Express.js: Essential Tips for Developers

Le Do Nghiem — Wed, 22 Jan 2025 04:37:50 +0000

Express.js is a powerful and flexible web application framework for Node.js, making it easier to build robust and scalable server-side applications. Whether you're just starting with Express or you're a seasoned developer, there are always ways to enhance your workflow and improve your productivity.

In this blog post, we’ll explore top tips for working efficiently with Express.js. These tips will help you streamline your development process, reduce errors and make the most out of the framework’s features.

1. Use Middleware to Your Advantage

Middleware is one of the most powerful features in Express. It’s a way to execute code in the request-response cycle before your route handlers are called. Using middleware, you can handle repetitive tasks, such as:

Authentication
Validation
Caching
Logging
Error handling

By using middleware, you can keep your routes clean and focus on the specific logic for each endpoint.

Tip: Break your middleware into reusable modules. For example, create separate middleware for authentication, logging, and input validation. This approach will make your code more modular, maintainable, and easier to test.

// Authentication middleware
function authenticate(req, res, next) {
  if (!req.user) {
    return res.status(401).json({ message: 'Unauthorized' });
  }
  next();
}

// Use middleware in routes
app.use('/protected', authenticate);

2. Leverage Express Router for Organizing Routes

As your application grows, the number of routes can become overwhelming. Instead of cramming all your routes into a single file, use the Express Router to modularize and organize them.

The Express Router allows you to define routes in separate modules and then import them into your main app file. This keeps your code cleaner and makes it easier to scale as your application expands.

Tip: Group routes by functionality. For instance, all user-related routes can go into a userRouter, and all product-related routes into a productRouter.
Example:

// userRoutes.js
const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();

router.get('/profile', (req, res) => {
  res.send('User profile');
});

module.exports = router;

// app.js
const userRoutes = require('./userRoutes');
app.use('/user', userRoutes);

3. Use Asynchronous Programming with `async/await`

Working with databases, APIs, and other asynchronous operations is a common task in backend development. Express supports both callback-based functions and promises, but using async/await will make your code cleaner and easier to read.

Instead of using nested callbacks or .then() chaining, you can use async/await to handle asynchronous code in a more synchronous-like manner.

Tip: Always handle errors properly in asynchronous routes by using try/catch blocks, or better yet, use an error-handling middleware to handle all errors centrally.
Example:

app.get('/data', async (req, res, next) => {
  try {
    const data = await fetchDataFromDB();
    res.json(data);
  } catch (err) {
    next(err); // Pass the error to error-handling middleware
  }
});

4. Use Environment Variables for Configuration

In Express apps, configuration values like database URLs, API keys, and environment-specific settings should never be hardcoded. Instead, use environment variables to store sensitive information and configuration values.
Tip: Use the dotenv package to load environment variables from a .env file into process.env. This allows you to easily configure your app for different environments (e.g., development, testing, production).
Example:

require('dotenv').config();

const dbUrl = process.env.DB_URL;

And in your .env file:

DB_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/myapp

5. Optimize Error Handling

Proper error handling is critical in any web application. Express provides a simple way to handle errors using middleware. Instead of handling errors individually in each route, you can centralize error handling using a global error-handling middleware function.

Tip: Always provide a clear error message to the client and avoid exposing sensitive information. In production, you can log the error details on the server but send generic error responses to users.

Example:

// Error-handling middleware
app.use((err, req, res, next) => {
  console.error(err.stack); // Log error stack
  res.status(500).send('Something went wrong!');
});

6. Use Template Engines for Dynamic HTML Rendering

If your Express app needs to render dynamic HTML pages, you can use template engines like EJS, Pug, or Handlebars. These engines allow you to inject dynamic data into HTML templates, making it easy to serve personalized or dynamic content.

Tip: Use a template engine for rendering server-side views rather than sending raw HTML or relying on client-side JavaScript for rendering.

Example with EJS:

app.set('view engine', 'ejs');

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  const user = { name: 'John Doe' };
  res.render('index', { user });
});

7. Use Caching to Improve Performance

For high-performance applications, caching is essential. Express allows you to use caching middleware like apicache or integrate with other caching solutions like Redis.

