This article was written over 18 months ago and may contain information that is out of date. Some content may be relevant but please refer to the relevant official documentation or available resources for the latest information.

In a previous post, I explained the main aspects to add a Routing Management with LitElement and TypeScript to build a SPA(Single Page Application). It's important to note that a good understanding of the routing library you selected to work through can help you to have more control over the navigation lifecycle.

Creating and configuring routes into your Web Application is only one part of the Routing Management story.

As you can see, an instance of the class will be created first (using the constructor). Let's walk around the Lifecycle functions we can use to have full control over navigation using Vaadin Router and LitElement for Web Components.

onBeforeEnter

Let's suppose we have an Admin page, which is displayed only for authorized users. Our Web Component will look as follows:

import {
  PreventAndRedirectCommands,
  Router,
  RouterLocation,
} from '@vaadin/router';
import { LitElement, html, customElement } from 'lit-element';

@customElement('lit-admin')
export class Admin extends LitElement {
  render() {
    return html`
      <h2>Admin</h2>
      <p>Only for authorized users</p>
    `;
  }
}

However, this page will remain accessible to everyone unless you define a rule to avoid loading it for restricted users.

If you're working with Vaadin Router and Web Components, you don't need to implement or extend from any class. It's enough to define a function name that matches to any lifecycle functions.

So, it's time to implement a route guard in order to restrict the access to this page and do a redirect instead:

  public onBeforeEnter(
    location: RouterLocation,
    commands: PreventAndRedirectCommands,
    router: Router
  ): RedirectResult | undefined {
    if(!this.isAuthorized()) {
      return commands.redirect('/'); // Redirects to home page
    }
  }

  private isAuthorized() {
    // Logic to determine if the current user can see this page
    return false;
  }

In this case, the onBeforeEnter function returns a RedirectResult as a router command. That means the router will perform a redirection to /(the home page) before loading the current path.

If you need to perform any async action in this context, then you can return a Promise instead:

  public onBeforeEnter(
    location: RouterLocation,
    commands: PreventAndRedirectCommands,
    router: Router
  ): Promise<unknown> | undefined {
    if (!this.isAuthorized()) {
      return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          resolve(commands.redirect('/'));
        }, 2000);
      });
    }
  }

In the previous example, the router will wait until the Promise is resolved before continuing to load the page.

Find below the complete TypeScript class implementation:

import {
  PreventAndRedirectCommands,
  RedirectResult,
  Router,
  RouterLocation,
} from '@vaadin/router';
import { LitElement, html, customElement } from 'lit-element';

@customElement('lit-admin')
export class Admin extends LitElement {
  render() {
    return html`
      <h2>Admin</h2>
      <p>Only for authorized users</p>
    `;
  }

  public onBeforeEnter(
    location: RouterLocation,
    commands: PreventAndRedirectCommands,
    router: Router
  ): Promise<unknown> | RedirectResult | undefined {
    console.log('onBeforeEnter');
    if (!this.isAuthorized()) {
      // sync operation
      // return commands.redirect('/');

      // async operation
      return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          console.log('Not authorized, redirect to home page');
          resolve(commands.redirect('/'));
        }, 2000);
      });
    }

    console.log('You can see this page');
  }

  private isAuthorized() {
    // Logic to determine if the current user can see this page
    return false;
  }
}

onAfterEnter

This function can be used to process the URL params or even initialize the page. Any value you may return will be ignored.

@customElement('lit-admin')
export class Admin extends LitElement {

  @property({ type: String }) username!: string;

  render() {
    return html`
      <h2>Admin</h2>
      <p>Welcome ${this.username}</p>
      <p>Only for authorized users</p>
    `;
  }

  public onAfterEnter(
    location: RouterLocation,
    commands: PreventAndRedirectCommands,
    router: Router
  ): void {
    console.log('onAfterEnter');
    // Read params from URL
    const section = location.params.section; // path: 'admin/:section'
    const username = new URLSearchParams(location.search).get('username');
    console.log('section', section);
    console.log('username', username);

    // Assign the username value from the URL
    this.username = username || 'user';
    // No need to return a result.
  }
}

As you can see, this function will be in charge of all the needed initialization of the page.

