  Project mention: Modify Deep State of App | reddit.com/r/reactjs | 2021-06-17

  That's a great hunch. Usually on real apps with APIs you'll use something like Normalizr to flatten your data structure. For it to work you will need a unique id for every data point.

• dredd

  5 3,673 5.8 JavaScript

  Language-agnostic HTTP API Testing Tool

  

  Project mention: Front End UI Test Automation With Mock API | reddit.com/r/csharp | 2021-05-18

  To test the API, I recommend a proper API testing framework that can run a full test suite without you having to write a single test case. In this area, I recommend Dredd and schemathesis. These frameworks will get you covered when it comes to ensuring that the API server complies with the API specification. You may find Dredd a bit confusing at the beginning, in which case I recommend a tutorial I wrote a while ago about testing with Dredd. In addition, you can consider using just-apis, which allows you to define your own test cases for the API in YAML files (so no programming required).

• FunctionScript

  2 1,471 6.8 JavaScript

  An API gateway and framework for turning functions into web services (by FunctionScript)

  

  Project mention: The Railsification of SaaS | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-03-09

  You're half-right - we have a specification called FunctionScript [0] that can act as what's basically a universal translation layer for any API. You just generate a proxy to it using FunctionScript. So it's possible to add GraphQL APIs to our stdlib, it's just not convenient right now. All of Shopify is a GQL API, for example.

  The reason we don't support GQL APIs natively is because we designed Autocode to follow the best practices of the top API companies we knew; Twilio and Stripe. Both companies designed their SDKs in a way that feels intuitive: a call to their API is achieved via a namespaced function call -- it's very Railslike. Everything available in our stdlib follows that convention as we felt it was the most intuitive approach to API / SDK design.

• WebODM

  Project mention: What is similar to Google Earth/Maps but with current images or at maybe a few days old. | reddit.com/r/GoogleMaps | 2021-05-01

  Satellite imagery is expensive especially because you can only take photos when the satellite is overhead. For something like this, a drone is most likely your best bet, even if it takes a bit of effort to get it working. There are a bunch of tools out there that will handle the stitching of imagery for you like https://www.opendronemap.org/webodm/
