Babel 7.12.0 Released with TypeScript 4.1 Beta Support and More

We just published a new minor version of Babel!

This release includes support for the new TypeScript 4.1 beta features: template literal types and key remapping in mapped types.

Additionally, we implemented two new ECMAScript proposals: class static blocks and imports and exports with string names.

Lastly, we renamed @babel/plugin-syntax-module-attributes (and the corresponding parser plugin moduleAttributes) to @babel/plugin-syntax-import-assertions (and importAssertions), to match the recent proposal updates. The old plugin will work until Babel 8, but it’s deprecated now.

You can read the whole changelog on GitHub.

If you or your company want to support Babel and the evolution of JavaScript, but aren’t sure how, you can donate to us on our Open Collective and, better yet, work with us on the implementation of new ECMAScript proposals directly! As a volunteer-driven project, we rely on the community’s support to fund our efforts in supporting the wide range of JavaScript users. Reach out at team@babeljs.io if you’d like to discuss more!

Highlights

TypeScript 4.1 (#12129, #12131)

TypeScript 4.1 beta was announced a few weeks ago, and it includes new syntax features for types.

Template literal types allow concatenating strings at the type-level, using the template literal syntax:

type Events = "Click" | "Focus";

type Handler = {
  [K in `on${Events}`]: Function
};

const handler: Handler = {
    onClick() {}, // Ok
    onFocus() {}, // Ok
    onHover() {}, // Error!
};

Together with key remapping in mapped types, they can be used to represent complex object transformations:

type Getters<T> = {
    [K in keyof T as `get${Capitalize<K>}`]: () => T[K]
};

interface Dog { name: string; age: number; }

const lazyDog: Getters<Dog> = /* ... */;
lazyDog.getName(); // string
lazyDog.age; // error!

You can read more about TypeScript 4.1 in the release announcement, or check other examples of what capabilities these new features unlock. However, remember that TypeScript 4.1 is still experimental!

Class static blocks (#12079, #12143)

Example on Babel REPL

class C {
  static #x = 42;
  static y;
  static {
    try {
      this.y = doSomethingWith(this.#x);
    } catch {
      this.y = "unknown";
    }
  }
}

This stage 2 proposal allows you to apply additional static initializations when a class definition is evaluated. It is not intended to replace static fields but to enable new use cases that could not be accomplished before. In the example above, the static property y is initialized using #x. If doSomethingWith(this.#x) throws, y will be assigned by a default value "unknown".

You can read more about it in the proposal’s description.

Thanks to Jùnliàng, you can test this proposal by installing the @babel/plugin-proposal-class-static-block plugin and adding it to your Babel config. Since it is likely you’re already using other class feature plugins, be sure to place this plugin before the others:

{
  "plugins": [
    "@babel/plugin-proposal-class-static-block",
    "@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties"
  ]
}

ℹ️ Babel implements an updated version of spec, which addresses feedback we have provided based on the current spec.

Imports and exports with string names (#12091)

Consensus was achieved during the last TC39 meeting with a PR to allow strings as the name of imported and exported variables:

// emojis.js
let happy = "wooo!";
export { happy as "😃" };

// main.js
import { "😃" as smile } from "./emojis.js";
console.log(smile); // wooo!

This allows using any valid UTF-16 name across modules, making JavaScript fully compatible with other languages such as WebAssembly.

You can enable parsing support for this feature by adding @babel/plugin-syntax-module-string-names to your configuration:

// babel.config.json
{
  "presets:" ["@babel/preset-env"],
  "plugins": [
    "@babel/syntax-module-string-names"
  ]
}

This feature will be enabled by default as soon as the syntax is merged into the main ECMAScript specification.

Please note that it’s not possible to transpile arbitrary strings to ES2015-style imports and exports: they will only be transpiled when targeting a different modules system such as CommonJS.

Import assertions parsing (#12139)

The “module attributes” proposal has been significantly changed and also renamed to “import assertions”.

We’ve implemented parsing support for this new version of the proposal, which can be enabled using the @babel/plugin-syntax-import-assertions plugin (or, if you are directly using @babel/parser, importAssertions):

 {
   "plugins": [
-    ["@babel/syntax-module-attributes", { "version": "may-2020" }]
+    "@babel/syntax-import-assertions"
   ]
 }

The most significant syntax changes are that the with keyword has been replaced with assert and assertions are now wrapped in curly braces:

import json from "./foo.json" assert { type: "json" };

import("foo.json", { assert: { type: "json" } });

You can read more about these changes in the proposal’s README.