Tip: Cache responses for routes that don’t change frequently, such as API endpoints that fetch static data. This will reduce load on the server and improve response times for users.

Example with apicache:

const apicache = require('apicache');
let cache = apicache.middleware;

app.get('/data', cache('5 minutes'), async (req, res) => {
  const data = await fetchDataFromDB();
  res.json(data);
});

Debugging with morgan and debug Logging is crucial for debugging and maintaining your Express application. Morgan is a popular HTTP request logger middleware, and debug is a great tool for conditional logging in specific parts of your application.

Tip: Use morgan to log incoming requests and debug to log detailed application state and errors during development.

Example with morgan:

const morgan = require('morgan');
app.use(morgan('tiny')); // Log HTTP requests in a concise format

Example with debug:

const debug = require('debug')('app:startup');
debug('Server is starting...');

9. Implement Rate Limiting and Security Measures

To protect your app from malicious requests, you should implement rate limiting and other security measures like CORS and helmet. These measures prevent abuse and protect sensitive data.

Tip: Use express-rate-limit to limit the number of requests a client can make in a given time period, and use helmet to set secure HTTP headers.

Example:

const rateLimit = require('express-rate-limit');
const helmet = require('helmet');

app.use(helmet()); // Secure HTTP headers
app.use(rateLimit({
  windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
  max: 100 // Limit each IP to 100 requests per window
}));

10. Write Tests for Your Routes

Writing tests ensures that your app functions correctly as it grows. Use testing libraries like Mocha, Chai, or Jest to write unit and integration tests for your Express routes.

Tip: Use supertest to test your Express routes in an automated way. This allows you to make HTTP requests and verify responses in your tests.

Example:

const request = require('supertest');
const app = require('../app'); // Your Express app

describe('GET /', () => {
  it('should return status 200', async () => {
    const res = await request(app).get('/');
    expect(res.status).toBe(200);
  });
});

Conclusion

Efficiently working with Express.js can greatly improve both your productivity and the performance of your applications. By leveraging middleware, organizing your routes, using async/await, optimizing error handling, and implementing caching, you can make the most of what Express has to offer. Additionally, following best practices for security, debugging, and testing will help ensure that your applications are robust and reliable.

Start implementing these tips today, and you'll soon notice how much smoother and more scalable your Express apps become!

A Comprehensive Guide to work with Components in React 💻

Le Do Nghiem — Tue, 21 Jan 2025 09:38:34 +0000

React is a powerful JavaScript library for building user interfaces, and at the heart of every React application is the concept of components. Components allow you to break down your UI into small, reusable pieces, making your application easier to manage, scale, and maintain. In this guide, I will walk you through the basics of working with components in React, covering both functional and class components, props, and state management.

What Are Components in React?

A component is a self-contained, reusable block of code that renders a part of the user interface (UI). Components can be functional or class-based. They are the building blocks of a React application.

Functional Components: These are simpler and are written as JavaScript functions. They receive props and return JSX (React’s syntax for defining UI).
Class Components: These are more complex and were traditionally used for components that needed state and lifecycle methods. However, with the advent of React hooks, functional components are now more commonly used.

Step 1: Creating a Simple Functional Component

Let’s start by creating a basic functional component.
Example: Hello World Component

import React from 'react';

const HelloWorld = () => {
  return <h1>Hello, World!</h1>;
};

export default HelloWorld;

In this example:

HelloWorld is a functional component.
It returns a simple JSX element, which renders the text "Hello, World!".

Using the Component in App.js
Once the component is created, you can use it in the main application component (typically App.js).

import React from 'react';
import HelloWorld from './HelloWorld';  // Importing the HelloWorld component

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <HelloWorld />
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

Here:

We import the HelloWorld component and include it inside the App component’s JSX.
React components can be used as custom HTML tags (e.g., <HelloWorld />).

Step 2: Passing Data to Components with Props

Props (short for "properties") are how data is passed to components in React. They are immutable (cannot be changed by the component receiving them) and are used to customize components.