As the first step, it will read the parameters from the URL: http://localhost:8000/admin/profile?username=luixaviles. Then the username value will be assigned to an existing property.

Here you have the output screen:

onBeforeLeave

This function will be executed once the current path doesn't match anymore. That means the page or component is about to be removed from the DOM.

  public onBeforeLeave(
    location: RouterLocation,
    commands: PreventAndRedirectCommands,
    router: Router
  ): PreventResult | undefined {
    console.log('onBeforeLeave');

    const leave = window.confirm('Are you sure to leave this page?');
    if (!leave) {
      return commands.prevent();
    }
  }

In this example, the application will show a confirm popup before leaving the current page. If the user decides to cancel the action, the function will return a PreventResult object due to return commands.prevent() call.

In case you need to perform an async operation, the function can return a Promise as follows:

  public onBeforeLeave(
    location: RouterLocation,
    commands: PreventAndRedirectCommands,
    router: Router
  ): PreventResult | Promise<unknown> | undefined {
    console.log('onBeforeLeave');

    const leave = window.confirm('Are you sure to leave this page?');
    if (!leave) {
      // sync operation
      // return commands.prevent();

      // async operation
      return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          // console.log('Not authorized, redirect to home page');
          console.log('resolved');
          resolve(commands.prevent());
        }, 2000);
      });
    }
  }

onAfterLeave

This is pretty similar to the previous one and it will be executed once the current path doesn't match anymore AND the process to remove it from the DOM has been started. Any value returned by this function will be ignored.

  public onAfterLeave(
    location: RouterLocation,
    commands: PreventAndRedirectCommands,
    router: Router
  ): void {
    console.log('onAfterLeave');
    alert('Just wanted to say goodbye!');
  }

As you can see in this screenshot, the URL has been changed already and the function will run as a last action from the previous view.

The Final Component

Pay attention to all imports and types used here:

import {
  PreventAndRedirectCommands,
  PreventResult,
  RedirectResult,
  Router,
  RouterLocation,
} from '@vaadin/router';
import { LitElement, html, customElement, property } from 'lit-element';

import { router } from '../index';

@customElement('lit-admin')
export class Admin extends LitElement {
  @property({ type: String }) username!: string;

  render() {
    return html`
      <h2>Admin</h2>
      <p>Welcome ${this.username}</p>
      <p>Only for authorized users</p>
      <p>Go to <a href="${router.urlForPath('/about')}">About</a></p>
    `;
  }

  public onBeforeEnter(
    location: RouterLocation,
    commands: PreventAndRedirectCommands,
    router: Router
  ): Promise<unknown> | RedirectResult | undefined {
    if (!this.isAuthorized()) {
      // sync operation
      // return commands.redirect('/');

      // async operation
      return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          resolve(commands.redirect('/'));
        }, 2000);
      });
    }
  }

  public onAfterEnter(
    location: RouterLocation,
    commands: PreventAndRedirectCommands,
    router: Router
  ): void {
    // Read params from URL
    const section = location.params.section; // path: 'admin/:section'
    const username = new URLSearchParams(location.search).get('username');
    console.log('section', section);
    console.log('username', username);

    // Assign the username value from the URL
    this.username = username || 'user';

    // No need to return a result.
  }

  public onBeforeLeave(
    location: RouterLocation,
    commands: PreventAndRedirectCommands,
    router: Router
  ): PreventResult | Promise<unknown> | undefined {
    const leave = window.confirm('Are you sure to leave this page?');
    if (!leave) {
      // sync operation
      // return commands.prevent();

      // async operation
      return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
          resolve(commands.prevent());
        }, 2000);
      });
    }
  }

  public onAfterLeave(
    location: RouterLocation,
    commands: PreventAndRedirectCommands,
    router: Router
  ): void {
    alert('Just wanted to say goodbye!');
  }

  private isAuthorized() {
    // Logic to determine if the current user can see this page
    return true;
  }
}