⚠️ @babel/plugin-syntax-module-attributes will continue working until we release Babel 8.0.0, but will no longer be maintained, so we highly recommended migrating to the new plugin.

Microsoft Releases TypeScript 4.0 With Speed Boosting Features

icrosoft recently announced the availability of TypeScript version 4.0. The developers at the tech giant claimed that this version of the language represents the next generation of TypeScript with more expressivity, productivity as well as scalability.

Developed by the tech giant, TypeScript is an open-source programming language that is built on top of JavaScript by adding syntax for static type definitions. The types in this language provide a way to describe the shape of an object, providing better documentation as well as allowing TypeScript to validate that the code is working correctly.

According to the latest Stack Overflow Developers survey 2020, it secured the second position as the most loved language and  9th position among 25 programming languages as the most commonly used programming language by the developers. In one of our articles, we discussed how TypeScript weighs over other programming languages.

It is one of the fastest-growing programming languages among the developers. The motive behind this language is that while writing down the types of values and where they are used, developers can use TypeScript to type-check the code and let them know about mistakes before they run the code. TypeScript compiler can be used to strip away types from the code, leaving them with clean, readable JavaScript that runs anywhere.

In the present scenario, TypeScript is a core part of many developer’s JavaScript stack. The language adds optional types to JavaScript that support tools for large-scale JavaScript applications for any browser, for any host and on any operating systems.

The program manager of TypeScript, Daniel Rosenwasser, said in a blog post, “In our past two major versions, we looked back at some highlights that shined over the years. For TypeScript 4.0, we’re going to keep up that tradition.”

What’s New?

Based on the feedback by the developer’s community, TypeScript 4.0 includes many intuitive features that are focussed on boosting the performance of this language. Some of them are mentioned below-

Speed Improvements in build mode with –noEmitOnError

According to Rosenwasser, previously, compiling a program after a previous compile with errors under incremental would result in extremely slow performance when using the –noEmitOnError flag. The reason is, none of the information from the last compilation would be cached in a .tsbuildinfo file based on the –noEmitOnError flag.

But now TypeScript 4.0 changes this. The new update provides a great speed boost in these scenarios, and in turn, improves the build mode scenarios, which imply both –incremental and –noEmitOnError.

Django security releases issued: 3.2.4, 3.1.12, and 2.2.24 | Weblog | Django

Django security releases issued: 3.2.4, 3.1.12, and 2.2.24

Posted by Carlton Gibson  on Tháng 6 2, 2021

In accordance with our security release policy, the Django team is issuing Django 3.2.4, Django 3.1.12, and Django 2.2.24. These release addresses the security issue detailed below. We encourage all users of Django to upgrade as soon as possible.

CVE-2021-33203: Potential directory traversal via admindocs

Staff members could use the admindocs TemplateDetailView view to check the existence of arbitrary files. Additionally, if (and only if) the default admindocs templates have been customized by the developers to also expose the file contents, then not only the existence but also the file contents would have been exposed.

As a mitigation, path sanitation is now applied and only files within the template root directories can be loaded.

This issue has low severity, according to the Django security policy.

Thanks to Rasmus Lerchedahl Petersen and Rasmus Wriedt Larsen from the CodeQL Python team for the report.

CVE-2021-33571: Possible indeterminate SSRF, RFI, and LFI attacks since validators accepted leading zeros in IPv4 addresses

URLValidator, validate_ipv4_address(), and validate_ipv46_address() didn’t prohibit leading zeros in octal literals. If you used such values you could suffer from indeterminate SSRF, RFI, and LFI attacks.

validate_ipv4_address() and validate_ipv46_address() validators were not affected on Python 3.9.5+.

This issue has medium severity, according to the Django security policy.

Affected supported versions

• Django main branch
• Django 3.2
• Django 3.1
• Django 2.2

Video is powerful for a few reasons.

Plus, an Expert review of durable and affordable 360-degree camera options available.

MY OPINION: IS IT WORTH USING?

The difference between a 360 degree video and a normal video is that with a 360 degree video, you – the viewer – get far more control over what you get to look at.

So you can move around the scene and basically pick something that takes your interest whereas with a normal video, you’re in the hands of whoever put the video together to decide what it is you get to see.

The thing that makes 360 degree video really interesting is that it can be experienced in a variety of different ways. The most common one probably being on your computer where you use your mouse to click and drag around the scene. but where it starts to get a bit more interesting is when you use your smartphone or tablet.

