If you’re a developer working with WordPress, setting up a local environment that mirrors a production setup can save you a lot of time and frustration. Testing locally means you can make tweaks and adjustments without risking your live site or dealing with the sluggishness of a remote server. But, to really replicate a production
When building web applications or content management tools, there are often situations where we need to post content to WordPress programmatically. By tapping into WordPress’s REST API, this process becomes highly efficient. In this guide, I’ll show you how to use axios and TypeScript to post content to a WordPress site. The approach here leverages
Connection strings are central to working with databases, APIs, and other systems where authentication, schema, and server details need to be specified. A connection string combines these details into one, convenient string—like a condensed map to the exact data you’re trying to reach. However, while a connection string packs a lot of essential information, sometimes
When working with Python applications, managing environment variables for things like passwords, API keys, and other configurations is essential. Environment variables keep sensitive information secure and flexible, allowing you to adjust configurations without modifying your code. But what if the necessary environment variable isn’t set, or you want an alternative, like a CLI prompt, to
When it comes to writing versatile and user-friendly Python scripts, knowing how to handle command-line arguments is invaluable. These small, powerful tools enable users to control how a script behaves without modifying code. Python’s argparse library is built precisely for this purpose, and it simplifies the process significantly. In this guide, I’ll walk you through
Handling audio in a browser becomes tricky when dealing with non-standard formats like raw PCM. In this post, I’ll walk through how I worked with 24 kHz, 16-bit PCM audio encoded in Base64 and made it playable using the <audio> element and TypeScript. Browsers cannot play raw PCM directly, so the goal is to wrap
When I first started working with Trino (formerly PrestoSQL), I found it powerful but somewhat tricky to connect from Python while handling authentication, SSL, and dynamic query parameters. After spending some time figuring it out, I decided to share what I’ve learned to help anyone facing the same challenges. If you’re trying to connect to
When working on a complex project with both Storybook and Next.js, you might run into issues during the build process. I recently hit a frustrating roadblock when my Next.js build started compiling Storybook files. It turned out that the build was trying to process *.stories.* files, which shouldn’t have been included. To avoid such conflicts,
When I first decided to try Scala, I was excited to explore its blend of functional and object-oriented programming. But before writing any code, I had to get everything set up on my Mac. Fortunately, with Homebrew, the process was smooth and straightforward. If you’re in the same boat, this guide will walk you through
When building applications with large datasets, one of the most common challenges is implementing efficient pagination. In Prisma, you can use the findMany method along with take and skip to handle pagination easily. However, when paginating data, you often need the total record count to display the number of pages, and Prisma doesn’t provide this
As a Python developer, there are times when I need to create temporary files—whether it’s for storing intermediate data, testing, or simply handling temporary storage requirements. But here’s the catch: manually creating and deleting files can become cumbersome. That’s where Python’s tempfile module swoops in to save the day! This built-in module offers a simple
When working with Next.js, the default port for the development server is set to 3000. While this is convenient for many projects, there are times when we need to run our application on a different port, such as 5000. Maybe it’s a port conflict, or perhaps it’s just a personal preference. Whatever the reason, configuring