End-to-end type-safety with JSON Schema

End-to-end type-safety with JSON Schema I recently wrote an introduction to JSON Schema post. If you’re unfamiliar with it, check out the post, but TLDR: It’s a schema specification that can be used to define the input and output data for your JSON API. In my post, I highlight many fantastic benefits you can reap from defining schemas for your JSON API. One of the more interesting things you can achieve with your schemas is end-to-end type safety from your backend API to your client application(s). In this post, we will explore how this can be accomplished slightly deeper. Overview The basic idea of what we want to achieve is: * a JSON API server that validates input and output data using JSON Schema * The JSON Schema definitions that our API uses transformed into TypeScript types With those pieces in place, we can achieve type safety on our API server and the consuming client application. The server side is pretty straightforward if you’re using a server like Fastify with already enabled JSON Schema support. This post will focus on the concepts more than the actual implementation details though. Here’s a simple diagram illustrating the high-level concept: We can share the schema and type declaration between the client and server. In that case, we can make a request to an endpoint where we know its type and schema, and assuming the server validates the data against the schema before sending it back to the client, our client can be confident about the type of the response data. Marrying JSON Schema and TypeScript There are a couple of different ways to accomplish this: * Generating types from schema definitions using code generation tools * Creating TypeBox definitions that can infer TypeScript types and be compiled to JSON Schema I recommend considering both and figuring out which would better fit your application and workflows. Like anything else, each has its own set of trade-offs. In my experience, I’ve found TypeBox to be the most compelling if you want to go deep with this pattern. Code generation A couple of different packages are available for generating TS types from JSON Schema definitions. * https://github.com/bcherny/json-schema-to-typescript * https://github.com/vega/ts-json-schema-generator They are CLI tools that you can provide a glob path to where your schema files are located and will generate TS declaration files to a specified output path. You can set up an npm hook or a similar type of script that will generate types for your development environment. TypeBox TypeBox is a JSON Schema type builder. With this approach, instead of json files, we define schemas in code using the TypeBox API. The TypeBox definitions infer to TypeScript types directly, which eliminates the code generation step described above. Here’s a simple example from the documentation of a JSON Schema definition declared with TypeBox: ` This can then be inferred as a TypeScript type: ` Aside from schemas and types, TypeBox can do a lot more to help us on our type-safety journey. We will explore it a bit more in upcoming sections. Sharing schemas between client and server applications Sharing our JSON Schema between our server and client app is the main requirement for end-to-end type-safety. There are a couple of different ways to accomplish this, but the simplest would be to set up our codebase as a monorepo that contains both the server and client app. Some popular options for TypeScript monorepos are: PNPM, Turborepo, and NX. If a monorepo is not an option, you can publish your schema and types as a package that can be installed in both projects. However, this setup would require a lot more maintenance work. Ultimately, as long as you can import your schemas and types from the client and server app, you are in good shape. Server-to-client validation and type-safety For the sake of simplicity, let's focus on data flowing from the server to the client for now. Generally speaking, the concepts also apply in reverse, as long as your JSON API server validates your inputs and outputs. We’ll look at the most basic version of having strongly typed data on the client from a request to our server. Type-safe client requests In our server application, if we validate the /users endpoint with a shared schema - on the client side, when we make the request to the endpoint, we know that the response data is validated using the user schema. As long as we are confident of this fact, we can use the generated type from that schema as the return type on our client fetch call. Here’s some pseudocode: ` Our server endpoint would look something like this: ` You could get creative and build out a map that defines all of your endpoints, their metadata, and schemas, and use the map to define your server endpoints and create an API client. Transforming data over the wire Everything looks stellar, but we can still take our efforts a bit further. To this point, we are still limited to serialized JSON data. If we have a created_at field (number or ISO string) tied to our user, and we want it to be a Date object when we get a hold of it on the client side - additional work and consideration are required. There are some different strategies out there for deserializing JSON data. The great thing about having shared schemas between our client and server is that we can encode our type information in the schema without sending additional metadata from our server to the client. Using format to declare type data In my initial JSON Schema blog post, I touched on the format field of the specification. In our schema, if the actual type of our date is a string in ISO8601 format, we can declare our format to be "date-time". We can use this information on the client to transform the field into a proper Date object. ` Transforming serialized JSON Data This can be a little bit tricky; again, there are many ways to accomplish it. To demonstrate the concept, we’ll use TypeBox to define our schemas as discussed above. TypeBox provides a Transform type that you can use to declare, encode, and decode methods for your schema definition. ` It even provides helpers to statically generate the decoded and encoded types for your schema ` If you declare your decode and encode functions for your schemas, you can then use the TypeBox API to handle decoding the serialized values returned from your JSON API. Here’s what the concept looks like in practice fetching a user from our API: ` Nice. You could use a validation library like Zod to achieve a similar result but here we aren’t actually doing any validation on our client side. That happened on the server. We just know the types based on the schema since both ends share them. On the client, we are just transforming our serialized JSON into what we want it to be in our client application. Summary There are a lot of pieces in play to accomplish end-to-end type safety. With the help of JSON Schema and TypeBox though, it feels like light work for a semi-roll-your-own type of solution. Another great thing about it is that it’s flexible and based on pretty core concepts like a JSON API paired with a TypeScript-based client application. The number of benefits that you can reap from defining JSON Schemas for your APIs is really great. If you’re like me and wanna keep it simple by avoiding GraphQL or other similar tools, this is a great approach....

