Volatile memory in Java

To ensure that updates to variables propagate predictably to other threads, we should apply the volatile modifier to those variables:

public class TaskRunner {

    private volatile static int number;
    private volatile static boolean ready;

    // same as before
}

This way, we communicate with runtime and processor to not reorder any instruction involving the volatile variable. Also, processors understand that they should flush any updates to these variables right away.

Using Fetch API in JavaScript

Get Method using JavaScript Promise

fetch('http://example.com/movies.json')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data));

Supplying request options

// Example POST method implementation:
async function postData(url = '', data = {}) {
  // Default options are marked with *
  const response = await fetch(url, {
    method: 'POST', // *GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.
    mode: 'cors', // no-cors, *cors, same-origin
    cache: 'no-cache', // *default, no-cache, reload, force-cache, only-if-cached
    credentials: 'same-origin', // include, *same-origin, omit
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      // 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
    },
    redirect: 'follow', // manual, *follow, error
    referrerPolicy: 'no-referrer', // no-referrer, *no-referrer-when-downgrade, origin, origin-when-cross-origin, same-origin, strict-origin, strict-origin-when-cross-origin, unsafe-url
    body: JSON.stringify(data) // body data type must match "Content-Type" header
  });
  return response.json(); // parses JSON response into native JavaScript objects
}

postData('https://example.com/answer', { answer: 42 })
  .then(data => {
    console.log(data); // JSON data parsed by `data.json()` call
  });

Checking that the fetch was successful

fetch('flowers.jpg')
  .then(response => {
    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error('Network response was not OK');
    }
    return response.blob();
  })
  .then(myBlob => {
    myImage.src = URL.createObjectURL(myBlob);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error('There has been a problem with your fetch operation:', error);
  });

Supplying your own request object

const myHeaders = new Headers();

const myRequest = new Request('flowers.jpg', {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: myHeaders,
  mode: 'cors',
  cache: 'default',
});

fetch(myRequest)
  .then(response => response.blob())
  .then(myBlob => {
    myImage.src = URL.createObjectURL(myBlob);
  });

Headers

const content = 'Hello World';
const myHeaders = new Headers();
myHeaders.append('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
myHeaders.append('Content-Length', content.length.toString());
myHeaders.append('X-Custom-Header', 'ProcessThisImmediately');

const myHeaders = new Headers({
  'Content-Type': 'text/plain',
  'Content-Length': content.length.toString(),
  'X-Custom-Header': 'ProcessThisImmediately'
});

console.log(myHeaders.has('Content-Type')); // true
console.log(myHeaders.has('Set-Cookie')); // false
myHeaders.set('Content-Type', 'text/html');
myHeaders.append('X-Custom-Header', 'AnotherValue');

console.log(myHeaders.get('Content-Length')); // 11
console.log(myHeaders.get('X-Custom-Header')); // ['ProcessThisImmediately', 'AnotherValue']

myHeaders.delete('X-Custom-Header');
console.log(myHeaders.get('X-Custom-Header')); // null

fetch(myRequest)
  .then(response => {
     const contentType = response.headers.get('content-type');
     if (!contentType || !contentType.includes('application/json')) {
       throw new TypeError("Oops, we haven't got JSON!");
     }
     return response.json();
  })
  .then(data => {
      /* process your data further */
  })
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

Force Spring Boot to use Gson instead of Jackson

Well, WebMvcConfigurerAdapter is deprecated. As of Spring 5.0 do this:

@SpringBootApplication(exclude = {JacksonAutoConfiguration.class})
public class Spring01Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Spring01Application.class, args);
    }

}
@Configuration
public class WebConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
    @Bean
    public Gson gson() {
        GsonBuilder b = new GsonBuilder();
        b.registerTypeAdapterFactory(HibernateProxyTypeAdapter.FACTORY);
        b.registerTypeAdapterFactory(DateTypeAdapter.FACTORY);
        b.registerTypeAdapterFactory(TimestampTypeAdapter.FACTORY);
        b.registerTypeAdapterFactory(LocalDateTypeAdapter.FACTORY);
        b.registerTypeAdapterFactory(LocalDateTimeTypeAdapter.FACTORY);
        return b.create();
    }

