Creating a reusable table shimmer component using react js

Using OData to fast track your API development
I have been having a lot of interest in OData for a few years, but never had the opportunity to actually start implementing it. Since I can’t see an interesting project on the horizon, I thought I will start playing around with one of the sample databases, Adventure Work.

C# – Unit testing a AutoMapper Profile mappings
When you use AutoMapper to map our objects, and AutoMapper profiles are the way we do it, it encapsulates a lot of business logic in some cases. But we need to make sure the business logic gets unit tested.
C# – Unit testing a Mediator handler that has AutoMapper Profile
As part of my Mediator handler, I have multiple dependencies injected they are DbContext, IMapper. But remember, as part of the application initialisation we have AutoMapper Profile registration automatically. But it’s not the case with Unit Testing we need to register the dependencies or mock them. Therefore we need to add the Profile to our IMapper initialisation.
Azure DevOps – Calling REST endpoint via Powershell script
As part of the CI/CD, I had run the migrations I created with TypeORM (NodeJs), I have selected the path of creating a function that runs the script. Endpoint needs to be called once the app deployment is completed. Add a Powershell script with First, you need to run, so you will not get certificate […]
Getting started with Terraform Azure – Provision & Manage any Infrastructure
Each organisation is different, some has dedicated teams to manage and provision resources. But if you were to manage them your self as a developer, either you login to Azure Portal and create necessary resources yourself or you CI/CD (Infrastructure as a code) do it as part of the release.
