External Link X (formerly Twitter) · twitter.com [1] I’m going to give this trick a shot on my sites, and see how I like it. * { min-width: 0 } Down in the comments @adamwathan [2] goes on to say. Basically every layout overflow bug ever boils down to some flex or grid child needing min-width: 0 😄 Oh and @ryanflorence [3] also says in the comments. I … do this. Note This post is a thought [4].

Path Operation Advanced Configuration - FastAPI FastAPI framework, high performance, easy to learn, fast to code, ready for production fastapi.tiangolo.com [1] Excluding routes from fastapi docs, can be done from the route configuration using `include_in_schema`. This is handy for routes that are not really api based or duplicates. From the Docs # [2] from fastapi import FastAPI app = FastAPI() @app.get("/items/", include_in_schema=False) async def read_items(): return [{"item_id": "Foo"}] trailing slash # [3] I’ve had better luck just routing both naked and trailing slash routes in fastapi [4]. I’ve had api’s deployed as a subroute to a site rather than a subdomain, and the automatic redirect betweens them tended to always get messed up. This is pretty easy fix for the pain is causes just give vim a yyp, and if you don’t want deuplicates in your docs, ignore one. from fastapi import FastAPI app = FastAPI() @app.get("/items") @app.get("/items/", include_in_schema=False) async def read_items(): return [{"item_id": "Foo"}] favicon.ico # [5] Now you do not need to deploy favicons to your api in any way, it is nice to have it in your browser tab, but more importantly ...
Protect API docs behind authentication? · Issue #364 · fastapi/fastapi Basic Question Does FastAPI provide a method for implementing authentication middleware or similar on the docs themselves (e.g. to protect access to /docs and /redoc)? Additional context My company... GitHub · github.com [1] You can protect your fastapi [2] docs behind auth so that not only can certain roles not run certain routes, but they cannot even see the docs at all. This way no one that shouldn’t be poking around can even discover routes they shouldn’t be using. Here is the soluteion provided by @kennylajara [3] from fastapi import FastAPI from fastapi.openapi.docs import get_redoc_html, get_swagger_ui_html from fastapi.openapi.utils import get_openapi import secrets from fastapi import Depends, FastAPI, HTTPException, status from fastapi.security import HTTPBasic, HTTPBasicCredentials app = FastAPI( title="FastAPI", version="0.1.0", docs_url=None, redoc_url=None, openapi_url = None, ) security = HTTPBasic() def get_current_username(credentials: HTTPBasicCredentials = Depends(security)): correct_username = secrets.compare_digest(credentials.username, "user") correct_password = secrets...

Search Use the search APIs to look up and retrieve objects in your Stripe data. Using search is a faster alternative to paginating through all resources. stripe.com [1] Stripe has it’s own query language for querying data. I’m just getting into using it and it seems pretty good so far. I needed to lookup the price for products. I was able to find prices for my product using the python api as shown below. stripe.Price.search(query="active: 'true' and product: 'prod_P8SfwtxJ45cWE2'") Note This post is a thought [2].

Looking for a Heroku replacement, What I found was shocking!

Your browser does not support the audio element. I’ve long hosted my personal blog as a static site on waylonwalker.com. It’s all markdown, converted to html [1], and shipped as is. It’s been great, I’ve moved it from GitHub Pages, to Netlify, tried Vercel for a minute, and have landed on Cloudflare Pages. Each migration has not really been that hard, it’s just pointing ci to a different host after the site has built. [2] What about server side # [3] Now the part that I have struggled with is how to cheaply host a server rendered application that can just live on forever without me paying for it. This is a harder problem as it costs more to keep servers spinning, memory, and disk all ready for you to use at a moments notice. Honestly # [4] I never really deployed anything that useful on heroku, but it seems like the klenex of the bunch that’s why they are in the title. I’ve moved between digital ocean and fly.io, and have had some great experiences with both. I just don’t want...
[1] I’ve been using tailwind for a few months now and I can still say I’m loving it. I’ve been using it to create some rapid prototypes that may or may not ever become something, a document that is likely to go to print (a resume), and some quick dashboards. I started using Tailwind a few month back # [2] A few months back in september of 2023 I made a case for tailwindcss [3]. And have been using it on quite a few projects since. - values are well thought out - it’s really easy to use - classes that make sense - tree shakable fokais.com # [4] I started working on fokais.com only a few weeks ago, It’s going to be a SAS to make blogging easier. I’ve started hosting some tools for this blog that I really like that I think I can turn into a service. It’s been fantastic to quickly pump out new pages with tailwind. [5] HTMX # [7] tailwind and htmx are a match made in heaven. They both really lean on Location of Behavior over Separation of concerns. They do really well at making small components that you can throw on and endpoint and stack into any page. With tailwind I just configure it to look at all my templates, and I can guarantee that the styles will be in app.css, ...

page-break-after CSS property - CSS | MDN The page-break-after CSS property adjusts page breaks after the current element. MDN Web Docs · developer.mozilla.org [1] I’m working on something that might go to print, so I want the page breaks to happen somewhat in my control as the content author. As I do my writing I break my content up in to many short sections using h2, sometimes an h3. These are generally short sections that go together, should stay together, and typically are not too lengthy to cause a large white space in print. I found a way in css to only allow page breaks to happen on h2 and h3, and it turned out perfect, suck it WSIWIG editors * { page-break-before: avoid; } h2, h3 { page-break-before: auto; } Note This post is a thought [2].

How to Build a Website or App - Syntax #696 This podcast episode covers a wide range of topics related to building a website or web application from start to finish. syntax.fm [1] Great tips in this one. They discuss everything from front end to backend, databases and ORMS, here are a few of my favorite points. - Use good data or good fake data - make it have some variation like long and short text - Don’t use a database if you need one, static content is eaiser to manage - end to end test, (does the site load page x) - You DONT NEED all this complexity, you can deploy a site with HTML [2] and CSS.

- Nice take by @t3dotgg [1]. Some of the old patterns that go deep into webdev, MVC, separation of concerns, REST, are things we are told to believe on day one, thrown so many things, no mental bandwidth, or experience to form our own opinions we must take them as fact. Rarely do we take these facts and revisit them with our new understandings years later. Note This post is a thought [2].

He discusses the tradeoffs betw... htmx.org [1] Interesting principle here. What a great example, If I’m looking at the second jQuery example, I have to dig into dev tools or make some assumtions that this team uses jQuery, and selects by id, therefore I can grep for $("#d1"). Consider two different implementations of an AJAX request in HTML [2], the first in htmx [3]: <button hx-get="/clicked">Click Me</button> > and the second in jQuery: ``` js $("#d1").on("click", function(){ $.ajax({ /* AJAX options... */ }); }); <button id="d1">Click Me</button> Note This post is a thought [4].

Litestar: Effortlessly Build Performant APIs We all know about Flask and Django. And of course FastAPI made a huge splash when it came on the scene a few years ago. But new web frameworks are being created all the time. And they have these ea... talkpython.fm [1] Litestar is an interesting api framework similar to fastpi, that I am interested to check out to see if it fits into some project scope. It sounds like it comes with a lot more batteries included for things like auth, but does not have hard opinions like django. At this point I’m not jumping off of fastapi [2], but its something I want to try. Note This post is a thought [3].
