Struggling to Set Up Your Dev Environment? Your Desktop Feels It Too! Here's Fix!

ArnavK-09 — Thu, 19 Dec 2024 08:19:27 +0000

🤔 What Even is Daytona?

Alright, picture this: you start or clone a project repo, and then BAM! You’re hit with a wall of instructions — "Install Node.js v12.3.7, Rust 2021, Python 3.11, and also please sacrifice a goat for good luck."

NOT ANYMORE! 🎉

Daytona is here to rescue. It’s a Dev Environment Manager that sets up cloud-based workspaces for you in seconds. No installs, no dependencies, no prayers needed. Just run one command and watch as Daytona spins up a fully configured cloud workspace — IDE, dependencies, environment and all.

No more debugging your environment. Daytona does it for you. It’s like having a super-smart intern who’s also way too fast.

⚙️ How Does It Work?

Install Daytona (Don’t worry, it’s easy as eating).
Run a single command to create your workspace.
Watch your oroject open automatically with everything set up perfectly.
Start coding like a pro. No environment setup. No headaches.

Daytona does all configuration using devcontainers. These magical json files define what your dev environment looks like (which image to use, which extensions to install, etc.). So, the same dev environment works for everyone on your team.

📥 Installation (Because you can't use it without it, Right?)

One of the best things about Daytona is that it’s cross-platform. Windows, macOS, and Linux — Daytona runs everywhere. No compatibility headaches, no "Well, it works on my OS" nonsense.

https://www.daytona.io/docs/installation/installation/

Just Follow the official installation guide here!

👨‍🍳 Once installed, check if Daytona is ready with:

daytona

If it spits out a without any errr, you’re golden. If it doesn’t... uhmmm... Contact Daytona friendly support on slack or get help on github.

Cross-platform? Yes, it works everywhere, no need of using subsystem or almighty linuix

🛠️ Setting It All Up

Add Your Git Provider (because that's the way to manage codebase)

daytona git-providers add

Now Daytona will guide you step by step using terminal UI. No more typing hundreds of cmds in terminal like it’s 2015.

Daytona allows you to integrate your preferred Git Provider, enhancing your development workflow. This integration enables you to access and manage your repositories directly within Daytona, simplifying workspace creation from existing projects.

https://www.daytona.io/docs/configuration/git-providers/

Add Cloud Providers (because personal dssktop dev environments are so last decade)

daytona provider add

Now you have automatically setuped cloud Run your workspaces on AWS, GCP, or Azure. Why should your laptop do the heavy lifting?

Providers are plugins through which Daytona integrates with various technologies to create and manage development environments. Providers abstract complexities of underlying technologies and serve as the foundational engines that Daytona leverages to deploy and run your environments, whether through containerization, orchestration, or cloud-based virtual machines

https://www.daytona.io/docs/configuration/providers/

Set Your Deployment Target (fancy, right?)

daytona target set

😎👍 Boom, you are close to cook up your own dev environment!

A Target refers to the specific destination or environment where your development setups, facilitated by various Providers, are deployed and managed. Providers define the method and technology used to create your environments, while Targets specify the precise location or platform where these environments will reside.

https://www.daytona.io/docs/configuration/targets/

Set Your IDE (because Vim is for wizards ig)

daytona ide

Want to use VS Code, Jetbrain, Pystarm, Fleet, Zed, Cursro and any other ide??? Great. Daytona supports all, you just have to choose by your heart!! Daytona opens it for you!

https://www.daytona.io/docs/usage/ide/

🎉 Creating Your First Workspace (This is the Good Stuff) 🎉

Here’s the moment you’ve been waiting for. Run this to create workspace:-

daytona create

And follow cli, as easy as that....

https://www.daytona.io/docs/usage/workspaces/

Here’s what the magical happens next:

Daytona starts its duty and create new workspace from repo!
It sets up a devcontainer with all the dependencies you need.
It launches your companion ide(yes, no need to burn your RAM 🧙‍♂️).
You start coding, not fighting with dependencies and environment setup.

¡ No Node.js installs. No Travels to terminal errors. Just code. ! 🗣️🔥

🦸‍♂️ Devcontainers: The Real MVP

Okay, let's talk devcontainers. It’s like a blueprint for your development environment. You define what tools, extensions, and Docker images you need — and Daytona builds it for you.