TypeScript Integration with .env Variables

Introduction In TypeScript projects, effectively managing environment variables can significantly enhance the development experience. However, a common hurdle is that TypeScript, by default, doesn't recognize variables defined in .env files. This oversight can lead to type safety issues and, potentially, hard-to-trace bugs. In this blog post, we'll walk you through the process of setting up an environment.d.ts file. This simple yet powerful addition enables TypeScript to seamlessly integrate with and accurately interpret your environment variables. Let's dive into the details! Creating and Configuring environment.d.ts Install @types/node Before creating your environment.d.ts file, make sure you have the @types/node package installed as it provides TypeScript definitions for Node.js, including the process.env object. Install it as a development dependency: ` Setting Up environment.d.ts To ensure TypeScript correctly recognizes and types your .env variables, start by setting up an environment.d.ts file in your project. This TypeScript declaration file will explicitly define the types of your environment variables. 1. Create the File: In the root of your TypeScript project, create a file named environment.d.ts 2. Declare Environment Variables: In environment.d.ts, declare your environment variables as part of the NodeJS.ProcessEnv interface. For example, for API_KEY and DATABASE_URL, the file would look like this: ` 3. Typescript config: In you tsconfig.json file, ensure that Typescript will recognize our the new file: ` 4. Usage in Your Project: With these declarations, TypeScript will provide type-checking and intellisense for process.env.API_KEY and process.env.DATABASE_URL, enhancing the development experience and code safety. Checking on Your IDE By following the steps above, you can now verify on your IDE how your environment variables recognizes and auto completes the variables added: Conclusion Integrating .env environment variables into TypeScript projects enhances not only the security and flexibility of your application but also the overall developer experience. By setting up an environment.d.ts file and ensuring the presence of @types/node, you bridge the gap between TypeScript’s static type system and the dynamic nature of environment variables. This approach leads to clearer, more maintainable code, where the risks of runtime errors are significantly reduced. It's a testament to TypeScript's versatility and its capability to adapt to various development needs. As you continue to build and scale your TypeScript applications, remember that small enhancements like these can have a profound impact on your project's robustness and the efficiency of your development processes. Embrace these nuanced techniques, and watch as they bring a new level of precision and reliability to your TypeScript projects....

