Hello everyone, my name is Raji Oluwatobiloba, I am a software developer. I love to write and I am planning on using this platform to teach/communicate to people from my own little experience!

Hello how are you ? My name is Robinson and I write to you from Venezuela. I just started to learn Reactjs ... and I would like if you could guide me on the beginning of the session. I already have the Login interface and I redirect to the dashboard (in this case) ... but I don't know how to handle the user session? also the expiration time of that session? I've seen examples with LocalStorage but I don't know if that's a good practice ... I'd like to know if you can help me with an example? I did my backend with NodeJs Express connected to a Sql Server database ... Greetings...my email : loretoruiz@hotmail.com

Atsushin

Hi nice to meet you. You might be able to get some experience in the following project github.com/hyperledger/blockchain-... where I've joined as a OSS contributor. The project is using these tech stacks and always welcoming a new contributor. Cheers!

Hi Robinson, happy to help. Can we chat on hangouts or whatsapp?

THREAD

Hello, thanks for answering ... I do not speak English ... I speak Spanish ... but can you help me with the google translator ... can you show me an example of what I ask in the forum?

THREAD

Okay, if i were in your shoes, i'd use localstorage or cookies.
but I prefer localstorage.
normally you will be getting a token from the backend when you are logging users right? so just do it this way:

this will be at the point of logging in users
axios.post ('url', {
user,
})
.then (response => {
localStorage.setItem ('token', 'randomstringtokentopersistdata');

then on your dashboard page, just go like this.

const token = localStorage.getItem ('token');

you can store this token in a state and use it all over your app as it can be accessed anywhere.

THREAD

I understand friend ... and how do you manage the session expiration time?

THREAD

You can use JavaScript session storage

sessionStorage.setItem('token', 'randomstring')

const data = sessionStorage.getItem('token');

// to remove user data from sessionStorage

sessionStorage.removeItem('token');

THREAD

I understand friend ... I have a doubt ... how are global variables handled in Reactjs ?? that is ... if I want to save and be able to use the variable == >> const name = '' in ALL my application; that variable will take a value when the user enters the system ... and from another component I want to use it ... that is, I want to get the value of that variable name ... can you help me?

THREAD

You can store that variable in state and pass it as props to whatever component you need it(you'll need to read more on passing props) React official documentation is the best place to start.

Moreover, you'll reach a stage where passing this supposed variable from one component to another will be a pain in the ass, then you should use a state management, the popular one is redux. You'll need to go learn redux too. But for now, since you're just starting to learn react, try learning how to pass state as a props from one component to another.

Let me know if you need more clarification.

Hi Raji! Same here, I think teaching is a fundamental way to solidify our own learning.

What kinds of applications do you like writing?

JDA01

Hello, well my current skills allow me to build static sites, but would really want to be able to add a lot more functionality to the sites. Currently learning node.js, mangoo and cant wait to start react. Goal is to land a job as a front end developer and ofcourse keep learning and improving.

Viki Harrod

Hi Folks! I'm a software dev (mostly Ruby) and a random hobbyist. I've been stumbling across dev.to posts for a while, finally decided to take the plunge. Happy to be here ^_^
-Viki, she/her

mustafa3252

I would really like to learn Ruby

welcome Viki.. whenever I see ruby developer.. I feel happy.. Ruby is underrated and people often bash ruby :(.. but I really enjoy learning ruby.. currently trying to get better in ruby and rails..

Viki Harrod

Thanks! ^_^ I really enjoy Ruby, and it's perfectly fine for a lot of things. It does have some limitations I don't fully understand, especially around concurrency and performance, and that's okay. Not everything has to be as fast as it can possibly be, and Ruby can also be made performant enough for a lot of use cases.

THREAD

I heard ruby 3 will introduce static type checking and much more to make ruby fast.. let's see

Love Ruby!

Welcome aboard!

Welcome!

Hey, Call me wiz lol..... Amma keep it short... Really hope this platform can help advance my development skills

You and me both!

welcome wiz.. I hope same too.. :)

Hello wiz

Hello, this is Daniel Roy Greenfeld from Los Angeles, California, USA. I am python, javascript, and C#/Unity developer who has worked for NASA, EventBrite, and an InsureTech. I've written books on software, Two Scoops of Django and Django Crash Course. I'm working on more books for Python and C#/Unity.

I love being a constant learner and student. I eagerly devour what people have to say on coding. The day you stop being willing to learn is the day your career as a developer is over. :-)

Melissa McKay

I agree with you 100%. The desire to learn is integral to success as a developer. I've been a developer for over 20 years, across many different languages and technologies. Whenever I'm asked about this type of career, I point out that you will never really feel like you have arrived at a full understanding of anything - there is ALWAYS something new to learn and so many different areas of expertise. This is part of what I love about it! Never bored. ;-)

Hi! 👍

Hi Daniel,

Nice to meet you here. Your book helped me to develop better system with Django at our place. Thank you very much.