🫂 Here’s an example devcontainer.json:


{
  "name": "Rust Dev Environment",
  "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/rust:latest",
  "customizations": {
    "vscode": {
      "extensions": [
        "rust-lang.rust-analyzer",
        "tamasfe.even-better-toml",
        "serayuzgur.crates"
      ]
    }
  },
  "postCreateCommand": "cargo run"
}

...that I used for my own project

🫡 https://github.com/ArnavK-09/sample-rust-actix

🤫 This file tells Daytona:

Which Docker image to use (here, it’s a Rust container)
Which IDE extensions to install (like Rust tools, TOML support, etc.)
What command to run when everything is ready (cargo run, in this case)

Why it matters: Devcontainers make sure every developer on your team has the same environment.

If you want to know everything you can do with a devcontainer.json, follow https://www.daytona.io/docs/usage/builders/#dev-container

https://containers.dev/
https://devcontainer.ai/ (yes, "AI" "AI" "AI" trend)

** 💥 Myself Using Daytona 🎇**

So, I used Daytona for my Rust project. Here's what happened:

I ran this single command to copy boilerplate:

daytona create https://github.com/ArnavK-09/sample-rust-actix

Daytona spun up a fully-configured workspace with Rust, Cargo, Actix-Web, and everything else I needed.
My IDE (VS Code, which i configured as default using Daytona cli) opened automatically with the repo ready to go.
Kabloooom! I started coding my actix apiii

No more wasting 45 minutes of my day fixin environment. Feels amazing 🐬✨🎇☮️

Here are some official Boilerplates with preconfigured dev container for developers, didn't find desired one???? You can configure by own dev container using config

🎡 Enhancing CyclopsUI: Modernizing the Node Details Page with Ant-D!

ArnavK-09 — Fri, 19 Jul 2024 14:38:30 +0000

🥽 Introduction

Cyclops is an advanced monitoring tool designed to streamline Kubernetes (k8s) cluster management. Our ongoing mission is to provide an unparalleled user experience by continuously enhancing the interface and functionality. In this pr, i focused on modernizing the Node Details page by integrating Ant Design components. This blog post will detail the changes made, the benefits of these updates, and the immense effort involved in this transformation.

🐜 The Power of Ant Design

Ant Design is a comprehensive React UI library that offers a wealth of well-designed, high-quality components. It stands out for its consistency, flexibility, and ease of use, making it an ideal choice for modern web applications. By adopting Ant Design, I aimed to:

Enhance Visual Appeal: Create a more modern and visually appealing interface.
Ensure Consistency: Maintain a consistent look and feel throughout the application.
Improve Usability: Make the user interface more intuitive and user-friendly.

🚗 Modernizing the Gauges

🥚 Before

Cyclop's previous gauges, while functional, lacked the visual sophistication and interactivity that modern users expect. They were taken from react-gauge-component and didn't match the overall dashboard vibe.

import GaugeComponent from "react-gauge-component";
// ...
<GaugeComponent ... />

🍳 After

I transitioned to Ant Design's Progress component, which provides a clean, professional look and a smooth user experience.

import { Progress } from "antd";

<Progress
  type="dashboard"
  strokeWidth={10}
  status="normal"
  percent={resources.cpu * 100}
  strokeColor={gaugeColors}
/>
<h1 style={{ marginBottom: "6px" }}>
  <strong>CPU</strong>
</h1>
<h3>
  ({node.requested.cpu}m / {node.available.cpu}m)
</h3>

🎨 Color Palette

These vibrant colors are taken from Discord's branding colors, which fit well with the overall design!

const gaugeColors = {
  "0%": "#57F287",
  "50%": "#FEE75C",
  "100%": "#ED4245",
};

🍖 Benefits of New Gauges

Enhanced Visual Appeal: The new gauges are sleek and modern, enhancing the overall look of the Node Details page.
Consistency: Using Ant Design ensures a uniform appearance across different parts of the application.
Ease of Maintenance: Ant Design components are well-documented and maintained, reducing the effort needed for future updates.
Improved Readability: Users can more easily understand and interpret resource usage data.

🃏 Enhancing Condition/Status Cards

🥚 Before

The condition cards were basic and lacked visual indicators, making it difficult for users to quickly assess node conditions.

