Understanding and Implementing Schemas in Python Introduction In the world of programming, particularly in the context of data management and validation, schemas play a vital role. A schema is essentially a blueprint or a predefined structure that defines the expected format, data types, and constraints for a given data entity. In this blog, we will delve into the concept of schemas in Python, exploring what they are, why they are important, and how you can implement them in your projects. What is a Schema? A schema serves as a contract between different components of a system, ensuring that data is consistent, valid, and well-structured. It defines the rules for how data should be organized, what fields it should contain, and what types of values those fields can hold. In essence, a schema acts as a set of rules that data must adhere to in order to be considered valid. Why Are Schemas Important? Data Validation: Schemas provide a way to validate incoming data.

Lifting State Up in React Js

Lifting State Up in React Js

 

React.js is a popular JavaScript library used for building web applications. One of the key principles of React is the concept of "lifting state up", which refers to the process of moving the state of a component higher up in the component hierarchy.

In this blog, we will explore what lifting state up means and how it can benefit your React application.

What is Lifting State Up?

In React, each component has its own state. However, sometimes multiple components need to share the same state or data. This is where lifting state up comes into play.

Lifting state up involves moving the state of a component higher up in the component hierarchy. This means that the state is no longer confined to a single component but can be shared and accessed by multiple components.

By lifting state up, you can create a more efficient and scalable application. Rather than having each component manage its own state, you can centralize the state and make it easier to manage and update.

How to Lift State Up in React?

To lift state up in React, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Identify the state that needs to be shared

The first step in lifting state up is to identify the state that needs to be shared. This could be any data or state that multiple components need to access or modify.

For example, let's say you have a component that displays a list of items. Each item has a checkbox that allows the user to select it. The state of the checkboxes needs to be shared with a parent component that needs to know which items have been selected.

  1. Move the state to a parent component

Once you have identified the state that needs to be shared, you need to move it to a parent component. This means that the state will no longer be managed by the child component but by the parent component.

For example, you could create a parent component that manages the state of the checkboxes. This component would render the child component that displays the list of items and passes the state of the checkboxes as props.

  1. Pass the state down as props

After moving the state to the parent component, you need to pass it down to the child component as props. This allows the child component to access and modify the state.

For example, you could pass the state of the checkboxes as a prop to the child component that displays the list of items. This would allow the child component to access and display the state of the checkboxes.

  1. Handle state changes in the parent component

Finally, you need to handle any state changes in the parent component. This means that any updates or changes to the state should be done in the parent component and not in the child component.

For example, if a user selects an item in the list, the child component should notify the parent component of the change. The parent component can then update the state and pass the updated state down to the child component as props.

Here are some benefits of lifting state up in React:

  1. Improved Data Flow: When state is lifted up to a higher-level component, it becomes accessible to all the child components. This allows for a more streamlined data flow between components, which can improve the overall performance and organization of the application.

  2. Simplified Code: By lifting state up, you can simplify the code of your child components. Instead of maintaining their own state, child components can receive the state data as props from the higher-level component. This can reduce the complexity of the code and make it easier to maintain.

  3. Easier Testing: Lifting state up can make it easier to test your components. By having a single source of truth for the state data, you can test the behavior of your components more easily and ensure that they are working as expected.

  4. Better Reusability: By lifting state up, you can create reusable components that can be used across different parts of your application. Because the state data is passed down as props, these components can be easily customized and reused in different contexts.

  5. Improved Performance: Lifting state up can also improve the performance of your application. By reducing the number of components that maintain their own state, you can reduce the number of re-renders that occur in your application. This can lead to faster load times and a smoother user experience.


Example of lifting state up in React:

Let's say we have a simple application that displays a list of items and allows the user to select one of them. When an item is selected, we want to display some information about it in another component.