Example: Component with Props
Let’s update the HelloWorld component to accept a name prop and display a personalized greeting.

import React from 'react';

const HelloWorld = ({ name }) => {
  return <h1>Hello, {name}!</h1>;
};

export default HelloWorld;

Here:

We’ve added a name prop to the component and used it in the JSX to display a personalized greeting.

Using the Component with Props
Now, in the App component, we can pass a value to the name prop:

import React from 'react';
import HelloWorld from './HelloWorld';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <HelloWorld name="Alice" />
      <HelloWorld name="Bob" />
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

Here:

We pass "Alice" and "Bob" as the name prop to the HelloWorld component, and it renders personalized greetings accordingly.

Step 3: Managing State in React Components

In React, state refers to data that can change over time and affect the component’s behavior and rendering. In functional components, we use React's useState hook to manage state.

Example: Counter Component with State
Let’s create a simple counter component that keeps track of a count and allows the user to increase or decrease it.

import React, { useState } from 'react';

const Counter = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0); // Initial state is set to 0

  const increment = () => setCount(count + 1); // Increment the count
  const decrement = () => setCount(count - 1); // Decrement the count

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Count: {count}</h1>
      <button onClick={increment}>Increment</button>
      <button onClick={decrement}>Decrement</button>
    </div>
  );
};

export default Counter;

In this example:

We use the useState hook to create a state variable (count) and a function (setCount) to update it.
The increment and decrement functions modify the count state when the buttons are clicked.

Using the Counter Component
Now, we can use the Counter component in App.js:

import React from 'react';
import Counter from './Counter';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <Counter />
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

This will render the counter, and clicking the buttons will update the count value.

Step 4: Class Components (Optional)

Although functional components with hooks are now the preferred way to build components in React, you may still encounter class components in older codebases.
Here’s how to define a class component in React:

Example: Class Component with State

import React, { Component } from 'react';

class CounterClass extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      count: 0,
    };
  }

  increment = () => {
    this.setState({ count: this.state.count + 1 });
  };

  decrement = () => {
    this.setState({ count: this.state.count - 1 });
  };

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <h1>Count: {this.state.count}</h1>
        <button onClick={this.increment}>Increment</button>
        <button onClick={this.decrement}>Decrement</button>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default CounterClass;

In this example:

The CounterClass component is a class-based component that uses this.state to manage state and this.setState() to update it.

Using the Class Component
You can use the class component the same way as the functional component:

import React from 'react';
import CounterClass from './CounterClass';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <CounterClass />
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

Step 5: Handling Events in Components

React components can handle events (such as clicks, form submissions, etc.) in a declarative manner.

Example: Button Click Event
Here’s an example of handling a click event in a functional component:

import React from 'react';

const Button = () => {
  const handleClick = () => {
    alert('Button was clicked!');
  };

  return <button onClick={handleClick}>Click Me</button>;
};

export default Button;

In this example:

We define a handleClick function that shows an alert when the button is clicked.
The onClick event handler is used to trigger the handleClick function when the button is clicked.

Conclusion

Components are the core building blocks of any React application, and understanding how to create, use, and manage components is essential for building dynamic UIs. Here’s a summary of what we’ve covered:

Creating functional components: Simple and reusable UI elements.
Passing data with props: Customizing components by passing data down to them.
Managing state: Using React’s useState hook in functional components to track and update state.
Class components: Using state and lifecycle methods in class-based components.
Handling events: Handling user interactions with event handlers.

By mastering these fundamental concepts, you will be well-equipped to build more complex and interactive React applications !

Integrate TypeScript into a React Project with Vite 🚀

Le Do Nghiem — Tue, 21 Jan 2025 05:49:54 +0000

Vite is a fast and modern build tool that has quickly become a popular choice for building web applications. It provides lightning-fast development startup and hot module replacement (HMR) for React applications. In this tutorial, I will guide you through how to set up TypeScript in a React project created with Vite.

Requirements

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

Node.js: You need Node.js installed. You can download the latest version from the official Node.js website.
Vite: Vite simplifies the process of building modern web applications, including React with TypeScript.