Víctor Escudero

Hi Devs! 👋 I'm Víctor and I'm a Full Stack developer. I love code, the Cloud, DevOps and also interested in cutting-edge technologies that can help solve real-world problems, such as Artificial Intelligence or Big Data...I hope to contribute to this fantastic community!

Woow nice to reading! i am starting as a trainee in a big company in my country, it is supposed i will get full-stack and I will do my best to get it!

mjmhtjain

Debugging and troubleshooting got me here, but the dev articles made me stay .. Unlike Medium (sorry) I find dev.to to be more tech focussed, meaning less of promotion and more code..

PS: I am an active 9gager too.. so here's a 🥔 (potato) for long post.

Jared Rice

Hello, I'm Jared!

I'm (professionally) a web developer, but (unprofessionally) I try to tackle graphic design & illustration, game design & development, 3D modeling & animation. I also enjoy reading, wood carving, archery, the earth, my girlfriend and my 2 cats :)

I followed Dev.to on Twitter for quite some time, but never found my way to the site!

Well, I'm here now and excited to see what I can learn. 👋🏼

Thx for read!😊

Charlie Li

Hello all, I'm Charlie. I'm a technical consultant, which can and does take many directions, not limited to: redoing a facility's wifi setup because it was terrible, auditing infrastructure, making sure in-development IoT devices actually behave themselves and write code only if necessary. But since this is DEV, outside of the business context I port software to run on FreeBSD, my operating system of choice, and play with single-board computers and microcontrollers. Oh, and I'm a ham radio operator, but focusing on the digital/computer side of things.

Here to force myself to get better at documenting stuff informally (read: blog, share the posts here) as well as help others learn things (rather than scream into the void).

Maxime Moreau

Hello world!
I'm Maxime. I'm a (young) software engineer (apprenticeship, studying computer science at the same time) at Airbus France. I build Data Driven Applications to help quality guys, production line & currently flight line.

So yeah, I mainly work with Python (Pyspark/Pandas) but I also do a lot of web development at work & on my own. I also was a web developer in a young startup before. For the web, I mainly work with PHP (Laravel), NodeJS & recently Django (falling in love), and for the front side I'm a VueJS lover for a long time! I've tried React but it's not my cup of tea.

I read a lot on dev.to and I'm considering writing on it, maybe soon (gosh that's so scarry).

See you guys!
PS: I love coffee.

Claire Collins

Don't be scared. Any knowledge will be greatly received by someone. Not everyone can learn everything about coding. Be brave, start posting. There are a lot of novices on here, like myself, so go for it!!

Greetings,

My name is David and I am passionate about anything Azure, DevOps, and Automation. I enjoy speaking at conferences and other events. I am not that good at blogging or writing posts on social media.
I am a lifelong learner, so I certainly hope that dev.to is a great place to learn and share knowledge :)

Saikat Bhattacharjee

I have a pyspark project where I have a dataframe shown below:

   +----------+--------------------------------+
   | Index    |           flagArray            |
   +----------+--------------------------------+
   |    1     | ['A','S','A','E','Z','S','S']  | 
   +----------+--------------------------------+
   |    2     | ['A','Z','Z','E','Z','S','S']  |
   +--------- +--------------------------------+

I want to represent array elements with its corresponding numeric values.

So my output dataframe should look like

   +----------+--------------------------------+--------------------------------+
   | Index    |           flagArray            |           finalArray           |
   +----------+--------------------------------+--------------------------------+
   |    1     | ['A','S','A','E','Z','S','S']  | [0, 2, 0, 3, 4, 2, 2]          | 
   +----------+--------------------------------+--------------------------------+
   |    2     | ['A','Z','Z','E','Z','S','S']  | [0, 4, 4, 3, 4, 2, 2]          |
   +--------- +--------------------------------+--------------------------------+

I have written an udf in pyspark where I am achieving it by writing some if else statements. Is there any better way to handle the same.

Melissa McKay

This week is my first week as a Developer Advocate for JFrog. I'm excited to learn from all of you and hopefully leverage my years of development experience to contribute some meaningful content. Can't wait to jump in! At the moment I'm looking into the history of containers and deep diving into how we use them today.

Hello, all!

My name is Matheus, I am from Brazil but live in Germany since mid-2018. After attending to :clojureD conf this weekend I am more motivated to start writing about my experiences as a software engineer.

I've been using Java for most of my career but I have a "crush" on Clojure and functional programming languages in general.

David Schweinsberg

Hello all,

I'm a software developer with about, ah, 30 years professional experience. Lots of C++, Objective-C, Python, Java. Increasing amounts of Swift. I've done a lot of media programming and I'm currently working with an avatar start-up in Venice, California. I've been living in Los Angeles for about five years, and previously spent many years in the UK and Australia.

I'm joining because a Microsoft employee published an article on Twine here, which I though was pretty damn cool, considering that I'm an Interactive Fiction aficionado.