<Col
  span={6}
  style={{
    display: "flex",
    justifyContent: "center",
    alignItems: "center",
  }}
>
  <Card
    style={{
      borderRadius: "10px",
      backgroundColor: conditionColor("MemoryPressure"),
      width: "100%",
      margin: "5px",
      textAlign: "center",
      color: "white",
    }}
  >
    <h1 style={{ margin: "0" }}>MemoryPressure</h1>
  </Card>
</Col>

🍳 After

I upgraded the condition cards with Ant Design's Card and Progress components. These changes make the cards more informative and visually engaging.

import { Card, Progress } from "antd";
// ...
<Col span={8}>
  <div style={{ textAlign: "center", width: "80%" }}>
    <Progress
      type="dashboard"
      strokeWidth={10}
      status="normal"
      percent={resources.memory * 100}
      strokeColor={gaugeColors}
    />
    <h1 style={{ marginBottom: "6px" }}>
      <strong>Memory</strong>
    </h1>
    <h3>
      ({formatBytes(node.requested.memory)}
      {" / "}
      {formatBytes(node.available.memory)})
    </h3>
  </div>
</Col>

Utilizing status="normal" allowed me to bypass the check or cross symbols at the range limits of progress. After two days of searching, I finally discovered a solution on my own, since I received no assistance in the GitHub discussions.

🍖 Benefits

Quick Assessment: Circular progress indicators allow users to quickly gauge the status of various node conditions.
Aesthetic Improvements: The updated cards are more attractive and align seamlessly with the overall application design.
Informative: The cards provide more information at a glance, improving the user's ability to monitor node health effectively.
Ease of Use: Ant Design’s components are straightforward to implement, saving development time and effort.

🗓️ Adding the Creation Date

To provide users with more contextual information about each node, I added a section displaying the node's creation date. This small yet significant update enhances the transparency and usefulness of the Node Details page.

🥚 Before

Previously, there was no direct way for users to see when a node was created, which could be crucial for tracking and management purposes.

🍳 After

I added a simple row to display the node's creation date using Ant Design's Text component. This was achieved with minimal code but added substantial value to the interface.

<Row>
  <Text keyboard>
    Created on:{" "}
    {new Date(node.node?.metadata?.creationTimestamp.toString()).toLocaleString()}
  </Text>
</Row>

🤔 Benefits of Adding the Creation Date

Enhanced Information: Provides users with essential information about the node's lifecycle.
Ease of Use: The creation date is now easily accessible directly from the Node Details page.
Improved Management: Helps users keep track of node creation times, which is crucial for monitoring and management.

😓 The Lowkey Effort Behind the Update

Updating the Node Details page involved meticulous planning and execution. I dedicated significant time and effort to ensure a seamless integration of Ant Design components. This included:

Design Iterations: Creating multiple design prototypes and gathering feedback to ensure the best user experience.
Development and Testing: Writing clean, efficient code and thoroughly testing each component to ensure functionality and performance.
Collaboration: Coordinating efforts across different issues, including design, development, and quality assurance, to deliver a cohesive and polished update.

💻 Contribution Logs

Made update to the Cyclops UI repository through PR #443, addressing several important issues. These updates were aimed at modernizing the user interface and enhancing the overall user experience.

Fixed Issue #422: The outdated gauges on the NodeDetails.tsx page were replaced with more modern and visually appealing components. You can view the issue here.
Updated Condition Cards: Changes were made in relation to Issue #440 to update the condition cards, making them more informative and visually engaging.

These changes have been merged into the main repository with the following commit: 42fcbd7bdf71005f6c39eff73d9936114ac7e7d8. You can check out my contributions and other projects on my GitHub profile.

🖋️ Unlock Your Writing Potential with CopilotKit's AI-Powered Wizardry!

ArnavK-09 — Thu, 02 May 2024 20:49:22 +0000

💡 Why this?

I created this project to participate in the Quest challenge, but more importantly, to provide a seamless writing experience for technical writers like yourself. This article aims to showcase the power of AI in enhancing your writing process and delivering high-quality content effortlessly.

🔨 What's Being Built?

"Doped Caul" is a cutting-edge platform that combines the expertise of human writers with the capabilities of artificial intelligence. It allows technical writers to create and publish their articles efficiently, with the help of an AI assistant that can automatically enhance and complete your work. The platform boasts a user-friendly interface, a safe and secure environment with GitHub OAuth login, and a streamlined publishing process, eliminating the hassle of managing multiple platforms.

🧠 How Does It Work?

At the heart of "Doped Caul" lies a powerful frontend built with React, Refine, CopilotKit/React, and other modern technologies. When you start typing in the <CopilotTextarea /> component, it sends a request to the backend, which initiates a stream of AI-generated content using GPT-3.5 by OpenAI. This content is then seamlessly appended to your blog post or article, based on your preferences. The CopilotKit takes care of providing the necessary context, crafting beautiful prompts, and ensuring optimal results.

