Spring DI with different styles

Leverage shell commands to quickly edit text on Visual Studio Code

-

I really like vi. When I started using Visual Studio Code as my main editor shortly after it hit version 1, one thing I felt missing in Code was the ability to quickly edit text using various commands already available on your shell. For example, let’s say you’re editing a section of text that looks like following.

Contributors:

    - Mike, 3 PRs
    - Elizabeth, 5 PRs
    - Robert, 2 PRs
    - Mary, 10 PRs

If you want to order the contributors by the amount of contributions, in vi, you can utilise shell’s sort command:

  1. Select the list of contributors
  2. Execute a shell command sort -t, -k 2 -n -r on the visual mode

Then you’ll get

Contributors:

    - Mary, 10 PRs
    - Elizabeth, 5 PRs
    - Mike, 3 PRs
    - Robert, 2 PRs

If you want to drop the number of PRs from the list, you can just pipe the sort output to cut command (e.g. sort -t, -k 2 -n -r | cut -d, -f1), because it’s just a shell command!

Contributors:

    - Mary  
    - Elizabeth  
    - Mike  
    - Robert

You can leverage all the powerful commands available on your shell! And, this is exactly what Edit with Shell Command extension offers you on Code; Editing selected text with commands available on your shell.

Here is how it works ⬇️ (Example text is different from the above)

You can also just insert shell commands output at the cursor position instead of modifying text in the editor.

If you often come across situations where you feel, “Ah… it would be a piece of cake if I can use foo command on the shell”, give the extension a try on your Code 👍

Use Blogger API from its Java client

-
Google Blogger provides an API to create and edit blog posts on Blogger. See their Introduction here. It also provides API client libraries for various languages including Java, JS, Python, etc. As I haven't found a sample app for the Java client, I'm writing this with the hope that this can save someone's time. In this post, I'm going to create a new blog post with a title "My Test Post" . Prerequisite You have a blog on Blogger (in this post, it's https://blog.example.org ) You have a GCP project with Billing enabled. You have gcloud command installed. cf. here . Steps Enable Blogger API Create OAuth 2.0 credentials Create OAuth consent screen Create a Java app that update your blog Get a new OAuth token Run the Java app to create a new post on your blog Step 1. Enable Blogger API Go to Blogger API page, make sure the correct project is selected, then enable the API. https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/blogger.googleapis.com...
