Unless you code your web pages in vanilla javascript, you’ll probably not notice this but when you do it’ll quite baffle you that the event listener you attach to a form’s submit event using addEventListener or onSubmit will not be invoked when you submit the form directly like this – form.submit().

The new touch-action property from the CSS Pointer Events spec can help us (as developers) specify what sort of manipulation (panning, zooming, etc.) should be allowed by a user in a particular region (one or more DOM elements) in a specific web page on a mobile device. It helps specify the sort of interactions or gestures allowed by the user in one or both axis.
In this quick tip we’ll see how to escape values in Rails before passing them on to an SQL query (preventing injection attacks) and then also look into how to do multi-inserts (at the DB level). Let’s first see how to escape values to prevent SQL injections in Rails:

Working with the React Material UI and trying to make routing work (or even understand how it works) with clicks on the LeftNav item items ? It’s actually quite simple once you get a hang of it.

This is a quick tip where I’ll show you how to stub (sometimes people also refer to it as mock, but I think stub is more technically correct in this case) Rails.env while writing unit tests for your application.
