System Design Cheatsheet

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

Basic Steps

Clarify and agree on the scope of the system

User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
- Who is going to use it?
- How are they going to use it?

This snippet is a working example of a test against the Http service in Angular 2.0.

It is a very simple test, and provides an example of how to:

Provide the right wiring to the test injector
Inject the fake XHRBackend (i.e. MockBackend)
Define a potential request
Run the request in the framework
Set expectations on the result

Squashing Git Commits

The easy and flexible way

This method avoids merge conflicts if you have periodically pulled master into your branch. It also gives you the opportunity to squash into more than 1 commit, or to re-arrange your code into completely different commits (e.g. if you ended up working on three different features but the commits were not consecutive).

Note: You cannot use this method if you intend to open a pull request to merge your feature branch. This method requires committing directly to master.

Switch to the master branch and make sure you are up to date:

🎨 when improving the format/structure of the code
🚀 when improving performance
✏️ when writing docs
💡 new idea
🚧 work in progress
➕ when adding feature
➖ when removing feature
🔈 when adding logging
🔇 when reducing logging
🐛 when fixing a bug