How to Update the Application Title based on Routing Changes in Angular

Have you tried to update the document's title of your application? Maybe you're thinking that applying interpolation should be enough: ` That solution is not going to work since the element is outside of the scope of the Angular application. In fact, the root component of your app is within tag, and the title is part of the element. Luckily, Angular provides the Title service with the methods to read the current title of the application, and a setTitle(title) to update that value. However, what happens if you need to update the title on routing changes? Also, you may consider updating it on certain components for Analytics purposes. In this blog post, I'll explain step-by-step how to create a custom Title service to have full control over the title of the current HTML document for your application. Project Setup Prerequisites You'll need to have installed the following tools in your local environment: - Node.js. Preferably the latest LTS version. - A package manager. You can use either NPM or Yarn. This tutorial will use NPM. Creating the Angular Project Let's assume we'll need to build an application with the following routes as requirements: ` Now, let's create the project from scratch using the Angular CLI tool. ` This command will initialize a base project using some configuration options: - --routing. It will create a routing module. - --prefix corp. It defines a prefix to be applied to the selectors for created components(corp in this case). The default value is app. - --style css. The file extension for the styling files. - --skip-tests. it avoids the generations of the .spec.ts files, which are used for testing Creating the Modules and Components Once we got the initial structure of the app, we'll continue running the following commands to create a separate module for /home and /products, which are the main paths of the project: ` * The --routing flag can be using also along with ng generate module to create a routing configuration file for that module. Creating the Title Service Similar to the previous section, we will create a shared module to hold the Title service. Both can be generated with the following commands: ` * The --module app flag is used to "link" the brand new module to the pre-existing app.module.ts file. The Routing Configuration Open the app-routing.module.ts file, and create the initial routes. ` * By default, the application will redirect to the home path. * When the router loads the home path, a HomeComponent will be rendered. * The products path will be loaded using the _lazy loading_ feature. Pay attention to the data provided to the home path. It contains the configured title through pageTitle string. Next, open the products-routing.module.ts file to enable an additional configuration to load the _Products_ and the _Product Detail_ page. ` * The router will render the ProductsComponent by default when the path matches to /products. This route also defines custom data to be rendered as titles later. * When the path also adds an Id on /products/:id, the router will render the ProductDetailComponent. The Title Service Implementation It's time to implement the custom Title Service for our application. ` The above service implementation could be understood in just a few steps. * First, we'll need to make sure to inject the Router, ActivatedRoute and Title services in the constructor. * The title$ attribute contains the initial value for the title("Corp"), which will be emitted through a _BehaviorSubject_. * The titleRoute$ is an Observable ready to emit any pageTitle value defined in the current route. It may use the parent's _pageTitle_ otherwise. * The titleState$ is an Observable ready to _listen_ to either title$ or titleRoute$ values. In case incoming value is defined, it will call the Angular Title service to perform the update. * The getPageTitle method will be in charge of obtaining the pageTitle of the current route if it is defined or the title of the parent otherwise. Injecting the Title Service One easy way to apply the custom Title Service in the whole application is by updating the app.module.ts file and injecting it into the constructor. ` In that way, once the default component gets rendered, the title will be displayed as Corp - Home. If you click on _Go to Products_ link, then a redirection will be performed and the Title service will be invoked again to display Corp - Products at this time. However, we may need to render a different title according to the product detail. In this case, we'll show Corp - Product Detail - :id where the Id matches with the current route parameter. ` Let's explain the implementation of this component: * The constructor injects the ActivatedRoute and the custom TitleService. * The productId$ is the _Observable_ which is going to emit the Id parameter every time it changes in the URL. * Once the component gets initialized, we'll need to _subscribe_ to the productId$ _Observable_ and then emit a new value for the title after creating a new string using the id. That's possible through the titleService.title$.next() method. * When the component gets _destroyed_, we'll need to _unsubscribe_ from the productIdSubscription. We're ready to go! Every time you select a product, the ProductDetail component will be rendered, and the title will be updated accordingly. Live Demo and Source Code Want to play around with the final application? Just open the following link in your browser: https://luixaviles.github.io/angular-update-title. Find the complete angular project in this GitHub repository: angular-update-title-service.

