Debugging with Rust and React-Admin | Chill Sunday Morning Coding - Episode 79
2In this video, we delve into debugging and optimizing our Glowing-Telegram project using Rust for the backend and React-Admin for the frontend. I navigated through a series of issues, ranging from caching and API responses to handling performance glitches and data updates. Here’s a quick summary of the key points covered in the video:
First, I walked through the process of building and caching Twitch API images, explaining the steps used and why certain parts were cached. I then transitioned to investigating a peculiar issue involving API response handling and how string values were being parsed incorrectly. This debugging session led me to reconfigure how empty strings and null values are handled in our JSON responses.
I then interacted with both Firefox and Chrome’s Developer Tools, demonstrating the discrepancies between the two when it comes to handling JSON responses, and shared insights on how to debug these issues effectively.
Furthermore, I discussed the importance of structuring our code and database to make it easier to manage features like thumbnails in our React-Admin UI. By making small but significant adjustments, we ensure that our backend communicates correctly with the frontend, thus avoiding unwanted behaviors.
Towards the end, I explained my eventual goal in automating playlist assignments for episodes published on YouTube, emphasizing the role of series associations in accomplishing this. This part included a step-by-step guide on adding series selections in the UI, updating the backend to support these new fields, and ensuring smooth interaction between database tables and our API.
Additionally, I highlight useful tools and libraries, such as OpenAI Whisper for transcription, and their integration into the workflow to automate processes like generating and handling video transcriptions. Finally, I touched upon the use of Rust for creating efficient backend services and the advantages it brings in terms of performance and reliability.
Overall, this episode is packed with hands-on debugging experiences, optimization techniques, and new feature implementations aimed at refining our Glowing-Telegram project. Enjoy and don’t forget to check out the resources below!
