Angular CDK Tutorial: Automatically Resizing Textareas

stp2y0 CommentsNewsangular, angularcdk, angulardevelopers, coding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, software, webdev

By default, an HTML textarea control doesn’t expand or contract as content is added and removed. Sometimes this is ok, but often it would be better if we did have some control where we could allow the height to resize automatically, to better fit the content. Well, this is possible and, in fact, it’s really easy to do in Angular when using the CDK. In this example I’ll show you just how easy it is. Alright, let’s get to it! The Demo Application For the example in this post, we’ll be working with this demo application, Petpix. It’s an app…

@PreDestroy and @PostConstruct in Spring

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, software

These annotations are called at specific moments in the bean lifecycle. They allow you to define methods executed after a bean is created and before the beans are destroyed. Both annotations come from Jakarta EE and can be used in Spring projects. They are useful for managing resources that are only used in the bean’s life cycle scope. Let’s see a practical example: We have a CustomNotificationService bean that uses an ExternalMessageSender Before sending messages, you need to create a connection to an external API and authenticate. So our ExternalMessageSender should look like this: public class ExternalMessageSender { public void…