Step 1: Create a New React Project with Vite

If you're starting from scratch, the easiest way to create a React project with TypeScript using Vite is to use the following commands:

1.1. Create a Vite Project
Open your terminal and run the following command to create a new React + TypeScript project using Vite:

npm create vite@latest my-vite-app --template react-ts

my-vite-app is the name of your project (you can change this to whatever you prefer).
--template react-ts specifies that you want to use React with TypeScript.

1.2. Navigate to the Project Directory
After the project is created, move into the project directory:

cd my-vite-app

1.3. Install Dependencies
Now, install the required dependencies:

npm install

1.4. Run the Development Server
Finally, run the development server to check if everything is working:

npm run dev

Your React app should now be running at http://localhost:3000 with TypeScript support out of the box!

What the Vite React Template Provides
The react-ts template provided by Vite sets up the necessary TypeScript configuration and installs the required dependencies for a React app. The essential files you'll see include:

tsconfig.json: TypeScript configuration file.
vite.config.ts: Vite configuration file for building your app.
.tsx extension support for React components.
Preconfigured support for JSX with TypeScript.

Step 2: Adding TypeScript to an Existing React + Vite Project

If you already have a React project created with Vite and you want to add TypeScript, follow these steps:

2.1. Install TypeScript and Type Definitions
In your existing Vite React project, run the following commands to install TypeScript and type definitions for React:

npm install --save typescript @types/react @types/react-dom

These packages provide TypeScript itself and type definitions for React and React DOM.

2.2. Create or Update the tsconfig.json file
After installing TypeScript, create or update the tsconfig.json file in the root directory. You can use the following basic configuration:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "esnext",
    "useDefineForClassFields": true,
    "lib": ["dom", "esnext"],
    "allowJs": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "strict": true,
    "module": "esnext",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "jsx": "react-jsx"
  },
  "include": ["src"]
}

2.3. Rename Your Files to .tsx
In a TypeScript React project, the component files need to have the .tsx extension (since they include JSX syntax). If you have any .jsx or .js files in your project, rename them to .tsx or .ts (if they don’t contain JSX).
For example:

App.jsx → App.tsx
index.jsx → index.tsx

2.4. Update Your React Components with TypeScript
Now that TypeScript is set up, you can start adding types to your React components. Here’s how to use TypeScript with functional components and typed props.
Example: Functional Component with Typed Props

import React from 'react';

// Define the prop types using an interface
interface GreetingProps {
  name: string;
  age: number;
}

const Greeting: React.FC<GreetingProps> = ({ name, age }) => {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Hello, {name}!</h1>
      <p>You are {age} years old.</p>
    </div>
  );
};

export default Greeting;

In this example:

GreetingProps defines the types of the props passed into the component.
React.FC<GreetingProps> is used to specify that this is a React functional component with props of type GreetingProps.

Step 3: Run and Verify the Project

After setting everything up, run the development server to ensure that TypeScript is properly integrated into your Vite React app:

npm run dev

Visit http://localhost:3000 in your browser, and you should see your React app running with TypeScript. If you open your code editor, you’ll get full TypeScript support, including type checking and autocompletion.

Step 4: Optional Configuration for TypeScript

If you want to further configure TypeScript for your project, there are a few options in the tsconfig.json file that you can tweak depending on your needs:
1. Strict Mode: If you want TypeScript to enforce stricter type checks, make sure "strict": true is enabled. This will help catch potential bugs and improve code quality.
2. Path Aliases: You can use path aliases to make imports cleaner and avoid relative import paths (e.g., ../../components/Button). Here's an example of how to configure it:

"compilerOptions": {
  "baseUrl": "./src",
  "paths": {
    "@components/*": ["components/*"]
  }
}

After setting this up, you can import components like this:

import Button from '@components/Button';

3. ESLint and Prettier: For linting and code formatting, you can integrate ESLint and Prettier to ensure consistent code style and quality. There are various plugins available for TypeScript and React.

