Explicit Joins in SQLAlchemy

Vincent Engelmann — Thu, 20 Jun 2019 21:21:54 +0000

Explicit joins in SQLAlchemy! What this means is that we are showing what the join conditions are within the ORM query itself, rather than built into your model classes.

Here's the ORM query with explicit joins:

    join_results = (
        db.session.query(TableA).filter_by(table_a_col=some_var)
            .join(TableB, TableB.table_a_id == TableA.id)
            .all()
    )

Flexbox Item Stretching, Oh My!

To stop an item from stretching vertically in a flexbox container, apply this to the container: align-self: flex-start;.

In tailwindcss, this would be class="items-center" (or any of the other items-{position} classes). Here's a tailwind example:

        <div class="flex items-center">
          <button>Edit</button>
          <button>Delete</button>
        </div>

Ain't no shame in StackOverflow Driven Development.

What's your preferred way to format this type of destructuring?

        let {
            thing1,
            thing2,
            thing3 } = this.state;

It's amazing to realize how many new development features the Javascript dev community is bringing to development in general. So many awesome features available to us via Webpack and Babel!

Does anyone else LOVE the look of syntax-highlighted code first thing in the morning!?
