Just some notes about my attempt to upgrade to webpack 4

If you enjoyed reading this, I'm intending to do more blogging like this over here: https://cdgd.tech

This is not a complaint about Webpack or v4 in any way. This is just a record of my process trying it out so I could provide feedback to the webpack team

Hmm... I don't see any docs for 4.0 on https://webpack.js.org. I guess I'll just wing it. All I need to do is npm i -D webpack@next, right?

Advanced example for eagerly prefetching async data in a React component.
// This is an advanced example! It is not intended for use in application code.
// Libraries like Relay may make use of this technique to save some time on low-end mobile devices.
// Most components should just initiate async requests in componentDidMount.
class ExampleComponent extends React.Component {
_hasUnmounted = false;
state = {
externalData: null,
};

In this article I will take a very simplistic approach in understanding memory leaks and I will also attempt to diagnose them.

In todays world of abundant memory, we seldom worry about memory leakages. But I hate to tell you that we live in a real world and nothing comes for free.

Oh my fancy functional programming

Disclosure: I absolutely love functional programming. Functional programming is cool and with the new ES6 syntax it becomes even cooler.

Export TOTP tokens from Authy

Exporting your 2FA tokens from Authy to transfer them into another 2FA application

IMPORTANT - Update regarding deprecation of Authy desktop apps

Past August 2024, Authy stopped supported the desktop version of their apps:
See Authy is shutting down its desktop app | The 2FA app Authy will only be available on Android and iOS starting in August for details.

And indeed, after a while, Authy changed something in their backend which now prevents the old desktop app from logging in. If you are already logged in, then you are in luck, and you can follow the instructions below to export your tokens.

If you are not logged in anymore, but can find a backup of the necessary files, then restore those files, and re-install Authy 2.2.3 following the instructions below, and it should work as expected.

import * as React from "react";
import { RouteComponentProps, withRouter } from "react-router";
// Scroll restoration based on https://reacttraining.com/react-router/web/guides/scroll-restoration.
export var ScrollToTop = withRouter(
class ScrollToTopWithoutRouter extends React.Component<RouteComponentProps<any>, void> {
componentDidUpdate(prevProps: Readonly<RouteComponentProps<any>>) {
if (this.props.location !== prevProps.location) {
window.scrollTo(0, 0)
}

Commit message guidelines

Commit Message Guidelines

Short (72 chars or less) summary

More detailed explanatory text. Wrap it to 72 characters. The blank
line separating the summary from the body is critical (unless you omit
the body entirely).

Write your commit message in the imperative: "Fix bug" and not "Fixed
bug" or "Fixes bug." This convention matches up with commit messages
