASH_VERSION" in [34]*) echo {1..4} ;; *) seq -s" ...

We can use 1,2,3.. to determine the type of order: SELECT * FROM DEPT ORDER BY CASE DEPARTMENT WHEN 'MARKETING' THEN 1 WHEN 'SALES' THEN 2 WHEN 'RESEARCH' THEN 3 WHEN 'INNOVATION' THEN 4 ELSE 5 END, CITY IDREGIONCITYDEPARTMENTEMPLOYEES_N...

When results need to have some logic applied 'on the fly' one can use CASE statement to implement it. SELECT CASE WHEN Col1 < 50 THEN 'under' ELSE 'over' END threshold FROM TableName also can be chained SELECT CASE WHEN Col1 < 50 THEN 'under' WHEN Col1 > 50 AND Col1 ...

If you're running a replica set or have a need to shard your database, you'll want an upstart script that looks something like this: # /etc/init/myapp.conf description "myapp.mydomain.com" author "[email protected]" # used to be: start on startup # until we found som...

(u)gettext_noop allows you to mark a string as translatable without actually translating it. A typical use case is when you want to log a message for developers (in English) but also want to display it to the client (in the requested language). You can pass a variable to gettext, but its content wo...

The System.String class supports a number of methods to convert between uppercase and lowercase characters in a string. System.String.ToLowerInvariant is used to return a String object converted to lowercase. System.String.ToUpperInvariant is used to return a String object converted to upper...

Then go into the mongo shell and initiate the replica set, like so: mongo > rs.initiate() PRIMARY> rs.add("mongo-a") PRIMARY> rs.add("mongo-b") PRIMARY> rs.add("mongo-c") PRIMARY> rs.setReadPref('secondaryPreferred')

The replica set will need an oplog user to access the database. mongo PRIMARY> use admin PRIMARY> db.addUser({user:"oplogger",pwd:"YOUR_PASSWORD",roles:[],otherDBRoles:{local:["read"]}}); PRIMARY> show users

Delete the local database files. Just exit the Mongo shell, navigate to the /dbpath (wherever you set it up), and delete the files within that directory.