Using something like the YouTube app you can move your device around and it will move as if you were actually there and a lot of these apps will let you use a headset which pushes 360-degree video into the realm of virtual reality.

If you put your headset on and watch it, it’s almost as if you were there. Especially if the 360 degree video was filmed in 3D. It’s really immersive. In the past, creating 360 degree videos required specialty camera rigs and really complex post-production techniques but nowadays, it’s not so anymore.

My aim with this VideoTours360 Ultimate Review article is to review an immersive 360 degree video app that leverages the ‘Zero touch’ trend in the new post covid economy where customers don’t want to leave their homes. With this app, you can create beautiful and highly-engaging 360 videos in just a couple of minutes – WITHOUT any sort of special skills or knowledge.

Just before the app went live, I got a review access to VideoTours360 Ultimate from the product creator a few days ago. There ‘s this buzzing rave in the online community about the app so I got curious and decided to do an in depth review

So this section of VideoTours360 Ultimate Review will serve to either validate or discredit the buzz this bad boy is getting all over the internet. So do stick around for a minute or two, I promise you’ll be getting a professional insight into this software… this will give enough information needed to make an informed purchase decision.

First, I’ll do a detailed overview of the offer and all that it comes with plus the problem it solves, then I’ll give a highlight of all it’s features and tools. Afterward, we’ll check out the true cost of the offer, the upsells (and if they complement the front end offer or not), then we’ll see who should take advantage of this offer.

Then the pros, the cons and finally an overall verdict. I believe this review article will help you make an informed purchase decision and get the best deal for your money, so hang on!

There are 4 reasons why you should get this right now:

• VideoTours360 Ultimate solves a pressing and common problem for every business owner in travel, education, car, game and other niches
• The platform works seamlessly and it’s super easy to use
• It creates an EASY TO ACTIVATE income opportunity for all its users, and finally
• It’ll be biased not to give kudos for such a good job!

VideoTour360 has the fastest drag and drop video builder, you can even include interactive hotspots right inside your videos, images and tours. And during the live tours, you have the ability to combine the power of virtual tours with ZOOM like LIVE Video Calls to engage & close prospects.

You can have users unlock coupons, discounts, freebies etc… from right inside your video when they complete pre-defined actions. E.g get 10% discount after opening 7 hotspots or ‘Spend 5 mins inside the tour Download FREE ebook’

You can even Sell Merchandise with eCommerce. Run an online 360° store tour and sell products directly to your audience. Is that not interesting?

With 1 -click you can with all your favorite marketing apps – email autoresponders, google, facebook, marketing automation, webinar platforms, appointment apps, etc. Meaning you can collect your visitor’s leads (email, phone and messenger) for effective followup (Add Any Major Autoresponder)

I like that this software incorporates an easy to use interface. The UI is clean and not to busy feeling. It very easy to upload, click some changes, and start sharing immediately.

VideoTours360 Ultimate gives you the power to go viral. The Inbuilt viral engine – allows your current tour visitors to share your tours and bring you more visitors who will also share and bring more – like a chain reaction.

Plus you can even embed your tours anywhere — Sales page, blogging platforms, site builders, e-commerce stores etc. And use the Inbuilt AI machine to analyze the behavioural patterns of your visitors, learn what part of the tour they love, and show that part first to new visitors.

And the last but not the list, you can make money by exporting & Installing your tours on your server or client’s server.

You will be getting the vendor’s greatest bonuses for your fast action (and also my ultimate huge bonuses at the last section of this VideoTours360 Ultimate Review)

VIDEOTOURS360 ULTIMATE REVIEW – FINAL VERDICT

From all that has been said, the value proposition is quite clear as it solves a true pressing and expensive problem.

If we come from the angle of outsourcing 360 degree video creation for your car sales, real estate property showcase and ecommerce products then you will have to pay for every new product you want to put out for sales which means sending thousands of dollars every month.

The least you will be charged for a good 360 degree video is about a $100 just be very conservative. Imagine you have 10 new property listings every month, that like paying $1000 every month for a relatively high quality video.

if you even hire big video agencies to create high quality 360 degree videos then expect to pay nothing less than $1000 for just one video. That’s expensive … right?

The bad part is they not include the other features like adding a hotspots to your tours, collect emails of your visitors or even going viral with your videos. So you see the true worth of the problem this software solves?

