Leveraging Salesforce Using a Client Written In Angular

In the “Leveraging Salesforce Without Using Spring Boot” article, I navigated the course for introducing a Spring Boot service that would leverage the well-established Salesforce RESTful API. The goal of this service was to act as a middleware layer; that way, clients not written in Salesforce could retrieve and update contact data stored in Salesforce. This backend service implemented its own caching layer to provide a faster response time and also cut down on the number of times Salesforce needed to be called.

In “Leveraging Salesforce Using a Client Written In Svelte,” I introduced a simple client written in Svelte, which made it possible to update the Salesforce data using an inline editor—again, without actually using the Salesforce client.

NgRx Best Practices Series: Introduction

This is the first in a series of articles about building reactive applications in Angular using NgRx state management. I want to begin by laying out my personal relationship with NgRx and introduce an example application that we will use throughout the series. 

You should already be familiar with common NgRx concepts to get the most out of these articles. In later articles, I will share the good and bad things I have learned about state management and illustrate best practices for NgRx.

Let’s Discuss Memoization, or Should I Say Memoisation

“In computing, memoization or memoisation is an optimization technique used primarily to speed up computer programs by storing the results of expensive function calls and returning the cached result when the same inputs occur again” — Wikipedia article on memoization. 

I've written a two part article in Memoization in JavaScript. The first part explains the concept with basic implementation in JavaScript code. It details a way to apply the technique on function calls. It is generic to handle most JavaScript functions.

How to Use State Inside of an Effect Component With ngrx

For this post, I assume you already have knowledge about ngrx (a reactive state management framework for Angular), and you are working with reducers, actions, effects, and selector components. You can find information in ngrx. Today, I want to show you how to work with state inside of the effect component.

TypeScript


This is a very simple example of an effect. It's defined by the getInfoAction  action, and there is a call to service getInfo. Then, it's fired the action, getInfoSuccessfulAction. At this point, everything is straightforward, but what if you need to get some value from @ngrx/store. Well, the good news is you can do it; let me show you how to.
