In this article, we will talk about the different topics that will lead us to understand better what thenew keyword does in JS.

1. What is the __proto__ property and its role when it comes to objects and the prototypal chaining
2. What’s the difference between prototype and __proto__
3. Where in our code do we take advantage of __proto__ and prototype and the prototypal chain
4. With all the previous knowledge, we will be able to understand the new keyword and how do the different pieces relate to it

The tweet which you can see below is asking whether all Objects have the prototype property [by default]. It sparked a lot of discussions, different answers, and people wondering if what they think is correct or not. …

Most probably you’re reading this because you are probably developing a blog using Django. It’s something I actually was searching all over the internet 2 years ago when I started learning python, and couldn’t find examples online. Took me weeks, but I finally figured out, and was lucky enough to find a StackOverflow question that is asking the same question and I could answer it perfectly.

You’ll just need two models. One for the Post and the other would be for the Images. Your Images model would have a ForeignKey to the Post model:

class Post(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User)
    title = models.CharField(max_length=128)
    body = models.CharField(max_length=400)

def get_image_filename(instance, filename):
    id = instance.post.id
    return "post_images/%s" % (id)  


class Images(models.Model):
    post = models.ForeignKey(Post, default=None)
    image = models.ImageField(upload_to=get_image_filename, …

Fractals are great, and I started using them in project Rawag, but after updating the old code for a speed performance update, I needed to return a fractal in a custom response. The reason behind this was I only wanted to load specific data for a JSON response, because returning a fractal for a whole Collection the loading time is very slow, so I needed a smaller JSON response.

I’m using laravel-fractal https://github.com/spatie/laravel-fractal

So instead of returning a collection with nested collections:

return $this->response()->collection($reservations, new ReservationTransformer)->setStatusCode(200);

I can return a custom array with only the ‘Fracteled’ data that I need, which in this case just the property.

return [
    "id" => $reservation->id,
    "reference" => $reservation->reference,
    "property" => (new PropertyTransformer)->transform($reservation->property)
];