Post Context -> CopilotTextarea -> Backend -> Stream Response -> Shown on Frontend -> Accepted by Writer

⛅ Checkout full App preview on GitHub readme ⛅

✨ Getting Started

🔖 Wierd Name

Admittedly, the name "Doped Caul" might seem a bit peculiar at first, but it was a suggestion from my Discord friends and I decided to embrace the quirky vibe. After all, a unique name can help us stand out in the crowded tech world! 😄

🎨 UI and Color Scheme

For the user interface, I chose UnoCSS, inspired by Tero (the creator of NueJS) and his compelling article on the benefits of using UnoCSS over traditional CSS frameworks. As for the color scheme, I opted for a vibrant palette inspired by TikTok, following the recommendations from this article. The combination of modern UI and eye-catching colors aims to create an engaging and visually appealing experience for our users.

🛠️ Framework and Dependencies

I've always wanted to explore Refine, a powerful framework that streamlines development by providing seamless authentication, database integration, and other essential features. This project was the perfect opportunity to dive into Refine's ecosystem, which has proven to be truly awesome and time-saving.
To integrate AI capabilities, I relied on CopilotKit, a requirement for the Quest challenge. While I was initially forced to use React due to the choice of Refine and CopilotKit, I've grown to appreciate its strengths despite my initial unfamiliarity with the framework.
For the backend, I created a simple API with Express.js to interface with the OpenAI API. Initially, I tried using @copilotkit/backend, but due to some compatibility issues, I opted for a more straightforward approach:

app.post("/", async (req, res) => {
  const stream = openai.beta.chat.completions.stream({
    model: "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    temperature: 0.5,
    messages: req.body.messages,
  });
  res.header("Content-Type", "text/plain");
  for await (const chunk of stream.toReadableStream()) {
    res.write(chunk);
  }
  res.end();
});

Since CopilotKit sends a POST request with all the necessary data to gather the AI response, you'll need to add a corresponding POST request handler in your backend.

📝 Creation of App!

🎯 UI and Styling

I designed the entire UI myself, without relying on external components, to ensure full customization and alignment with the TikTok-inspired color scheme. Instead of a plain black background, I incorporated a subtle pattern from a website, adding an extra touch of beauty to the site.

🔤 Font Selection

After some exploration, I settled on a font that strikes a balance between aesthetics and user experience. While my initial choice wasn't optimal for UX, the current font should provide a pleasant reading experience for our users.

💻 Base Logic Stuff

🔒 Authentication and Database

"Doped Caul" utilizes Supabase for authentication, with a GitHub provider for a seamless login experience. I created a posts table (fields required mentioned in GitHub repo's README.md) in the database to store user's post content related data.

Refine.dev's [Supabase provider](https://refine.dev/docs/data/packages/supabase/ made it incredibly easy to configure the database and authentication, saving me a lot of time and effort.

🧠 CopilotKit Integration

I integrated CopilotKit by following their demo projects and documentation. Their React-supported packages greatly facilitated the connection between the frontend and backend, enabling the best use of AI models.

🚀 Publishing Posts

Currently, users can publish their AI-written articles directly to platforms like dev.to, medium.com, and hashnode.com, which provide APIs for publishing content. All API keys are securely handled on the client-side, ensuring that our database never stores any sensitive information. I utilized these platforms' APIs to streamline the publishing process for AI-generated content powered by CopilotKit.

📝 Markdown Rendering

To convert the AI-written articles from markdown to HTML for real-time preview, I used the marked package in conjunction with React's useMemo hook for optimal performance:

const userTextConvertedToMarkdown = useMemo(() => {
  return marked(userTypedContent);
}, [userTypedContent]);

Also I used Unocss's Typography plugin to preview markdown content beautifully without writing any extra css.

🔑 Environment Variables

To ensure smooth operation, "Doped Caul" requires a few environment variables:

VITE_SECRET="<your secret word(s) to encode secret data>"
VITE_SUPABASE_URL="<your supabase project url>"
VITE_SUPABASE_KEY="<your supabase project key>"
OPENAI_KEY="<your openai api key>"

Additionally, you'll need to configure your frontend origin in the backend to prevent CORS errors:

app.use(function (req, res, next) {
  res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "<your app url>");
  res.header(
    "Access-Control-Allow-Headers",
    "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept"
  );
  next();
});

Finally, provide your backend URL to the CopilotKit provider to establish communication:

<CopilotKit
  url="<your copilot backend url>"
  runtimeUrl="<your copilot backend url>"
>
  ....
</CopilotKit>

url field is depreciated in newer versions of copilotkit!