Conclusion

Integrating TypeScript into your React project using Vite is straightforward and gives you the benefit of type safety and enhanced tooling. By using TypeScript, you get features like type inference, type checking, and better developer experience through autocompletion and error catching at compile time.
In this guide, I’ve covered how to:

Set up a new React project with TypeScript using Vite.
Add TypeScript to an existing React + Vite project.
Write React components with TypeScript.
Run and verify your TypeScript React app.

Now you’re ready to build more scalable, maintainable React apps with TypeScript!

Hope you success in integrating TypeScript into your React project using Vite! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask for more help 🤗.

Understanding DataTypes in TypeScript 🎯

Le Do Nghiem — Tue, 21 Jan 2025 05:03:04 +0000

TypeScript is a powerful superset of JavaScript that introduces strong typing and other advanced features, making it easier to build large-scale applications. In this blog post, I’ll dive into the various data types available in TypeScript, providing a foundation for understanding how to work with them.

What is TypeScript?

Before we jump into the data types, let’s do a quick recap of what TypeScript is. TypeScript is a statically typed, compiled superset of JavaScript that allows you to add type annotations to your code. This enables better tooling, improved code quality, and easier collaboration by catching errors at compile time.

While JavaScript is dynamically typed, TypeScript adds the ability to specify types for variables, function parameters, and return values. These types help prevent bugs and improve the developer experience.

Primitive Data Types in TypeScript

TypeScript has several built-in primitive data types, which are the most common types used for variables and constants. Let’s go over each of them:

1. Number

The number type represents both integer and floating-point numbers. TypeScript does not differentiate between integer and float types, unlike other languages.

let age: number = 25;
let price: number = 19.99;

In TypeScript, the number type can hold both integer and decimal values, and there is no separate int or float type.

2. String

The string type is used to represent text. You can use single, double, or backticks (template literals) to define string values.

let name: string = "John Doe";
let greeting: string = `Hello, ${name}!`;

String interpolation is also available with backticks, as shown in the example above, allowing you to embed expressions within strings.

3. Boolean

The boolean type represents a logical value, either true or false.

let isActive: boolean = true;
let isCompleted: boolean = false;

Boolean values are frequently used in conditional expressions and control flow.

4. Array

In TypeScript, arrays are strongly typed, meaning you can specify the type of the elements inside the array.
There are two ways to define an array:

Array type notation:

let numbers: number[] = [1, 2, 3, 4];

Generic type notation:

let numbers: Array<number> = [1, 2, 3, 4];

Both of these notations are equivalent, but the generic type is often used for more complex types.

5. Tuple

A tuple is an array with a fixed number of elements, where each element can have a different type. It’s useful when you need to store a collection of values with different types.

let person: [string, number] = ["Alice", 30];

In this example, person is a tuple where the first element is a string and the second is a number.

6. Enum

Enums allow you to define a set of named constants. By default, the values of enums are numeric, starting from 0, but you can assign custom values.

enum Direction {
  Up = 1,
  Down,
  Left,
  Right
}

let move: Direction = Direction.Up;

In this example, the Direction enum assigns 1 to Up, 2 to Down, and so on. You can also specify custom values if needed.

7. Any

The any type is a way to opt-out of type checking for a particular variable. This is useful when you don’t know the type of a variable ahead of time or when working with dynamic content (e.g., JSON data).

let data: any = 42;
data = "Now I am a string";
data = [1, 2, 3];

Although any provides flexibility, it's best to use it sparingly, as it defeats the purpose of type safety in TypeScript.

8. Void

The void type is used to indicate that a function does not return any value. It’s often used in functions that perform an action but do not return a result.

function logMessage(message: string): void {
  console.log(message);
}

In this example, the function logMessage logs a message but does not return any value.

9. Null and Undefined

In TypeScript, null and undefinedare distinct types. null represents the absence of a value, while undefined represents a variable that has been declared but not initialized.

let notAssigned: undefined = undefined;
let absentValue: null = null;

Both null and undefined are also subtypes of any, so they can be assigned to variables of type any.

10. Never

The never type represents a value that never occurs. This is useful for functions that never return, such as those that throw exceptions or enter infinite loops.

function throwError(message: string): never {
  throw new Error(message);
}

In this example, the throwError function never returns any value, which is why its return type is never.