To be fair, I’ll have said VideoTours360 Ultimate is easily worth $297/Month . . . but for the added Inbuilt viral engine and AI machine to analyze the behavioural patterns of your visitors which opens a true opportunity to every user, then VideoTours360 Ultimate is fairly worth $497 – $997 per month.

Before I give my final thoughts, which I think is already obvious by now, I’ll like to say one or two things about the product creator and product vendor.

First, Ifiok NK is the CEO SnapiLABs Inc., a fast-rising software company responsible for a number of bestseller software platforms and solutions to real-life problems(just like VideoTours360 Ultimate.)

I found VideoTours360 Ultimate really easy to use when building my first ever virtual tour, yet flexible and powerful enough to implement quite extensive projects. I’ve tested the virtual tours across multiple device types and browsers, and it just works – without any technical headaches.

It allows me to me to focus on the design aspects, without having to learn to be a web developer. The customer service and platform reliability have both been excellent since and there is constant development of new features.

Fantastic in every respect. I’m building amazing tours that my clients love. Because of the high degree of customization, I get to really express my creativity in each tour. I also like the streamlined workflow which enables me to get even complex tours in under deadlines.

We experimented with a number of platforms but they did not have the ease of use and versatility VideoTours360 Ultimate offer. They have everything you need to produce a virtual tour and make it as basic, complex or as intuitive as you like.

Really good created User Experience on the site. Everything working fast, intuitive, and without problems. Everything that was needed, we wrote on support and they help up under 24 hours.

There is an inspiring community producing amazing interactive content though the platform and the VideoTours360 Ultimate team is extremely supportive in promoting our content and increasing global awareness.

Hence, on this note, I’ll say; VideoTours360 Ultimate is a timely solution and I highly recommend it. Without any doubt, I can give it a five-star review, anything other than that will be “BIAS!” You can go ahead and secure your access, your investment is SAFE & WISE, cheers!

The global pandemic COVID 19 has become a gamechanger for the retailers who always maintained a distance from the digital world. They have jumped online to secure their business future in the market, and that proved highly beneficial.

E-commerce businesses have observed a massive boom in their sales and profits. The past few months of lockdown saw unprecedented growth.

According to software development stats, 2 billion people shopped online in 2020. During the same year, the e-retail industry has made a revenue of 4.28 trillion U.S. dollars worldwide.

You can see how much customers are obsessed with online shopping. It's high time to start your e-commerce business and become a part of this online business world.

But, also remember there's no proven formula for building a profitable organization. Overnight successes are impossible. There are some major do's and don'ts that you should keep in mind while starting your e-commerce business. 

So start reading this blog and find out the do's and don'ts of e-commerce startups. 

Do’s For E-commerce Startups

 

#1. Keep Your Customers Updated With Your Business Status

After the COVID outbreak, the government has put many restrictions worldwide. Many online businesses have reached out to their customers to know their status, whether they are safe or not in this pandemic.

The top e-commerce giants like Amazon and Flipkart were staying in touch with their customers via mail sharing covid restrictions tips,  safety protocols they followed during online delivery, and more to keep them updated with their business status.  In short,  stay in touch with your customers always and share your business updates and status all time. 

#2. Educate Customers About E-commerce

Many people prefer online shopping due to trust and quality assurance. Though online shopping is in the past few years, everyone has not adopted this norm. Here, what you should do is educate your customer about the online shipping benefits. Explain to them the perks and discounts that they can get by shopping online.  

#3. Test Your Product First

Before investing your money and time, check out your product quality first. If it's good, know its current demand. 

Go to acquaintances, friends, and family to try the product. Select people who are straightforward. Give away samples in exchange for completing a survey. Try to enlist as wide a selection of guinea pigs as possible.

Apple, Microsoft, Dell, Harley-Davidson, and Nike were garage operations that grew into multi-billion dollar global companies. Its founders were not necessarily geniuses. Nevertheless, they were able to show that their products worked and were in demand.

#4. Create an Effective Business Model that Generates Income

A business model is vital in every business, and investors will ask you the first time. Decide how all aspects of your business, such as marketing, finance, and technology, will be structured and managed for the best results. Of course, you can gain first market share by offering something for free. Still, you must confirm how your business will run profitably in the long run.

#5.Offer Alternatives Or Services

Being an online store owner, you should provide various services or products to attract a broader customer base.

If you have a gym, you should not just concentrate on selling gym memberships; you should also expand your services to yoga, Zumba, functional training, etc. After Covid-19, many businesses providing customers with different custom ecommerce solutions will flourish.

