This is a quick guide to Kotlin programming language. The previous part of this guide is here

#Object Oriented

fun main(args : Array<String>) {
  class local (val x : Int)
  
  val y = local(10)
 println("${y.x}")

Using Dnsmasq with Ubuntu for VM web application testing

When running virtual machines under a Linux host system for testing web apps in various browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer), I found it rather tedious having to continually tweak the hosts file within each VM for the purpose of adding entries pointing back to the host machine's development web server address.

Instead the steps below will setup Dnsmasq on a Ubuntu 16.04LTS, 14.04LTS or 12.04LTS host machine for the purpose of serving both it's own DNS queries and that of virtual machine guests. Dnsmasq will parse the /etc/hosts file on your host machine where we will keep a single set of DNS entires to our test web application(s).

• Method 1
  • Ubuntu 16.04LTS / 14.04LTS
  • Ubuntu 12.04LTS
• Method 2
  • Stop NetworkManager running it's own Dnsmasq

Using a PostgreSQL database on Heroku with Sails.js

The trick to setting up a Sails.js app with a remote Postgres database hosted on Heroku is all about SSL. Here's how you do it:

In your adapters.js file

Note: This is for Sails v0.9.x, the stable release at the time of this writing.

In Sails v0.10.x, the config/adapters.js file has been replaced with config/connections.js

This is an example of how to scaffold API endpoints to list / get / create / update / delete Posts in a Keystone website.

It's a modification of the default project created with the yo keystone generator (see https://github.com/JedWatson/generator-keystone)

Gists don't let you specify full paths, so in the project structure the files would be:

routes-index.js        -->    /routes/index.js         // modified to add the api endpoints
routes-api-posts.js    -->    /routes/api/posts.js     // new file containing the Post API route controllers

Unless specified otherwise, all of the below tinting applies to both Lollipop and pre-Lollipop using AppCompat v21. To use the support version of these attributes, remove the android namespace.  For instance, "android:colorControlNormal" becomes "colorControlNormal".  These attributes will be propagated to their corresponding attributes within the android namespace for devices running Lollipop.  Any exceptions to this will be noted by including the "android:" prefix.

All Clickable Views:
-----------
* ripple effect (Lollipop only) -- "colorControlHighlight"

Status Bar:
------------
* background (Lollipop only) - "colorPrimaryDark"

To implement API authentication in KeystoneJS, you need the following:

For key based authentication

• Middleware that validates the key in the request body or a header

For session based authentication

• An endpoint that handles signin
• An endpoint that handles signout