Type Assertions

Sometimes, TypeScript can’t infer the correct type, or you may know more about the type than TypeScript can deduce. In such cases, you can use type assertions to tell TypeScript the type of a variable.

let someValue: any = "Hello, TypeScript!";
let strLength: number = (someValue as string).length;

Alternatively, you can use the <> syntax for type assertions (note that this syntax can’t be used in JSX files).

let strLength: number = (<string>someValue).length;

Conclusion

TypeScript introduces a variety of data types that enhance the flexibility, safety, and maintainability of your code. By using these types effectively, you can catch potential errors early in the development process and ensure that your code behaves as expected.

In this post, we covered basic primitive types such as number, string and boolean, as well as more advanced types like tuple, enum and any. Understanding these types is essential to writing clean, bug-free TypeScript code.

Happy coding and don’t forget to explore TypeScript’s powerful features further as you build your projects!

Hope this blog post helps you better understand data types in TypeScript 😍.

How to set up a .NET Project: A Step-by-Step Guide ⚒

Le Do Nghiem — Tue, 21 Jan 2025 04:31:38 +0000

Setting up a .NET project for the first time can seem like a daunting task, but with the right steps, it’s quite straightforward. In this guide, I will walk you through the process of creating your first .NET project, setting up your environment, and running a simple application.

Prerequisites

Before we dive into creating a .NET project, make sure you have the following:

.NET SDK: You need the .NET SDK installed on your machine. You can download it from the official .NET website.
IDE/Editor: While you can use any text editor, I highly recommend using Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code for a better development experience.
- Visual Studio: If you prefer an integrated development environment (IDE), download Visual Studio here.
- Visual Studio Code: A lightweight editor for coding, download it here. Once you have these set up, let’s begin.

Step 1: Install the .NET SDK

If you haven't installed the .NET SDK yet, follow these steps:

Go to the .NET download page.
Choose your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
Download the latest stable version of the .NET SDK.
Follow the installation instructions for your OS. To verify that .NET is installed correctly, open a terminal or command prompt and run:

dotnet --version

This should output the installed version of .NET.

Step 2: Create a New .NET Project

Now that you have the .NET SDK installed, it’s time to create a new project. Open a terminal or command prompt and follow these steps:

Navigate to the directory where you want to create your project.
Create a new project using the following command:

dotnet new console -n MyFirstDotNetApp

This command will create a new console application named MyFirstDotNetApp. You can change the project name as per your preference.

Navigate into the project folder:

cd MyFirstDotNetApp

At this point, your project structure should look like this:

MyFirstDotNetApp/
 ├── Program.cs
 └── MyFirstDotNetApp.csproj

Program.cs: This is the entry point for your application.
MyFirstDotNetApp.csproj: This is the project file that contains metadata about your project, such as dependencies and configurations.

Step 3: Build and Run the Project

To build and run your .NET project, simply use the following command:

dotnet run

You should see the output:

Hello, World!

This is the default message generated by the template in Program.cs.

Step 4: Modify the Code

Now that your project is up and running, let’s make some modifications. Open the Program.cs file in your editor and change the code to:

using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Welcome to .NET!");
    }
}

Save the file and run your project again:

dotnet run

You should see:

Welcome to .NET!

Step 5: Add External Libraries (Optional)

You can enhance your project by adding external libraries. For example, let’s add a popular library called Newtonsoft.Json to help with JSON serialization.

Run the following command to add the NuGet package:

dotnet add package Newtonsoft.Json

Now, modify your Program.cs file to include a simple example of

using Newtonsoft.Json:
using System;
using Newtonsoft.Json;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        var person = new { Name = "John", Age = 30 };
        string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(person);
        Console.WriteLine(json);
    }
}

Run the application again:

dotnet run

This will output the JSON representation of the object:

{"Name":"John","Age":30}

Step 6: Publish the Application

Once you’re happy with your project, you can publish it to run on other machines. To do this, use the dotnet publish command:

dotnet publish -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained

This will package your application for a Windows 64-bit system. You can replace win-x64 with other runtime identifiers like linux-x64 or osx-x64 based on your target platform.

Conclusion