    @Override
    public void configureMessageConverters(
        List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> converters) {
        StringHttpMessageConverter stringConverter = new StringHttpMessageConverter();
        stringConverter.setWriteAcceptCharset(false);
        stringConverter.setSupportedMediaTypes(Collections
            .singletonList(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN));
        converters.add(stringConverter);
        converters.add(new ByteArrayHttpMessageConverter());
        converters.add(new SourceHttpMessageConverter<>());
        GsonHttpMessageConverter gsonHttpMessageConverter = new GsonHttpMessageConverter();
        gsonHttpMessageConverter.setGson(gson());
        gsonHttpMessageConverter.setSupportedMediaTypes(Arrays
            .asList(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON));
        converters.add(gsonHttpMessageConverter);

Parallel foreach in Java

List<Integer> listOfNumbers = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4);
listOfNumbers.parallelStream().forEach(number ->
    System.out.println(number + " " + Thread.currentThread().getName())

Custom Thread Pool

List<Integer> listOfNumbers = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4);
ForkJoinPool customThreadPool = new ForkJoinPool(4);
int sum = customThreadPool.submit(
    () -> listOfNumbers.parallelStream().reduce(0, Integer::sum)).get();
customThreadPool.shutdown();
assertThat(sum).isEqualTo(10);

Spring Boot – Multiple Spring Data modules found, entering strict repository configuration mode

@EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages = {"com.ecommerce.core.repository.jpa"})
@EnableElasticsearchRepositories(basePackages= {"com.ecommerce.core.repository.elastic"})
@EnableRedisRepositories(basePackages = {"org.springframework.data.redis.connection.jedis"})

Since we are explicitly enabling the repositories on specific packages we can include this in the application.properties to avoid these errors:

spring.data.redis.repositories.enabled=false

We can do the same for the other repositories as well. If you encounter similar errors:

spring.data.elasticsearch.repositories.enabled=false
spring.data.jpa.repositories.enabled=false

Using container class in Tailwind CSS

The container class sets the max-width of an element to match the min-width of the current breakpoint. This is useful if you’d prefer to design for a fixed set of screen sizes instead of trying to accommodate a fully fluid viewport.

Note that unlike containers you might have used in other frameworks, Tailwind’s container does not center itself automatically and does not have any built-in horizontal padding.

<div class="container mx-auto px-4">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Serialize and Deserialize Joda Time in Gson

register a TypeAdapter with GSON to wrap the use of a Joda preconfigured Formatters :

    public static Gson gsonDateTime() {
    Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
            .registerTypeAdapter(DateTime.class, new JsonSerializer<DateTime>() {
                @Override
                public JsonElement serialize(DateTime json, Type typeOfSrc, JsonSerializationContext context) {
                    return new JsonPrimitive(ISODateTimeFormat.dateTime().print(json));
                }
            })
            .registerTypeAdapter(DateTime.class, new JsonDeserializer<DateTime>() {
                @Override
                public DateTime deserialize(JsonElement json, Type typeOfT, JsonDeserializationContext context) throws JsonParseException {
                    DateTime dt = ISODateTimeFormat.dateTime().parseDateTime(json.getAsString());
                    return dt;
                }
            })
            .create();
    return gson;

Spring Data MongoDB Transactions

MongoDB Configuration

@Configuration
@EnableMongoRepositories(basePackages = "com.baeldung.repository")
public class MongoConfig extends AbstractMongoClientConfiguration{

    @Bean
    MongoTransactionManager transactionManager(MongoDatabaseFactory dbFactory) {
        return new MongoTransactionManager(dbFactory);
    }

    @Override
    protected String getDatabaseName() {
        return "test";
    }

    @Override
    public MongoClient mongoClient() {
        final ConnectionString connectionString = new ConnectionString("mongodb://localhost:27017/test");
        final MongoClientSettings mongoClientSettings = MongoClientSettings.builder()
            .applyConnectionString(connectionString)
            .build();
        return MongoClients.create(mongoClientSettings);
    }
}

Synchronous Transactions

@Test
@Transactional
public void whenPerformMongoTransaction_thenSuccess() {
    userRepository.save(new User("John", 30));
    userRepository.save(new User("Ringo", 35));
    Query query = new Query().addCriteria(Criteria.where("name").is("John"));
    List<User> users = mongoTemplate.find(query, User.class);

    assertThat(users.size(), is(1));
}

Note that we can’t use listCollections command inside a multi-document transaction – for example:
