Bits and Pieces: Expo Updates and Rails GDPR
Hello there,
You're receiving this e-mail because one day you decided it was a good idea to subscribe to Code in Bits and Pieces (my personal blog at https://derk-jan.com/). I haven't sent any emails recently, and that's because I didn't really write recently.
Feel free to comment, reply to this e-mail, unsubscribe, ask questions, or suggest topics. In this e-mail you find a short snippet on the last four articles I published with the newest at the bottom. I'm still working out the format for these e-mails but 🤷🏽♀️ (shrug) here we go.
Where have you been?
Long story short: COVID-19 + running a business (or two) isn't a great match. I wrote a ☕ 5 minute read on October 6th titled Where have you been?. Since that post, I'm doing much better. However, I've also been very busy trying to get back up from ... being down. It's a work in progress, and it's progressing well.
Refresher: Rails UJS · Custom Confirm
I wrote a ☕ 4 minute read on October 6th about Using a custom confirmation dialog, when using Rails unobtrusive JavaScript driver. You can read it here. I got positive private feedback, and I've seen people use it in the wild, which I'm very happy about.
Rails · Right to data portability
On May 19th I started on an article about GDPR and Rails, and how you can provide data portability to your users. I've just published it, and it's a ☕ 6 minute read. The first part of the article is also interesting if you don't work with Rails or Ruby at all.
Expo Updates · Custom update notification
And finally, here is a ☕ 6 minute read and tutorial how you can use expo-updates and show a custom notification dialog to your users.
That's all for today. I hope you like them, and until next time ❤ Because you made it all the way to the end, here is a Rotterdam picture, where I live:
