  • I may use Flask-Admin initially to offload the "CRUD" operations to have an initial prototype fast but then drop it ASAP because I don't want to write a "flask-admin application" to fight against later on. If the application is mainly "CRUD", then Flask-Admin is suitable.

    Now...

    Would you do a breakdown/list of all the jobs you've done by sector/vertical and by function/role and by application functionality?

  • openapi-typescript-codegen

    NodeJS library that generates Typescript or Javascript clients based on the OpenAPI specification

  • I have been in love with Loopback.io since v2 even though it was a bit of a rollercoaster.. Loopback v4 is a beautiful library. Its been around longer than nestjs but that's the easiest thing to compare it too. I recently have been creating lb4 servers that interface nextjs and react native clients. Initially, I identify my entities and use cases that I want to build. I then use the lb4 cli to auto generate models, relations, controllers, datasources, interceptors (add logic on methods/classes). I can start testing them with the OpenAPI explorer. With the openapi-typescript-codegen library I can generate services from my lb4 OpenAPI spec that I can use on the client side. From there, you can really query data easily with the loopback filter (which can be used on the client too). I initially started doing this with angular1/2+ but its been pleasant using many clients. Even though I have been leveraging it for years in production, I am still learning and exploring. There are many other awesome things I can expand on or explain if you are interested!
