PostGIS makes querying by latitude and longitude easy. With Hasura's first class support for PostGIS we can add GIS abilities to GraphQL and make querying for data by location possible.

Hasura is an incredible new tool that offers an easier way to build an app faster and securely with flexibility when you need it. Including database migrations, websocket real time data, role base access controls, schedule events, cron jobs, and more.

It has become a swiss army knife of tooling with just the right amount of configuration, and escape hatches when you need to execute your own business logic.

Getting started with Hasura locally on your development machine can be accomplished in a few short minutes. It requires Docker, the Hasura CLI, and a docker-compose.yaml file provided by Hasura.

A few commands later and you have a full fledged GraphQL engine running connected to a Postgres database.

We'll examine how we can use Emotion, Tailwind and Babel to build out string validated Tailwind classes but leverage the power of Emotion.

Getting setup with drag and drop can be complicated, especially with multiple lists. We'll explore how to use react-beautiful-dnd to create multi-list drag and drops. We'll also use Immer and useReducer to create immutable data structures to simplify and improve the performance of our code.

The defacto standard for drag and drop in React is react-beautiful-dnd, however there are some caveats when it comes to using with a server side rendering library like Next.js. One call to resetServerContext in the custom _document will take care of all the issues.

Description: Next.js can be deployed anywhere, and the @sls-next/serverless-component component from Serverless makes it easy to deploy AWS. Using a serverless.yml config and a few environment variables you can deploy to multiple environments like staging, production, or even one off feature branches.

Securing your stripe webhooks is essential for preventing bad actors from bypassing payment. NextJS provides an easy way to create API routes, however there are few nuances to get them to play together. Like disabling the body parser and converting the req to a buffer.

We'll start by creating a new Hasura Cloud project. Then setup a new Security Group in AWS for a secure connection from Hasura Cloud to our RDS PostgreSQL database. Then we'll create our RDS PostgreSQL database, and setup the connection string in our Hasura Cloud project.

We'll explore how to build out a difficulty recipe display. Using a combination of flex direction column, and row. With selected prop to override styles on a custom badge component.