Svelte 5 is Here!

Svelte 5 was finally released after a long time in development. Fortunately, we've been able to test it for some time, and now it has a stable release. Let's dig into its features and why this is such a significant change, even though Svelte 4 code is almost 100% compatible. Svelte syntax everywhere This is one of my favorite additions. Previously, Svelte syntax was limited to a component element. Refactoring code from a component and moving it to a JavaScript file worked differently. Now you can use the .svelte.js or .svelte.ts extension, which allows you to use the same syntax everywhere. It's important to note that it's a way to express that this is not just JS, and what you write may be compiled to something else, just like .svelte files are not just html even though they look very similar. Runes The introduction of runes is one of the most significant changes in Svelte. Many users felt attracted to variables being instantly reactive in previous versions. ` There was, however, a lot of magic underneath and a considerable amount of work from the compiler to make it behave reactively. $state In Svelte 5, a reactive variable has to be explicitly declared using the $state rune, which brings a clear distinction between what is reactive and what isn’t. ` In the previous code, $state is not an actual function being called; it's a hint for the compiler to do something special with this declaration. Rune names always start with a dollar sign ($) and do not need to be imported. However, there’s much more to the changes than just the way we declare reactive variables. Runes bring a lot of new features that make Svelte 5 a great improvement. In Svelte 5, objects or arrays use Proxies to allow for granular reactivity, meaning that individual properties in an object are reactive, even if they are nested objects or arrays. If you modify a property, it will only update that property and will not trigger an update on the whole object. It also supports triggering updates when methods like array.push are called. In previous versions, an assignment was required to trigger an update: ` To have a similar behavior of svelte 4 (no deep reactivity), use the $state.raw() rune. This syntax of .* is common for related features of a rune: $state.raw() will require an assignment to trigger reactivity. ` Because proxies are used, you may need to extract the underlying state instead of the proxy itself. In that case, $state.snapshot() should be used: ` $derived We will use $derived and $derived.by to declare a derived state. The two runes are essentially the same, except one allows us to use a function instead of an expression, allowing for more complex operations to calculate the derived values. ` $effect Effects are useful for running something triggered by a change in state. One of the things you'll note from the $effect rune is that dependencies don't need to be explicit. Those will be picked from reactive values read synchronously in the body of the effect function. ` Something to bear in mind is that these dependencies are picked each time the effect runs. The values read during the last run become the dependencies of the effect. ` Depending on the result of the random method, foo or bar will stop being a dependency of the effect. You should place them outside the condition so they can trigger reruns of the effect. *Variants* of the effect rune are $effect.pre, which runs before a DOM update, and $effect.tracking(), which checks for the context of the effect (true for an effect inside an effect or in the template). $props This rune replaces the export let keywords used in previous versions to define a component's props. To use the $props syntax, we can consider it to return an object with all the properties a component receives. We can use JavaScript syntax to destructure it or use the rest property if we want to retrieve every property not explicitly destructured.. ` $bindable If you want to mutate a prop so that the change flows back to the parent, you can use the $bindable prop to make it work in both directions. A parent component can pass a value to a child component, and the child component is able to modify it, returning the data back to the parent component. ` $inspect The $inspect rune only works in dev mode and will track dependencies deeply. By default, it will call console.log with the provided argument whenever it detects a change. To change the underlying function, use $inspect.with().with): ` $host The host rune gives access to the host element when compiling as a custom element: ` ` Other changes Another important change is that component events are just props in Svelte 5, so you can destructure them using the $props() rune: ` A special children property can be used to project content into a component instead of using slots. Inside the components, use the [@render[(https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/@render) tag to place them. ` Optional chaining (?.) prevents from attempting to render it if no children are passed in. If you need to render different components in different places (named slots before Svelte 5, you can pass them as any other prop, and use @render with them.
