Local Authentication

Release 0.3.2

I tried to find a test issue to learn how to write test cases but I found another one which was also very interesting to me since it was about authentication set up using JSON web token. When I reviewed telescope, I read a code very carefully so I remembered about passport so I suggested that I would work with passport local and token and the owner agreed with my idea.

First, for this I needed to understand passport and how JSON token works. After spending a lot of time, I implemented the part and commit it. The owner was satisfied with work but unfortunately, during the time, about 2 days, he decided to change main language from javascript to typescript due to typeorm. What is typeorm? It will be my next topic. Anyway, he liked my logic so he said he would use it. Ah~, there are many things I need to study.

Since my second job was refused and wanted to study or contribute more especially about test case, I started to explore again and finally, I found one. And I learned a lot about jest in this issue so I appreciated to the owner.

Jest, jest.fn(), spyOn?... I had to learn how to use a lot of new functions of Jest library which I really want. And talking to people is also very good experience. To be honest, I usually did my assignment by myself or I tended to do even a group assignment alone. However, I learned the enjoyment of talking to other people.

In conclusion, from this course, I learned how I can get a knowledge if I meet a new topic. Usually, I studied by myself, but now, it is very good to explore open source and look at what other people did or are doing now.

Getting more difficult?

Release 0.2.4 Now I am at almost the end of release 0.2 and I chose the telescope as the final contribution. To be honest, this is huge, well organized and great project and it is first time to take a look. Unlike my previous assignment during the previous terms, there are tons of what I have never seen. First, docker compose is great and the document for contribution is very clear. Of course, I had no idea when read it first, but every time as my professor mentioned, there was a great guy, helper?, helping me a lot to set up the project. Although I had no idea about Elastic-search and Redis-cache server, I was happy to take a time to look though the codes and to understand. Again, trying to understand an issue is always hard for me and sometimes I am really not happy when somebody does not understand my question. This happened again. The reason why I attached the picture is that I am still confused about the whole process of this project especially about why frontend didn't get ...

Finally, release my first open source.

Starting... This lab is to release my product to install easily. Instead of cloning or downloading and setting it up manually, it provides a lot of convenience for users to install it. I chose NPM since I used nodejs. NPM is a great site to help develpers to release their git repository in the site. Progressing... First, I signed up on npmjs.com and logged in the site on the console to release my repository. I had to set up a lot of things like 'npm init', modifying readme and package.json to be ready. Second, I tried to release my repository by the command, 'npm publish --access public'. Unfortunately, the name, http-parser, was already taken, so I needed to change my name. I chose my name as http-checker and tried to release it again. At this time, I got 403, forbidden error. I spent a lot of time to figure out but it was actually due to not verified account. Once I got the verified email account, finally, I got the release version of my repository. Here is my...

Elastic search and more

Release 0.3.1 Now it is time to learn what is Elastic search since the chosen issue is about adding more fields for our model in telescope. This is very new for me so I was very scared when I started to work for this but now I think I am more confident. First, Elastic search is such a great supportive database especially for index search. The good thing is that it is not only the index search for whole value but, partial keyword as well. Of course, it may be wrong since I also just started to study it. Anyway, It was very careful when I read codes one line by one. Following the official document , I tried to add some fields, but it made some test failed so I needed to fix them. The below content is from the official document: Mapping edit Mapping is the process of defining how a document, and the fields it contains, are stored and indexed. For instance, use mappings to define: which string fields should be treated as full text fields. which fields contain numbers, dat...