#6. Engage New Customers

Instead of not losing their old customers, e-commerce companies should not forget to attract new customers to their portals.

It is an opportunity to attract them to e-commerce, make the most of it. After the pandemic, social distancing will attract more consumers to buy basic things online as they will avoid going out.

#7. Make the Most of Resources

The enormous losses suffered by e-commerce businesses are a well-known fact. It is the time when you recoup the loss through optimal use of resources, reduce your expenses, and save costs in the slightest amount of money.

Use sources wisely, satisfying your former customers with even less profit. Keep in mind that the business must cultivate the habit of spending online on its customers.

#8. Check Your Language

Language control is always an essential item on a "TO DO" ​​list, but these days it has become even more necessary when it comes to customers.

Customers will be anxious and nervous; after the pandemic, use dry humor to please customers (depending on your brand), it can cause a repulsive reaction. The point in eCommerce is that you have to be careful, so marketing, graphics, and more should be appropriate for the current times.

#9. Take Advantage of Time-Saving Technology

Running a business is much easier with applications and software systems like Vend, Trello, and G Suite. These are just some of the details that can get you off your hands:

• Choose the ideal time for your business launch

• Business email setup

• Project organization

• Transaction management

• Inventory management

• Create rewards programs

• Help enforce the Minimum Advertised Price policy

A MAP policy is a set minimum price at which authorized sellers can advertise their products. It is created to safeguard your brand.

Enforcing your MAP policy will keep your prices consistent and help you control margins. You will also prevent dishonest sellers from making your product look bad by pricing it too low.

Sellers who do not comply with their MAP policy should be cut off or at the very least warned. Several subscription-based services, such as TradeVitality and PriceManager, can help you monitor MAP policy violations. In addition, relying on technology aids will free up time and workforce for marketing and tracking results.

#10. Create a World-Class Website

Acording to GoDaddy, today 50% of all small businesses in the US are not online yet. Given that customers have become more tech-savvy than ever. A professional website will give you a head start. It will, that is, if your content is up to the task. The content must be attractive, beneficial, and somewhat entertaining. Would customers share your bond with friends? If not, then your content is not good enough. 

Check out competitor websites. Look for information gaps, confusing graphics, or poorly written content. Then improve your website. It is no shame to hire an expert to design your site.

Don't expect to pull visitors out of anywhere. Have a strategy for driving traffic your way. Unless you have knowledge of algorithms and SEO, you must probably hire.

#11. Go mobile

GoDaddy reports that more than half of all ecommerce traffic comes from smartphones; that's great for American business owners. Mobile saves around $ 32 billion and countless hours of work each year. However, creating a dedicated application for receiving orders and process payments is only the first step. To stay ahead in the market, you should have an innovative and robust application like your brand.  

The Warby Parker app, for example, allows customers to upload their photos and try on the glasses virtually. They can even share the images on social media and get their friend's comments on them.

Don'ts Of E-commerce Startups

#1. Don't Exceed Your Budget

 

Wait until your business is profitable before borrowing money to expand or upgrade. You will be at much lower risk if you have proven that your business is sustainable. You will also receive a good interest rate. It's kind of like being a more desirable job candidate while still employed than after you've lost a job.

#2. Never Try To Do Everything at Once

Before experimenting with new ideas:

1. Troubleshoot yo1ur operation.
2. Focus on providing excellent service.
3. Know your customers to market their specific tastes and needs.

In short, don't launch your tennis line until it's the best resource on the internet for athletic shoes.

#3. Don't ignore Your Customers

Feedback is vital for creating a loyal customer base. You don't just have to respond well to comment; know their feedback regularly. It may sound like living in a world of whiners, but many people prefer to take their affairs elsewhere than make a complaint quietly.

Customers should find you quickly, so try to make it simple for customers. If you find that they are facing any problem, fix it. Also, encourage them to participate in a customer satisfaction survey, where they have to fill a form and share their customer experience. When they give feedback, take it seriously. It will help you in improving your services and increasing your customer base.
 

#4. Don't be Self-Centered

Follow other companies on social media, build relationships, and know your key competitors in the market. Ask them if you can choose their brains. If you impress them and earn their trust, some may even be willing to endorse you.

Lastly, don't give up too quickly. Sheer luck sometimes influences success, but mostly it is the result of hard work and perseverance.

If all of your customers agree that you have a quality product or service to offer, wait a little longer for the word to get out. You can be just one day away from becoming the next top e-commerce giant.