First, we'll create two components: ItemList and ItemDetails. The ItemList component will display a list of items, and the ItemDetails component will display the details of a selected item.

function ItemList(props) { const { items, selectedItem, onSelectItem } = props; return ( <div> <h2>Items</h2> <ul> {items.map(item => ( <li key={item.id} onClick={() => onSelectItem(item)}> {item.name} </li> ))} </ul> </div> ); } function ItemDetails(props) { const { selectedItem } = props; if (!selectedItem) { return <div>No item selected</div>; } return ( <div> <h2>{selectedItem.name}</h2> <p>{selectedItem.description}</p> </div> ); }

Next, we'll create a higher-level component called App that will manage the state of the selected item and pass it down to the ItemList and ItemDetails components as props.

function App() { const [selectedItem, setSelectedItem] = useState(null); const handleSelectItem = (item) => { setSelectedItem(item); }; return ( <div> <ItemList items={[ { id: 1, name: "Item 1", description: "Description 1" }, { id: 2, name: "Item 2", description: "Description 2" }, { id: 3, name: "Item 3", description: "Description 3" }, ]} selectedItem={selectedItem} onSelectItem={handleSelectItem} /> <ItemDetails selectedItem={selectedItem} /> </div> ); }

In this example, the App component manages the state of the selected item using the useState hook. It also defines a callback function called handleSelectItem that is passed down to the ItemList component as a prop. When the user clicks on an item in the list, the handleSelectItem function updates the selected item state.

The ItemList component receives the list of items and the selected item state as props. When an item in the list is clicked, it calls the onSelectItem callback with the selected item, which updates the state in the App component.

The ItemDetails component receives the selected item state as a prop and displays the details of the selected item. If no item is selected, it displays a message saying that no item is selected.

By lifting the state of the selected item up to the App component, we can share it between the ItemList and ItemDetails components and keep them in sync. This makes it easy to manage the state of the application and ensure that it behaves correctly.


Happy Learning!! Happy Coding!!

How to implement error boundaries in React Js

Error boundaries in React Js In this post, we will learn about "Error Boundaries in React Js". First of all, why we required Error Boundaries? This is the first question comes in my mind, as before React 16, we don't have any mechanism to catch error inside components and because of which whole app in broken state on next renders. No ways to handle these errors in React Components, nor it gives any methods to recover from them. React 16 introduces a new concept to handle such errors by using the error boundaries. So now, if any error found in a part of the UI, it does not break the whole application. According to official document of React Js, There are following few areas in application, where error boundaries are not suitable solution. a) Event handlers b) Asynchronous code (e.g., setTimeout) c) Server-side rendering d) Errors are thrown in the error boundary itself  For complex application which contains multiple components, we can declare multiple error boundaries to ...

How to fetch data using  Axios - Http Get Request in React Js? In one of my previous post, I had explained all about Fetch() method to retrieve data from api server. In this post, I am going to demystify how to achieve same thing using axios. Axios has many advantages over fetch() method. 1) Axios has the ability to intercept HTTP request. 2) With axios.all() method, you can make simultaneous requests, simply send an array of request to this method, then use axios.spread() method to assign the properties of the response array to separate varialbes. 3) Axios automatically stringifies the data when sending requests, as in fetch() method, you would have to do it manually. 4) You can set response timeout. 5) Support backward compatibility, this is because it uses XMLhttprequest under the hood.  Fetch User Data Using Axios - Get Request Installation: npm install axios or yarn add axios Sample Code: A) index.js import   React   from   "react" ; import   ReactDOM...

How to fetch data from an API using fetch() method in React Js? Now a day, we can't imagine web application without API so one of the basic requirement of any web application is to communicate with servers through HTTP protocol. This can be easily done using Fetch and Axios .  In this post, we are mainly focusing on Fetch. The Fetch API provides a fetch() method defined on the window object. The fetch method has one mandatory argument i.e., URL of the resource to be fetched. This method returns promise object that can be used to retrieve response of the request.  There are following limitations of Fetch API: a) Fetch does not allows cancelling request and request timeout. b) Fetch does not provide a way to intercept HTTP requests. c) Fetch has no url in request object. d) No installation is required. e) Fetch does not have XSRF protection. f) Fetch uses the body property. g) Fetch is a two step process when handling JSON data, first - to make actual request. second - to call j...
