Styling 🚢

One of our biggest challenges when launching new projects was dealing with UI components. We went through a long journey, starting from writing custom components from scratch to using other component libraries in our production projects 🛣️

Finally, we discovered that @mantinedev was the perfect solution for our UI component needs 🔥

Mantine offers a wide range of customizable components and hooks that make it easy to create visually appealing and functional interfaces 💅

It's an ideal match! 💘

Websockets 🚢

In the realm of real-time communication between clients and servers, websockets have emerged as a powerful tool.

Ship harnesses the capabilities of websockets to facilitate seamless interaction. 💪

To streamline the process, we've already established a service on each end of the application called 'socket-service'. This service manages connections and implements token-based authentication for enhanced security. 🛡️

Ship specifically utilizes https://t.co/DmNCnImkQB (@SocketIO)- a versatile library that empowers low-latency, bidirectional, and event-driven communication between clients and servers. ⚡

Furthermore, we integrate a Redis adapter that relies on the Redis Pub/Sub mechanism (https://t.co/aCntrSiNkS) for enhanced efficiency and scalability. 📈

Scheduler 🚢

In the world of web applications, repetitive tasks can be a real headache 🤯

But fear not, because we have the solution! 🔥

Say hello to Ship's Scheduler! ⏰

This powerful tool takes care of those pesky tasks that need to be executed at specific intervals throughout the day, month, or year 📆

Imagine effortlessly:

📧 Sending regular emails to customers

🛡️ Safeguarding your organization's critical data with backups

🧹 Keeping your databases clean by clearing logs

The Scheduler has got you covered! With its user-friendly interface, you can easily schedule jobs for execution on designated dates or even set recurring patterns. 🔁

So, how does it work? 🤔

The Scheduler consists of two essential components: cron jobs and handlers.

⏲️ Cron jobs patiently wait for the perfect moment, triggering more specific events.

👂 Handlers diligently listen to events generated by cron jobs, seamlessly running the assigned tasks.

Migrator 🚢

🌱 As the application grows, your database schema will also evolve. To ensure compatibility, you'll need to update existing documents when making changes to the schema (adding, removing, or replacing fields).

📝 Migrator is a service that handles MongoDB migrations, versioning, and logging, ensuring that your database data matches the new schema or requirements.

Here's how it works 🛠️

🔍 Migrator retrieves the current successful migration version from the 'migrationVersion' collection.

⬆️ It applies each migration above this version in sequence.

📊 Each migration is logged in the 'migrationLog' collection with its status.

Example 🌟

To assign special rights to some users, we add a new boolean field 'isAdmin' to the user schema. New users will have 'isAdmin' set automatically upon creation, but old users won't. 🥲

Migrator helps add the field to old users. Take a look at the screenshot to get a glimpse of the migration code 🖥️

Introducing node-mongo: an open-source reactive extension to the official Node.js MongoDB driver, developed by Paralect engineers. ⚡

Tested by hundreds of live products, node-mongo offers unbeatable features:

🔑 ObjectId mapping: Automatically converts 'ObjectId' to 'string' for the '_id' field.
✅ Schema validation: Validate your data before saving with Zod schemas.
🚀 Reactive: Get real-time events for document creation, updates, and deletions.
⏲️ CUD operations timestamps: Auto-set 'createdOn', 'updatedOn', and 'deletedOn' timestamps.
📫 Outbox support: Implement the transactional outbox pattern with `_outbox` collections.
📖 Paging: Enjoy a high-level paging API.

and much more...

Don't wait, try it now! Install with 'npm i @paralect/node-mongo' and share your valuable feedback in this thread. ✍️

What is your favorite database for applications development?

Ship relies on MongoDB, find out why here:

[Ship @paralect_ship]

Database 🚢

Ship relies on MongoDB as its main database. Embracing a document-oriented approach to data management, MongoDB offers Ship flexibility and ease of development that aligns with their goals 🏄

Why MongoDB? 🤔

📊 Easy Horizontal Scaling: MongoDB enables easy scaling across multiple servers to manage increasing data demands.

🗺️ Simplified Data Mapping: Its document-oriented approach streamlines the mapping of application data to database objects.

📜 Flexible Document Schemas: Offers adaptable, schema-less document structures, easing adjustments to evolving data needs.

While we continue to love and utilize MongoDB in production, we are not limited to it 📈

We complement MongoDB with relational databases and other specialized databases like Redis for caching or Elasticsearch for full-text search 🔎

[Ship @paralect_ship]

Schemas 🚢

Ship harnesses the power of Zod - the ultimate data validation library. 🌟

Why Zod? 🤔

Zod is designed with TypeScript in mind, enabling us to infer types from schemas rather than writing them separately. 💪

Ship minimizes errors across three critical domains:

1. Enhancing the user experience through web form validation, effectively preventing invalid submissions ✅

2. Maintaining data integrity, error prevention, and predictability in API requests 🔄

3. Ensuring data integrity and preventing inconsistencies by validating data before database insertions and updates 🔒
