    Enhanced API Flexibility Through Slug Decoupling

    To streamline API identification, we decoupled slug management from core icon functionality. This allowed us to introduce dedicated tables for slugs and their types, ensuring a centralized system. We also implemented a “SlugHistory” table for seamless redirects and historical context. Moving forward, we plan to enhance the API with features like slug suggestions and drag-and-drop… Read More

    Overcoming Challenges in Building an API with RTK Query

    Building an API with RTK Query can be a rewarding experience, but it comes with its own set of challenges. One common hurdle is managing large apiSlice files, which can become difficult to maintain as the number of endpoints grows. To address this, I explored code splitting and modularizing endpoints, but these approaches introduced their… Read More

    From JSON to SQL: The Road to Efficient Icon Management

    Today, I focused on organizing Material UI icons and preparing them for database integration. After generating over 30,000 SQL inserts, I optimized the process to run multiple queries efficiently, avoiding a lengthy execution time. Along the way, I tackled a MySQL issue involving multiple statements and resolved it with a simple change in method usage.… Read More

    REST API Paths

    When naming REST API paths, it’s important to follow best practices such as avoiding file extensions, using HTTP verbs like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and placing variable names in the path. Proper structuring of endpoints helps differentiate between collections and singletons, like using /api/users for a collection and /api/users/123 for a specific resource. Relationships between… Read More

    Fallback!

    Today, I implemented functionality for renaming and deleting types, added authentication forms, and expanded a dialog form to handle multiple fields with autocomplete. I faced an issue with password manager warnings for hidden username fields and resolved it by using CSS to hide the input properly. I also created a new dialog control, fixed an… Read More

    Drag and Drop Reordering with RTK Query and PHP

    Today’s work focused on implementing drag and drop functionality, improving error handling, and refining API endpoints. Key features include a new item creation dialog, item reordering, and enhanced error reporting with stack traces. Backend changes involved refactoring API methods, handling server-side item movement, and using appropriate HTTP status codes. Additionally, the frontend was updated with… Read More