📦 Dependencies

I'm using the latest versions of the dependencies for CopilotKit, as previous versions were causing issues:

"@copilotkit/react-core": "^0.25.0",
"@copilotkit/react-textarea": "^0.35.0",

💝 End of this post

Thank you for taking the time to read this article! While this was my first attempt at writing for the Quest challenge, I recognize that there may be room for improvement. However, I've put in my best efforts to create a project that showcases the power of AI in enhancing the writing experience for technical writers.

🌟 I would greatly appreciate if you could star and vote for my repo/project, as well as react to this post. Your support means a lot and will motivate me to continue improving and delivering even better solutions in the future 🌟

Remember, "Doped Caul" may not be perfect, but it's a testament to my dedication and hard work (10 days of focused effort!). I'm excited to continue refining this project and addressing any bugs or issues that may arise.

🙌 Thank you, everyone, for your interest and support! 🙌

Introduction:

Reactivity is a key feature in modern web development, allowing for dynamic updates to the user interface based on changes in data or state. While frameworks like React, Vue, and Angular provide powerful tools for building reactive applications, it's also possible to implement reactivity with vanilla JavaScript. In this article, we'll explore how to build reactive HTML pages using only JavaScript, starting from scratch.

Step 1: Creating Reactive Values

To begin, we need a way to create reactive values in our application. These values will be the foundation of our reactive system, allowing us to track changes and update the UI accordingly. Here's a simple implementation of a reactive value:

function reactiveValue(initialValue) {
 let value = initialValue;
 const subscribers = [];

 function get() {
    return value;
 }

 function set(newValue) {
    if (value !== newValue) {
      value = newValue;
      subscribers.forEach((subscriber) => subscriber());
    }
 }

 function subscribe(subscriber) {
    subscribers.push(subscriber);
 }

 return { get, set, subscribe };
}

This reactiveValue function takes an initial value and returns an object with three methods: get, set, and subscribe. The get method simply returns the current value, while the set method updates the value and notifies any subscribed functions. The subscribe method allows us to register a function that will be called whenever the value changes.

Step 2: Creating Reactive Attributes

Next, we need a way to attach these reactive values to HTML elements. One approach is to create a custom attribute that we can add to any element. Here's an example of how we might define a data-reactive attribute:

<div data-reactive="name"></div>

We can then use JavaScript to retrieve the value of this attribute and create a reactive binding between the element and the corresponding reactive value. Here's an example of how we might implement this:

const reactiveElements = document.querySelectorAll('[data-reactive]');

reactiveElements.forEach((element) => {
 const name = element.dataset.reactive;
 const value = reactiveValue(null);

 // Set up a subscription to update the element when the value changes
 value.subscribe(() => {
    element.textContent = value.get();
 });

 // Update the value when the element changes
 element.addEventListener('input', (event) => {
    value.set(event.target.value);
 });
});

In this example, we first select all elements with a data-reactive attribute using document.querySelectorAll. We then iterate over these elements and extract the name of the reactive value from the attribute. We create a new reactive value with the initial value of null, and set up a subscription to update the element whenever the value changes. Finally, we add an event listener to update the value whenever the element changes.

Step 3: Creating Reactive Expressions

While reactive attributes allow us to bind individual elements to reactive values, we often want to perform more complex operations involving multiple values. To handle this, we can create reactive expressions, which are functions that take one or more reactive values as inputs and produce a new reactive value as output. Here's an example of how we might implement a simple reactive expression:

function reactiveExpression(fn, ...values) {
 const result = fn(...values.map((value) => value.get()));
 const dependencies = values.filter((value) => value instanceof ReactiveValue);

 const reactiveValue = reactiveValue(result);

 dependencies.forEach((dependency) => {
    dependency.subscribe(() => {
      reactiveValue.set(fn(...dependencies.map((value) => value.get())));
    });
 });

 return reactiveValue;
}

This reactiveExpression function takes a function fn and one or more reactive values as arguments. It calls fn with the current values of the input reactive values, and creates a new reactive value with the result. It then sets up subscriptions to update the output reactive value whenever any of the input reactive values change.

Here's an example of how we might use reactiveExpression to create a reactive expression that calculates the sum of two reactive values:

const a = reactiveValue(1);
const b = reactiveValue(2);
const c = reactiveExpression((x, y) => x + y, a, b);

In this example, we create two reactive values a and b with initial values of 1 and 2, respectively. We then create a reactive expression c that adds a and b together, using the reactiveExpression function. Whenever either a or b changes, the c reactive value will be updated automatically.

Conclusion:

Building reactive HTML pages with vanilla JavaScript involves creating reactive values, attaching them to HTML elements, and combining them using reactive expressions. By following these steps, we can create robust and scalable reactive systems without the need for large frameworks. Whether you're building a simple form
