Quick Start: Spring Boot and WildfFly 8.2 on OpenShift

By

A really “Quick Start” with Spring Boot, WildFly and OpenShift as opposed to my last, more descriptive article.

Prerequisite

Before we can start building the application, we need to have an OpenShift free account and client tools installed.

Step 1: Create WildFly application

To create an application using client tools, type the following command:

rhc create-app <app-name> jboss-wildfly-8 --scaling

This command creates an application using WildFly 8.2 cartridge with scalability option and clones the repository to <app-name> directory.

Step 2: Delete Template Application Source code

OpenShift creates a template project that can be freely removed:

git rm -rf .openshift deployments src README.md pom.xml

Commit the changes:

git commit -am "Removed template application source code"

Step 3: Pull Source code from GitHub

git remote add upstream https://github.com/kolorobot/openshift-wildfly-spring-boot.git
git pull -s recursive -X theirs upstream master

Step 4: Push changes

The basic template is ready to be pushed to OpenShift:

git push

The initial deployment (build and application startup) will take some time (up to several minutes). Subsequent deployments are a bit faster.

You can now browse to: http://<app-name>-<domain>.rhcloud.com and you should see home page with the form.

Parameterized tests in JavaScript with Jest

By
Parameterized tests are used to test the same code under different conditions. One can set up a test method that retrieves data from a data source. This data source can be a collection of objects, external file or maybe even a database. The general idea is to make it easy to test different conditions with the same test method to avoid duplication and make the code easier to read and maintain. Jest has a built-in support for tests parameterized with data table that can be provided either by an array of arrays or as tagged template literal .

Shortcuts.app in macOS is a tool for automating repetitive tasks. It has a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface and supports tasks such as opening apps, copying/pasting text, and sending messages. In this article, I'll demonstrate how to create a shortcut that inserts the current date into any app, which I use to quickly add dates to my notes, emails or Slack messages.
