Top 7 Featured DEV Posts from the Past Week

Every Tuesday we round up the previous week's top posts based on traffic, engagement, and a hint of editorial curation. The typical week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday, but don't worry, we take into account posts that are published later in the week.

The 5 pillars of every HTTP request

An HTTP request is an action that is sent to a server in order to get something, or to send some information. This includes the URL of the server, the headers and the body of the request. In this post, @aminnairi shows us how in order to build reliable applications, there are 5 steps that we must follow whenever we make a request to a server.

Open standards, trust, and Google

It’s difficult to see Google retire beloved projects and services or fail to hit the promises made with services that didn’t get past the starting line. The shutdown of Google Domains brings @cassidoo out to talk about Google and open standards.

Building a Real-Time Search Filter in React: A Step-by-Step Guide

When @alais29 began working with React, one of the common challenges she encountered was implementing a real-time search filter functionality. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a solid understanding of how to build this valuable feature.
