Testing a Custom React Hook (useMap)

Developers of the most popular React Hooks libraries rely on tests to enforce the overall quality of their libraries' code. Tests cover a wide variety of different use cases, give developers confidence that everything works as intended and serve as a form of documentation. Anytime a test fails, developers know which set of arguments to use to replicate the bug encountered and squash it lands in the distribution package. When writing a custom React Hook for a library, the Hook should be tested regularly and against the fringest of edge cases to appeal to a greater number of projects. Setting up a testing environment that executes tests fast and reliably requires the proper tools: This testing environment allows you to write tests that closely resemble your user's actions. For example, @testing-library/react comes with methods for rendering a React component ( render ) to a container ( document.body by default) and finding an element within the rendered content of this container via the element's label ( screen.getByLabelText ):

I got a job offer, thanks in a big part to your teaching. They sent a test as part of the interview process, and this was a huge help to implement my own Node server.

This has been a really good investment!

Writing a Custom React Hook for Spotify's Web API (Implicit Grant Flow)

As one of the most popular music streaming services, Spotify encourages developers to craft new and engaging experiences for music lovers around the world. With over seventy endpoints, Spotify's Web API allows external applications to access Spotify's vast catalog of albums, artists, playlists, tracks and podcasts and detailed profile information about the current authorized user. All of this data opens the door to building applications that explore and analyze the data, generate new insights from the data or present the data in exciting new ways. Want to discover new artists based on the artists of the tracks in your playlists? Use the GET https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/{artist_id}/related-artists endpoint to fetch artists related to an artist based on the analysis of other users' listening histories. Want to re-imagine the user interface for searching and displaying tracks that match a query? Use the GET https://api.spotify.com/v1/search endpoint to query and retrieve results from Spotify's tracks catalog. If you decide to create a Spotify-connected application with React , then centralizing all Spotify-related logic inside of a single, reusable custom hook, named useSpotify , eases the integration of Spotify into the application. This organizes everything Spotify-related in one place. For a component to communicate with Spotify's Web API, just import the useSpotify hook and call the hook within the component. Whenever Spotify updates its API with new endpoints or modified response objects, you edit one single file in the codebase: useSpotify.js . The hook enables all components to get the authorization status of the user and interact with Spotify's Web API.
